kostas was now back in greece for new years and aella was sitting refreshing her messages waiting to hear from ed.

AHHHH thank you ed, i'm heading to studio tomorrow probably after i get my nails done so ill send you the finally copy's and you can pick what one you think is better x

perfect i cannot wait to hear it x

she silently cheered, proud of the fact that ed liked her song. she couldn't help but smile. although she felt her eyes slowly becoming heavy from the lack of sleep she had been getting over christmas as it had been filled with seeing family and friends she hadn't seen in years not to forget the dreaded video calls and photos.

aella was lying down on the couch that was in the center of the norris households living room, with her was a sleeping mila norris who cuddled into aella like a teddy- mila had woken up from her slumber earlier on screaming for "auntie a" resulting in her being asleep on top the girl who at the time of her awakening was laying on the couch watching young royals. she checked the time to see that it was 11:35pm, she felt mila stur after grabbing the teddy kostas got her, aella moved her hand to the youngest hair and started playing with it. after aella had felt mila stop stirring she carried the two year old into olivers room where he put her into the crib. after aella had safely transported the girl into oliver's arms, she fell back onto the couch and got comfortable 'just five minutes' she thought to herself as she felt the tiredness take over.

aella could feel herself getting moved from the couch onto something more comfortable- which she knew to be landos bed. after the girl was placed she felt the bed dip and an arm wrap around her waist and pull her in slightly. she then heard the sound of baggio by miles kane playing until it formed into mere background noise that eventually faded out into nothingness. the girl was in a so called dreamless void where it was peaceful. an escape from the real world that was to complicated to deal with.

the girl woke to find the same arm that pulled her closer still attached to her except with an awake lando scrolling through his for you page with no volume in an attempt not to awaken the girl. aella shifted in her spot to inform lando that she was awake. she watched him move his focus from the phone to the girl who he was holding like if he didn't she would slip away.

"good morning sleeping beauty" lando said a small smile eched onto his face. "morning lando what time is it?" aella said "one pm, your nail appointment isn't until six so you have some time." lando replied. the girl nodded in response and then started to watch whatever 7 part series was on landos for you page. after many videos of carpets getting cleaned, tiny cooking, slime and soap cutting videos with POVs on the other side of the video or minecraft videos that break the logic of minecraft the duo left the bedroom to go get food.

silence filled the house, as earlier they had revived a message from landos phone informing them of the fact that everyone had took mila on a walk and they would be back later. the duo opted for a mini fry-up for their brunch that was gone within minutes but the time spent eating wasn't silent- the two spent the time talking, laughing and making memories that could haunt the house if they ever stopped being friends. after they had ate, aella found herself singing along to the soundtrack of heathers whilst cleaning up the mess that lando had somehow managed to make whilst cooking bacon, link sausage, fried bread, beans and eggs. lando couldn't help but admire the girl who was dancing around his old kitchen whilst singing the lyrics to 'freeze your brain' she was in her element.

lando knew staring was wrong yet he couldn't pull away from the girl, even when she noticed him staring and started singing 'dead girl walking' directly at him he couldn't look away. if oscar was here he would probably say something like "if you look at the girl any harder she will disintegrate, lando." it's moments like these lando wishes he had a photographic memory. she looked at peace singing these words from a musical she had made him watched over one hundred times illegally on youtube with the videos being named stuff like "mean girls but it's 1989 slime tutorial" he was in awe. his train of thought was interrupted by aella making a comment towards lando.

"take a picture lando, it will last longer." the girl said with a smirk but went back to singing after she uttered the words. normally lando would take a photo- even a video for that matter but instead he opted to hoping his brain would remember this since all he felt was sheer embarrassment. after the kitchen looked like lando had never entered a foot in it the duo headed upstairs to get changed as aella still had a nail appointment to make and she needed to record her song. lando would be driving the blonde as she still wasn't a confident driver even though she had been driving for six years. she just simply preferred lando being by her side although she would never say that out loud. aella found herself in a mclaren hoodie, her nike pros that were hidden under a pair of joggers that had been borrowed from someone within the norris household and her converse. the girl walked outside next to lando who was in a love on tour hoodie, pair of shorts and his adidas shoes. the two got into landos car and drove the short drive to the nail place aella had been going to for years- five seconds of summer blasting from the speakers.

as the two got out of the car photographers cameras started to flash as it had been waiting as it was no secret that the duo were back home. aella had never coped well with the photographers, as most were extreamly rude to her as she was "using lando for fame and money." although she had never once done that- yes he was her personal taxi at times but that was it. panic was sinking into the girls body as the slight clicking sounds of the camera could be heared, durn this she felt landos hand reach the small of her back slowly guiding her away from the photographers. she mentally noted that this would be in the media causing more speculation about the duo's relationship than there already was.

once the two had arrived in the nail salon lando took a seat next to the girl whilst she got her acrylics redone. the girl went for a simple set of french tips with small sand pink and lavender hearts scattered over the french tips. after the girl payed for the nails and thanked the workers so many times they told her to stop thanking them, the two left the nail salon and ignored the media as they just wanted to get to the studio. they two stepped into the recording studio and got to the places they needed to be- aella being in the booth and lando on the couch scrolling through what aella assumed to be instagram. she started to record the song. after about 10 recordings they finally completed the project.

the girl left the studio with a smile on her face as she had just recorded a new song which she could only hope would be successful.

"aella you sounded amazing, in there." lando informed aella with a genuine smile. "thank you lando." she replied a small smile resting on her face.

when the two got the car they started to drive home. aella connected her phone to the aux and started playing the mixed playlist her and lando created when they were younger that they still added to every other day. run by taylor swift ft. ed sheeran started playing and the duo started to sing along with lando singing ed's parts and aella singing taylors. no mistakes came from either of them when singing the lyrics of the song- it was there song. without thinking aella pulled out her phone and started recording the duo singing along to the vault track. it was never going to be a moment, or a memory the world would see but she she wanted it to last longer than the four minutes the song would play for.
