A/N: A BIRTHDAY UPDATE. This is unedited but happy birthday me.

Harry POV

I can't do this.

I litterally cannot do this.

First of all, I can't write songs which is a problem because only Eve is writing songs. All of Eve's songs are great and all but it's not fair to her to make her write an entire album by herself.

Second of all; Mari hired Niall to be our songwriter.

Niall.

As YinYang's Songwriter.

Does anyone else see the problem? Eve despises Niall. There is going to be so much tension and this will be horrible.

Eve has come such a long way since X-Factor confidence wise. She cried herself to sleep before, had anxiety attacks, had panic attacks, and she even lost her voice due to the anxiety and memories the songs have her on a couple of occasions. No one could comment on her appearance, not even the judges. She was so conscious of the way she looked, it hurt me to see her like that.

But slowly, Eve got better. She's at the point where she could hold a conversation with Niall, like right now.

Eve and Niall are sitting across from each other whole Eve and I are sitting right next to each other. The three of us are alone in this conference room, having to discuss the kind of songs we are looking for.

"We want something fun, and erm... music that you can, um dance to. But, uh we want something that umm" I stutter nervously. I'm nervous, not for me but for Eve. Today is the day that they have no choice but to put aside their differences and talk for the sake of music.

"So what we really want is to have sort of like a pop sound, but at the same time it's not meaningless." Eve interrupts, explains our style of music, which confuses seems Niall slightly.

"So Indie Pop?" He asks.

"Something like that." Eve shrugs monotonously.

"Our style's like VOCALOID in a way. We're our own independent sound but still with a bit of an upbeat thing right, like 'Just Be Friends'.?" I add to the conversation.

Eve smiles. I smile back at her, she's the one who showed me their music. That song used to be her favourite song, it's changed now though. I never knew why.

"Can you remember when you and I opened with that? Holy crap, that was so weird." Niall reminisced, sidetracking the conversation. I look at him strangely.

"Yeah that was crazy! They thought you were the lead singer." Eve responded, much to my surprise. I really thought she wouldn't be able to do this without crying. I underestimated her it seems.

"I got dragged to go get make up on. I knew that the stage life wasn't for me cause of that. It was still awesome though." Niall continues on. I roll my eyes because I always have to get make up on for our shows and I hate it. The lucky kid only has to do it once.

"Len pretended to be my boyfriend so I win the awesome competition." Eve added. My eyes widened at her statement. I didn't know about this.

"Oh, so it's a competition now? Cause I remember one time when you dressed me and the boys in drag and I got asked out." Niall smirks smugly. I had so many questions right now, I couldn't help it. They had so many experiences that I knew nothing about. I felt like they just clicked all over again, it was like I wasn't even here.

"And Zayn got kicked out of the washroom!" Eve laughed. She hasn't laughed like that in front of me. I can't explain how, but the laugh was different. It just didn't sit right with me.

"What about the play? I personally think that's a highlight of my life." Niall smiles geniunely. Eve told me about a play, just not that Niall was the boy that she kissed.

"A highlight? I think the best highlight was when you and I won the snowball game then played hide and seek." The two continued on and on with their 'awesome contest' and for once in my life it was like I didn't know Eve. There were so many things that I didn't know about and that I was clueless to. I hated this feeling.

"Yeah! And the time when-" Niall started, only to inturrupted by me. I just couldn't handle being ignored for this long.

"So are we done for today?" I demmanded.

"Yeah, let's go home Harry. I'm tired." I smile at Eve and intertwine our fingers again. Eve starts to draw circles on my hand, comforting me from my evident jealousy.

"I think I may have a song for you by tommorow." Niall announces.

"Thank you." Eve speaks monotonously once more, signalling that she is somewhat regretting her friendliness earlier. Her shield is back up. In a way, I'm glad that she regrets it. It makes me feel like a bad person for it though. However, I really do want her to be able to be friends with Niall. It'd be like acomplishing her fears.

I glance towards the clock, it's 9:00. Eve yawns, stretching her arms and kicking her legs from the table. We all stand up and walk towards the door. Then I realize that this week is my week to buy the groceries and the stores are closing in two hours. I hope that Eve has forgotten this trivial fact, as I really don't want her to go home on her own or with Niall because of the little green monster that's eating me away. I'll just get them tommorow. It's no big deal, We can go a day without mayo sandwiches and chips. No biggie.

We walk out of our conference room and out of the building without a mention of groceries. It is silent.

"Wait, it's your turn to buy groceries." Eve speaks, looking at me with tired eyes. I know I can't bring her with me, she's tired. But what if she gets hurt by herself? I don't want her to get hurt. Eve is really klutzy, even though she won't admit it, she's the biggest klutz. She could trip on a rock or pebble on the way home and fall into the way of a car, then she'd get amnesia or something because of it and she won't remember anything and it's all because I let her walk home alone. I can't do that, I really can't. Not at this time of night especially.

"I can take her home. I literally live a few doors down." Niall offers. There is the other fear. Niall. However, I know that he wouldn't physically hurt her on purpose no matter how much he could emotionally hurt her. It seems that he does want to make things better though, but he's still in love with her.

"Is that okay with you? It's fine with me." Eve says, keeping her guard up because of Niall. It's times like this where I forget how strong Eve actually is. She can handle Niall. I'd rather her go with Niall than alone, although I wish that I could just go with her.

"Yeah, okay." I agree, though as they walk away together- I start to regret it even more.

Jealousy seems to have a pretty rough grip on me.
