R Chapter Three

Kat stepped out of the shower feeling refreshed an vibrant. She walked into her room and changed into a pair of baby blue striped pjs. she walked downstairs, still not quite knowing her way around the house yet. She had only been there once before, but only out back and the bedroom. The long hallway she walked through was filled with pictures of Wade and other people. He had really made a name for himself she couldn't be any happier for him. Hearing music coming from the basement, Kat walked down. She saw Wade dancing in the mirror, concentration on getting moves down. It was to one of the songs she heard earlier. They were all goofing off to Britney's song "oops. . .I did it again" she stood there for a few minutes, just watching him, but when he saw her in the mirror, he stopped.
"I didn't know I had an audience" she laughed and began clapping.

"A standing ovation my man!" he chuckled and walked over and turned off the stereo.

"On Friday I have to go down to Orlando for two weeks. Do you want to stay up here, or if you want, you can come down with me."
"Well, I don't care. What would you rather have me do?" he shrugged.

"I don't care. You can come if you want, I figured you would want to explore LA, and all that stuff"

"I can do that. But whose gonna show me everything? If you want, I'll stay here. We can figure it out later. What were you doing?" she took her time looking around the rather large makeshift dance studio and recording studio. Off to the right, there were speakers and a stereo system set up, then to the left, there was a small wooden recording booth with a system set up that she had no idea what any of the small buttons did.
I was just running over this routine before tomorrow morning, changing any last minute things.
Oh, okay! Ill let you be. Im gonna go upstairs and see if theres anything on TV. She smiled and went back upstairs, to her room. After practicing for about another half-hour, he decided to call it quits and headed up as well.

The music flowed soothingly throughout the room as Kat stood out on the balcony, admiring the sight of the ocean in the distance and the stars shining above her. She looked down at the picture in her hands as a tear slid down her cheek.
Why did you have to take them away from me? she whispered. Why? she held the picture to her chest and closed her eyes, remembering the moments she shared with her parents.

But daddy Im scared Ill fall off! A five-year-old Katrina whined to her father Joseph.
Baby you will be okay! Just close your eyes and picture yourself riding down the road with your pink bike! Trust me when I say you will be fine! He smiled and picked up her small body, placing it on the light pink bicycle seat.
Are you ready sweet heart? Her mother Joy asked holding a camera in her hand. Slowly Kat nodded her head, the light pink bike helmet bobbing up and down.
Okay well lets get a picture of our little girl about to ride her bike for the first time! Joy and Joseph both gathered around Kats small bike, setting the camera on a stand.
Say cheese guys! he yelled. They all yelled cheese, as Kat sat on her bike. Her mother on the right, her father on the left.

That was one day she would never forget. Both of her parents smiling as she rode off on her new bike. She felt a breeze beside her and looked over, seeing Wade standing there smiling.
Hey, whats wrong? He asked concerned. He had seen her tear strained face.
Nothing. She said with a sniffle. He took one glance of the picture and pulled her into a hug. It was just what she needed at that time. I dont get why they BOTH had to leave me! What 17year old girl do you know who doesnt have ANY parents? Doesnt have a mom to go shopping with, or share beauty secrets with, or a father to question every guy you bring into the house!? Wade pulled back and looked into her eyes.
I know a girl who is full of strength and courage. Who strives to achieve the best and conquer all. Who is beautiful in every way imaginable, and who tackles every obstacle thrown in her way. You know even though she may not have a mom or dad, she has so many other people who love her and care the world for her. Including the guy who is standing in front of her now!
She sighed and turned back to the railing, wiping away more tears. You know I wonder what things wouldve been like. If they were still here. Would I still be in Australia? Would I be singing, or going to school for law like I am now? Would we still be as close as we are right now? she looked so venerable at that moment. Her eyes studying the sand below her room.

I honestly couldnt tell you the answers to those questions, but there is one fact. I know that we would still be close. Nothing can pull us apart Katrina, nothing. Kat looked down at a scar on her right arm. It was from the accident. She lay comatose for nearly a month before getting up, and basically learning how to walk again.
Why didnt I die too? she thought quietly to herself.
You know what, Ive got an idea. Why dont we go downstairs and try something really quick. Wade said as an idea popped into his head.
Try what? she asked as he pulled her off the balcony and out of the room. They headed back downstairs to the basement and turned the lights on.
You my dear, are going to sing! he pointed to the glass encased recording booth.
sing? Sing what? she asked.
A song! Duh! lets see, go over there and pick a single. Im sure youll find at least one in there you know! Then, after you find it, Ill mess around with it and try and get the lead vocals out, leaving just the background. Then you can sing it! she shrugged then walked over to the rack of CDs, searching through them aimlessly. One of them though, she knew by heart, and it was one that whenever she heard it, it reminded her of Wade. She pulled it out and handed it to him, did as he asked, walking into the booth, and sat down. There was only a microphone and stool in it. After sitting there for what seemed like ages, Wade pointed to the headset.
Okay Kitty, the music will come through the headphones. The background vocals are still there, but Christinas voice is faded out. Just sing right into the microphone, like youre the only one in here. She nodded her head as the music flowed through the headset and after taking a deep breath, she let the words flow with a passion in her voice never heard before.

