Theo came to stand besides Scarlet, now that Jasper wasn't in the room. "So, I see you've fallen for my little brother."

She only nodded in response instead of answering him, smiling as the kids selected the first song they wanted to sing, “Alright, so one of you older kids want to put it in so we can start?”

Marco stood between Scarlet and Theo, silently putting some distance between the two. One of the younger kids took the first song and put it in the disc player

(You can choose the song)
She glanced at Marco and smiled slightly, wondering where Jasper had went and if he was going to come back.

(hallelujah?)
Theo scowled down at the kid and went off to stand by a wall. The kids got ready to sing in their usual spots and waited to start, some glancing around for Jasper as well

(Sure, like the ‘I heard there was a secret chord’ one?)
Scarlett clapped her hands to get the kids attentions and moved to press play on the disc player, “Alright, everyone ready?”

(yep)
They all nodded, still wondering where Jasper was but willing to listen to Scarlet. "Well I've heard there was a secret chors, that David played and it pleased the Lord."

“But you don’t really care for music do ya,” She sang with them, glancing to the door every so often to see if she could see Jasper.

Some of the kids laughed as they shook their heads "Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah."

She smiled and started dancing around the kids to the song, “Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah.”

Jas came back shortly and stood next to his brother, watching as Scarlet led the class.
"Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof…" Some of the kids giggled

She couldn’t help but let her smile grow at the kids giggling, still dancing around and faking a small bath of sorts. Scarlett didn’t see Jasper come back in, already focused on the class, “Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.”

All the kids burst into laughter, making it hard for them to come time singing. "She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah,"

She ruffles some of the kids hair and continued singing, her smile growing even more, “Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah.”

Jasper smiled softly and sat down

"But baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor"

“I used to live alone before I knew ya,” She continued, almost acting out the song as she dances, “I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,”

"she's not bad. She can take over your job." Theo said
Jas nodded "she really could." He agreed
"And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"

She glanced over at where Theo was standing, silently hoping Jasper had came back in. A small smile appeared on her face when she saw him out of the corner of her eye and she continued singing, “hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.”

"when's the funeral?" Jasper asked softly
"Monday." Theo replied

"Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below"

“But now you never show it to me do you?” She continued, leaning against one of the tables to take a short break.

Jasper nodded "will you be there this time?" He asked
Theo nodded "ya of course I will."

"But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too"

“And every breath we drew was hallelujah,” She continued, smiling at the kids as she stood up straight and shook out her arms so she could continue singing with them and dancing.

Jasper smiled softly, despite the situation.

"Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah"

Theo glanced over at his brother, "can you meet me here tomorrow morning? I want to talk."

Jasper stared at him "it's gonna take a death in the family for you to talk to me? ….sure."

“Maybe there’s a God above, and all I ever learned from love is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.” She moved to stand in front of the kids, watching them sing and singing along with them.

" is it ok if Scar comes?" Jasper asked
Theo nodded "yeah, it's fine."

"And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"

“Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,” She continued singing, letting her voice blend with theirs until the last note of the song.

"Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah," the kids go ished up sweetly.
Jasper stood and hugged Scarlet "that was great, your going to run me out of a job."

She squeaked lightly when he hugged her but quickly hugged him back, laughing lightly, “Thanks, though I think you should keep your job, I’ll just help.”

He nodded and headed over to a corner "Whats next? oooh Heathens? Good song. You know what we do for this one, kill the lights." Jasper went over to a corner and grabbed his guitar. He pulled down the shades down, cloaking the room in darkness. "ready?" he asked with a grin

(That’s a good songgggggggg!)
Scarlett looked around, slightly confused before taking a place against the wall so she didn’t trip on anything.
