Astrid's P.o.v

It's been a week since me and Elijah visited Emily and Ryan, Taylor told us is that we might not see them for two more weeks since she's on tour. Which sucks but atleast we get to watch Taylor's concerts. Taylor mentioned that Harry might be attending with me and Elijah.

"So how's things been with Harry?" I ask Taylor, "They've been good." Taylor replies while petting Olivia, "Harry called me and said that he'd be able to come to the concerts." Taylor added, "That's good. You can see your boyfriend." I tease her, "He's not my boyfriend." Taylor replies, "Not yet." I almost whisper, but she hears it causing Elijah to give me a smirk.

We go to the home studio, and I begin recording another demo with Elijah, as Taylor watches on. Elijah begins strumming the guitar as I begin singing a song titled "Everlasting Melodies".

Verse 1:
I thought we were a love story, a heavenly symphony,
But our melody turned into a tragedy.
You promised me forever, a love that would never fade,
But now all that remains are memories betrayed.

Pre-Chorus:
Our song played softly in the summer breeze,
But now it's shattered pieces that no one sees.
I'm left here, lost in this haunting refrain,
Searching for answers, drowning in the rain.

Chorus:
Oh, these everlasting melodies,
Twisting and turning, playing on repeat.
The highs and lows, the joy and the pain,
Love's unpredictable, driving me insane.
But I'll keep singing, holding onto hope,
Through heartaches and heartbreaks, I won't let go.

Verse 2:
We danced under starlit skies, intertwined in rhymes,
But the tune grew faint, lost in the sands of time.
Promises whispered like lyrics in my ear,
But now I'm caught in silence, consumed by fear.

Pre-Chorus:
I'm longing for the rhythm we used to know,
But now we're dancing alone in the undertow.
The melody we wrote, forever incomplete,
A symphony we couldn't save, a bitter defeat.

Chorus:
Oh, these everlasting melodies,
Twisting and turning, playing on repeat.
The highs and lows, the joy and the pain,
Love's unpredictable, driving me insane.
But I'll keep singing, holding onto hope,
Through heartaches and heartbreaks, I won't let go.

Bridge:
I strum my guitar, trying to fix what's torn,
Hoping that these words will be reborn.
But the harmonies clash, out of sync, out of tune,
Our love story falling apart, too soon.

Chorus:
Oh, these everlasting melodies,
Twisting and turning, playing on repeat.
The highs and lows, the joy and the pain,
Love's unpredictable, driving me insane.
But I'll keep singing, holding onto hope,
Through heartaches and heartbreaks, I won't let go.

Outro:
In this ballad of love's troubled symphony,
I'll find my strength, rise above the cacophony.
With every note, every lyric, every line,
I'll mend my broken heart, rewrite the divine.

**Everlasting Melodies** harmonize with my soul,
Love's journey, an unraveling story I'll always know.

After I finished singing the Outro, I listened back to the demo. "That was great. I'm definitely going to see if I can convince Scott to sign you when you turn 12. Until then, just keep recording demos and writing songs with Elijah." Taylor said to me and Elijah.

"You guys might be able to help me with my album if you want to." Taylor says to us, "We would love to, right Elijah?" I ask him, "Right." He simply replied.
