< Song for the chapter is Wrecking Ball by Jasmine Thompson. It is attached to this chapter. I will let you know when to start playing it :) >

-Harry's POV-

Ava takes a deep breath before placing her hands down on the piano. Once again, as before, she relaxes as soon as her fingers touch the keys.

>Start Song Now<

Her fingers effortlessly move across the intrument as if it were an extension of herself. She closes her eyes and begins singing.

We clawed, we chanined our hearts in vain. We jumped, never asking why.

We kissed, I fell under your spell. A love no one could deny.

Don't you every say I just walked away, I will always love you.

I can't live a lie, running for my life. I will always want you.

I came in like a wrecking ball. I never hit so hard in love.

All I wanted was to break your walls. All you ever did was wreck me.

Yeah, you. You wreck me.

I tear my eyes away from her and glance at the lads. Louis and Niall's mouths are hanging open, while Liam has a huge smile on his face. Zayn looks over at me and gives me a thumbs up.

I put you high up in the sky, and now, you're not coming down.

It slowly turned, you let me burn, and now we're ashes on the ground.

Don't you every say I just walked away, I will always want you.

I can't live a lie, running for my life. I will always want you.

Came in like a wrecking ball. I never hit so hard in love.

All I wanted was to break your walls. All you ever did was wreck me.

Came in like a wrecking ball. Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung.

Left me crashing in a blazing fall. All you ever did was wreck me.

Yeah you. You wrecked me.

I never meant to start a war, I just wanted you to let me in.

And instead of using force, I guess i should have let you in.

I never meant to start a war, I just wanted you to let me in.

I guess I should of let you in...

This song is even better then the first one I heard her sing. I can literly see it on our next album. By the looks on the lads faces, I know they are thinking the same thing. Louis catches my eye and mouths 'Wow' to me. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yeah, you. You wreck me.

As the song ends everyone at our table stands up and cheers. I am absolutly chuffed at how well she did.

Ava immediatley goes into her next song, singing Everybody Hurts, the song I first heard her sing just a few nights ago.

Once she finishes, another round of cheers sounds from our table. She thanks the audience, smiles, and heads off stage. Poppy promptly gets up and heads towards the stage door.
