*The Vamps Cover- Little things*

(Originally sang by One Direction)

This chapter is a filler so nothing interesting is happening. It's a chapter to basically make it 2 weeks into their 4 week break so I'm sorry if it is boring. The next chapter will be better.

-----------------------------------------------------

LOUIS' POV

It's been a week since Harry asked me what made me cut. He hasn't asked me much about self-harming and I'm glad. The more he asks me,the more I want to do it,not because he makes me do it but because hearing the words "self-harm" makes me remember the feeling and how much it makes me feel alive.

It's Monday and we have all decided that a well deserves lunch at Dozos is on the cards. We have all been rehearsing for 5 days straight,everyday for 6hours with only 2 half an hour breaks to eat. I don't know if that is healthy but we did it anyways to make sure we are fully prepared for the tour.

Everyone thinks it is easy being a pop boyband and that all we have to do is sing and perform but they are wrong, we have to write music, write lyrics, do promotional work and perform to thousands of people. It isn't easy, to be honest working in toys r us was so much easier but that isn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I want to perform and write songs.

We all met up at Dozos at 2PM for dinner. We love Dozos as it is a all you can eat diner and We all love our food, especially Niall. We have been in the restaurant for 10 minutes and Niall is already onto his second serving, I dare say he has spend his money wisely.

"You hungry there son" I Mockingly said to Niall , in which he replied sarcastically with "nah, just like to get my money's worth, these restaurants aren't cheap". I couldn't help but laugh at him and neither could the others.

We all finished our meal and decided to go up for a desert. I chose ice cream,jelly and a few marshmallows with chocolate. I don't know how I'm going to manage to eat them but all I can do it try.

"I'm full" I mumbled half way through desert. Everyone seemed to agree with me not long after. We made our way back to our cars and head to my place. We all agreed to go through "little things" as we didn't have time throughout the other rehearsals with Jason.

LIAM'S POV

It is 4pm and we are at louis and Harry's place rehearsing 'little things' in their home studio.

'I know you've never loved

the crinkles by your eyes,

When you smile.

You've never your stomach

Or your thighs,

The dimples in your back

At the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly."

We went through the song once and everyone pretty much nailed it. We decided to go through it a second time to make sure it wasn't just a one off thing.

HARRY'S POV

We are going through little things for the second time to make sure we have got it right. The last thing we want is ,in 2 weeks time on stage in front of thousands of people, us to forget the lyrics to the song.

" I know you've never loved

The sound of your voice on tape.

You never want to know

How much you weigh.

You still have to squeeze into your jeans,

But you're perfect to me."

I couldn't help but think of Louis while I sang. The song is about someone who is insecure and has little things they dislike about themselves and It made me think of Louis and his insecurities so as I sang my solo I looked at Louis.

LOUIS' POV

I watched as Harry sang his solo looking at me. I found it cute but I know he was just doing it to make himself look like he actually cared about my feelings and the way I feel about myself. If he thinks singing a song about insecurities is going to make me feel better about myself ,he is wrong. Singing "you're perfect to me" means nothing to me because if he knew I was gay and my crush was him,he'd freak out and more than likely move out of our shared house.

We successfully went through little things for the second time without any mistakes or voice breaks which was good. We decided that we sound do it again to make sure the third time was lucky them if we did correctly everyone was going home to do their own thing.

Zayn and Liam's harmony ended. This was an indication that it was my turn now. So I started singing...

" you can't go to bed

without a cup of tea

And maybe that's the reason

that you talk in your sleep.

And all those conversations

Are the secrets that I keep

Though it makes no sense to me"

I sang my part, looking at the floor in order to make no eye contact with any of the boys. I did it for the third time today without any voice breaks or any late startings which I was happy with because these past 5 days nearly every song we have rehearsed my voice seemed to break or I seemed to misjudge the timing of the music.

The song ended with is all singing the last line of the song. Once the song had ended we turned everything off in the recording studio and made out way back to the living room where we all said our goodbyes and Liam, Zayn and Niall went their separate ways home.

LIAM'S POV

It's 11Pm, Zayn and I are all snug on the couch watching Hawaii Five-0 series 3. We are onto the 3rd episode. I can't help but admire the friendship the two main cops have, they're like a married couple, it's amazing.

The episode finally finished so me and Zayn made our ways to bed. Turning off the bedroom light and climbing into bed. Pulling the duvet over us before cuddling into each other and drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Another day is over...