When Im lost in the rain
In your eyes I know
Ill find the light to light my way
When Im scared, losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around and when Im down youre there
Pushing me to the top
Youre always giving me all youve got

For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me save and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
I turn to you
I turn to you

When I loose the will to win
I just reach for you
And I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
cos your love is so amazing
cos your love inspires me

And when I need a friend
Youre always on my side
Giving me faith, taking me through the night

She put so much heart into singing the words that were coming out of her mouth. Her voice was so entrancing. He knew she could sing, but there was SO much passion put into this song. Too much maybe.

For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything thats true
I turn to you

For the arms to be my shelter
Through all the rain
For truth that will never change
For some one to lean on
For a heart I can rely on through anything
For that one who I can run to

The music faded out and Kat stood there, smiling. All her problems pushed to the back of her mind. Wade motioned for her to come out of the booth and she met him at the door.
Kat there is NO way you can pass this up! Your voice is so unique and so beautiful. Its like Whitney Houstons voice is trapped inside a white girls body! Its so awesome! he seemed to be more excited than her.
Im not that good Wade, but thank you for the compliment. Its really sweet of you.
Come sit down. I want you to hear this! he pulled the leather chair out from behind the control board and let Kat sit in it. She sat down as he leaned over her, hitting the playback button, filling the studio with the sound of her voice. Honestly, at first she didnt recognize it as her. If she hadnt sang it herself.
Thats me? You sure you didnt like misplace the real CD? She asked turning to him.
Yeah, thats you! With that voice, your sweet, yet kick ass attitude, and your beauty and body, you can make it in this industry. And I mean that Katrina!
Well, what about my mom and dads business? I cant just decide not to do it. I mean my grandparents were lawyers, my nom and dad were lawyers and I have to carry on that tradition.
You dont have to. I know that you want to sing. I can tell. The look of passion in your eyes when you were in there. She sighed. As much as she wanted to study law, maybe music wasnt such a bad idea. It was her dream years ago, before her parents died, but what if it all didnt work out?
Always take the chance and fail, rather than never try at all! her father used to say. After thinking for a moment, she looked at him.

Okay, I will try it wade, but if none of this works out, Im going to UCLA. She was actually going to go through with it putting all her trust in Wade.
Oh baby this is awesome! You know what, I can probably get you a manager too!
Who? he smiled and hit replay again.
Lance! He has a management company. Before I call him though, are you sure you want to go through with this? he looked her in the eyes.
Yeah, yeah I do. And I hope Lance will do this! he chuckled and kissed her cheek.
He will. Lets go give Lance a little call!

Chapter FOUR

Lance? Hey its Wade.
Hey man whats up?
Can you come over to my house? Ive got to talk to you about some important things. That is of course if your not busy. He took a moment, making eye contact with Kat.
Yeah, I guess I could come over. Give me like ten minutes okay?You got it! Thanks!
Within a half hour, Lance was knocking at the door.
So whats up? he asked as Wade answered.
Okay, I want you to listen to this. He played the song as Lance sat down on the couch next to Katrina. He was stunned by the voice. He recognized it as Christinas song, but it surely wasnt her voice.
Who is this? he asked as Wade sat across from the two.
Your sitting next to her. Lance looked at Kat and smiled.
This is you!? she nodded her head, feeling a slight blush creep over her. your voice is really amazing, did you take any vocal lessons or anything? she smiled, shaking her head.
Nope. Its just my voice, no help or anything. Lance sat there in awe.
Thats awesome. Can you do some a capella for me on the spot?
Uh sure, what do you want me to sing? He shrugged.
I dont care, just do like the ABCs or something. Up to you.
She smiled slightly and began singing the ABCs.
Lance, what would you think about managing her? Wade asked.
I think its a definite possibility. Why dont you come down to Florida with us, and we will work it all out. If her smile could get any bigger, it did.
"I think its a great idea! Wow! I didnt expect this to happen so soon. thank you Lance! She gave him a hug and then Wade. Thank you so much! I woe you. . . again she whispered in his ear as she pulled back from him.
Dont worry about it. Just know that Ill be here for you every step of the way.
They all talked for a while longer and by the time Lance left, it was nearly one in the morning. She would leave on Saturday and go down to Florida o sign a contract. Lance knew she would have no problem getting a record deal and her voice, it was indescribable. Learning that she had no vocal lesions purely shocked him. How could ones voice be so. . perfect without any help?

He walked into JCs house in LA and sighed.
You guys will not believe what is on this CD. He said holding it up.
Whats on it? JC asked from the kitchen.
Just come and check it out! he slipped it in the stereo and Kats voice filled the house.
Who is that PooFu? Justin asked as he and Britney walked into the living room.
My soon to be client Katrina Christman! all their mouths dropped.
THATS KAT!? Oh my goodness! Where did she get that voice? Britney asked
Thats what I want to know! She says she never had a vocal lesson in her life. Pretty amazing huh?
Britney better watch out! Next thing you know, Katrina will be the queen of pop! No offense Brit. Chris exclaimed. The girl was surely gonna make it.
