I Won't Give Up ~ Michael Clifford

Bree;

After we had dinner later that night, I had got Declan into the bath and did our nightly routine. I tucked him into bed, gave him his stuffed teddy bear that Michael gave him and then read him a story before he fell asleep.

I got out of the bed quietly and went downstairs to get some water, I went to the living room where Harry was and sat down on the love seat.

"Do you have any pain killers? I have a headache." I asked, he looked up at me from his laptop and nodded his head before disappearing down the hall.

He came back with two tylenols and passed them to me, I thanked him and put the two pills in my mouth, downing them with my water.

"What're you doing?" I ask curiously and he waves me over, I place my glass on the coffee table and go sit next to him, looking at the screen.

"I'm working on some new songs, plus going back and forth from writing and twitter." He smiled and looked at me, "You're trending on twitter."

"What? No, I'm not." I protested and he went to the twitter page and he was right, I was trending #1 with the hashtag "Brees In London". I sighed and put my face in my hands and groaned.

"They're going to find out eventually.." Harry said, placing his laptop beside him, "You know, about you being here. Staying here with me and that's going to look bad in the public eye and in Mikey's point of view."

I frowned, "I just, I didn't know who else to call. I would have asked Lou but that would look bad as well. Why can't people understand that guys and girls can be friends without having feelings for each other?" Harry chuckled at this and I looked at him.

"The reason why they think we can't is because sometimes they're right but why it's bad for us is because the paps, mine and Michael's fans, they're going to think of the worst because I was with Sam and now I'm letting you stay here, which is but isn't bad at all, but it's just going to look completely wrong. If we're caught seen together, the paps are definitely going to get paid big to make up some bullshit story."

I nodded and it got silent, Harry and I just sitting there not saying a word. I sat up and took a drink of my water and went to the kitchen, rinsing my cup out.

"Can I have a banana?" I ask and Harry laughs, "What?"

"You're basically living here, you don't have to ask. Just grab and eat whatever." I laughed and grabbed a banana.

"I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow, if you want to tag along?" Harry asks and I raise a brow.

"Weren't you just saying that the paparazzi will get paid big if we're caught together?" I state and he furrows his eye brows.

"I was just saying that, wasn't I?" I burst into laughter and he joins my laughter. "Well you're free to just stay here while I go tomorrow then, just relax and whatnot "

I shrug, finishing off my banana and tossing the peeling into the trash. I go back into the living room after I noticed what time it was, hugging Harry and telling him good night then heading upstairs to go lay down.

Harry;

After Bree went to bed, I went into my room with my laptop and grabbed my guitar, I started strumming random chords trying to figure out which ones will go best with the song I'm working on.

I groaned and decided to call Louis to see if he could come over and help me out.

"Cause love is war, and war is love" I stopped singing as Louis plays out the last few notes of the piano.

"That was so good! This is definitely going to be a hit." Louis smiles and I thank him.
