Demi POV

Oh My God! I'm about to start as a judge at The X Factor! I'm freaking the hell out! It's a new chapter for my life, a lot has happened, I've been through a lot of things, but above all that... I'm still learning how life rolls... as I was walking to the entrance for the stage to be the judge for The X Factor a lot of feelings where rounding my head, this thoughts where the ones that stuck on my head.

We are in Texas my hometown, here we go! Let's do this!

Well...it went pretty good, now we are moving to Kansas City, it seems that there is a lot of talent, I'm impressed!

OMG!I'm exhausted! But here we are in San Francisco!

Fiuf! Two more days of auditions and that is it! This is nerve raking but also wonderful! The show must go on...soooo...we are in Providence!

OK PEOPLE! The end of auditions is today! We are in North Carolina and lets see how it goes...

Lauren POV

I'm finally in North Carolina with my family, they came with me to support me for my audition to The X Factor! Yes...I'm auditioning today in front of LA Ried, Britney Spears, Simon Cowell and... Demi Lovato! I think that she is so cool and I admire her... I hope she likes my voice... Fingers crossed!

They finally called my name and I'm pretty much freaking the hell out!

Demi POV

Ufff I'm so tired! But lets keep working and messing with Simon's mind, or well known as grandpa... Sometimes he just gets to my nerves!

I'm making some notes on my papers and when I look up...I see the most amazing eyes that I've ever seen... Simon is doing a little interview to those eyes... and I swear our eyes made contact and I felt like never before...my stomach is making all kinds of flips, my hands are sweating and my heart feels like it's going to come out of my chest...like literally...

Her name is Lauren... She looks very pretty with her blue shirt that matches her eyes...FUCK! SHE IS 16! I think I'm going to go to hell for this...but...I don't care...she is gorgeous and she is going to sing one of my favorites songs by Alicia Keys...

OMG! She just opened her mouth and I think I'm going to faint...to try to control it I turn to Simon and ask him "She is sixteen!?" and Simon seems to be oblivious to my feelings and just nods and makes a face like "I know...amazing"... So he didn't heard my heart pounding like a drummer or my excitement... That's good...

Simon stopped the music before Lauren finished the song and I started to panic cuz I thought she was great! I turn to see Simon and he has a big big smile on his face...so... GOOD NEWS TO MY ANGEL! Wait...what the hell is happening to me!?

Simon just as she finished singing says "And that Lauren is how you do it…"

LA is the one to start… here goes nothing… "Oh my God, that husky, round voice is so mature, it was perfect! Perfect audition" oh yeah…her voice is great!...the audition just by that was not perfect… SHE IS PERFECT!

Next goes Britney… "I thought you were unbelievable, you are so so good sweetie"… yes… I agree she was unbelievable!

OMG! MY TURN…stay calm… breathe in breath out… I can't concentrate with her looking at me and smiling at me!... Finally I got my composure back and I say "You have something really special about you, that I can't believe that you have only 16 with that voice, I'm just…I'm really impressed"… great I didn't blew it and said something embarrassing…buuuuut… she didn't answer just with a "thank you"…

"Thank you so much… you don't know what means to me"… THAT sealed the deal… she is so amazing and so shy… and awwww… she is really sweet… she couldn't hold watching at me and turned her head.

Simon went after me and said "Lauren, you know what I like to be surprised and you really really surprised me, I mean, the maturity of your voice for 16, your tone, everything about you, one of my favorite auditions, great!, ok, now we are going to vote… LA…"

After that I only heard LA say yes, then Britney another yes, then me and I could only say "yes" and Simon said "Lauren you have 4 yeses sweetheart" and she did this little adorable jumps… blew a kiss… that I swear was for me and ran out of the stage.

At the judge's table everyone was talking about her audition… I could only drink water to calm my self, Simon started "She was good", then LA "She is really good, I was shocked", Britney goes next "Very rich voice", I decided to not comment cuz I was freaking the hell out!

We just finished the auditions! I saw a lot of potential...and Lauren that I'm going to see again cuz she got 4 yeses and great reviews! CONGRATS TO MY ANGEL! Wait...really!? what the hell it's happening to me!?

I'm walking on the hall to the dressing room and Simon approaches me with a glint in his eyes... I don't know what he is going to say but I'm relieved that there is no cameraman around...

"Hi Demi" Simon called after me, so I turn to look at him and I see him trying to hold his amusement...

"Hi Simon... I only stopped watching you and sitting beside you like 30 seconds ago...why are you saying hi to me now?...and what does your hidden smirk means? " I asked already irritated by his behavior

He starts to smile bigger and bigger till he seems like a little child... A creepy little old man child... Then he says something that I wish the earth would open and swallow me... "Well if you must know Mrs. Jauregui... " and I almost blacked out...he DID noticed! OMG I'M GOING TO DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT! "I think that you just meet your soul mate..." and I'm speechless... He must notice for the way I'm looking at him cuz he starts laughing so hard that I'm afraid he is going to die...so I regain my confidence...

"Excuse me? What are you talking about?" I said to him, hiding my anger and nervousness.

He regains his composure but his smirk is bigger than ever!

"Ja! You thought that I didn't notice the way you where looking at Lauren!? I don't think so sweetheart...and yes...I saw the way she looked at you too...and yes...I heard your heart, heard your excitement and I saw how you where holding your hands so I'm pretty sure you where sweating or...you where trembling since you locked eyes with her"

Now I think that I'm going to cry... He must seen this cuz he comes a little closer and embrace me like a father with hold his child for support... I start whimpering and he soothes me...

"Hey breath...I'm not judging you... I was just playing with you...what's wrong?" he says and I just broke down…

After a little while I finally calmed down and said "Yes I was sweating like a mad woman, my heart was pounding like a hammer that I thought that was going to come out of my chest and yes I liked her...but it's so wrong! she is so young...I could go to jail...I could have my heart broken in matter of seconds if anything happens and I'm just so not right for her...I 've been through a lot, I'm older than her...I'm one of her judges…and not to mention...SHE IS A GIRL!"

Simon looks at me like I have 3 heads and ask me "are you homophobe...?"

"Obviously not! How could you think that I said that for that reason!? I said it because I never thought that I was gay...it comes as a shocker to me...but...ok...you love who you love..."

"So now after freaking out...you love her..." he says with amusement on his voice…I think that I let it slip that last part...but I was thinking the same thing… do I love her?

"I can't call it love...but I really liked her...I don't know...but also...she is one of the contestants...and she is younger…and even I'm not into labels or anything like that…I never thought that I would like a girl like that… I know I'm young…but even that…I never thought about it" I say to Simon and to my self.
