It was decided that the girls would share a suite while the boys all got their own rooms. We were staying in a huge (and nearly empty) hotel, so it was convenient for us to each have our own beds and privacy. I had borrowed Niall's guitar (and if anyone asked, I'd say he gave permission), and I was just finishing a song I'd written while on “vacation”. It was the first song I'd ever attempted to write, and I was proud of it. But I was never going to let the boys hear it. Ever.

“What is that music for? I've never heard that song,” Dani said, sitting down beside me.

“No, you wouldn't have. I wrote it myself,” I replied.

“Can I hear the finished product,” Mica asked. She'd seen me writing it and had even heard the chorus before, but I'd never let her read the song or hear the whole thing.

“Okay... but I'm never playing it for the boys. So don't even ask about that,” I told them. Then I took a deep breath and started playing.

Slip across the floor

Grace denied once more

a toe far out the door

And you want more.

Turn your head against the wind

take a step out onto the street

This longing lives inside you

It's eating the inside

No way to stop, only turning for the blind

You want it, you need it

You beg and you plead

Sparkling eyes, open wide to see

You are all, you are none

The world and the void

In all of the noise, I hear you

In all of the noise I hear you

A tango of feeling

A rush all alone

You can't forget what you came for

Why should you waste your time playing a game

When you could be dancing a solo

Take that step now

Don't look back now

Turn your heart to flow along

You want it, you need it

You beg and you plead

Sparkling eyes, open wide to see

You are all, you are none

The world and the void

In all of the noise, I hear you

In all of the noise I hear you

Pirouette, pique, tondu, retiré

The steps of time and balance

You hear it, you know it

Don't fight it, just show it

Dance now, away

You want it

You need it

You fight it

You see it
