A Week Later
In the week time, everyone had been over to celebrate Loren coming back/Loren going on X Factor. At the current time, Loren was putting on a sexy blue and white dress.
It was werid. Loren was the only judge with an open, actual romantic relationship. Rumors flied about Demi and Simon dating, not eachother (age? *shudder*), but they never specified.
They walked out the door and to the limo, one like the other judges. Eddie was getting in a different way. He got out and the limo started pulling up to a different stop. Simon;s, L.A.'s, and Demi's limos were ahead of hers and she watched them get out and then the crowd. Her's pulled up and it was silent as the door opened. It went crazy went Loren stepped out. People were scream her name and holding their things and holding out to touch her hands. She waved and signed a few autographs and she got to the other judges.
"These are your X Factor judges!" Simons exclaimed. "Music producer, L.A. Reid! Popstar Demi Lovato! Newest Up and Coming Artist, Loren Duran! And me!" He exclaimed and the crowd cheered. They went inside to have a big celebration. The four of them sat at the table and Eddie joined, which was fine with the rest of the because they understood that husband and wife sat together.
"Well, first, we're going to Sans Fransico. Then Austin, then heading, as I know crazy talent will be there, Las Vegas, then Miami, then lastly Providence." Simon said.
"So we get an angle of every part of the country?" L.A. asked.
"Yeah." Simon said.
"And when do we leave for Sans Fransico?" Demi asked.
"Three days." Loren's eyes nearly bugged out her head. She knew she'd be talking to Eddie a lot more about this that night. She nodded and the night went on uneventful. They arrived home later an dthey already began to talk.
"Three days?"Eddie exclaimed.
"Eddie, remember, I told you I'd be visiting you everytime I could and talking to you at night over Skype and phone."
"I know I'm just going to miss you."
"Back atcha." Loren smiled.
Three Days Later
They were in the jet on the way to Sans Fransico. Loren was sending another text to Melissa and Adriana, who both wouldn't stop when she heard someone behind her.
"Hi." Someone said and Loren turned to see Demi.
"Hey, Demi."
"How's it going?" Demi said.
"Alright. I'm getting countless texts from my friends."
"Well, are you excited?" Demi asked.
"Yeah, totally. I've watched every episode."
"I know. I kinda got obsessed with it last season. I even threw a personal tantram when my favorite person got voted off."
"Me too. I was so upset. Eddie just thought I was werid for getting so into the show." Loren and Demi laughed and suddenly, Simon and L.A. appeared behind Loren. They turned around.
"So ladies, excited?" L.A. asked.
"Yeah, of course."
"Yeah, they worst that can happen is you get cold feet, forget everything your supposed to say, and run out." Simon joked and it didn't bother one bit. She got over her stage fright a long time ago.
"Yeah." Loren joked sarcastically. "That's the worst." They all laughed. They felt the plane descending and they all buckled up.
Once the plane stopped and landed, they grabbed their stuff and walked out. She crowd was screaming as the walked up to the airport. They got in their seperate limo's and drove to where the first round of auditions were being held first. They saw the screaming fans and each got out and recieved the crowd screaming. They went back stage and got their makeup done. Loren was wearing a short flowery, kind of poofy dress. They announced the judges and Simon spoke for a bit before sitting down and beginning the auditions. On the end was Simon, then Demi, the Loren, then L.A.
They saw a girl Paige Thomas first and gave her all yes. They had a few bad acts before what looked like a fifty year old man walked on stage.
"Hello." Simon popped another mint into his mouth, compliments of Demi. "What's your name?"
"Shawn Arementa." He said.
"And how old are you and what do you do?"
"I'm fity years old and I'm a bagger. I do not want to do that for the rest fo my life."
"How much work did you put into this, Shawn?"
"About a year and six months."
"Wow. So what will you be singing?"
"An original song called Candy Girl."
"Okay. Sing." Simon said and Shawn started to do a werid and bad dance before singing horribly. He finished and we were speechless.
"Shawn, I'm going to be completely honest with you. That was like a mouse trying to be an elephant. It-it's just wrong." Shawn stood there for a second.
"No, I work to figgin' hard for this." He said and Loren decided to speak up.
