Endlessly (Harry Styles)

Chapter 3

*Niall Horan*

                It was late in our hotel room in Toronto, Canada. We had a movie night with the lads and their girlfriends. Of course, like every time we have a movie night, we couldn't agree on one movie to watch so we were watching a bunch of them. All the afternoon. It was now around midnight. 

                Liam was asleep on the couch, cuddling with Danielle. Louis was fooling around with Eleanor while Zayn was texting Perrie, who couldn't join us tonight. Harry was the only one actually watching the movie. What about me? I was eating. Well, not exactly true. I was lying on the couch, scrolling through Twitter, while eating my third bag of sweets. But I had priorities. Food is the first one.

                I saw a comment on Twitter that I lazily read. (A/N: I made up the name)

@Abi_Steven @NiallOfficial Hi, One Direction! This girl did an AMAZING cover of 'Little Things'! I thought you might want to listen to it. She's worth it!

                Curious, I clicked on the link that went straight on YouTube. The video started. A cute girl, maybe seventeen was looking at the camera a bit confused. She had freckles on her nose and adorable hazel eyes.

"Is it working? Oh... Yeah it is..." She giggled. Her laugh was adorable.  "Hey guys, I'm Hazel Murray." She said with a beautiful  smile  . "Today I will do a cover of 'Little Things' by One Direction. I know I don't normally do covers of their songs and I stick to Ed Sheeran, but a girl asked me to do it. I actually didn't know about the song until two hours ago. The guitar was easy to learn, so I'm ready to show it to you guys! Thank for watching."

                She took her guitar, a gorgeous sunburst vintage Gibson acoustic guitar. As soon as she did the first chord, I knew that this girl would be good. If she learned that song in two hours...

                I froze when she started singing.

"Your hand fits in mine, like it's made just for me,
But bear this is mind it was meant to be.
And I'm just joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks.
And it all made sense to me."

                That voice. My heart skipped a beat. That voice was sent by the angels.

"I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs,
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine,
But I'll loved them endlessly."

                I was staring at my phone in total awe. How come that girl wasn't known internationally?

"And I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth.
But if I do, it's you,
Oh it's you they add up to you, I'm in love with you.
And all these little things."

                Hazel Murray, the girl in the video, continued playing guitar and singing as if she didn't how she could mess up somebody's mind just with her voice.

"You can't go to bed without a cup of tea,
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep.
And all these conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me."

"I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You've never want to know how much you weight.
You still have to squeeze in your jeans.
But you're perfect to me."

                Harry's attention was on my phone now. He asked me what I was listening to but I shushed him. I listened to the second verse, admiring how the girl could hit all the smallest subtleties of the notes in the song.
