"Everly Pierce makes headlines from her hilarious appearance on SNL." Taylor read over the Facetime call. "Everly Pierce confirms her friendship with Taylor Swift, only complimenting her in an interview on the Late Late Show and SNL."

"Oh, here's one. 'Everly Pierce makes headlines as she confirms a feud between her, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner.'" I read, sighing as I sat on Harry's bed. "'Everly Pierce goes viral for her dramatic reactions to the cast's interview questions.' Dramatic? I didn't say anything."

"Oh, but this one is good. 'Everly Pierce pokes fun at the rumors in a hilarious SNL segment.'' Everly Pierce reacts to the boring questions with elegance.'" She responded. I sighed, scrolling through my phone some more. "'Everly Pierce is the first guest on Sofia Diamond's new talk show, For the Girls.'" I smiled at her recognition.

"'Everly Pierce was the best replacement.'"

"These edits of you are really good too. There are many of you and Harry, you've got the badass ones. I think you are right on track." I smiled at her as she sent a few of the videos over to me. "How's London? You just landed, right?"

"Yes, it's beautiful already. Although it's midnight now, I feel like it's so early." I looked around Harry's bedroom, smiling at how different it was than the one in LA.

"Well, it's beautiful. Especially in the winter, you'll love it. Where's Harry now?"

"He's out grabbing food for us. He told me to make myself at home." I slid off my boots, revealing my tights. "And his house is huge here. He has a big piano in his living room."

"Well, great. I can show you some of these songs." I smiled as she propped me up next to her piano. "So this one is called, 'You're Losing Me'."

"Oh, this will be good," I assured her. She began playing some keys on the piano.

You say, "I don't understand, " and I say, "I know you don't"
We thought a cure would come through in time, now I fear it won't
Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light
Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time

I smiled at how raw the lyrics were. I could already feel her emotions through the screen.

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I'm getting tired even for a Phoenix
Always risin' from the ashes
Mendin' all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow

Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore
For you
'Cause you're losin' me

My eyes widened at the chorus. It was so breathtaking.

Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes
How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick
My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick

My heart twisted. Her lyrics were crafted so beautifully.

And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now, you're runnin' down the hallway
And you know what they all say
You don't know what you got until it's gone

The chorus repeated, but her keys were stepped on.

"Meredith!" Taylor scolded her cat, making me laugh. "Ugh, I'll have to show you them when you come back. Also, did you ever figure out why Ryan didn't show up to the gift exchange with us?"
