"I don't know," she said, a little quietly. She just stared at him for a second. "You can decide again," she said, getting up with a smile.

Drew looked at her and thought for a second. He smiled like a small kid. "I don't really know." he confessed with a laugh. He tried to think of something they could do but he thought of nothing at the moment.
Something struck him a few moments later, he had a great idea he hoped she would be interested in. "Wanna learn guitar?" he asked with a smile, he could teach anyone to play cords.

She looked at him. "I don't know. I've tried to before..." she said, losing the next words. The guitarist in her group tried to teach her before. Let's just say, it didn't go well...at all. She bit her lower lip thinking about it for a few minutes. "You could try, I guess," she said.

Drew smiled. "You're a bright girl. Have faith in yourself." he said with a wink as he got off the couch to fetch his guitar. He came back a few moments later with a black guitar with a red streak going across the whole frame. He smiled at her as he sat down next to her.
He closed his eyes and played a few notes for a second, choosing the best ones to show her first. He picked a few and leaned over to her, handing her the guitar. "Ready?" he asked with a warm smile.

She took the guitar. "I guess," she said, in a shaky voice. She hoped that she could play it. She's always wanted to, but never really gotten to it. So, now was the best time to try, and hope for the best.

Drew smiled and slowly walked her through it, showing her where to place her fingers and when to move them. He only showed her a few at a time, he didn't want to overwhelm her.
He sat back after he showed her a few and wondered how she did with those. "Try." he said as he encouraged her to play the notes.

She tried to play what Drew had just shown her. But didn't get them all. It didn't sound good at all. She looked at him, a little hint of confusion on her face. Her face was saying help basically.

Drew saw the confusion in her face and smiled. "You're doing fine." he said with a wink. She was doing great a few notes were off but nothing that couldn't be fixed.
He leaned over and showed her again, he took it slow and showed her each one at least two or three times. He smiled at her as he leaned back and looked at her. "Try again." he encouraged her with a reasuring smile.

Violet played it again. A lot better this time. When she finished, she smiled wide and gave him a hug. "Thanks," she said quietly. She knew it was only a few chords, but it was better than what she could play before.

Drew smiled, he was proud of her. "I knew you'd do great." he said with a warm smile, he reached over and hugged her. He was really proud of her, if she kept at it bit by bit she'd do great.
He looked over at her and smiled, "Want to try the last few cords?" he asked with a grin.

"Sure!" she said excitedly. She waited for him to show her, hoping that she would do good. She liked that Drew could teach her how to play. It made her happy, like she could accomplish more than just singing.

Drew smiled as he reached over and plucked the last few cords with his fingers. He showed her the last few slowly, making sure she understood before moving to the next one. He smiled at her, he knew she'd do fine with those.
"Ready to try those?" he asked with a reasuring smile, he couldn't wait for her to play those too.

"Yup," she said trying. She didn't do too well. But tried again, getting better each time she tried. She was pretty proud of herself. She never thought that she could play the guitar. But now she can show all her band mates that she can actually play.

Drew smiled, she was doing great, he wondered why she had been so nervous about it earlier. She had talent, he could tell. "You're doing awesome. Better than I did on my first few tries." he confessed with a smile.
"Pretty confident with those?" he asked with a smile.

She smiled at him. "This isn't really my first time. The first time I tried, well, didn't go to well," she said. Then she looked at him when he asked his question. "I think I've got them good enough," she said, smiling widely.
