The X factor experience Chapter 1, a glee fanfic

Brett's thoughts will be written in Italics

Flashback two weeks ago

'' Brett, Brett you got the letter'' My best friend yells and runs into my room

'' What letter?'' I ask confused

'' The acceptance letter for X factor'' Puck says excited

I jump off my bed in shock and ask '' Are you serious?''

'' Yes here'' Puck says and hands me the envelop

I open the envelop and read the letter

Congratulations Brett Pierce the jury decided to give you a chance to audition

Saturday 22 may 2013 is your audition day make sure that you are here that day

You can come with friends and family it doesn't matter, we will see you Saturday Mr Pierce.

'' Holy shit!'' I say in shock

'' 22 may to the X factor bitches'' Puck says with a big smile

'' You are coming with me bro'' I say with a smile

'' Sam and Mercedes are coming too'' Puck says

I nod my head and lay back down on my bed, Puck pats me on my shoulder and runs out of my room.

Holy shit I have to audition for X factor, thank god my friends are coming with me.

Present time

'' Good morning bro'' I say with a smile and sit down on the couch

'' Morning bro ready for today?'' Puck asks with a smile

'' Yeah I am a little bit nervous though'' I say with a small smile

'' Don't be you are awesome dude'' Puck says and lays a hand on my shoulder

'' Thanks bro I will take a quick shower and after that we can leave'' I say with a smile and stand up

'' Alright Mercedes and Sam will be here in ten minutes'' Puck says with a smile

'' Okay'' I say and run upstairs

Puck and I know each other since we are five years old, we lived in the same neighborhood and we were going to school together.

We met Mercedes and Sam here in New York they sat in the same classes as us, Puck and I both decided to go to New York after graduating.

We grew up in California but we decided to rent a house in New York and go to college here, we both don't have contact with our parents because they never gave a fuck about us.

After I took a quick shower I wrap a towel around my waist and walk to my closet, I grab my favorite black jeans and grab my favorite tank top with the text. ' You can either agree with me or be wrong'

After I put on all my clothes I grab my favorite black Nike AF1 Downtown Hi Spike sneakers and run down the stairs, I run into the living room and sit down on the couch.

'' Hey Brett'' Mercedes says with a smile

'' Hey Cedes'' I say with a smile and put on my shoes

'' Hey bro'' Sam says with a big smile

'' Hey Sammie'' I say with a smile

'' Ready for your audition?'' Sam asks

'' Yeah I am'' I say with a smile

'' Well we have to go guys or we are gonna miss the train'' Puck says and grabs his bag and keys

I grab my leather jacket and grab the small bag with energy and food, Puck opens the door for me and pushes me outside.

I walk to the cab Puck called for us and jump in the passenger seat, Puck, Sam and Mercedes jump in the backseat and the driver starts his car.

After twenty minutes the driver parks his car and I give him some money, I jump out of the car and grab my bag.

Puck jumps out of the car and yells '' We have two minutes run bro''

'' Shit'' Sam, Mercedes and I yell in unison and I start running to our train

I dodge a few peoples and see our train, I look behind me and see my friends running like crazy.

Mercedes and Sam both run to the first door and hold it open for me and Puck, Puck and I both speed up and literally dive the train in before the door closes.

'' Holy shit'' I say through deep breaths

Puck pats me on the back and drags me to a few empty seats, I sit down in my chair and lay my head on my knees.

'' That was fun'' Mercedes says with a chuckle

'' Now we have to sit in a fucking train for thirty hours'' I say with a groan

'' That dive was painful'' Puck says with a groan and rubs his shoulder

'' Dude you shoulder tackled my fucking back'' I say with a chuckle

'' Your back is fucking hard'' Puck says with a chuckle

I shake my head with a chuckle and lay my head against the window, Puck hands me my mp3 and says. '' You didn't sleep last night, take a rest bro.''

I nod my head and put on my headphones, I select the song I want to sing for X factor and close my eyes.

I don't know for how long I slept but as Puck wakes me up, my back and neck hurt like hell.

'' What time is it?'' I ask groggily

'' I don't know I just woke up too'' Puck answers

'' We still have three hours, but maybe it's time to eat something.'' Sam says

'' Damn did I sleep for twenty-three hours?'' I ask shocked

'' Yeah you did'' Mercedes says with a chuckle

I grab my bag out of Sam's hand and hand everyone an energy and a sandwich with cheese, I take a sip of my energy and say. '' I really have to do my hair before the train stops''

'' Do you have the stuff you need?'' Sam asks

'' Yeah I have everything'' I say with a smile and take a bite of my sandwich

After I ate my sandwich I place my energy down on the small table and grab my bag again, I turn around so that I face the window and grab my hair gel.

