                               Olivia's POV

I sat at my desk that night working late. It was just me and the janitor who was running the vacuum cleaner over the carpet. Everyone else was long gone by now except me. I've always been one to say late and finish my work rather than put it off.

My phone buzzes and I see Ed sent me a text. I glance at the time before checking his message. Midnight. I can't believe. In only a few hours I would be getting up again just to come back here and beat my head against a brick wall. I've been suffering with designer's block. Maybe it would be best if I went home now, and started fresh again the morning.

I click on Ed's text and read:

Ed:"Are you free for dinner on that Wednesday night while your in London?"

I sigh before putting on my coat and answering him.

Olivia:"No, I can only do Tuesday. Wednesday is all booked up for me. I'm sorry :/"

I step out of my office and head to the elevators. I tell the janitor goodnight right before I face the cold tundra outside.

I trudge my way to my apartment and revel in the warmth of the lobby of my apartment building. I take the elevator alone to the 3rd where my apartment is. As soon as I step out of the elevator I hear the gross moans of one of my neighbors on my floor. These walls are thin. To thin....

I finally get inside my apartment and collapse on my bed. I'm to exhausted to take a shower right now so I quickly change my clothes, slip into bed, and drift off to sleep dreaming about the day my Prince Charming would come.....

Harry's POV

I shot out of bed quickly and headed downstairs. This is it! She gave me the answer to my problems! Well maybe not her, but my distressed emotional state at least. You see, right now I'm torn between missing what was, not knowing what to do next, and knowing exactly where I want to be, but not how to get there. I'm still missing Charlotte or who I thought she was, but I can't go back to that. I won't allow myself to go there again. I can't see the future so I don't understand why this happened to me or if this heartbreak is going to lead me someplace great. And finally I know what I want. Seeing and hearing about that Olivia girl earlier tonight helped with that. I want to have someone I can depend on....someone I know for a fact is not using me for my fame or money or to further only themselves.That thought process has led me to this moment right here.

I scramble over to my music room where I keep my guitars and other equipment and quickly flick on the light. I find some paper and settle down with my guitar on my lap. As I begin to play the picture of Olivia pops into my brain......and so do the lyrics to the song I'm about to write....

"One day you'll come into my world and say it all

You say we'll be together even when you're lost

One day you'll say these words
I've thought but never said

You say we're better off together in our bed"

I'm loving the sound of this song so far, and how true the lyrics are to my current state of mind so I continue.....

"I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining

Come on, jump out at me
Come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?"

Suddenly the perfect tittle for this song comes to me so at the top I scribbled "Something Great".

That's what I have been looking so desperately for. Someone to hold and love. Someone who I can take care and who will take care of me. So far my life has been a series of heartbreaks because I didn't know what I was really looking for, and needed. I have been dealing the the wrong girls this whole time.....and the scariest part is it didn't even hit me until just now at 3:00 A.M.

I've been chasing all the wrong people, and things. I've been dealing with snobby, bitchy woman who want nothing involved more than my money and fame.

Well no more! I'm changing my ways. I need a new type. So far the type I've been using hasn't exactly worked out for me. I need to trust Ed's judgement. If he says this girl would be good for me than there is no reason not to give it a try. I mean, why not? You have to rescue a lot of damsels in distress before you can meet your princess. Right?
