Chapter 12

Ellie's POV
I laughed as Mikey chucked the last object in the trolley. It was some mint body wash. Typical.


Food shopping would usually seem really boring, but the boys always found a way to make it fun.


I mean, Jack was chasing Mikey earlier. Brook was tickling Andy and Rye was doing weird stuff, dancing, and his trousers fell down...but did he care? No.


After scanning all the items at the till, Rye paid and we left the store before heading home to unpack.

I was quite excited to be at the studio. But I was happy I got to finally meet there manager. What was his name? Blair.


Apparently Blair used to be in a popular band called 'East 17', which is pretty cool.


Taking in the site of the buildings, I stepped inside following the boys. It was smaller than I thought it would be, but what can you expect, it's just a studio.


There was a small room downstairs, which was the recording studio, then there was a bigger hall upstairs with mirrored walls to practice I guess.


The boys decided they'd go upstairs and practice, since they weren't ready to record yet according to Blair.


When I walked up the stairs and followed Rye through the door, a tall, bald man with blue jeans and a plain black top greeted the boys, then me.


"Is this the famous Ellie!? Your all ive heard from the boys lately!" He exclaimed, laughing slightly. He seemed pretty friendly which was good enough for me.


I laughed along, nodding. "Its great to finally meet you!" I shook his hand, smiling as the boys went to set stuff up.


"Good to meet you too!" I replied, walking over go the mirror to check myself out. I looked fine for once.


I watched through the mirror as Blair walked up to me after placing a steel on a chair. There were about two chairs in the whole room, a few bags from the boys, then nothing.


Apparently they'd rented out the studio for a while. "Excited to see the boys practice?" He asked me, leaning against the mirror.


I looked from the boys, to Blair and nodded. They were really good and I was happy to be able to hear them for myself.


"Ive heard their music, and they're really talented. I don't understand how they sing like that!" I said honestly.


It was the truth. I didn't quite get how they were so good. After a good 10 minutes of running around and jumping over each other the studio, Blair yelled at the boys.


Obviously he wasn't really mad, he was just getting there attention. "Okay. 'Thin Walls', new single.I'd like to record it by the end of the month. If you keep practicing it, you can finish it and release it or whatever. So we need to focus now." He stated.


They all looked serious now, nodding as he spoke. They clearly looked up to Blair. Awh. He seemed like a good manager though, serious at times, but had that bit of banter in him.


I sat down, leaning against the mirror and watched boys discuss some stuff about the song for a few minutes.


"Okay, no background music, Jack your up first. Start whenever your ready. I will be taking mental notes. Even though I have the memory of a gold fish." He said, causing me to laugh a little at his comment.


Then we all went back serious. They looked at each other, then stood in a line and started singing. Jack first.


He was honestly so good. He sounded to different to the Britain's got talent video I watched of him the other day.


I feel as if your fading now,
Your hopes and dreams have all burned down,
There's no way you can start again.
I'll love you when you fall to the ground,
Lost, I'll come and you'll be found,
I wish that you would start over again.


Then Rye started singing, his voice was like an angel. It was so soft, but it really suited him. I watched as his mouth opened and closed, and his eyes were squinted shut.


You told me no,
When I said yes.
Didn't understand why you ever left.
Thought that i could read your mind,
Even when you said you were fine,
I wish that I could bring you back, again.


Then they all sang the chorus. And their voices sounded so good together. The way they harmonised was Amazon, and their voices all just worked well together.


But these thin walls were always in my way,
You walked by, day by day,
I couldn't help, I couldn't change a thing.
Looked as if, you would break,
Your thin walls, but what would it take,
To piece all the parts back together.
I wish that, we could be forever.
But thin walls break.


Then Brook started singing, and it was the sweetest thing ever. But the lyrics were so deep, it really made me think how they'd chosen the lyrics.


You smile but tears are steaming now,
But ive already turned around,
I wish that I could see your face again.
(Then Mikey sang the second half of the verse).
Should've listened to the tone in your voice,
But now I can't hear any noise,
I wish that we could start over again.
 
