Part 7
I slipped into my floor length dress. It was a purple dress that clung to my chest and flowed out at my waist. I slipped into my heels and excited my dressing room. My curly hair is pilled up on top of my head. I had a few curls falling down over my face and a single gold hairband threaded through my hair. I had two delicate golden earring pinned into my ears and a small gold ring on my left index finger. I grabbed my phone and looked at the text I had just received.
-Meet me in the cupboard round the corner from the fire exit. H xxxx
I knew which one he meant. I snapped my phone shut and slipped it into my bra. I excited my dressing room and looked left and right. The corridor was busy that if I walked casually down the corridor no one would notice me. I walked down looking around to see if anyone was watching. I reached the end and carefully looked about before slipping down the little corridor and stopping in front of the store cupboard. I knocked on the door and it opened, I stepped in looking around making sure we weren't going to get caught. As soon as I walked in two arms wrapped around me and pushed me against the wall. I giggled as he shut the door with his foot. His lips crushed onto mine, I could sense the passion in his lips. I kissed him back with just as much passion. He took my weight while I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist. My dress slid down my leg, He kissed my neck as he slid his finger up and down my leg raising goosebumps.
"I love you." He moaned into my neck. It sent shivers down my spine, I felt Harry chuckle.
"I love you too." He crushed his lips back to mine. I moaned ever so slightly. He pulled away slightly,
"Do you want to meet your mother?" I looked at him in confusion.
"Yeah I do."
"Then I promise I will find her for you." I thought he was joking but the look in his eyes told me otherwise. I just brought his lips back to mine. The fact that mine and Harry's love was forbidden was even more exciting and made me love him more. It was these moments that I craved for. My phone vibrated, I pulled my face away from Harry's and he carried on kissing my collar bone and neck. I opened my phone and gazed at the text,
-Where are you? You go on in 10 minutes. Kaite xxx
I sighed and snapped my phone shut. I looked back at Harry, he knew I had to go. He gave me one last kiss on my lips, his lips felt as soft as the inside of the rose.
"I need to go." He sighed.
"I know." I put my feet back down on the floor and he stepped away, I straightened myself out and looked back at Harry.
"Good luck." He whispered. I smiled at him and gave him on last kiss before I left the little cupboard. Luckily no one was about so I ran down the hallway and down the corridor. I chucked my phone in my dressing room and ran towards the stage. I made it just in time. The sound guys got me all ready. My mic was already on the stage in a stand. I heard Cheryl announce my name and my VT run.
"IVORY NICOLES!" I breathed deeply and walked onto stage as Prince's Purple Rain began to play. I walked up the steps and onto the raised platform. I grabbed my mic stand and sang softly into the mic. I felt the words and sang them with feeling. I closed my eyes and outstretched my arm. I sang Purple Rain with so much emotion all the time, memories flooding back. When I would dance around with Amber and Brittany. I ran my fingers up the mic stand. I outstretched my hand and sang to the audience and to the cameras. I bent my elbow and clenched my hand into a fist. I shook my head and placed my hands on the mic stand again. Again the memories flooding back like the time Amber fell over and scrapped her knee, I ran her back into the house were Purple rain was playing in the living room. That time I had taught the twins how to dance to Prince and they won the talent show. These memories I would treasure forever. I finished the song and dropped my hand to my side. I picked up my dress and carefully walked down the steps of the stage and towards the judges. I watched as the crowd were on their feet cheering. I smiled through the happy tears.
"Well Ivory. I could tell you were tapping into some emotions there. You sang that really well but I personally wouldn't consider Prince as a Hero…?" Boos were heard throughout the audience, I felt like going over to Louis and slapping him. Seriously what an idiot.
"Well I disagree with Louis, Prince was a hero to me. Well done Ivory you did yourself proud." I smiled at Danii and looked over at Simon.
"Okay seriously Louis what are you on? Look Ivory you sang that well and the person who criticized you put Wagner through. Surly that is telling you something?" I laughed at him. I looked over at Cheryl who smiled back at me.
"Ivory forget Louis, he is just a grumpy man. You are the next big thing. I promise I will get you to the top." I grinned at her. I turned to face Dermont as he walked towards me.
"Some comments eh? Anything to say." I coughed once and talked into his mike.
"Louis, this weeks theme was 'Heros' it did not specify that it should be your heros. Prince is my Hero and Cheryl knows that. That is why I sang my favourite song by Prince. Because he is My hero." The whole room burst into applause and all the judges clapped and laughed at my come back. Louis sat there looking defeated. I smiled into the camera as Dermont said my details. I walked off stage and pushed past the tech guys. I knew my mum would be waiting for me backstage. I ran down the hall eager to see her. I saw here in a long black dress, her dark hair pilled up on her head. She looked young and fresh. I ran to her and she opened her arms. I fell into her and hugged her tight.
"That was amazing Ivory, I had no idea you could sing that song like that!" I smiled into her shoulder.
"I had good teachers." She chuckled. I let go and stepped back. She admired me, I felt my cheeks flush pink.
"I still can't believe you are doing this! My 8 year old girl grew up!" She exclaimed. I giggled. I was never her 8 year old girl. I was my own mothers girl. I suppose I was technically her girl seeing as I knew no other mother. It did pain me to think that I night never know my mum. Then, at that moment I knew I wished and prayed that Harry will find my parents and I will be reunited with my family. But how long will it be till that day?
