Joel adjusted his jeans at his hips, pretty typical every time he started walking as he made his way down the long stretch of a hallway. He nodded his head in Collin’s direction before he pulled his baseball cap to the side. ‘ Hey what’s good man, what are you doing here?” Collin asked before he wrapped his arm loosely around Joel in a hug and pat him on the back. “ Oh hey man, yeah. I just got some stuff I gotta figure out. We’re doing that benefit tonight for what happened to the school…. I need to talk to Logan about the Boyfriend track, … have you been working on any ideas for the video?” he asked as he placed his hands in his front pockets. ‘ Yeah actually I was sort of thinking that we should film some ‘teasers’ after you guys release the song.. make people expect that the video is going to be something different than it really is’, Collin explained. Joel laughed as he nodded. “ Works for me man, hey I gotta go find Parker. I’ll talk to you later, alright?” he said, giving Collin a fistbump before Collin headed back into his office and Joel made his way to find Blake in her studio. “ Knock knock, Dolly Parton” Joel said as he came into her office and shut the door, plopping himself down in one of her comfy white chairs. He looked at the disapproving look Blake gave him about having his feet on the white fabric and lowered them to the floor before taking the lavender blanket off of the back of the chair and wrapping himself in it. And there were vanilla candles burning…. Why the hell did his studio smell like Shane? “ Logan gives you special treatment.” he said with a slight smirk. ‘ I would hope so’ she said before she set her guitar down and looked at him expectantly. “ Wondering why I’m here?” he asked as he shook his knee as his right ankle was crossed over his left knee. ‘ On the ball today.. she said before she sat back in her own chair.
“ I just wanted to stop by…talk about some things…” he said, tapping his fingers against the armrest of the chair. He needed to know how they did it. You spend two seconds with Logan and Blake and you just knew they were in love. But they both also stayed so focused on work. Could he be capable of it too? What was the secret? Did he even want to try? “ What’s up?” she asked as she looked at him with what looked like slight concern. He coughed uncomfortably before he adjusted in the seat, “ Working on lyrics?” he asked, gesturing to the guitar and the paper on her desk. ‘ Yeah.. trying to do something a little different…’ she said, looking back at the piece of paper and her pen before puffing out her cheeks. “ Different? Why? Sappy love songs got you where you are today.” he said lifting his hand up to gesture to the plaques on her wall. ‘ Well it’s easy to write about things you love,’ she said , picking her pencil back up. “ Alright. Song about Logan…. Go.” he said, before snapping his fingers and deciding to throw a wrench in things, “ Avengers are popular right now… make him a superhero, go” he said. Blake rolled her eyes at Joel, setting the pencil down and picked up her guitar. She pursed her lips out for a second before beginning to play along the guitar and started doing her best to make up lyrics, ‘ I always forget to tell you I love you, I’ll love you forever. I watched Superman fly away, you’ve got a busy day today. Go save the world, I’ll be around. I watched superman fly away, come back I’ll be with you someday. I’ll be right here on the ground when you come back down. Tall, dark and beautiful. He’s complicated , he’s irrational. But I hope someday he’ll take me away and save the day” she sang before placing her fingers against the strings to make the music stop. “ Alright, alright. School’s in session. I get it.” Joel said with a quiet laugh. “ Superman isn’t an Avenger though,” he said with a slight point to Blake. “ You said to pick any superhero,” she said, setting her guitar down before she stood up to go get herself a bottle of water from her small fridge.
