Regina placed her bag down on the table while still looking at Luke. "Yeah I still wanna learn." Said Regina pearching herself on the edge of the table. "How long you been playing a guitar? I used to but that was years ago and now it has completely escaped my memory." Said Regina with a soft laugh.

Regina thought for a minute as she rembered back to when she used to play the guitar. "Well only a little bit which ain't alot so you may aswell say nothing." Said Regina leaning back alittle. "Oh and sorry about your parents.....Is that one reason why you took up playing the guitar to try and take your mind off of it?" Asked Regina looking up at Luke.

"dont be sorry, it happens to families. and to answer your question, ya i guess you could say that...my mom and my brother moved away so im basically just here alone cause well..my dad never alone. music helps with everything" he smiled

Regina listened to Lukes story, nodding occaisionally, understanding what he meant. She sat there for a minute and then decided to quickly change the topic before it becomes awkward. "So these lessons, do you want payment?" Asked Regina.

Regina smiled at Luke when he told her there was need to [ay him. "Ok cool and thanks." Said Regina. A sigh pssed her lips as it had seemed like forever she had been waiting for the lesson to start. "Does time always slow down in schools. I swear it does." Said Regina with abit of a laugh.

Regina looked at Luke as he got his gutar out. She wondered if he was going to ask her to sing. "Well I'm not going to sing it." Said Regina with a slight laugh. "And I have a differnt song every month." Said Regina kind of answering Lukes question.

Regina laughed a littke as Luke practically begged her to sing. Well it was just the two of them and he was giving her lessons for free. It was the least she could do. "Ok but don't come and complain to me when you get an earache." Said Regina clearing her voice. "I usually sing ballads because well I find it easier to sing them." Said Regina. "Do you know family portrait by pink?" She asked looking round at Luke.

Regina sat up right and listened to Luke playing getting ready when to start singing.
Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma please stop cryin, I can’t stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn’t mean those nasty things you
said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you’ll see
I don’t want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t
leave
Daddy please stop yellin, I can’t stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don’t wanna go back to that place, but don’t have
no choice, no way
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my
family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t
leave
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let’s play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don’t wanna have to split the holidays
I don’t want two addresses
I don’t want a step-brother anyways
And I don’t want my mom to have to change her
last name
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do
anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Turn around please
remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I’ll be so much better, I’ll tell my brother
Oh, I won’t spill the milk at dinner
I’ll be so much better, I’ll do everything right
I’ll be your little girl forever
I’ll go to sleep at night
At the end of the song Regina laughed alittle and looked over to Luke. "Sounded like a cat being strangled didn't it?" Asked Regina laughing slightly. This was the first time she had actually sung infront of a stranger so she was kind of nervous what Luke would say.
