Chapter 24
Harry’s P.O.V
“Ed?!” I yelled, recognizing the man standing in front of me. “Hey mate!” he said, his cheeky smile plastered on his face. “Are you writing with us?” I asked, hoping he was. “Yeah! I’ve been here with the lads for a little bit now, I knew you’d turn up eventually, you can’t stay away!” he joked, nudging my shoulder as we began walking down the hallway in front of us. “Great! At least someone good will be here” I joked back, as we walked into the studio. Still laughing, I turned to the boys, who had stopped their conversations and turned to me, still standing in the doorway. “Harry!” They exclaimed in unison, jumping from their seats to greet me. “Hey lads, glad I was missed” I smiled as we all joined into a group hug. “Glad you finally decided to show up” Zayn punched my arm, laughing. Playfully rubbing my arm, I sat down on the couch in the middle of the roam, looking over any new lyrics or songs they had written with or without Ed. Ed sat down next to me, and Niall sat on my other side. Pointing to the paper closest to me, Niall picked it up, and handed it to me. “This one is my favorite” he smiled, his thick Irish accent still as present as ever. “We’re not really sure what to name it though, that’s the problem” Zayn said from his seat on the floor, glancing up at me. “And!” Louis yelled from the other room as he came to the room we were all in. “We still need to record your part Harry” he said, giving me some kind of scolding look that he couldn’t hold up, he was never serious. Reading the lyrics, I asked them to play what they had so far so I could hear it. I sang my parts as they came, completing the song. After it ended, I looked at the paper for what felt like ages before any ideas finally came to mind. “Hmmm” I hummed, the song still resonating in my head. “Does something like “Between Us” sound good?” I proposed, still unsure of my own ideas. “Ehhhh” Niall said from beside me, rubbing his chin. “Too obvious” Liam said from his spinny chair at the table. “We need something more.. subtle, not as repetitive, ya know?” Zayn said, sending me a questioning glance. “Something like...Hmmm..” I stopped again, closing my eyes in thought. “Something like.. “Spaces?”” I said, opening my eyes, knowing I had finally found the perfect title.
Louise’s P.O.V
“Thank you so much for helping me today” I said to Luke, grinning at him. “Yeah, it was fun, sorry we didn’t really find anything” He looked over to me, frowning. “No, it’s okay, like I said, maybe my terrific youtube videos will hit it off here soon” I chuckled, jokingly. “Yeah, about those, send me your user when you get home so I can watch them! I want to see your mad guitar skills!” He giggled, nudging me on the arm before placing his hand back on the steering wheel. I had been posting covers of me singing and playing guitar on youtube for about a year now, and I hadn’t gotten enough recognition to go anywhere, but I enjoyed it, so I continued to do it. Luke and I drove around town all day looking for stores or restaurants that were hiring, and the couple that we found weren’t willing to hire me with my short list of qualifications. When we finally gave up, we grabbed some late lunch, and Luke drove me home. When we pulled into my drive, Luke parked the car. “Hey, I had fun today” He said, turning towards me. “Me too Luke, we should do this again, I mean, if you ever get fired from your job or something” I joked, grabbing my jacket from his backseat. “Thanks Louise” He chuckled. Sitting back into my seat, I fidgeted with my jacket until I found my keys in the pocket. Searching for my house key, I continued looking down, until I felt Luke’s warm lips on my cheek. Somewhat surprised, I looked at Luke, as I felt my face flush with color. “What was that?” I asked him, still processing it. “Oh..” He looked down. “I just thought..” He mumbled, clearly upset at my reaction. “No, Luke, It’s fine. I was just surprised is all” I said, feeling my cheeks heat this time. Luke’s eyes still focused on his hands, obviously avoiding eye contact with me. Leaning across the car, I planted a kiss on Luke’s cheek, making his face light up. He didn’t make a move, as a wide smile spread across his face, lightening his features again. Chuckling, I sent Luke a smile before climbing out of his car, not questioning our interactions. “See you soon Louise!” He yelled giddily as he pulled out my drive. Walking into my house, I opened the door, and closed it behind me, leaning against it as it closed. Still smiling, I slid down the door until I hit the floor, and I brought my knees to my chest. I couldn’t wipe the smile off of my face, and as I shoved my head into my knees, I closed my eyes, and squealed, high off of Luke.
