Paul's P.O.V.

I went to the studio the next day. Most days, I'm always happy to work on more songs with my bandmates. But today, I'm not quite as chipper as I usually am. Being away from Kelly for five months is gonna be very hard. Anyway, I was the last one to show up for work. The lads were laughing up a storm with each other. They notice me after a minute.

"There you are, Macca!" Said John with a smile. "Hey." I said sadly. "Why the long face, mate?" John asked. "Is it the tour that's bringing you down?" Asked George. "I'm always looking forward to touring, it's the duration of the tour that's making me sad. Especially since I'll be away from Kelly." I said. "Oh yeah, your pretty bird." Said John. "How did she take the news?" Asked Ringo. "She was obviously heartbroken, but felt better after I promised to call her every day." I said. "I'm sure she was happy to hear you say that." George said.

We got to work after a few minutes of chatting. The song that we're about to sing is one that John and I recently wrote. It's called There's A Place.

There is a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue
And it's my mind
And there's no time when I'm alone

I think of you
And things you do
Go 'round my head
The things you said
Like "I love only you"

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so

There is a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue
And it's my mind
And there's no time when I'm alone

There's a place

Kelly's P.O.V.

While Paul was in the studio, I spent time with my friends Delilah and Tori. "So Paul is leaving for a tour next week, huh?" Asked Delilah. "Yeah, for five months." I said. "That's a long time!" Said Tori. "But he promised to call me every day." I said.

The three of us girls spent a few more hours with each other. Eventually, I was caught by surprise when I felt a peck on my cheek. I looked next to me and saw Paul. "Hello, princess." He said. "Hey, Paul. How was your day in the studio?" I asked. "So and so. We went over a few songs we did in the past." Said Paul. "Nice. I'd like to hear them sometime." I said. Paul nods and turns his attention to the girls.

"Hi, Paul. Kelly told us about your upcoming tour." Said Delilah. "Believe me, Delilah, I'm feeling mixed emotions about it." Paul said. "We heard. But we'll make sure to give Kelly the company she deserves while you're gone." Tori said. "Thank you, Tori." Said Paul.

The girls left a little while later. Paul takes my hand and intertwines his fingers with mine. "I know I've said this over and over, but I'm really gonna miss you while I'm away." He said. "Me too, Paulie." I said.

Paul and I entered my house and my mom greets us. "Hello, Paul." She said. "Hello, Mrs Valentine. How are you this fine afternoon?" Paul asked. "I'm just fine. But please, call me Laura." Said my mom. "As you wish, Laura." Said Paul. Connor enters the room a minute later. "Paul! I didn't know you were coming over!" He said. "Hi, Connor. How are things?" Paul asked. "Great. Kelly told us that you're gonna be away for five months." Said Connor. "That I am. I'm excited but a little sad at the same time." Said Paul. "I hear you. Five months is a long time." Connor said.

After a few minutes of talking to my family, Paul and I went up to my room. Paul notices my notebook on my bed. "What are you up to?" He asked. "I'm writing my first love song." I said. "Oh my gosh, honey, that's wonderful! Now that you're a singer, you have the right idea of writing songs!" Paul said excitedly. "Thanks, sweetie. I'm actually almost done with it." I said. "Can I hear it when you're finished?" Asked Paul. "Sure you can." I said.

I finished the remaining lyrics of my song three minutes later. I then took Paul to the basement of my house. There's a piano down there, so I sat down in front of it. "This piano was my dad's. He lent it to me, my mom, and Connor before he died." I said. "Ah. Do you miss him, love?" Paul asked. "Very much. I pay him a visit at the cemetery every now and then." I said.

Paul puts his arm around me. "I'm sure he'd be very proud of you for becoming a singer and songwriter." He said. "Do you really think so, Paul?" I asked. "I do, Kelly. Your dad is probably watching over you from heaven with a smile on his face every day." Said Paul. I smile then kissed Paul on his cheek. "I really needed to hear that. Thanks, baby." I said. "You're welcome, sweetheart. Oh, and whenever you're ready to play me your song, I'm all ears." Paul said. I nod and start warming myself up to play my song for Paul. I start hitting every piano key after I'm all warmed up.

From the way you smile to the way you look
You capture me unlike no other
From the first hello, yeah, that's all it took
And suddenly we had each other

And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

So, don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do, and I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
Promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah, we'll stay brand-new 'cause I'll love you
Over and over again

Over and over again

From the heat of night to the break of day
I'll keep you safe and hold you forever
And the sparks will fly, they will never fade
'Cause every day gets better and better

And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

So, don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do, yeah, I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
I promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah, we'll stay brand-new 'cause I'll love you
Over and over again

Over and over again

Boy, when I'm with you I lose track of time
When I'm without you you're stuck on my mind
Be all you need till the day that I die
I'll love you
Over and over again

So, don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No-one else will do, yeah, I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
Promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah, we'll stay brand-new 'cause I love you
Over and over again

Yeah, over and over again

Over and over again

Once I got done, I looked over at Paul and I saw that he had tears in his eyes. They were falling down like a waterfall. "That was the sweetest song I've ever heard!" He said as he choked up. In an instant, Paul trapped me into a hug so much tighter than ever before. I may have been getting a little squished, but I didn't mind. "How did I ever get so lucky to have you as a girlfriend?" Asked Paul through his tears. "I guess it was destiny that brought us together." I said. Paul cups my face in his hands and kisses my lips. After that, he smiles at me. "I love you so much." He said. "I love you too, Paulie." I said.

Paul left an hour later. Even though it was getting late, I got started on another song and pulled out my guitar to use for the music. It didn't take long for me to finish. Tomorrow, I'm going to the same studio Paul works at to record my two songs. I can't wait to see the look on Paul's face when he sees me in the same place he works at!


If anyone was wondering what the name of the song that Kelly sang for Paul was, it's called Over And Over Again by Nathan Sykes. The difference is that I changed girl to boy for the bridge. Tap the thumbnail to hear the song. ~ Amanda
