They Don't Know About Us [L.P]

Chapter 13

     After Harry finished his salad, he cleaned off his plate and came back to the bar and just stared at me. I look up at him from my phone and click it off. 

     "Hazza, may I help you?" He smirks, trying not to laugh. I smile at his attempt and chuckle. 

     "We could still use some Night Changes help!" He said, sounding a bit guilty for asking. I nod. 

      "Yeah, of course!" I said, happily. 

     "You sure? I know it's you're off day but, we've been struggling!" Harry admits. I shake it off. 

     "Anything for you guys!" I said with a smile. I take one more sip of my water and follow Harry into the back of the house. We walked into what seemed to be a laundry mat. He takes another turn and presses a red button and a sliding glass door opens to a little recording room. 

     I stood there in shock for a second before walking in more. Harry grabs a folder and pulls a stool under him and sits. I grab one and sit across from him. 

     "So, where are you confused at?" I ask him. His eyes fly through the paper before pointing to the spot. 

     "We have a lost note before the bridge."  He said. I nod, taking the paper, looking at the notes. I get up and walk to the piano and set it on the stand. 

     "Okay. Play the note." I said. He grabs the guitar as I sit on the cushion. I turn to him before letting my fingers do its piano magic. I sing the lyrics in my head as I hear Harry mumbling them quietly. We stop at the end of the first verse. 

     "Okay, it seems that the notes carry throughout the song and varies at the end of the chorus, am I right?" I ask him, pointing to where I was talking about. He nods. 

     "But when we get to the bridge, whatever that'll be, we get lost." I nod, understanding what he's talking about. 

     "You guys never did change the tempo, right?" Harry shook his head. 

     "No, we kept it." He answered. I move the first page of notes aside and look at where the blank bridge sat. 

     "Well, have you tried keeping the same key after the chorus here?" I point to the end of the chorus where the notes stop for no bridge. 

     "We've tried so many tones and kept it, just never works." I nod again. 

     "Well, perhaps you need lyrics for it to work!" I chuckle and Harry laughs. "But I'm also being serious! You'll need a bridge before you can find your tempo." I tell him. He nods. 

     "We don't even have verses three and four though either." He informs me. 

     "You've had all that studio time! What have you been doing?" I ask, chuckling a little. 

     "Well, working on your chorus and," he stops and stares at the wall. 

     "And what?" I ask. He turned to me, giving me a look. I shake my head, shaking my hand. "You know what, never mind!" I said. He laughed and we went back to the song.

(A few hours later) 

      We took a break on the song after a while. We were snacking on some popcorn and sharing stories back and forth, getting to know one another better. 

     "Well, I should probably get going," I said, looking at the time. Harry gets up, taking the bowl to the kitchen with him. 

     "Thanks for passing through. Today was fun!" He said. I nod, grabbing my jacket. 

     "It was, Haz!" I said, messing with him. He chuckled and we heard the door down by the foyer open.

     "Harold! Whose car is parked in front of the house?" I heard Louis ask. I look at Harry and I chuckle quietly and he does as well. Harry walks to the hall. 

     "Come see for yourself. You'll love the visit!" I rolled my eyes as I threw on my jacket. I heard the footsteps get close and Louis turned to me. 

     "Kayla!" He said in excitement. I smile at him. "Ello love!" He said, hugging me. The rest turn the corner and I greet them with hugs as well. 

     "What are you doing here?" Niall asked. 

     "Jesse left," I said. Zayn and Liam nod. 

     "This morning right?" Zayn asked me. I nod. 

     "So, she came down here for some company," Harry explained. I nod. 

     "Anytime, love! Come down any time! We love your presence!" Liam told me, hugging me again. I smile at them. I love these guys, man!

     "Thanks, guys!" I said. "Well, I'm off!" I said. I walk to the hall. "Harry, did I set my keys down somewhere?" I ask, searching my pockets and around me. The boys look around. Liam checks the table and Niall checks the bar top. Zayn walked to the living room to check as well. 

     "You took them into the studio I think," Harry said, walking back to the recording room. 

     "Were guys working on the song again?" Niall asked. I nod. "Please tell me he showed you the lost note!" He said. I laugh and nod again. 

     "Yes, he did. The reason you guys are lost is cause you need the lyrics to find your new tempo." Zayn nods and Liam smiles. 

     "You are good!" Liam said, making me laugh again. I rolled my eyes and turn, trying to blush. 

     "Here we are!" We heard Harry say from the back. We then heard a tumble, a crash, and a cymbal fall to the floor. Zayn jumps at the first crash and turns. We all stare at the opening door. 

     "You okay?" Niall asked in his Irish accent. Harry groaned and we all ran to the opening. When we got to the door, Harry removed his foot from a hole. 

     "What did you do?" Louis asked him as he walked in to help Harry. 

     "I tripped over Zayn's damn maracas." Zayn laughed at him and I chuckle. 

     "You and those maracas, I don't get it," Liam said. 

     "What is his deal with maracas?" I ask them. 

     "They're just so satisfying!" Zayn said. I rolled my eyes again and chuckled. Harry tossed me my keys and I caught them. Louis got him out of the room and I walked back to the hall. 

     "Thanks again, Harry!" He waved at me. 

     "Come again!" He said. I walked down the hall and Liam followed me out the door. 

     "It sucks, I missed ya!" He said. I chuckled. "How are you holding up?" He asked me. I shrug. 

     "I'm doing okay now. Better for sure. The day with Harry was quite interesting. I got my mind off Jesse. I still miss him obviously but, it still stings." Liam rubs my shoulder. 

     "Well, if you need anything, Kayla, give us a call or come on over. We're all here for you, you know that!" I nod and hug him tightly. 

     "Thank you so much!" I whisper in his ear. He kisses my cheek and I feel my face heat up. I release him and the wind blows my hair against my face. Thank god it did so he didn't see me blushing. "I'll talk to you later!" I told him. He waved to me before turning around, heading up the concrete stairs. 

     I got in the car and waited for him to go back into the house and I had a mini freak out. 

     After my freak out, I turned on the car and drove off.
