Harry's POV

It Friday and my last class just ended. Today was a fine day. It has been a week and a half since Noah and his friends bullied me in the bathroom. They all had gotten detention for a week but Noah only wanted to hit me more after that.
It happened when I was walking towards Mr. Deakin's classroom during Lunch. Noah had only the chance to punch me once in my stomach before my math teacher got a hold on him.
Because this wasn't his first time now, he was expelled immediately. After that Oliver, William and Elijah didn't beat me anymore out of fear of being expelled but that didn't stop them from calling me names or laughing at me or shouting how of a horrible person I was.

I'm walking to the nurses' room so I can ride with Jay and Mr. Deakin to their home. I still can't believe they trust me with their children but I'm not complaining. When I was there last week somewhere, I had so much fun with them.
We sang my favorite One Direction songs and every time when it was going to be Louis' solo, everyone was quiet to listen. I may have told them before that Louis has always been my favorite member of One Direction and everyone had chuckled in responds.
I don't know why, he just is. They all have really nice voices but Louis' sticks out for me. He always speaks highly about his large family but he also never revealed who they were out of privacy, so they could live a normal live.

Jay pulls me out of my thoughts and we go pick up her kids from school and Mr. Deakin's and her 2 babies from daycare.

When we arrive at their home, Phoebe and Daisy want to show me what they made during art at school. After they showed me, Jay gives me a tour around the house because I've only been in the living room and in the cellar where the karaoke machine is.
She shows me the guestroom which is really big and has 3 beds in it, the bathroom, the girls and Ernest's rooms and the kitchen.
When we walk towards the kitchen, we walk past a closed door with a poster on the door that reads: 'Dangerous gasses. Entry on own risk!' I laugh at the poster and Jay explains it is her eldest sons' bedroom before he moved to London with his friends.

After the tour Dan, who asked me not to call him Mr. Deakin at home, shows me how to change the nappies of Ernest and Doris and what and how to feed them. He also says that there is pizza for me and the kids in the freezer.

The moment Jay and Dan leave the house, Fizzie, Phoebe and Daisy want to sing karaoke. Fizzie wants to sing Little Things by One direction so we go down to the cellar where the karaoke machine is.
When I look around, I see many instruments. A few acoustic guitars, a bass guitar, an electric guitar, drums and a piano. I walk towards the piano and remember the lunchbreaks the last week and a half. I went every time to the music room to practice. I surprised myself that I remember a lot from the lesson's mom gave me.

We had a lot of fun when Fizzies' phone rang and said that she had to go to her room to help a friend with homework. I needed to put Ernest and Doris to bed and Daisy and Phoebe really wanted to help and so we all went upstairs.

Daisy, Phoebe and I entered the living room at the moment Fizzie came downstairs. We were all hungry so we placed the pizzas in the oven.

After the pizza's disappeared in our stomachs, Daisy and Phoebe went to bed. Fizzie and I were watching High School Musical while Fizzie was braiding my hair. My hair has been growing out for a while now.
At the beginning, it was just because I didn't had time to go to a barber, but after a while I thought of growing it out until it was long enough to donate to make wigs from.

When the film ended, Fizzie went to bed, and I went back to the cellar. I wanted to play the piano a little more. I put the piano on a volume low enough that the kids wouldn't hear it from their rooms, but you could hear it from the living room so if they woke up, they could hear, where I was.

After I learned Little things on the piano, I went upstairs and took Rednot out of my backpack. The last few weeks, it has been easier to pay attention in school so I've written less in Rednot then before.
I take one of my pens and begin to write. When I'm finished, I look at it but to my surprise, I hear the text as a song and not as a poem.
I decide to go back to the cellar and play the melody I heard in my mind on the piano. The second time I play the melody, I sing the text with it.

Now you were standing there right in front of me
I hold on, it's getting harder to breathe
All of a sudden, these lights are blinding me
I never noticed how bright they would be

I saw in the corner there is a photograph
No doubt in my mind it's a picture of you
It lies there alone in its bed of broken glass
This bed was never made for two

I'll keep my eyes wide open
I'll keep my arms wide open

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star
I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand, oh
Seems like these days I watch you from afar
Just trying to make you understand
I'll keep my eyes wide open, yeah

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

I repeated the last chorus a few times before I finished. It isn't bad, I think.
I really want to remember it tomorrow so in order not to forget it, I play it a third time, but this time, I record it with my phone.

Louis POV

I'm back home for the weekend. And with home, I don't mean my house in London but the house where my mom, sisters, brother and stepdad live.

I enter the house with my key but it is mostly silent. I hear piano noises from downstairs but I decide to go to the kitchen first. From the long trip, I'm hungry.
When I enter the kitchen, I see a note on the countertop which starts with Dear Harry, and then the timestamps my sisters and brother have to go to bed. I'm guessing Harry is a babysitter then, and mom and Dan are out for the evening.

I decide to go to bed early so I can surprise my family with breakfast in the morning. Just when I want to go upstairs to my room, I hear the piano from downstairs again. I go down the stairs as quiet as possible. I can't see anyone but I can hear how someone, I guess Harry, is playing a song I don't know.
When he's finished, he starts again but sings quietly with the melody. It is a really good song. I wonder who's it from and how comes I've never heard it before.
I take my phone and starts to film. He sings so well and I want to show Niall, Liam and Zayn it. 

When he finished the song the second time and I heard him get up, I quickly, but quietly went upstairs to my room. I had already put my suitcase there so I didn't have to do that after I ate. I striped down my clothes so I was in my boxers and set my alarm before I went to bed.
It didn't take long to fall asleep.

Harry's POV

I walk back upstairs and when I see Jay and Dan should be back in 20 minutes, put the TV on to wait on them.

I wake up in the sofa when I hear the door closing. I must have drifted off.

'I think you fell asleep.' Dan stated.

'Yeah, I think so but not too long ago.' I answer.

'Do you want to go home or to the guestroom?' Jay askes 'You look really tired so maybe it's better if you just go home in the morning.

'Yeah, you are right.'

She brings me an old t-shirt from Dan that I can use as pajamas and a towel so I can take a shower in the morning.
I wish them a good night before I go to the guestroom. I change and lay down in bed were I immediately fall back asleep.
