Harry's POV

As we got back to the house Eliza said that she needed to get something from her room so i decided to talk to mum in the kitchen.

"mum?"

"hmmm?"

"i got you some baked goods from Barbaras"

She turns around with a big grin on her face.

"thank you my sweet boy"

Just as i'm about to ask her why Eliza is here we get interupted by Eliza herself.

"soooo who is ready to listen to my album?"

Mum pauses what she's doing and walks over to Eliza before she starts calling out for Gemma.
Gemma comes down the stairs in a flash, i swear she can be a track star if she wanted to.

"i am"

They walk into the livingroom not even thinking about me, i sigh before i make my way to the livingroom and sitting down on side of the couch watching Gemma and Eliza trying to connect Eliza's phone to the speakers.

Mum is sitting in Robins old armchair smiling at the two them, i take out my phone to scroll through insta and wait for Eliza to play the album.

"So the first song of the album is called Text book, there are 15 songs well 14 songs and a interlude on this album so we are going to sit here for about an hour so who's ready?"

Gemma raises her hand faster than she did when i asked the same thing about my album, mum also raises her hand but not as fast as Gemma.

Eliza looks at me and raises her eyebrow
"ready?" she asks

"sure"

She smiles and press play on her phone and 1 minute into the song i'm already hooked on how amazing her voice is.

When the song is over Eliza looked over us all and gave a shy smile, Gemma screams and runs over to hug Eliza, mum does the same thing and the start talking about the first song of the album.

Gemma turns to me and i already know what she's going to ask.

"so what did you think of the album Harry?"

"i don't really know it's not really my kind of music but i guess it's okay"

I can not admit that i actually liked the song infront of Eliza i just couldn't, Eliza just looked at me with sadness in her eyes before she turned around and did something to the speakers before turning around with a fake smile.

"ok, so the next song if the name of the album 'Blue Banisters' and yeah"

The routine of hugging her and asking her stuff about the song became super annoying beacuse the never really got the same reaction when i showed them my albums.

When there was only two songs left Gemma turned to me again and asked me the same question she did before.

"i just don't really like it, like no offence but this is probably one of your worst albums, and i really don't like the song 'Living Legend' like no, just a no from me"

Both Gemma and mum looked at me in shock before turning to Eliza and when i did the same thing i instantly regretted the things that i said, she wiped the tears that fell before turning to Gemma and handed her, her phone.

"i will be upstairs"

She turned around and walked out of the livingroom, Gemma looked at me before placing Eliza's phone on the speaker and walking over to me and slappin me hard in the face, i looked back at Gemma in shock holding my cheek in my hand and seeing that Gemma also had tears in her eyes.

I looked at mum and seeing that she also had tears in her eyes before looking down in her lap and shaking her head.

I was so confused but when Gemma spoke up again i realised that i fucked up big time.

"some songs on this album was dedicated to her parents who died in a car crash a couple months ago and the song 'Living Legend' is about her dad beacuse she looked up to him as a living legend and just so you know, i'm really dissapointed in you right now beacuse i know that you liked the songs but just didn't want to admit it beacuse of your to big of a ego"

After her rant she looked at mom and said the she is going to sleep with Eliza tonight before walking out the livingroom and up the stairs.

I turned to mum and she was still looking down in her lap

"mum?"

"no Harry"

She finally looked at me but with disapointment in her eyes before standing up and starts walking out of the livingroom like the others did but she stops on her way out with her back still turned to me.

"i raised you better than this Harry"

After that she walked up the stairs and probably making her way to Eliza's room.

I took out my phone and called someone who i haven't talked to in a long time.

"Hello?"

"Hey Niall, how are you?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

Lana's parents aren't dead in real life and i don't really know the meaning behind the songs but i just came with the idea of making some songs dedicated to her parents in this book.

I made myself sad writing this chapter beacuse i think of my dad as a living legend.