I grab a bottle of water and pour a little bit in the palm of my hand, after I made my hair wet I grab a little bit of gel and go with my hands through my hair to make small spikes and spray some hairspray on my hair.

I put everything back in my back and ask '' Is it alright?''

Puck looks at me and says '' Yeah it sits better than this morning''

'' I didn't do a thing to my hair this morning asshole'' I say with a chuckle

'' Oh sorry'' Puck says laughing

'' But Brett if they give you the chance to prove yourself again, what are you gonna do?

Its thirty hours with the train and almost forty hours with the car, are you gonna drive every week?'' Mercedes asks

'' No they will pay for a hotel if they want me to prove myself in the second round, I only have to go back to grab some clothes and other stuff.

You guys can stay with me but we have to share one hotel room, I don't think I can pay for four.'' I say shrugging

'' Sam and I can't come every week, we have to work Brett.'' Mercedes says with a sad smile

'' We can share a room bro we always did'' Puck says shrugging

'' Let's just wait what the jury says'' I say with a smile

'' Yeah we are almost there'' Sam says with a smile and points to the window

We all turn our heads and look out of the window, I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket and pull it out.

I see that Puck updated his facebook status and open the app

My bro Brett Pierce will audition for X factor today, I know for sure that they will send him to the second round.

Get ready bitchesz because Hollywood here we come!

I shake my head with a chuckle and write an own status

On my way to Hollywood with my best friends Noah Puckerman, Mercedes Jones and Samuel Evans.

I put my phone back in my pocket and grab my back as I see us nearing the station, I take a sip of my energy and stand up.

Puck, Sam and Mercedes stand up too and walk to the door, I stand back against the wall and take the last sip of my energy.

Puck looks at me with a smirk and says '' Maybe you will meet a few hot chicks bro''

'' Shut up dude'' I say with a chuckle and throw the empty can to his head

Puck takes a step to the side and the can flies against Mercedes her head, Puck and I burst out laughing and jump out of the train as the door opens.

'' Come here asshole'' Mercedes yells and runs after me

Puck and I both stop running and I say '' Hey it's not my fault, I threw it at Puck's head but he took a step to the side.''

Mercedes slaps both of us on the back of our heads and says '' Assholes''

I rub the back of my head and walk after her down the stairs, Puck hails a cab for us and after a few minutes nothing stops in front of us.

'' Seriously bro?'' I ask with a chuckle

'' Try is yourself they don't stop'' Puck says shrugging

I shake my head with a chuckle and release a very loud whistle, after a second a cab stops in front of us and I look at Puck with a smirk.

'' Damn I am deaf'' Puck and Sam say in unison

I shake my head laughing and jump in the passenger seat, Mercedes, Sam and Puck jump in the cab and I say. '' To CBS television city please''

The men nods his head and drives away, after eight minutes the men stops his car and I give him some money.

I jump out of the car and adjust my leather jacket, Puck and Mercedes both grab my arm and pull me inside.

'' Dude I can walk too ya know'' I say with a groan and pull my arms away

I walk to the woman behind a desk and give her the envelop, the woman reads the envelop and says. '' Ah you will be number 269 Mr Pierce''

I nod my head and take the sticker from her, the woman looks at me with a smile and says. '' You can just put that on your jacket''

I nod my head and place the sticker on my jacket, the woman stands up and says. '' You and your friends can walk around here, you will know when it's your turn because someone will come and get you.''

'' Thank you'' I say with a smile and walk back to Puck, Sam and Mercedes

'' And?'' Puck asks

'' Number 269'' I say with a smirk

'' Oh 69'' Puck says and wiggles his eyebrows

'' Ugh dude only you think about that'' I say with a chuckle

'' Can we sit somewhere? I already saw number 235 walking behind the presentation'' Mercedes says

'' Um yeah come on'' I say with a smile and walk to a couch where more people are sitting

I sit down on the arm of the couch and push Mercedes in the last free seat, Puck looks at me with a smirk and pushes me off the arm of the couch.

