Since Harry left earlier tonight, I haven't been able to get off my mind what work he could've been doing, I swear as an interior designer you don't have to work this late, it's been gone past 12.

I've had a couple shots of vodka to bring my anxiety down so I can continue with my night without a mental breakdown, I'm not sure how to get it out of my head that I think he's lying to me.

I've had to try and push the thoughts to the back of my mind all night while performing but, for some reason every song I sing reminds me of him in some way.

I've got about 30 minutes until the end of my shift and I'm thinking that its going to be another disappearing act and then see him outside my apartment again.

I roll my eyes at the thought and start to strum on my guitar to play another song before I see a familiar pair of blue eyes watching me from a table.

Louis, he's sat on a table alone at the back of the room, his eyes meet mine and sends me a smile, I smile back and start to play my last song for the night.

Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

As I sing the song I start to think of Harry, again a song that somehow is making me think of him.

I'm starting to think my feelings for him have grown over the course of the day, which is absolutely insane to me, how have I let myself get so hooked on someone.

And someone that I haven't even known a month, I've never felt this much for someone so quick into knowing them.

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

I look up to meet eyes with Louis again who is singing along to the song, this guy really knows good music which I deeply appreciate.

I smile at him while he sways his head along to the tune and taking sips of his beer.

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

I make quick eye contact with the clock at the back of the room to see that I've got 15 minutes left of shift, so I think I'll make this my last song of the night before I head out.

I quickly scan the room to see if Harry has magically appeared anywhere but just to my luck he is no where to be seen, not surprised though.

I don't think I will see him for the rest of the night at this rate.
