Chapter 37

~HAYLEY'S POV~
"You ready Hayley? We need you to sing us a couple of lines from a song you know well so we can get your tempo correct."

I nod and turn to the microphone in front of me. I take a deep breathe and sing the chorus of stitches;

"You watch me bleed until until I can't You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches"

"That's excellent Hayley," the man behind the large glass window smiles as he speaks into a microphone and his words coming into the room as I remove my headphones.

"Thanks," I smile brightly.

"Ok, so we need Troye to come in now then so we can start to practice the actual song."

I smile as I watch Troye stand up from where he was sitting on the sofa behind Darrel (that was the man's name) and enter the booth, putting on the pair of headphones balanced carefully on the microphone.

I watch Darrel move a few switches before the familiar tune of Troye's song comes on.

"We have had one week so far on this guys," I hear Darrel's voice quickly, "Lets try to get this time perfect."

Troye takes a deep breathe before starting his singing,

Bold: Troye
Italics: Hayley
Both: both

I'm fed up of being treated so differently,
In the day let out to come out to play,
But in the darkness told to be hidden away,
But I guess that is how you want me to be,
And i'll be falling on my knees.

Shadow, that's what you are,
Coming out to play in the morning sun,
Shadow, that's who we are,
Being told where to go,
But babe this is our life,
And we want to make this last,
So do us all a favour,
And release me from your Shadow.

I'm fed up of being treated so differently,
Curling up in the darkness,
Bouncing off walls in a lighted room,
But one thing is for sure my love,
We will never be forced to do this agian.

Shadow, that's what you are,
Coming out to play in the morning sun,
Shadow, that's who we are,
Being told where to go,
But babe this is our life,
And we want to make this last,
So do us all a favour,
And release me from your Shadow.

Don't force me again,
Never knew what I could take.
Don't force me again,
Never knew what you would do.
Don't force me aaaggggaaaaiiiinnn...

Shadow, that's what you are,
Coming out to play in the morning sun,
Shadow, that's who we are,
Being told where to go,
But babe this is our life,
And we want to make this last,
So do us all a favour,
And release me from your Shadow.

We stop and look at Darrel who  was smiling brightly, "Perfect," he said. "Now we just have to record the music video!"

I looked at Troye before jumping into his arms, "WE DID IT!" I exclaim.

"We sure did," Troye says, smirking as I pull away, "Come on, lets go back to the hotel and swim.

We get back and find out that Tyler, Zoe, Alfie, Joe and Caspar are already out there swimming in the pool. I go into the room I share with Zoe and Alfie and put on my bikini, clothes on top and race down, towel in my arms.

I run and see all five of them in the pool. Troye appears behind me, exhausted, "Why did you run?!" He exclaims.

I shrug before I pass Troye my towel and run out before leaping into the pool from a distance and surprising the six of them.

"OH MY GOD HAYLEY!" Alfie laughs, looking at me, "YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!"

I giggle and hug him. I turn around and in the background see a figure. It was dark and then looked as if it was moving towards us.

I trended water, watching as this figure walk near us. Then the face was clear.

Dave.
