E.

Harry had ended up in my bed at some point in the night. I layed there, Harry's head rested on my torso and he was curled up in the fetal position.

I gently brush my hand through his hair. I'm too afraid to go to sleep because he's in bad shape. I check the clock beside my bed. 3 am.

After three months of knowing him, he has somehow ended up in my bed. It felt so natural for some reason. And I know it's so innapropriate but it felt so right. Reassuring him through this rough time makes me feel...wanted in his life.

I looked down at his face in the dark and I am still able to see how red his eyes are from crying. I lean down and press my lips against his head and hold him closer to me. He's so tall and strong but he looks like a lost boy. He looks so vulnerable pressed against me.

Somehow, I was able to fall asleep.

I awake to a shifting movement beside me on my bed. I see Harry groggily slide off the mattress. "Hey, hey. Are you okay?" I ask, sliding my hand across the sheets to reach for him.

"I gotta go. It's been one night." He whispers. "Just go to sleep. You look tired."

I hum and nod. "Will you be ok?"

"I'm just going to go to the studio. Gonna distract myself for a moment."

"Are you going to be by yourself?" I ask, becoming worried.

"I'll have AJ come with me. Please don't worry. I'll be okay. I just need to get to the studio." He assures me and saunters over to me, pulling the blankets up to my neck. "Sleep, okay?"

I nod again, smiling slightly. Harry pushes my hair out of my face and heads to the door. "Sleep well, Sleeping Beauty."

H.

On my way to the studio, I pick up AJ. "Hey Harry, I heard what happened." He says, cautious with his words as he slides into the car.

"I don't want to talk about it. Can we just write some songs?" I ask him.

He nods. "Sorry." He becomes quiet and presses his head against the window.

The silence makes it worse as I drive down the busy roads. "Okay. Fuck! Talk about something." I rasp, hitting the steering wheel.

"Well, first of all, calm down. Second, put your seatbelt on." AJ counters. Once we stop at a stop light, I buckle my seatbelt. I feel his stare.

"Yeah, yeah."

I pull up to the studio and I automatically know what I need to write about.

AJ and I worked for the rest of the day and all night until I wrote the last lyric of the song.

"Okay, Harry. Just write the title and we'll be done," AJ yawns.

I nod and scribble the title on the top of the page.

Sweet Creature.

I look over the song and nod to myself, biting my knuckle. "Let's go." My voice croaks.

"I can drive." AJ offers as we walk out to my car. "We can go to my house."

I shake my head and slide into the driver's seat. "I'll drop you off. I'll go to the hotel."

"You'll be okay?" He asks as I drive off.

I groan. "I'll be fine."

"I-just..ugh ok. Harry be safe." AJ murmurs as he gets out at his house.

"I'll try." I whisper to the point where he can't hear me. Before I pull away, I dial her number.

Everything comes back to her.

"Hello?" Her tired voice yawns into the phone. I stay quiet as I savor the sound of her voice. "Harry are you okay?"

"Can we drag one night into two?" I ask, chewing on my lip.

The other line becomes quiet. "Come over."
