It was Quincy! I tried to fix my mouth to say hi or even call Keenan's name but nothing came out. "Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones!" Keenan called running towards me. "Mr. Jones, hi, I'm Keenan Pearson, your engineer for tonight. The rest of the team is on their way, I just wanted to come early to set up for you guys." He grabbed my arm and pulled me next to him. "Sorry about this one, I had to bring her along" he giggles nervously. "I know it's very unprofessional and I hope you can forgive me" clearing his throat. "No worries, parental duties I understand!" Quincy said, as he put down his bag. "We just came from the Grammys, and won big tonight! I'm in a great mood" he exclaimed. "She's my baby sister" Keenan sighed. Quincy leaned down face to face with me and smiled and I could barely breathe. "Young lady, you have a powerful little voice on you! Did you know that? What is your name?" "I'm...I'm..." As I was trying to get my name out my throat, Michael walked in smiling and he looked right at me. Keenan was so good at meeting stars, he ran right over to Michael and shook his hand introducing himself and me. Quincy looked back at Michael and shouted with his arms outstretched "8 Grammys!" while laughing and shouting. Keenan took me back upstairs with Michael and Quincy following.

I sat down on the couch in the back of the room to stay out of the way. Michael came back towards me and extended his hand for me to shake. "Hi." He smiled. "I'm Michael, what's your name?" I felt my heart fall into my chest, my throat closed up and I couldn't breathe. I don't know how I did it but I told him my name. "J-J-Jayla" I stuttered. "That's a really pretty name, Jayla. Do you mind if I sit here with you?" Still stuck with my mouth hanging open, I shook my head and scooted over. Michael sat and just giggled "Are you ok?" He said. "She's in shock, Mr Jackson. You're her favorite entertainer so she's excited to meet you" Keenan said laughing. "Michael, she's got a heck of a voice on her too! Remember we heard something when we walked in? That was her!" Quincy said. I turned red. I didn't know they heard me. Michael turned and put his arm around me "you can sing? Do you like singing? I'd love to hear!" "I'm really shy..." I said quietly, my eyes wide and staring at his glove on my shoulder" Keenan looks at the engineering board and sees a light flashing. "I think it recorded while she was down there this may be it because I know I erased all the tracks.." He hit rewind and then hit play.
