I woke up to the shrill of my alarm. It was a Saturday morning, and I was up at 6am. Most teenagers would be asleep at this ungodly hour, but not me. I was up getting ready to go to my Job. Actually I wouldn't consider it a job seeing as I don't get paid. Aunt Gina made me clean one of the recording studios she managed. I was basically the janitor. Aunt Gina saw it as me repaying her for letting me stay at her house and 'making' he waste money on me. I guess I really didn't mind it. It's not like I had anything better to do, not like I had friends to hang out with. Yup, I was a loner. I guess I was the 'freak' of the school. I wouldn't really consider myslf a freak though. I was just an overly awkward shy girl.

I got out of bed and dragged myself into the shower. Even thought I didn't mind cleaning around the recording studio, 6am was too early for anyone to be up. I quickly showered, and got out. I slipped into some grey Batman sweats and a simple black v-neck. It's not like I'd be seeing anyone, the studio doesn't open till 8am. I left my waist long brown hair to dry in it's natrual waves. I grabbed a granola bar and headed towards my car. The only reason Aunt Gina bought me a car was because she got embarassed after one of her friends asked her why I was riding around town on a bicycle. I got in and turned my car on. 

"Good morning Ella." I greeted. Yes, I named my red Mini Cooper Ella. 

The studio wasn't to far from my house. It took me about five minutes to get there. 

Once I got into the studio I noticed that it had already been cleaned. I frowned. That was strange. I shrugged it off. Someone probably made Aunt Gina mad, so she made them clean up the studio. I sighed not really wanting to go back home. I'd rather not be there when Aunt Gina woke up. She was rather moody in the morning.

I decided to go into one of the recording studios. I smiled instantly feeling... I dont know what the feeling was, it was peaceful like. I felt at home. I spotted a guitar and imediately went to grab it. I couldn't help myself. 

No! Put the guitar down Aria! I scolded myself. I knew I shouldn't be touching any of the equipment. Aunt Gina had forbidden it. I hesataited for a bit. It's not like she'll know, I thought to myself before grabbing the guitar.

I sat myself on a stool and began strumming a few chords. I then started humming, and then started singing. It wasn't long till I was completely lost in the music. I finished the song. I smiled and moved to the piano runing my fingertips across the keys. I closed my eyes and started playing, letting my fingers move where they pleased. I smiled as I recognized the familiar melody of Look After You by The Fray. I started singing.

Niall's Pov

I yawned sleepily as the lads and I made our way into Ardent Recording Studios. We were going to be recording our new album here. Gina, the manager of this studio gave us a key to the place yesterday. She said we were welcome to use it any time. I was apalled at the fact that she was letting 5 teenage guys loose in a state of the art recording studio. 

"Keep up Niall!" demanded Liam. 

I responded with another yawn. Liam had the crazy idea of getting here early so that we wouldn't get mobbed. The location where we were to be recording was supposed to be a secret, but our fans found everything out. They were better than the F.B.I.

Liam let us into the studio, but stopped as soon as he realized that the door was unlocked.

"Why is the door unlocked?" he asked slowly. "Should I call Gina? Maybe I should call the police." he said.

"Wait! Be quiet!" demaned Louis.

I was about to ask why, when I heard someone singing along to a piano.

"Who is that?" asked Zayn.

We all shrugged.

"I know that song!" exclaimed Louis.

"What song is it?" I asked.

"It's called Look After You. It's by The Fray." he replied. "I'm gonna go meet this stranger who has obviously got a great taste in music."

Lou stated making his way towards one of the recording rooms. Liam didn't protest so we all fllowed Louis to the room. Once we got there, we saw a girl with long brown hair sitting at the piano with her eyes closed.

I watched mesmerized as her fingers danced across the piano, the lyrics flowing effortlessly out of her moutfrom her lips. When she finished, her eyes remained closed. Louis, Zayn, Liam and I burst into an applause. Harry was still half asleep.

The girl's eyes flew open and she gasped.

"I-Who-What are you-." she couldn't seem to form a proper sentance.

"Hello Love, I'm Louis and may I say your taste in music is just as wonderful as your voice." said Louis a little to cheery.

The girl stood, and slowly made her way towards us.

"I have to go." she said.

She quickly pushed past the lads and I. I watched as she ran down the hall and out of sight. I frowned as I realized I never got to know the name of the brown haired beauty.
