Ch.51 Matters of the heart

(Lizz Allen's PoV)

A carriage is seen flying across the Atlantic Ocean cruising past the birds and being pulled by some unknown creatures. Inside the carriage. A young woman is seen swaying her head while listening to the music. The young woman was wearing a white t-shirt over a brown leather jacket and a pair of grey jeans. Her eyes matched the oceans below and her hair fell just below her ears and was as waves of pure earth, softly reflecting the light of the sun.

Sitting in my carriage I was listening to music from this diskman. I have been in the business for 6 years now and I have heard almost everything but this one right here is different, his words aren't like the ones that I'm used to hearing.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I look to see that it was my manager, Steven. He had this stupid grin on his face and asked, "Listening to him again?"

I put the headphones away and said, "I'm going to work with him, so just doing my homework." 

He sat down beside me and said, "Doesn't seem that way to me, doll." He took the disk man and looked at it and said, "You fancy him, don't you?" He leaned in with a big grin.

I scoffed and said, "Oh, please. I'm Lizz Allen." He chuckled and said, "But you do find him interesting don't you?"

I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back, "I mean photographs aren't still they move but the muggle one's they don't. He writes song from their view and in all honesty it shouldn't really work but they do. His emotions still get through you even if you don't understand all of it."

He pointed at my hair and said, "You're doing it again." I looked and without realising I was fidgeting with my hair again, he chuckled and said, "I think you do find him intriguing"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Who wouldn't a new guy comes up to the scene, no one knows who he is and despite it all sells hundreds of copies, in his first singles… anyone would be a little intrigued."

He chuckled and gave back the disk man and said, "Well, you won't have to wait too long, we'll be there in any day now." He got up and said, "well, I'm off to get a bear, all this flying is making me nauseous." 

I put the headphone back on and started the song again and a smile crept up on my face. He is interesting and I can't wait to meet him.

(Daphne's Pov)

I was laying in my bed, daydreaming which is not like me. I don't like sitting around and do nothing but I don't want to do anything. Every time I start to read a book, I just keep remembering him and his songs. This is so frustrating. I turned my face into the pillow and screamed and stomped my feet around, what the hell is happening to me?

I heard my door open and I moved my head to see who it was and it was Mom. I grumbled and put my face into the pillow. She chuckled and walked into the room and said, "Well, this takes me back." 

She sat on my bed and I asked, "What do you want mom?"

She laid back with me and said, "It hurtful. Can't I just talk to my daughter?"

I looked at her and she asked, "What's been bothering you?"

I turned my body the other way and said, "Nothing everything is fine."

She turned in bed and said in a knowing tone, "I don't think so… you have been holding up in your room ever since you came back with Jon. Did something happen? Did he do something?"

I grumbled and said, "No, nothing happened and like I have been saying everything is fine." She sighed and hugged me and said, "Okay, if you say so… but I'm here if you need anything. Alright?"

I turned around and nodded and she chuckled, "Oh, how I've missed my little girl." She caressed my hair and said, "I'm so glad that Jon's your friend… he is a nice boy."

I shook my head and said, "He's a jerk!"

She laughed and said, "Well, I like him…" I looked at her "Why?" She touched my forehead with her finger and said, "Well, ever since he's been here you've been a bit more lively."

I grumbled and said, "He just likes to mess with me, he is not nice."

She chuckled and said, "Well, he is a boy… they like to tease cute girls."

I looked at her and whined, "MOM!" She laughed and kissed my forehead and I snuggled in closer with my mom. He's just a jerk. He doesn't do anything like that to Tori then why me? Why always me?

A knock was heard and Mom said, "Come on in." The door opened and I heard his voice, "Awe, it's so sweet. Daphne snuggling with her mom." I got up and he said, "I could come back if you want."

Mom chuckled and said, "Or you could join us?" 

I looked at mom and then at Jon and he said, "Yeah, as much as I would like to, something tells me that Daphne would scratch my eyes out if I did."

He looked at me and smirked and I threw a pillow at him and he caught it and I asked, "What do you want, Jerk?"

He sighed and said, "I did want to join you guys, but I was here to ask if you would like to come to the studio tomorrow?"

I crossed my arms and said, "Why so could embarrass me again?"

He smiled and nodded, "Well, that and also because Tori will be there as well, but if you don't want to it's okay."

Mom got up and said, "She'll be there but I'm hurt that you didn't invite me."

She pouted and Jon looked at her and said, "Well, I wanted to but you said that you will be busy with the restorations and all."

I looked at mom and she explained, "Jon wanted to restore his mansion and asked for help…" She then sighed and he said, "I wont be done in one day you can come when Lizz is there to record."

My eyes widened when I heard him mention Lizz. I asked him with anticipation, "Lizz as in Lizz Allen from E.L.F?" He nodded and said, "Yeah, she will release a new single album she is going solo. We got a deal for a collaboration for a few songs. We'll be manufacturing the CDs and all so."

I was astonished by it all and he waved his hand and he said, "Daphne?" I shook my head and asked, "When will you leave for the recording?"

He said, "Well I'll leave early to work on the melody and the music but the recording will start after lunch." 

I nodded and said, "I'll try to be there."

He smiled and said, "I'll be waiting." He was walking away when he stopped and asked, "Can you bring Tori as well?"

I suddenly felt a pit in my stomach and I begrudgingly nodded and he smiled and said, "Thanks, Daph, you're the best."

I exhaled sharply and fell on my bed and mom looked at me for a while but didn't say anything, but then asked, "Tori is?"

I covered my eyes with my arm and said, "Victoria Potter, my best friend."

She sucked on her teeth and said, "Oh, that tough." Unknowingly I just nodded and hummed. But I quickly looked at her and said, "I would like to sleep now Mom."

She sighed and nodded, she sat up on the bed and kissed my forehead and said, "Good night, sweetheart." She left and closed the door behind her and I sighed and touched my chest, this feels so weird.
