Chapter two
Bethany's pov
I was on my way to boot camp, and I still couldn't believe I'd made it through as a solo artist.
*flashback*
X-factor audition 2
"What are you going to sing for us then today then, Bethany?" Simon asked hopefully.
"I'm going to sing your song by Elton John," I answered, Simon nodded and I begun.
'it's a little bit funny, this feeling inside_
I'm not one those who, can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did_ I'd buy a big house where, we both could live.
And you can tell everybody this is your song_ it may be quite simple but now that it's done.
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world.'
I stopped, and the music also stopped. Cheryl started to say something about how I had a really sweet voice.
"Hang on a minute, I'm just going to interrupt you Cheryl," Simon said, "Bethany, you have a great voice but I think that your voice is capable of a lot more, so I would like you to sing an up tempo song." He raised his eyebrows quenstionally.
"Ok, I'm going to sing sweat by snoop dog." I held up 4 fingers to the sound guy for the track.
'Can you be my doctor? Can you fix me up? Can you wipe me down? So I can make you give it up give it up make you say my name like the jersey jersey shooting down the game. Be my head coach so you can put me in and never take me out till you taste the wind do it again and again till you say my name. And by the way I'm so glad glad, I just wanna make you sweat. I wanna make you sweat. I just wanna make you sweat. I wanna make you sweat. Sweat. I just wanna make you sweat.'
*end of flashback*
The taxi pulled up outside a huge hotel, I got out with my eyes glued to the hotel in amazement. The taxi driver got my bags out of the boot and put them on the pavement, waiting patiently for me to pay him- I did so and he went. I stayed staring at the hotel for a couple more minutes, then picked my bags up and walked in. 'No matter what happens, this will be the best experience of my life!' I thought.
I walked into the hotel lobby, there was a boy sitting at a table on his own. He looked a bit older than me but around my age. I looked away from him and focused on trying to find someone to tell me what room I'm in. I scanned all round the room for some clue of where someone could be- no one was here. I just kept spinning around in a circle my eyes quickly scanning the room again and again as I went. Suddenly, I felt a tapping on my shoulder, I stopped spinning to see that boy I'd spotted a minute ago had gotten up and come over to me.
"Hi, I'm Louis! Louis Tomlinson," the boy, who I now knew to be Louis, beamed at me; sounding more sure of his name the second time he said it.
"Hey, I'm Bethany, Beth, B, whatever," I said, "well not whatever 'cause you'd be surprised at all the horrible names," I muttered, "and not B because that's just stupid! So Bethany or Beth." He looked at me wide eyed after saying that all in one breath. Louis stuck his hands out for me to shake (I thought) I was about to take his hand when he pulled me into a hug instead and I happily hugged back. You see Mr Tomlinson is rather fit! He had brownie-greyish eyes and quite a nice built body, everything about him looked perfect. Well, besides his haircut, but his glossy brown hair shined in the light it just hung very messy and long.
"I couldn't help but notice the pained look on your face so I came over to see if you're ok," he said gently and cheerfully.
"Haha, yeah I'm fine. Except I don't know what room I'm in," I answered.
He looked relived, "Oh! That's an easy problem to sort out, on that wall over there," he pointed to the wall on the left, "is a sheet saying what room everyone's in and who they're sharing with."
"Thank you so much Louis, but there must be at least a hundred names on here," I say thanking him.
"Oh well unless your in a band with invisible people, your really a dude or you look for your age- you'll be listed under the girls category. What's your last name Beth?" Louis asked me.
"Jacksons," I answer. He looks at the girls on it and goes down until he gets to my name, squealing like a little girl so I know that he's found me. I laugh at him and thank him for finding me.
"This is so exciting! Your rooms across the corridor from mine!" Louis screams very enthusiastically. I laugh at him; give him a huge smile then turn to look at who it says I'll be sharing a room with. The paper read 'Cher Lloyd'. I started smiling even more now.
"Bethany, Bethany, Bethany. WHATEVER!" Louis shouted at me and I turned to look at him and burst into fits of laughter. "What?" he asked.
"Lou, when I said whatever I didn't mean call me whatever, I meant call me any other names you can think of," I said after finally carming down.
"Oh," he looked embarrassed and a bit confused. "Anyway, Beth, why you smiling like that? It's creepy," he said whilst shielding himself from me. I stopped smiling like a loon and instead laughed at him a bit again (such a strange boy). "Oh, well at the auditions I met the person I'm sharing with and she seems really nice. Louis I never asked you, why are you down here all alone?"
"I got here and I didn't know where to go, I met this guy called Liam and he showed me the sheet of names, kinda like how I am with you. It said I was sharing with a guy called Harry Styles, so I went to my room and he wasn't there so I decided to wait down here for him. Since I've met lots of people in my category asking if they were Harry," he answered pretty much giving me an encounter of his whole day. Coming through the door I noticed a boy, probably my age (fingers crossed), he was fairly tall, amazing chocolate coloured curls and nice blueish eyes. The next thing I know Louis ran over to him and embraced him in a hug shouting, "HARRRRRYYYYY!" then whispered in his ear, "You better be Mr Styles, otherwise I'll look like a total carrot head."
Harry laughed at him and said, "Yep, that's me. And you are?" Louis had stopped hugging him now and instead was bowing. "I'm Louis Tomlinson, I'm sharing a room with you," Louis answered as happy as ever. Laughing at Louis- which is all I seem to be doing for about 10 minutes- I began to walk towards them. As I got closer I realised Harry's eyes aren't just nice blueish everyday eyes, no, his eyes are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen; and I'm not just saying that because I adore green eyes and my eyes are blue. His eyes are greeny-blue pools of perfection- not quite blue but not quite green either, just perfect. I had reached Louis and Harry now, they where talking about something and as I approached they both turned to me, Louis with a look of pure enjoyment on his face because he knew Harry and I didn't and that he knew me and Harry didn't, and Harry just smiling a genuine smile at me and a questioning glance asking Louis who I am. But Louis wasn't going to tell yet so I stepped in and said, "Hey, I'm Bethany Jacksons."
"Harry Styles," Harry said. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Me and Harry picked up our bags, Louis helping, and made our way to our rooms. "No matter what happened, I can tell this is gonna be fun!" I heard Harry mutter under his breath and I couldn't help but agree.
