Darling, just hold on

7. Jamming session

Saturday 12/02/2011

Louis' POV

I came up with the idea to take Harry to see the boys at noon. They've already said they wanted to meet him after they saw the video, I've sent them of Harry singing so I asked them this morning with the message that I still had to ask Harry.
We entered the car, but I still had to ask him.

'Hey Harry, do you need to be home or do you want to do something?' I asked him.

'Not necessarily but what had you in mind when you say want to do something? He asked, not being sure why I asked.

'Well, I had told the boys, I would meet them at noon but I was wondering if you would like to go with me.'

'Of course, how can I say no if THE Louis Tomlinson asked me to go meet the other members of my favorite boyband?' He answers enthusiastically. He is too cute.

We arrive at Niall's place and walk to the door, when I see Harry hesitates.

'What's wrong? I ask him.

'Noting, just nervous. What if they don't like me? Do they know you are not coming alone?'

'You have nothing to worry about. They will like you and I've asked them this morning if it was okay, I brought you with me, if you would want to.'

We enter the door with the key Niall gave me once so I could enter when he wasn't home yet. Nobody is on the main floor so they are probably in Niall's home studio on the first floor.
When we enter, Liam, Niall and Zayn are already waiting for us. I give them all a quick hug while Harry is standing in the door opening, not being sure what to do.
I think Zayn saw it too because he went to over to Harry to greet him.

'Don't be nervous. You honestly have an incredible voice. This is just a friendly jamming session.' Zayn said to Harry. 

'How would you know that? I've never met you and I can't sing; you guys here the ones with talent.' Harry answered.

I needed to say something.
'I kind of heard you singing and playing the piano yesterday evening while my siblings were already in bed. You were amazing so I filmed it and send it to them. I hope you aren't mad because honestly, you are incredible!'

When I was saying that, I saw Harry go completely white in the face so I guided him to the sofa.

After we all talked a little, Harry started to loosen up so we started with our jamming session. After a while, Niall asked the question I was thinking of all day long.

'Harry, what was that song you were singing yesterday? None of us recognized it so it can't be something well known, but I really liked it.'

'Oh, it was noting. It was just a poem I wrote last night but when I read it, it sounded like a song in my head so I tried it by playing a melody on the piano.' Harry answered nonchalant.

'Well,' Liam said, 'you sounded amazing and you weren't even singing at your best because you were holding in. Would you mind to sing it here?'

'I'm not sure if I remember everything. I've only sang it twice yesterday.'

'Well, no pressure. Liam answered.

'On another note, I'm hungry.' Niall said. 'It is already 15.00 and we haven't had lunch yet.'

'True, Niall and I can go pick up some sandwiches at the bakery. What kind would you all like? When we all said what we wanted they left.

Niall and Liam were already gone for a few minutes when my phone rang. I looked at my phone and saw that it was Niall. When I answered.

L - 'Hey, you forgot something?'

N - 'No, Liam and I just thought something.'

L - 'About what?'

N - 'About Harry, we were thinking that if Harry was alone in the studio, he wouldn't hold back. Can you go out of the room with Zayn? Tell Harry, it's management who called and that you and Zayn have to speak to them. Before you go out of the room, tell him he can play the piano or something while he is alone. After that, go to the control room and push the record button.'

L - 'Yeah, good idea, I will tell Zayn.'

N - 'Now hoping it works.'

L - 'Jep, I will be text you when he stopped, so we you can come inside without interrupting.'

N - 'Okay, bye.'

L - 'Bye.'

'Hey Zayn,' I began. 'management just called and wants to speak to us. We can go downstairs to call them back.'

'What is it about?' Zayn asked while walking to the door.

'I will explain downstairs.' I spoke. 'Harry, if you want, you can practice the piano or something. Use whatever you want. The studio is soundproof so don't worry about bothering us while we call management.' I say before walking out of the studio with Zayn.

When we are in the hallway, I explain Niall's and Liam's plan. Now just hoping that the plan works.

'Let's go inside the control room, but stay low so he doesn't see us.' I say.
The moment we walk in, I press the record button.
Not long after, I can hear Harry playing the piano so I immediately start to film it on my phone so afterwards, if it's a good attempt, we can show Niall and Liam when they come back.

It is even better then I remember from last night. I really wonder who it is about.
After he's done playing, he takes a red notebook out of his backpack and he writes something down. Zayn and I decide it is enough for now so we text Niall and Liam, so they can come inside.

Harry's POV

I just played the song I wrote yesterday. I'm so glad nobody heard me. I really don't like my voice, but I like the song. Maybe Louis, Zayn, Liam or Niall could sing it.
While singing it, I got an idea for another poem or song. I don't know yet, but I really don't want to forget, so I take Rednot out of my backpack and write a few sentences.

If I could fly
I'd be comin' right back home to you
I think I might
Give up everything, just ask me to

I've got scars
Even though they can't always be seen
And pain gets hard
But now you're here and I don't feel a thing

I just finished writing when the door opens. Zayn and Louis come back inside.

'Hey Harry, that song you were playing is really good. Would you like to record it?' Zayn asked.
Harry was puzzled. 

'How did you hear it? You guys told me this studio was soundproof.'

'Yeah, it is but we went to into the control room behind that window for a minute. You were amazing.' Louis explained.

'Thanks but I'm not amazing. I would like to try but I really think it would sound better if one of you sang it'

'Nonsense!' Louis exclaimed. 'You have such a good voice; you just need to believe in yourself and everything will be alright.'