'' Fucking asshole'' I say with a chuckle and stand back up

'' You belong on the ground Brett'' Puck says laughing

'' Fuck you dude'' I say and hit him hard on the back of his head

'' Ouch'' Sam says with a chuckle

I grab my sunglasses out of my bag and put them on, I walk to a window and sit down on the window ledge.

Puck, Mercedes and Sam walk to me and sit down next to me, I lay my head against the window and close my eyes.

'' Woah dude check out those chicks'' Puck whispers and nudges me

I shake my head and say '' Dude I am here to sing, not to check out some chicks.''

'' Brett Pierce?'' A woman asks

I look up and see Khloe Kardashian standing in front of me with a camera crew, I take off my sunglasses and say. '' Um yes?''

'' Do you want to do a small interview?'' Khloe asks with a smile

'' Yeah sure'' I say shrugging

'' Alright follow me one of your friends can come with you'' Khloe says with a smile

'' Puck goes'' Mercedes and Sam say in unison

I shake my head with a chuckle and follow Khloe to a small room, Puck and I both sit down on a chair and Khloe sits down in front of us.

'' Well ladies and gentleman here is our next singer Brett Pierce'' Khloe says with a smile and looks in the camera

The camera turns to us and Puck and I both smirk a little, the camera men turns his camera back to Khloe.

'' How old are you Brett?'' Khloe asks with a smile

'' I am nineteen years old'' I say with a smile

'' Why are you here?'' Khloe asks

'' I love singing and I love music and just like everyone here I want to make it in the music industry'' I say shrugging

Khloe nods her head and asks '' What will you do if you win X factor?''

'' I don't know first I have to audition'' I say with a smile

'' Where are you from?'' Khloe asks

'' I am born in California but I live in New York with my best friend Puck'' I say and point to Puck

'' When did he started singing Puck?'' Khloe asks

'' I don't really know I know Brett since we are five years old and I had a guitar in my room, one time he came over and asked if he could play on my guitar and since then we both play guitar and Brett sings.'' Puck says with a smile

'' You two act like brothers'' Khloe says with a smile

'' We see each other as brothers, we grew up together attended to college together and even dropped out of college together.'' Puck says with a chuckle

'' Yeah and we live in the same house'' I say shrugging

'' You live together?'' Khloe asks with a smirk

'' Not like that'' Puck and I say in unison

Khloe bursts out laughing and says '' Woah calm down boys''

'' Sorry'' I say with a chuckle

'' We decided to rent a house together, because that was better than living in a dorm.'' Puck says with a smile

'' Are you singing too?'' Khloe asks

'' No I am here to support Brett'' Puck says with a smile

'' Alright well Brett it's your turn over a few minutes, so you can follow me and Puck can get your other friends and follow one of the guys he will lead you to the small room where he can watch your audition.'' Khloe says with a smile

The camera men turns off his camera and I ask '' Um Khloe is it possible that Puck comes with me?''

'' Yeah but only one can come with you, your other two friends have to stand in that room.'' Khloe says

'' That is okay'' Puck says with a smile

Khloe nods her head and says '' Okay follow me guys''

Puck and I both follow Khloe and someone of the crew walk away to get Mercedes and Sam, Khloe opens a door and says. '' You can sit here and do your thing, as the red light goes on you have to walk on stage.''

I nod my head and sit down on a chair Puck sits down next to me and lays a hand on my shoulder, Puck looks at me with a big smile and says. '' You got this bro they are gonna love you, nobody can sing like you just show them what you got.''

I nod my head with a smile and say '' Thanks bro''

Puck sits down next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder, a door opens and a girl comes running through it and jumps in a blonde girl arms.

'' You did it bitch'' the blond girl squeals

'' Damn that ass'' Puck whispers softly

I slap him on the back off his head and say '' Shut up dude''

The blond girl looks at me with an eyebrow I just shake my head and push Puck off his chair, the blonde girl burst out laughing and shakes her head.

The other girl turns around and locks eyes with me, I quickly look away and help Puck standing up.

'' Hey good luck in there'' A raspy voice says

I look up and see a beautiful Latina with black hair and dark brown eyes standing in front of me, I look at her with a smile and say. '' Thank you and congratulations''

'' Bro the light is on'' Puck says and points to the light

I look at the light and see the red sign, I close my eyes and sigh softly.

Puck lays a hand on my shoulder and says '' You can do this''

I nod my head and take the microphone someone of the crew gives me, I give Puck a bro hug and open the door.

