Bono's POV

It's six in the morning but I can't stay in my bed any longer...

I've never been a morning person, really, but the last couple of days I just wasn't myself. I stand up, scratching my head and I am heading to the bathroom. I put some water to my face and decide to shave, something I haven't done for like a week now. I am putting the shaving foam on my face, Ι am taking the razor and start to shave myself. "Shaving sometimes seems to be a lot of fun", I thought to myself. When I finish I went to the kitchen, I just wanted to find Ali, hug her, kiss her... She always knows how to make my day! But she wasn't there! Yes, now I remember she had that professional trip...

She is not here, I am alone...

My two older daughters don't live here with us any more. That's normal I didn't live with my father in their age either! My two younger sons have some important games to play with their football team so they will not be at home for some days 'cause as they told me all the athletes are gonna stay at the camp...

So, basically, apart from Brian, my bodyguard, who is sleeping right now, I am alone... I made a coffee for myself and went to the living room, I lay down on the couch and now I am staring at the window. I hate being alone, not having anyone to talk to! I put the cup with the coffee on the table and grab a pen and a paper. I always have some empty papers and pens in every possible place in my home, in case I come up with some good ideas. As I stared writing, the words were just going from my head right down to the paper, I had that ecstatic feeling I get every time I write some new lyrics. After half an hour or so, I put down the pen and reread what I have written. It's good, really good, if I make some corrections it would be great!!! And just like this I am not feeling useless any more! I don't feel alone either but still something is missing!

I stand up and I am going right to my room to find my mobile phone. It's on the night stand I grab it and dial a number:

"-Hmm..." is the answer I get at first

"-Hi The! Have some great news!" I tell my old fella, know as The Edge but I usually call him just The and I know he's ok with this. I thing that he kida likes it

"-Do you even know what time is it???" he asks me furious now and as far as I can say totally awake

"-Yeah, I know!!! Time for you to wake up!!!"

"-What the fuck do you want with me 7 in the morning? It's Saturday!!! We don't have any recording today and I want to sleep! For God's sake Bono I am tired and I just want to sleep! Is that a strange thing or what?"

"-Dave, sorry for waking you up... I just couldn't sleep..."

"-And that's means that no one else can't sleep as well??? Why don't you call Guggi or Gavin???"

"-I wanted to speak to you... I know you're tired, I am as well but I want you to come here."

"-Have you lost your mind? First youwake me up and now you want me to come to your house???"

"-Don't yell at me, I've already told you I'm a sorry for waking you up! I feel like crap and no one is here, just come, I need you... Also there is something I want to show you, some new lyrics!"

"-Anyway, I am coming!!!"

"-Thank you The!!!"

"-Have some coffee done for me and remember you owe me for this!!!"

"-Whatever you want!!! Just come!"

"-Alright, see you!"

I hanged up and went to the kitchen again to prepare Edge's coffee. After a couple of minutes the doorbell starts ringing. It's The Edge!

"-Good morning sleepy head!"

"-Cut it off Bono!!!"

"-Ok, ok... " I say and rising up my hands in defense

He sits on the couch, I bring him his coffee and sit beside him

"-It's the way you like it, isn't it?"

"-Like, always!" he says sarcastically with a smirk on his face

"-Whatever..." I answer and roll my eyes

"-By the way, where is the lyrics you told me about?"

"-Here!" I say and hand him the paper with the lyrics

He grabbed the paper and started reading it. He was really focused, he was looking at the paper like it was a treasure or something and he didn't even move from his position, he is always concentrated when it comes to work, until he turns to me and grabs me from my neck:

"-That's awesome Paul!!! That's really great even for you!!! This thing gonna be on our new album!!!"

"-Hmm... Dave you know we can't do that! We have already the number of songs we need for the album."

"-I don't care!!! I told you it's in and that's final this is gonna be on our new fucking album!"

"-You know, I wrote this and I like it more than you do but which song is it going to replace?"

"-None of them! I' ll write a new melody especially for this!!!"

"-Are you sure you can? Usually it takes to you months to complete a new melody and we don't have that much time! We have to deliver this album by the end of the year and you haven't completed the other songs we are preparing yet!"

"-I can do it!! I've done it before! I'll do it, like I did with Zooropa, remember?"

"-Yeah..." I say but I am not sure he can do it. He wants everything to be perfect and perfect is not an easy thing! If perfect exists at all.

"-Hey Bono! I know you worry that I'm not gonna make it but I will, buddy!!!" He says and gently strokes my head.

"-Sometimes you are so narrow minded!!!"

"-But that's the thing with me!!! Don't forget that you are even worse than me!" he says and drinks some of his coffee.

"-So, now we have our bonus track, right?"

"-Yeah! Indeed!!!"