Mikey's voice was deeper than the others, but it worked really well, it wasn't too deep at all, but just right. Rye sang again, before they all joined in the chorus.


You told me no,
When I said yes.
Didn't understand why you ever left.
Thought that I could read your mind,
Even when you said you were fine,
I wish that I could bring you back, again.


But these thin walls were always in my way,
You walked by, day by day,
I couldn't help, I couldn't change a thing.
Looked as if, you would break,
Your thin walls, but what would it take,
To piece all the parts back together.
I wish that we could be forever.
But thin walls break.


The third verse was sung by Andy, and my mouth was wide open in awe as I watched him move his hands around as he sang. His eyes showed so much passion and love for his job, and I loved that. He was one of thee most talented human beings ever. His voice was high, but still husky.


Thin walls break.


My thin walls broke.
You walked away Day by day,
Didn't help, didn't change a thing.


I couldn't change a thing.


But after time I couldn't stay,


You should of stayed


I could not wait


Why didn't you wait? Why didn't you wait?


Jack sung the first verse again, before they all sang the chorus, Andy and Rye singing the last line. It was perfect. The two voices sounded incredible together and I couldn't get enough of it.


I feel as if you've faded now,
Your hopes and dreams have all burned down,
I wish that we could start again.
I loved you till you fell to the ground.
Lost, I came and you were found,
I wish that you would start over again.


But these in walls were always in my way,
You walked by, day by day,
I couldn't help, I couldn't change a thing.
Looked as if you would break,
You're thin walls, but what would it take,
To piece all the parts back together.
I wish that, we could be forever,
But thin walls break.


I honestly could of sat there for the rest of my life, just listening to their voices and taking in the lyrics. They were so damn talented, not just with singing, but songwriting.


After they'd sang the song, I was top shocked to speak up, so Blair gave them a few pointers and they sang it multiple times before it was completely perfect. Even though I thought it wads the first time round.


After the 1000th time singing the same song, they were really out of breath. I didn't really realise how much I was smiling until Brook pointed it out. "Like it do you?" He asked, waiting for an answer.


I nodded quickly. It was so good. "I didn't just like it, I loved it! You guys are actually so talented, I mean, I could listen all day, seriously! And the lyrics were just perfect!" I rambled on about how good they were for a few minutes, until they started laughing.


They all thanked me and embraced me into a big hug. "I heard you can sing?" Blair said, more like a question. I loomed at him, then at the boys. They must of mentioned it.


"I guess so, but I'm not the best." I replied, looking at the floor awkwardly. I was hoping they wouldn't ask me to sing, but after Blair insisted, the boys nagged me.


"Okay fine!" I said. "But not on my own." I added. I couldn't believe they were making me sing, but anyway, I was no way singing on my own!


"I'll sing with you." Andy offered, smiling a little. He was so cute. Not that I was supposed to say that....oops.


I nodded, and we chose a song after about 15 seconds. We decided on 'The Weight', by Shawn Mendes as we both loved that song.


Andy began singing, so I knew where to start.


Wannu go back forget that its over, paint it in black cuz you left me alone.
And I never knew that she was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her anymore. Nooo....


Then I began singing with Andy.


Tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay.
And you tell me that you needed time but you, pushed me awayyy.
Then when try to take me back my heavy heart just breaks,
No I can't lift the weight...


I didn't even realise Andy had stopped singing since I was so caught up with the song and the lyrics. God I lived that song with all my heart.


I didn't even realise I was singing at the top of my voice or moving my hands about until I'd finished like, the whole song.


Andy sand half of it with me, then stopped. When I'd finished, I noticed how quiet it really was. The boys weren't messing around.


They'd really been sitting there watching and listening the whole time. I blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed with myself. Then they stood up.


"Wow. That was so good!" Brook hugged me, smiling. "Wow kiddo, that was true talent." Rye said. Andy, Jack and Mikey said basically the same thing. Then Blair looked at me and spoke up.


"You have true potential. I really believe you can get somewhere with talent like that." He smiled. His words sunk into me, and I never really forgot what it could mean. True potential....really? :D
