Restless [Reckless Sequel] || Harry Styles AU (DISCONTINUED)

5: the feeling

Harry sent me a look from my side and I nudged his shoulder as a way of saying, 'behave'. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he laughed.

The door to the dressing room opened once again. Two men stood with Justin, who I recognized as Scooter Braun and Skrillex.

"Let's go to the studio room," Emily proposed.

We held off introductions for the time being until we had some privacy. The room was only down the hall, so it wasn't all too awkward. The door closed behind us and we gathered by the stage.

"I'm Jess. It's really nice to meet you guys," I finally introduced, shaking Scooter's and Sonny's hands. It felt appropriate to give Justin a hug.

Scooter and Sonny introduced themselves, whereas Justin didn't. It was a bit strange, but I guess if you're as well known as he is, it's not all that necessary.

"This is Jane, my manager, Emily, my vocal coach, and Harry, my photographer and boyfriend," I smiled.

Harry was the first to offer them all a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you, mate," Harry said to Justin.

"So, I say we should get right down to business with this track, yeah?" Scooter suggested, unlocking his iPhone.

"Agreed," Jane said.

Justin sat down on the mini stage with his legs crossed. I sat down a few feet from him and leaned back on my hands.

"Just a run down...the track sort of describes a liminal, unstable state of the feeling of love, basically," Sonny explained.

"It's missing something, and that would be you," Justin added. "You're a respectable and inspirational artist, and it would be an honor to have you on this track with me."

I smiled. "I already said yes to it, you don't have to suck up," I joked, making him laugh. "But, really, thank you for the opportunity and the chance to be in your album."

He gave a humbled nod.

"Wanna hear the instrumentals?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah, of course."

***

After the two hours we spent in that room, I completely feel in love with the song. We sang along to it, jammed out, danced a bit, took pictures, and laughed a lot. The song was called "The Feeling", and it had this unearthly, light, and hypnotic vibe to it. Both mine and Justin's voices blended well in the chorus.

Scooter had said that there was talk that Justin was going to perform on Good Morning America in the middle of November, and it would be a good idea to have me perform the song with him. I, of course, agreed.

"So, just call me next time you're free in LA, and we'll hit the studio," Justin told me as we all walked out of the studio room together.

"I will, for sure."

He held his arms out for a hug, and I returned it. "Hey, mind if I hear a few tracks off your new album? It's only fair," he reasoned.