I walk on stage and stand on the X sign, Simon Cowell looks at me and asks. '' Welcome what is your name?''

'' Brett Pierce'' I say

'' How old are you Brett?'' Britney Spears asks

'' I am nineteen years old'' I say with a small smile

'' What are you gonna sing for us?'' Demi Lovato asks

'' Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline'' I say with a smile

'' Alright let's hear it'' Simon says

I look at the crew backstage and nod my head, I look back at the jury and start singing as I hear the music.

Where it began,
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along.

Simon raises his hands and I immediately stop singing, because I know that the music stops as he does that.

I look at Simon and Simon says '' Don't get me wrong that sounded really good, but can you sing something and dance?''

I bite my lip in thought and after a few seconds I nod my head, I run to the crew and whisper my song to them.

The crew nod their heads and walk back to the radio, I take off my leather jacket and give it to Khloe.

I grab a headset and walk back on stage, I stand with my back to the jury and nod my head at the crew I look down at the ground and nod my head as I hear the music.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

I jump and turn in the air, I walk to the front of the stage and look at the audience.

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

I take a few steps back and place my feet firmly on the ground

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

I take a few more steps back but make sure that everyone still sees me

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

I run forwards and slide with my knees over the stage, I quickly jump up and stand as tall as possible.

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

I run back to the spot I just stood and lower my head a little bit

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

I look at the jury with a smirk and run forward, I do a one handed cartwheel land firmly on my feet on the edge of the stage.

I jump off the stage and offer my hand to a little girl, the little girl takes my hand and I twirl her around.

I smile as I hear a small giggle and jump back on stage as the song ends, I walk back to the X sign and do my headset off.

I catch the microphone someone of the crew throws at me, and look at the jury with a small smile.

The audience and the jury all stand up and suddenly start applauding, I shake my head in amazement and take my leather jacket a guy gives me.

I put my jacket back on and look at Demi as she clears her throat, Demi smiles at me and says. '' Woah Brett the first song or the things I heard were beautiful, but you killed this song and you even involved the audience.

This is really good I really enjoyed your performance, you definitely have talent.''

'' Thank you'' I say with a smile

'' This was really good Brett'' Britney says with a smile

'' Thank you'' I say with a smile

'' This was really good Brett your first song was good but a little bit too slow, the second song was perfect you killed it and you involved the audience.

I really enjoyed the second performance, I really want to see more of you but for now let's vote Demi what do you say?''

'' Yes'' Demi says with a big smile

'' Hell yes'' Britney says with a smile

'' That is three times a yes Brett, see you in the second round.'' Simon says with a big smile

'' Thank you'' I say with a big smile and wave at the audience

I run off the stage and dodge some people backstage, I open the door and to Puck.

Puck and I do our special bro five and Puck says '' You fucking did it bro''

'' I fucking did it'' I say with a big smile

'' Come on'' Puck says and opens the door to the exit

Puck and I both run to the waiting room were Sam and Mercedes are still seated and we see them jumping off the couch, Sam looks at me with a big smile and says. '' You fucking did it Pierce, everyone here was shocked.''

I give Sam a fist pump and Mercedes pulls me in a hug, Mercedes pulls out of the hug and says. '' Congratulations Brett''

I look up as I hear everyone applauding and shake my head with a chuckle, Puck looks at me with a smirk and says. '' It's time to get our clothes bro''

'' You don't have to'' I hear a very familiar voice say

I turn around with a big smile and say '' Uncle Schue''

Will Schuester teacher in Lima Ohio but crazy enough to fly to LA for his nephew

Uncle Schue pulls me in a hug and says '' Congratulations Brett, I knew you could do it.''

'' Thank you uncle Schue'' I say with a smile and pull out of the hug

'' I still have your key so I brought some clothes for you and Puck, I knew they would let you go to the second round so I drove to New York.'' My uncle says shrugging

'' You are the best Will'' Puck says with a big smile

'' Mercedes and Sam you guys can ride with me, I want to sleep for a few hours but after that I can drive you home.'' Will says with a smile

'' Thank you Will'' Mercedes says with a smile

Puck wraps an arm around my shoulders and says '' I think this will be a fucking good year bro''

I pat him on the back and say '' I know it for sure bro''

Let the adventure begin next week round two and hopefully more rounds, for now I want some food and I want to sleep.

I had another idea for a story and I just couldn't stop thinking about it, I won't stop with The past, The present and the future I don't know when I would upload the next chapter but just be patient. :]
