Songs.

All I could think about was Paloma lying in a cold hospital bed, wires and drips attached to her arms and the faint, steady beat of the heart rate monitor.
I laid in bed staring into the darkness towards the ceiling, thinking, unable to sleep anymore with thoughts of Paloma and my family filling my head. Hannah seemed to snuggled further into the covers as I stared harder at the ceiling, trying to make out where the lights were in order to take my mind away from my family. That's the whole reason I came out here; to escape. But, now Hannah's in contact with them again and it's all come flooding back, as if I were there, not here. It's almost as though I can feel my world caving in on itself and the walls closing in around me, the air escaping my lungs and my lungs preventing me from taking anymore breaths. Until, I simply die.

I decide to get up and get dressed into whatever I can find. Then, I leave, leaving a little note on the door, telling Hannah when I'll be back.

The streets are quiet and fresh, like cold morning air in the country when no cars have been on the roads yet. The dark blue sky was beginning to lighten up and the streets glowed from the orange streetlights and the brightening sky. A car past every now and then and so did a person, walking casually like me, as if they were lost as well.

The studio lights were on when I approached the small, unimportant looking building. The air inside was warm and soothing and smelt like fresh coffee and, for once, it was silent. I walked into an empty room and began to write again, about feeling like I can't breathe, love is the only thing still keeping me alive.

I sat alone at the keyboard writing and playing and just enjoying the weird music I was making. I saw Jodi standing in the corner. I jumped away from the keyboard and stared at her.
"I've heard a lot about you recently, your family are worried." She smirked at me. I looked at her worriedly.
"You haven't told them I'm here? Oh, Jodi tell me you haven't!" I started to panic.
"No, Mika I haven't. Honestly, you worry way too much." She replied softly.
"Thank you." I sighed in relief.
"I didn't know you were here until now. Where's Hannah?"
"At the hotel." I replied quickly. available
"Oh. Anyway, what are you writing?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Just some songs for a new album. All seem to be about love at the moment." I said as if it were no big deal.
"So, do an album of different types of love songs?" She suggested.
"That might work..." I said sounding hopeful.
"C'mon then." She said pulling me back to the piano. "Let's see what we can do."

Hannah's PoV
I woke up and quickly had a shower. When I came out I noticed that Mika wasn't there so I quickly got dressed and went out to find Mika. (N/A--- she didn't see the note) I wandered the streets in the bright sunshine but didn't see him.

I saw people walking dogs and immediately thought of poor Mel stuck at home. I walked past various coffee shops and food shops and remembered how hungry I'd become.

I called Mika; no response. I left a message; no response. I texted him; no response.

Then I came to a small, plain looking building which had Mika's record company's name on the front of it. I entered it and was immediately hit by the strong scent of coffee. Then I heard Mika's voice and some laughter. I followed the noise and saw Mika and Jodi sitting at the piano laughing at each other.

"H-hi." I stammer nervously. The laughter stopped and the smiles faded from their faces. Mika then smiled and came over to me.
"What are you doing here?" He asked sounding happy.
"You weren't at the hotel." I mumbled quietly. He clearly noticed how timid I felt and came over and hugged me, Jodi watching me in the background.
"Do you want to hear what I've done so far?" He asked sounding excited.
"Sure." I replied, feeling more confident. He let go and pulled me over to a huge panel of buttons and flashing lights.
"This ones called the origin of love..." He said softly as he played it until the first chorus.
"I love this Mika." I half whisper as he stops the song.
"Good." He said smiling. Jodi remained quiet behind us.
Then he played the next few songs up to the chorus:
Emily, Elle Me Dit, celebrate, make you happy and Lola.

"Mika, I love those songs. It's nice to see you going back to normal." I said happily.
"I'm so glad you like them. Just don't tell my family I'm writing songs. They'd just hate me more." He said sounding slightly worried.
"I won't I promise." I said whilst hugging him.
"I love you so much, you've been so good to me." He mumbled into my head. I leant up on my tip toes and kissed him quickly on the lips.
"I love you too." I replied happily.
"We should go. I'll see you tomorrow Jodi!" Mika went over to Jodi to hug her goodbye.

I felt a pang at my heart as I remembered the affair. Horrible images of Mika and Jodi filled my head and I couldn't get rid of them.

By the time we'd eaten and we're back at the hotel the images had still not faded. He was only in his boxers now and I in my short PJ's. I climbed into bed and Mika's arms wrapped around me, pulling us closer.
"I love you Hannah." Mika mumbled as he was about to fall asleep.
"Love you too Mika. You and Jodi... It is definitely o-over?" I asked tiredly. I felt him sit up and stare at me.
"Yes!" He said, slightly offended. "Hannah why did you bring that up now?" He asked, still sitting up staring at me.
"Just - nothing." I mumbled and tried to snuggled further under the covers.
"Hannah." Mika started.
"Just seeing you and Jodi together." I mumbled, not wanting to talk.
"I promise you I'm not interested in her and if she's interested in me then she'll be disappointed as I only have eyes for you, love." He said, reassuringly and kissed my head before snuggling back in beside me and wrapping his arms around me.
I soon heard his soft snoring but I couldn't sleep that easily. But I know that he wouldn't lie to me so why can't I believe him?
