Seven - Live While We're Young

For teaching One Direction the song, we decided to take straight to the stage. That way we could learn the choreography for it as they learned the song.

"Right, Niall, you're up first." Emily barked. "You know the song the best so you're going to perform the first night."

Niall nodded, making his way over to me as I sat at my pearl Grand with his guitar strapped around him. Harry also had his guitar strapped around him, waiting for his turn. "Song 2 You in 5...4...3...2..."

I counted us off and we began playing the song together. I was sat at my grand piano and he sat beside me on the bench with his guitar. It was a love song, so Cane wanted us to look "intimate" as he put it.

"I'll give you my song,
These words to you,
Sing you what I feel,
My soul is true.
I don't have the world,
Can't give it to you girl,
But all that I can do (All that I can do)
Is give this song 2 you"

I couldn't help the smile hearing Niall belt out the chorus with me. Our voices worked together to harmonize with the chords of his guitar and the notes I played on the piano.

Cane shouted for us to keep smiling, and I internally laughed as I kept singing, I wasn't faking the smile as I looked up into Niall's blue eyes. They were different from Louis' but still just as comforting. His smile was wide and his voice was full, projecting.

Once we finished, I squealed and gave Niall a give hug, still seated on the bench. "Niall that was amazing!"

"It's my favorite song on your album." He blushed a bit, hugging me back.

Emily didn't give us any time to socialize, barking orders again. "Harry, you're up." I took a quick sip of water from my pink water bottle before stretching my fingers, ready to do it all over again.

"Harry, you sit on the piano!" Cane called from the audience. "Make it look like you are both singing to someone else!"

Harry nodded, taking a sip of water from his plastic cup before climbing up to prop himself on the wooden piano. A music stand was brought out for Harry for the Guitar part sheet music and his vocals were written in. "5...4...3...2..."

Harry's voice mixed with mine differently than Niall's. His voice was smoother, coming from deep in his stomach like mine. We had similar inflection, balancing the chords and harmonizing more, taking risks more than Niall.

"Liam, I want you to stand up and walk around the piano. Sing to her like she's not singing back like it's just you singing your heart out to her." Cane called as Liam made his way over to me. Harry and Niall went to sit beside Cane in the audience, though Cane refused to sit.

Liam did just that, 'bringing the audience with him' as he sang to me. In this duet, I was the accompaniment, not him. He poured passion into the song, forcing me to match his intensity and riffs. It was difficult to keep up with the piano part and singing with him. It would definitely take some practice. Liam was dismissed and I had to face the man I had been avoiding all morning since catching him mid-song in warmups.

"Louis, you play the piano. Cassidy, I want you to do what Harry did, sit on the piano. But this time, you're singing to each other like with Niall." Cane ordered. He was now on-stage with us and was placing me exactly where he wanted me on the piano. The only problem was, there was no graceful way for me to climb onto it, I was too short. Cane bit the inside of his cheek as he thought for a moment about the predicament. Nothing would stop his vision.
