Music Saves Lives

Chapter Fifty-Five

We’ve been engaged for a month and tomorrow is our first year anniversary. It may be weird to think that we’re engaged before our relationship has even hit one year, but I’ve seen people get married six months after they met and they make it work.

Niall and I have been through so much, we can make it work. The boy is my rock. We need each other and no matter how far we are apart, we know we can call and the other would be there and pick up the phone. I’ve been back and forth from LA and London all month, because of recording and planning the new video for our new single off the new album. (a/n: Still Into You – Paramore)

I’m excited about this video. We’re filming it in London, actually at my home. It’s kind of a compilation of a lot of Niall and my memories and photos. Niall won’t be in the video, except for pictures. Of course the song is mostly about him, it had some lyrics stretch to make it not as directed towards him. The director of the video wanted to get more personal with me and get the message of the video off strong.

Today, Niall would be behind the camera watching as the band and I parade around our house. This morning, Niall and I had to get up early for them to have cleaners come in and then set design. They moved things out to clear the rooms of furniture mostly, giving room for the crew and room for the instruments.

The band showed up and we went through costume and makeup. My part of the video would be me going through my day, and dancing throughout the house like a love struck teen. The band would be playing their instruments in each room I was to be going through.

The first room we filmed in was the bedroom, mostly me going into the closet and dancing around in Niall’s hats and making faces in the mirror. I felt silly and giddy. I would go into the bathroom to change my pajamas and come out in a different outfit. The outfit was colorful and tomboyish, but cute. I checked my makeup in the mirror as I danced and lip sang along to the music.

Can't count the years on one hand

That we've been together

I need the other one to hold you

Make you feel, make you feel better

It's not a walk in the park

To love each other

But when our fingers interlock,

Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

'Cause after all this time I'm still into you

We stopped there and set up in the hall and put the band in the music room. I winked at Niall as they were setting, up telling him I picked to film some in this room.

I continued the song from the bedroom door, walking toward the camera and into the music room, jumping onto the couch and pretending to play an air guitar.

I should be over all the butterflies

But I'm into you (I'm into you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let 'em wonder how we got this far

'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

Jumping off the couch and walking back out of the room, the camera followed me down the stairs and we stopped again to set the band up in the kitchen where the table used to be. We continued again with me dancing around the island and singing, leaning my elbows on it and putting my head on my fists as if I were daydreaming.
