Harry's POV
Halfway through the movie Jake falls asleep on the floor. Mabel gets up and picks him up off of the floor soon taking him upstairs. I soon go up too to check on them because she hasnt come down yet. I walk up to the door and stop when I hear their conversation.
"Sing for me like you used to." Jake yawns.
She sighs. "What song do you want me to sing?"
"The killing tree," Jake says and she laughs softly.
"The hanging tree?" she says and I peak around the corner.
Shes sitting on the bed with Jake tucked in in the middle of the bed but her back is turned to me.
"Yeah." he says rubbing his eyes.
"The one dad would sing?" she asks him and he nods.
I pull out my phone and start recording them.
She moves his blond hair out of his eyes and starts singing.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Her voice stays soft and quiet as he yawns and rubs his eyes again.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Someone comes up behind me and stands next to me. Louis.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Liam and Niall come up the stairs and Louis motions for them to be quite. I just cant take my eyes off Mabel. She seems so.. I dont know? Passionate with that song.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Perrie and Zayn come up to and we all crowd around to listen.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Jake puts his hand on Mabels cheek and her voice becomes softer and she sniffles.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Jakes eyes start to close and his hand slowly drops. Mabels voice becomes softer and she sniffles.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree."
Mabel sits back and wipes her face with her sweater. I stop the recording and slip my phone into my pocket. She sniffles and stands up. She turns to us and freezes in her tracks when she sees us all. Her eyes are bloodshot and her nose is pink.
"Are you okay?" Louis whispers.
"Yeah. im fine." She says shaking her head.
"That was beatiful." Perrie whispers and Mabel shrugs.
"Thanks." Mabel says glancing back at Jake."We better leave or he's going to wake up."
They all go down the stairs leaving MAbel and I. She closes the door and turns to me.
"Are you okay?" I ask her and she nods.
"My dad used to sing that to Jake... He actually knew the guy that made the song so thats how he knew it so well." she says wiping her nose.
"Do you need a hug?" I ask her and she nods.
I wrap my arms around her and she leans her head on my chest. After a few minutes we pull away and go down the stairs.

The next morning.
I roll over expecting to see Jake but all I see is a pillow in my face. I sit up and look around the room but cant find him. I get up and walk down the hall to the room Mabel spent the night in. Pepper lays by her feet and Jake sits on the bed leaning over Mabel.
"Jake." I whisper. He looks up at me and I shake my head. "Dont wake her up."
"To late." Mabel yawns rolling over.
I sigh and walk to the bed. "Good morning."
"Morning." She says pulling Jake to her.
"MAbel." he laughs as she wraps her arms around him and doesnt let go.
He struggles for a bit until she lets go when he says "Uncle."
"So whats on the agenda for today?" I ask as she sits up.
"Well we have to feed little man here, get him dressed, and send him off to my mothers. Then we have all day to ourselves."
"We have to watch Harry potter." I say and she nods.
She gets up and Jake follows her out of the room. I look at Pepper who looks back at me. I get up and she follows me out of the room.
