Louis POV

Anne finally feel asleep. She's been struggling to actually relax all day and only moments ago after taking half a sleeping pill, did she fall asleep next to Jessi on the back bed. I push her bangs off her face and she stirs only slightly, but doesn't wake. I slowly stand and pull a blanket over her before stepping from the room. Slowly shutting the door I look towards the group on the couch. Niall looks worn down, almost like he hasn't slept in days. But then again he hasn't. I sit down next to Harry and he squeezes my arm softly.

"She's finally asleep." I say and Niall nods running a hand through his hair before going back to writing some lyrics out. I look at what he's working on. Some lyrics catch my eyes.

Goodbyes are bittersweet
But it's not the end
I'll see your face again

I hum a melody that's been in my head for a few days. Niall sings the lyrics along to the melody and looks up.

"That works," He grumbles and Harry grabs the note book and adds a few lines.

"Try this," He states and Niall reads it before singing it softly. He passes it to Liam who adds a few lines before passing it on to me. We haven't do this in a while. The passing game with song writing. I look up and meet Niall's eyes.

"What was your motivation?" I ask and he looks at his hands before speaking.

"I wanted to give Anne a song. I didn't know how but I wanted to." He says and we all look to each other. I grab the song book from Harry and read the lyrics.

I know we'll be alright child
Just close your eyes and see
I'll be by your side
Any time you're needing me

I swallow and nod. It's almost as if her mum is talking to her through the song. Liam speaks finally.

"I figured it should be like that." He says and runs a hand over his arms. "I know it's not typical of the way we do it, but I wanted it written like that." He says and Harry takes the book and looks over it. Niall grabs his guitar and strums out chords and notes till we find one we like the best. Niall continues on his guitar and we sing little portions aloud till we figure out the song the best we can without producers here. I lean back on the couch and run my fingers over my compass tattoo. I think back to what Anne said about wanting a tattoo. I pull my phone out and search for the number of my artist in Chicago. We arrived a few hours ago, but we decided to stay in the bus for the night. Harry sees me searching for the number and raises an eyebrow.

"Not for me for Anne." I grumble as I find the number. I pull my phone to my ear and hear the ringing before a familiar voice answers it.

"Tomlinson back in the area are we? What shall it be this time? A lighthouse, a trident?" I can't help but roll my eyes.

"Actually it's for a friend. Are you open tomorrow?" I ask and I hear a chuckle.

"For a friend I can be ready early." A silence pierces the noise and a rustle of papers breaks through the phone. "I have a 2 pm. How big a piece will it be?" He asks and I rub at my face before standing and crawling into my bunk.

"All depends on how large she wants it. It's just a family member's hand writing." I state and hear a laugh in the background.

"This is for your little red head isn't it." He asks and I sigh.
