My Heart Is Taken, You're The Only One On My Mind.
Chapter 1
Liam's POV
4th September 2010
Standing in the queue outside, for hours on end, looking at the other thousands of people that were waiting for their time to come, to audition for the UK's number 1, singing competition, had to be the most nerve racking thing going. The thousands of hopefuls, standing behind me, to the side of me, in front of me, was amazing. Every one of them ranged from 16, to 80. All of them wanting to get through.
I looked at the smiling faces of my family, and thought about how, what I was about to do, I was going to do it for them. To make my family proud.
This being the second time auditioning for The X Factor, it made me even more nervous than I was before. It also made me more determined though, to strive further. To prove to Simon, and the other judges that I could do it. That I'd taken on Simon's advice, and come back two years later, with more confidence, and readied myself for the competition.
Another 3 hours passed before, I was stood at the front of the queue claiming my contestant number, and walking into the room, where all the other people were sat. The room was far from quiet. Everyone was talking, laughing, singing. Although, the one thing that was felt throughout the whole room, radiating off everyone, was nerves. Everyone was nervous to go and stand in front of those 4 judges, that would possibly change their lives forever.
Standing in front of those 4 judges was the scariest thing, I have ever had to do. It didn't get any less scary, since last time I was here, two years ago. Simon, seemed pleased to see me again. The other judges had a smile on their face, as they spoke to me. When I told them I was going to be singing 'Cry Me a River' then seemed quite nervous, and a little shocked. Almost as if, I wouldn't be able to do it. Although, when I looked at Simon, I could see the smile hinting on his face, which was him telling me that he had confidence in me.
As the music played, a small smile spread across my face, as I realized that soon enough, once again, I could be going through. Doing what I loved.
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Just to prove that you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
As I looked around at the other judges, trying to regain my breath, every one of them stood up. So did the audience, and to be honest, it was the best feeling ever. Simon had the biggest smile on his face, giving me that feeling of hope.
I could make it this time.
The judges gave me feedback, telling me that I was really good, and that they hadn't heard anything like that in a long while.
Three out of four judges gave me a yes, telling me that I was through to the next round. I gave them my thanks, this meant more to me than they could ever understand.
I ran back into the waiting arms of my family, had a quick chat with Dermot, and off we went.
All we had to do now, was wait for the auditions to be over, and wait for the next stage to come around... Bootcamp.
Zayn's POV
19th September
We'd already made it into the waiting room, the people that were sat around me were my mum and my 3 sisters; Donya, Waliyha and Mira. They'd all been so supportive of me since the beginning. If it hadn't been for my mum I wouldn't be sat in this waiting room right now. My mum had persuaded me to audition, at first I was hesitant, but then I thought what the heck. I remember sitting there at the computer desk, filling in the application form and hitting send.
My sisters were admiring the other male contestants around the room and I had to roll my eyes at them, girls will be girls.
It was a while before my name was called. In that moment, all the nerves came flooding back. I was fine, while we were sat there waiting, but as soon as my number was called, that was it. As much as I wanted to back out, I knew I couldn't. I wanted to do this, i was about to go and stand in front of the people that could possibly change my life forever and do what I loved to do. I did it.
I walked out on stage and answered every question that was asked to me, with a happy yet nervous smile.
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Fistful of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you, you are)
You should let me love you
Simon cut me off, and instantly bad thoughts went through my head. Although, the audience seemed to love it. There was a smile that spread across Simon's face, which made me believe that there was that inch of hope. Maybe it wasn't that bad.
When the judges all answered with a yes, I knew right then, that my prayers had be answered, that there was someone out there, that was looking out for me.
I thanked all 3 of the judges, with a grin and ran off the stage, into the waiting arms of my mother and sisters. I had a quick chat with Dermot, and then off we went.
All we had to do now, was wait for the auditions to be over, and wait for the next stage to come around... Bootcamp.
