You guys are about to be so

mad at me...

*Marcel's Pov*

I woke up to the faint sound of singing. I opened my heavy eyes slowly and looked over to see Zayn's sleeping body.

Was Harry having a personal concert in the next room or...?

Still groggy from my few hours of sleep I struggled to get out of bed. My feet drug on the smooth carpet as I grabbed my glasses off of the nightstand.

I noticed my window was slightly cracked and went to close it when I heard the soft strums of a guitar coming from outside. I opened the window wider and leaned on the sill to see what was going on.

"Lo-Louis?" I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing properly.

He looked stunning in the moonlight. His fringe swept perfectly across his forehead, and he wore slim black sweatpants and a white jumper that I bought him.

He looked up from the ground and gave me a soft smile, his delicate fingers still strumming.

"Here I stand head in hand

Turn my face to the wall

If he's gone I can't go on

Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare

Each and every day

I can see them laugh at me

And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your lo-"

I cut him off,"How dare you sing the Beatles to me right now Louis. You know I love that song, but did you really think that would be the one to win me back?"

I couldn't help but feel like Juliet, and my Romeo was staring up at me trying to rekindle our tragic love.

Although...we all know how that ended.

He laughed loudly,"I knew you would say that...So there is a chance I can win you back?" he smirked. I looked back over to Zayn, who was thankfully the deepest sleeper I have ever met, before replying.

"What? N-no, I just meant-"

"Well then let me try another." he began strumming a completely different tune. One that I recognized immediately to be one that Ed played that night.

There were tears streaming down his face as he sang,

"Another day another life

Passes by just like mine

It's not complicated

Another mind

Another soul

Another body to grow old

It's not complicated

Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

Hush now

Close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

Another tear
