Today I felt like singing so, I grabbed my guitar and started strumming and singing along to Beside You by 5 Seconds of summer.

Within a minute I was all packed up
I've got a ticket to another world
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
The silent words are hard to speak
When your thoughts are all I see
"Don't ever leave," she said to me

When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky.
To the beat of our hearts at the same time.
So close but so far away.
(Can you hear me?)

[Chorus:]
She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
She lies awake.
I'm trying to find the words to say.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.

Another day and I'm somewhere new.
I made a promise that I'll come home soon.
Bring me back, bring me back to you.

When we both wake up underneath the same sun.
Time stops, I wish that I could rewind.
So close but so far away.

[Chorus:]
She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
She lies awake.
I'm trying to find the words to say.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.

There are pieces of us both
Under every city light
And they're shining as we fade into the night

She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was...

[Chorus:]
She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
She lies awake.
I'm trying to find the words to say.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.

She lies awake.
Beside you.
I wish I was, I wish I was...

She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was...

I heard clapping so I looked up to see everyone smiling at me. "That was amazing" The twins say with wide smiles.

"Yeah. You sing beautifully" Eddie adds on.
"I didn't know that you could sing. You're amazing" Jake said with a smirk, Maddie smiles widely as an idea pops into her head.

"I have an idea. You all should form a band" Maddie says smiling, me and the boys laugh. Us? In a band? Funny!

"Don't laugh, I'm serious. Jake and Sam can sing, Toby plays the piano, Mikey plays bass, Ethan plays drums and Eddie plays guitar. You all have a hidden talent, just let it roam free and see where it takes you. You don't have to, it's a suggestion"

"I think it's a great idea" I reply, looking at Jake with pleading eyes. He sighs and says "well if she will do it, I'll do it"

"Same here" Toby says

"Me too" Eddie adds on.

"I'm in" Ethan replies, we all look at Mikey.

"Fine. But I'm only doing this for you and for the girls" Mikey says pointing at me, I smile and clap my hands.

"Alright, well you guys come up with a name and then with a song to cover" Maddie says stepping out of the room and smiling

"Okay any suggestions?" I say

"What about Story Of Us?" Toby suggests, I nod. "YES! That is perfect because then we can cover the song Story of My Life by One Direction and have a slideshow of us growing up" I say excitedly while letting a little squeal escape my mouth.

"Even though it's a chick song, I'll do it. But the next song has to be one that we all want" Ethan says with a sigh, they all nod.

"I agree" they all reply.
