Tell Me A Lie -Larry Stylinson

Safe & Sound

The lights dimmed, and a soft glow was set on me as i hovered so far above the crowd.

Tears welled in my eyes as i thought of the next song.

I tilted my head and spoke into the mic clipped onto my jacket.

"This next song is the song i used to sing to myself every night Louis and i got into a fight, and he left for-" i broke off, rubbing my forehead to try and block the rush of emotions, "for God knows how long, spending his time with Eleanor, because she can calm in ways i just cant. I used to sing this song when i felt used and worthless when he would come back and sleep with me, smelling like her perfume." i broke off again, but forced myself to keep going, "I used to sing this song when i felt left out and abandoned, seeing pictures and videos of the boys spending entire days with her, leaving me to my own lonely devices. I sang it when Management announced that Elounor would become 'engaged', even though they were only supposed to date at first. I sang it while i cried over the fact that i was never enough. That i could never give what everyone wanted and needed, even though i was already giving my all. I sang this song the day i left Louis, the night i tried to kill myself-" deep breaths Harry, "- the day i wasnt invited to my own mother's marriage, because i was too scared to come back out from hiding, the day i found out Elounor's wedding day was set for tomorrow, the day i found out my own sister is engaged, the day i found out Zerrie is talking about marriage, the day Payzer broke up, the day Niall broke his leg-" i had to stop again, "- I sang it for everything i missed. I sang it for being such a terrible person, friend, boyfriend, husband, son, and brother. And i sang it to myself, to keep myself strong. Sane."

The pale white light opened up a bit, and the other performers flew higher, Taylor taking the lead.

I floated toward the head of the stage, and listened to the intro of the song.

"I remember tears streaming down your face.

When I said, I'll never let you go.

When all those shadows almost killed your light.

I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone.

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight."

The night i proposed to Louis, tears of joy streamed down his cheeks. That was the night he almost gave up his contract to be with me. The weight of the world; all the bad things that went wrong, almost crushed us. He begged me not to leave his side ever again. But by now, all of our memories mean nothing anymore. And my heart wasnt safe and sound, like he told me hed keep it.

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound."

Louis came home to me the day he and Eleanor became "engaged" in a pile of tears. I told to close his eyes and focus on me, our love, and our memories. I promised i would never leave him.That we would have the forever after; the eternity, that we always wanted. I promised i wouldnt let anyone hurt him, and that, in the morning, everything would be alright again. I promised our love would always be safe and sound.

"Don't you dare look out your window darling

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone."

One night, we were staying at his house, and his father came home, demanding to know why Louis never gave him anything when he became famous. Jay sent us to Louis' room and even behind the closed door, we could hear the war raging through the thin walls. Georgia, Lottie, and Fizzy were trying to get their father to leave, Daisy and Pheobe were wailing and sobbing in their room, confused as to why the "strange man" was trying to hurt their brother and mother, and Jay was screaming at him and throwing things. Louis kept trying to see what was happening, but i kkept him grounded in his bed, singing a lullaby softly into his ears, and, even when the music of my voice faded into the air, i kept him in my arms, safe and sound.

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going downYou'll be alrightNo one can hurt you nowCome morning lightYou and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyesYou'll be alrightCome morning light,You and I'll be safe and sound...Ooooooh, OooohOoooh,Ooooooh, OooohOoooh,Ooooooh, OooohOoooh,Ooooooh, OooohOoooh,Ooooooh, OoooOoooh,Ooooooh, OooohOoooh..."

I turned my head down, tears racing from my eyes, down my cheeks, and finally dripping down my chin and slinding down my neck and disappearing into the collar of my shirt.

I raised my hand to wipe some of the liquid salt away, but it was a useless effort, because for every track wiped away, another took its place.

It was a sad pattern.

I looked out into the crowd, baring my tear stained face to all across the nation.

"Not everything will always be safe and sound..."
