Free Bird

4 years later...

"Chantel Purdy." is all Chantel hears before the screams and cheers of her whole family.
There is a beam of sunlight shining through the window of the gymnasium that has broken through the clouds. She knew what that meant and she smiled as she whispered...
"Thank you aunt Jessica."
She grabbed her diploma and walked off the stage. Then she heard...
"Congratulations class of 2034!" ( I know, thats so far in the future right? Hope I did my math right.)
----------------------------
At Chantel's open house her two best friends are the only ones there besides her family and Allen's boyfriend Eric. She wasn't one to have a tight circle of friends and Amy and Allen were all she needed., especially when Amy was her girlfriend. (she's bi)
She is showered with love from all her aunts and uncles while her 8 cousins and 3 siblings run around the house and backyard. When she excuses herself and her friends they end up in her room.
"So how is the new album coming?" Allen asks from her plush bean bag chair, Eric in his lap.
"I'm almost finished, I just need to write one more song. My aunt Amelia is pressuring me to get it done before I start school in the fall." Chantel says from her spot on the bed, Amy next to her.
"Can we hear something?" Eric perks up
Chantel blushes, and grabs her guitar.
"I'll sing the one that isn't finished. Don't judge me," and with that she begins the intro, "I never knew you, but one day I will. You appear through the sun, and I always get chills... A friend, a aunt, a sister, I always hear momma say 'I miss her'... Jessica."
Everybody looks at her, memorized by the lyrics, "my aunt Jessica," just then the door opens and Neveah stands in the doorway, chocked up. Chantel immediately knows her mother heard her song. She walks to her mother and hugs her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's good Chantel, one more take and we're done for the day" Amelia tells her niece
The girl takes a breath and sings her song again. She chokes up at the end, and Amelia doesn't blame her, she wrote the song about an aunt she never got to meet.
"Good job sweetie, we're done for the day."
