I wake up in my bed to Hannah's ringtone playing. She had set it for me a while ago and of course it was One Direction. The concert yesterday was actually a lot of fun even though I didn't get to meet the other boys I did get Liam's number. I opened the text from Hannah.
From: Hannah Styles
GUESS FUCKING WHAT.
-H
I laughed at how Hannah changed her name in my contacts. Yesterday she managed to find Harry and when she asked him for a hug he nodded and did so. She was convinced he was in love.
To: Hannah Styles
What? Nice name, Mrs. Styles.
-C
I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. I poured myself a bowl of cereal and started blasting music since it was Saturday and I had nothing to do in my appartment.
From: Hannah Styles
ONE FUCKING DIRECTION IS HAVING A CONTEST FOR THEIR 6TH MEMBER. WHY DIDN'T GOD GIFT ME WITH THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL. BUT YOU KNOW WHO DOES HAVE ONE? YOU. YOU SHOULD TRY OUT CAROLINE, PLEASE FOR ME.
-H
I must admit reading the message caused my face to light up with joy. I smiled and texted her back.
To: Hannah Styles
That actually sounds cool. What time are the try out things?
-C
I was actually starting to feel really excited about this.
From: Hannah Styles
Today from 1pm to 6pm. PLEASE go try out!
-H
I thought for a moment and decided it couldn't hurt to try. I texted Hannah bye and decided to send Liam a quick message.
To: Liam
Hey Liam. I'm not sure you remember me, I mean for all I know you always comfort crying girls, but I wanted to tell you I'm trying out for that whole 6th member thing today :) See you there?
-C
I started flipping through my music and couldn't find anything good enough for the contest. I decided to go on the internet. Then my phone buzzed.
To: Liam
Of course I remember you! That's awesome, hope you're talented :)
-Liam
I smiled and went back to my internet search.

I shrugged and listened to both, after awhile I finally decided on a song. At around 11 I got up and went into my room to get dressed so I could get there early.
I changed into a cute outfit and grabbed my guitar. I left my apartment and drove to the local civic center, where everything was being held. I parked my car and walked to the front of the building to find tons of girls standing around, some where dancing. Some where singing, some just screaming.
I waited in line for a while outside and once I finally got to the desk at the front I was met with a strict woman.
"Name?" She spat.
"Caroline Hamilton" I said, scared.
"Age"
"16" I answer.
She then handed me a piece of paper with a number and a sticky back so I could put it on my shirt. I took it and slapped it on. I walked over and sat on the concrete steps, deciding to start singing.
"Well you only need the light when it's burning low" I started to sing and I noticed a few people turning around, "Only miss the sun when it starts to snow"
"Only know you love her when you let her go" A blonde girl had joined in now.
"Only know you've been high when you're feeling low" We sang together, as a few other girls started to join in.
"Only hate the road when you're missing home" There were about ten people singing now,"Only know you love her when you let her go"
Then my number was called, and I had to leave. A woman in her mid twenties brought me to a big stage. I looked at the lonely stool in the middle of the stage with a mic and spotlight. I took in a breath and walked over, sitting down.
"CAroline?!" I heard Liam's voice and looked up to see five boys, including Liam sitting at a table a few rows into the audience chairs.
"Liam!" I smiled and he smiled widely back.
"What will you be singing, love?" Liam asked.
"Shake it Out by Florence and The Machine" I smiled.
"And your name, beautiful?" Louis asked with a cheeky grin.
"Caroline" I smiled.
"Hellllloooo Caroline" Harry whispered and laughed, then he realized he said it into the microphone and blushed.
"go ahead, pretty" Zayn smiled. I was a bit upset that Niall hadn't said anything, because while looking them up I thought he was really cute.
Once I finished singing Shake It Out they were all clapping and Louis was standing up on the table, clapping.
"That was great" Harry grinned, ear to ear.
"Absolutely amazing, love that song!" Louis smiled down at me.
"I think you were amazing Caroline. I mean I hoped you would be good, but that was breath taking" LIam smiled, "What about you?" He said, looking over at the blonde boy. I couldn't help but look at him with big eyes.
"It...it was...uhm..perfect" He blushed and I blushed like crazy.
"Well thanks for coming out, Caroline" Liam said and jogged down the steps and ran onto the stage, giving me a big hug. I smiled as Harry and Louis ran down the steps too, standing beside me.
"Hug?" Harry smiled and I nodded, pulling him into a hug.
"I want one too" Louis said, his eyes bright. I smiled as he hugged me so hard he almost knocked me over.
"Well, Caroline. When I get the results, I have your number, so I'll text you" Liam said and I nodded while Louis was still attached to my side.
"Wait, Liam has your number?" Harry asked, taken back, "I want it"
I laughed and wrote my number on Harry's hand with a smiled.
"Oh, me too" Louis smiled and held his hand out. He really was a kid at heart.
I ended up giving my number to all the boys and then going home.
~Later That Night~
I was sitting around in my pajamas ( cgi/set?id=94227665) watching TV when I got a three texts. One was from Liam, one from Louis, and one Harry.
I opened Liam's first.
From: Liam
Caroline/ contestant number 008712693. We, One Direction, would like to first say thanks for entering our contest. We are also happy to say, you Caroline Hamilton are the newest member of one direction! Okay it's real Liam now, I had to send the message they gave me first. I'm so happy to have you in 1D!
I just about had a heart attack at the text and took a few seconds to dance around my room before looking at the other texts.
From: Harry
Congrats! You made it beautiful! Can't wait to see you again ;) xx
I smiled and blushed at Harry's text then opened Louis'.
From: Louis
Great job! Glad to hear you made it! Too proud of you! When you get this, Skype us! The username is :notonedirection
I laughed a little at the username and opened my laptop. I opened Skype and called Louis. I was greeted with Harry in the very front and Liam and Louis on either side of him.
"Hey guys, thank you so much for picking me!" I smiled widely.
"No problem, we loved you" Harry smiled back.
"Hi Caroline!" Louis said as he pushed Harry over and took his spot in the front.
"Hey Louis" I laughed.
"Okay well since you'll be living with us now, we'll come over tomorrow and help you pack and talk to your parents and everything" Liam said and I smiled and nodded.
"That's sounds cool" I smiled, "But uh, I live alone in an apartment. So yeah you guys can come over and help me pack" I smiled.
Then I started to notice Niall and Zayn hadn't been in the video the whole time.
"Hey, where are the other two?" I asked.
"Want to see them?" Harry asked with a mischievous grin and I nodded as Louis giggled, "Just keep hush hush, they're having a heart to heart"
"Okay" I laughed as Harry sneaked the computer into a room with Niall and Zayn sitting on teh couch talking.
"Can I tell you something?" Niall asked Zayn and Zayn nodded.
"Yeah of course"
"I think I might like- wait. Did you hear that?" Niall asked looking over in my direction. I panicked and shut my laptop. I sighed and decided to get some sleep.
