They ended up writing most of the one song, before the boys had to go get ready for their show.
"We will catch up in a moment." Effie smiled. "We want to shower and go change."
"Good luck out there!" Arwen shouted as they all left the bus. "Ready?" She turned to Effie and they quickly ran to the back lounge.
"One day we should learn to actually play instruments." Effie looked at all the guitars around them.
"If we get to the point of needing an instrument I can sorta barely play. We will focus on our words first though." Arwen picked up a notepad. The whole time the boys were writing they were in the zone, and rarely asked the girls for advice. Not that they'd really speak up if asked. They were afraid of giving dumb ideas, but they so badly wanted to try their hand at song writing, just to know if they could.
Effie grabbed a notepad as well, and they bounced ideas back and forth until they believed they had something they could end up working with. They just wanted to work with something they knew they could touch upon to work with.
"Ready to try it?" Arwen asked picking up Michael's acoustic guitar. She figured out just enough to play for their song.
"Yeah, lets give it a try."
Arwen played the lead in, and her and Effie joined together to sing the words.
"I was already missing before the night I left
Just me and my shadows and all my regrets.
Who am I?
Who am I when I don't know myself?
Who am I? Who am I?
Invisible."
They leapt out of their seats when they heard light applause.
"You've been holding out on us!" Luke laughed.
"Since when can you play guitar?" Michael asked, proudly sitting beside his girlfriend, patting the seat next to him.
Effie sat back down, and Ashton sat on her lap, before falling beside her on the couch with a giggle, and grabbing her notepad.
"These are pretty good. Why didn't you speak up sooner?" He asked passing the notes to Calum.
"Well, because we didn't know if we could, and we didn't want to make dumb suggestions." Effie shrugged, a light blush covering her cheeks. " We are nowhere near as good as you."
"Are you kidding me?" Calum exclaimed, passing the notepad to Luke. "These are great lyrics, and your singing, and the instrumental, my god guys. You're more talented than you think!"
"We are stealing this by the way." Michael smiled.
"You know, there's no way we can send you home now. You've basically written us a whole song!" Luke laughed. "You're stuck with us forever now."
"I'm okay with that." Ashton kissed the side of Effie's head.
