I spun around my room happily after waking up,listening to all the music I could possibly hear in one go as i positively procrastinated by cleaning my room which at most had a few socks lying on the floor.

I sighed as I looked around the clean and polished room,knowing I would have to eventually do something for the day and would have to be patient until 8.

I had already showered,straightened my hair (which was an entire arm workout) along with styling my hair,choosing an outfit to wear for the time being and time wasn't passing any faster than I wanted it to as I stared at my clock ; 11:45am. I mean only half of the house was awake,the others sound asleep.

I should probably still be asleep,I mean I would be if I didn't have a date that left me too excited to sleep. I had had around 4 hours of sleep that night and ended up with concealer and makeup covering the purple that was sure to appear within the day.

As I lied on my bed,contemplating what I would even do for the rest of the day a thought popped into my head,or rather something caught my eye.

My guitar,acoustic fender that sat in the corner of my room.

I walked over to the other side of my room as I picked it up,a smile on my face as I held it in the familiar position in my arms. I sat down at my desk,pulling up random lyrics I had jotted down as I mindlessly played harmonic chords.

I stared at my notes as I slowly began singing to myself,strumming few chords as I continued.

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven
I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye

I sung softly to myself whilst I played,something I hadn't done in a while. It bought me a sense of comfort whenever I was playing and I was surprised I hadn't done it in too long.

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

I smiled as I kept playing,I had always been a lover girl as some had called it,my music taste didn't stray far from it.

And I can still see it all (In my mind)
All of you, all of me (Intertwined)
I once believed love would be (Black and white)
But it's golden (Golden)
And I can still see it all
Back and forth from New York
I once believed love would be
But it's golden
Like daylight, like daylight
Like daylight, daylight

I repeated until I decided to end the song,so focused on the guitar in my hands that I hadn't noticed the accumulated crowd standing in my doorway.

As I looked up to see the boys standing in my doorway I smiled at them before they starting clapping,leaving me to giggle as everyone soon dispersed,leaving me and Schlatt in the room together.

He closed the door sitting on my bed as he smiled at me, "What else you got Ms.Notred?" He asked and I laughed as I shrugged,scrolling through my desktop until I found another set of lyrics.

Looking back down at my guitar as I begin to strum freely as everything came together,leaving me to sing the lyrics.

Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

I sung softly,noting how Jay's eyes fixated onto mine,leaving me with a downward smile on my face as I continued to sing.

These were only drafts,nothing I planned to release or make into a full song,just a side project that bought me comfort.

And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you

I continued singing,passionate love being conveyed throughout the entire song,the only thing I really wrote about was love and it was evident in every lyric.

I knew I could play guitar,I knew my singing voice was okay but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was right now.

I knew every lyric was about him,as I sung it to the oblivious man sat infront of me,watching me intently as I sung him a song that was unknowingly made for him.

By the time my thoughts had caught up to me I was already finishing the song that I had fixated on for months before.

It was only supposed to be a side project but it had bought the boys together,leaving me slightly embarrassed and nervous but nevertheless I knew it made me happy that they approved.

It had never been like me to be so nervous around a man I was more than comfortable with but as he came over to my desk,brought his hand up to my cheek and gave me a small peck to the lips,I was more than nervous.

The nerves quickly washed away as I kissed him back,leaving a small opening as he slipped his tongue in. Our touch melting together as his hand continued holding my cheek.

He pulled away after a while,a smile striking both of our faces.

"I'll see you at 8,doll." He whispered,leaving me with a small peck to my cheek.