"A lot of people try hard for their dreams, but it's not meant for everyone."
"That's why you autotune and I don't." Shawn said and Loren looked shocked.
"Woah, woah, woah." L.A. said.
"You need to get off stage." Simon said.
"I want to know who let you on stage." Demi said.
"Get off stage now." L.A. said. They all defended her,
"I don't need this. I don't need amteur hour."
"Goodbye then!" L.A exclaimed.
"Goodbye, I'm a better writer then you." he said as he walked off stage and Loren turned to Demi .
"Was he serious? Seriously?" Loren said. They watched a woman walk on stage and Loren started chocking when she saw the contestant.
"Name?" Demi said.
"Chloe Carter." Chloe said, holding a vase of flowers,
"Who are the flowers for?" L.A. asked.
"Ms. Loren." Chloe smirked. L.A. turned to Loren, giving her a look, 'What's going on?'
"Chloe, why do you think you can win the contest?" Simon said.
"I think I am very talented." Loren stiffled back laugheter, letting some through, earning her mouthing some colorful words from Chloe.
"Do you know her?" Simon went on asking what she was going to sing as L.A. whispered and Loren nodded.
"Something In The Air." Chloe smiled evily, putting the flowers down.
"Okay, sing." Simon said and Chloe began to sing bad and Loren could barely hold back laughter.
Well, Chloe. You want honesty?" Simon asked and I knew this was going to be bad. Chloe nodded.
"It sounded like you got into a fight with Eddie Duran, got very very drunk, and decided to scream the song at him." Loren and Demi chuckled a bit, Loren at the irony.
"Can I just give the flowers to Loren?" She asked and Simon nodded and Chloe stepped off stage and put the flowers on the table and Loren started to smell and touch them but saw what kind of flowers they were and shoved herself away from the table.
"What?" L.A. asked, startled.
"Oh my god. Those are California pepperberries! I'm extremely allergic to those. Those almost killed me!" Loren exclaimed. She looked up and saw Chloe smirking. "Chloe, wipe that smirk off your face. I'm getting a lawyer and you know why. You'll finally go to jail for what you did."
"You two know eachother?" Demi asked. Loren didn't answer, just walked around to teh front of the table.
"Chloe, I'm going to make sure you go to jail for murdering Eddie's mom and man slaughter for my son or daughter." Loren whispered.
"You know about that?" Chloe exclaimed, shocked.
"I do now." Loren smirked. "Now, take the flowers and leave." Loren walked back around and sat down. Chloe just ran up the stairs and back stage.
"Why is she so hostile?" Demi whispered to Loren.
"She thinks I stole Eddie from her and she's trying to get him back. Repeadly. She'll do anything." Loren whispered. "I don't see how she knew I was allergic to those flowers." They watched two guys come on stage who looked fancy and had sunglasses on.
"Take the glasses off." L.A. said and they did but one had freaky white contacts on. "No, you put your back on." He said.
"No, I kinda like it. It's zombie like." Simon said.
"Simon gets it. Zombie." The guy with the contacts said and soon enough, they were rapping, and walking out into the audience and Demi and Loren were laughing. They went back on stage and the music stopped and they gave them four yes's. It was time for a break so they to the back and Loren called Eddie.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Eddie." Loren smiled.
"Hey, how are the auditions going?"
"You won't believe who showed up and tried to audition."
"Who?"
"Chloe. And some how, she knew what flowers I was allergic to and she brung them and I nearly sniffed them. I could have easily been killed by her stunt." Loren said.
"Chloe was at the auditions?! She will not stop at anything."
"You know, we should get a restraining order on her." Loren suggested.
"We both know she'll ignore it." Eddie said.
"You're right. Well, I need to get back to auditions." Loren said and hung up with Eddie as Demi walked down the hall.
"Can you tell me what happened with Chloe?"
"She, as everyone knows, was engaged to Eddie about 3 years ago. I won Eddie's contest and he found out she was cheating on him. She though I was a block to get Eddie back, especially when we dated. She went as far as teaming up with a girl in my school who hated me. That's right before she accused him of pushing her of his father's terrace and that's when he was missing. She still has a grudge on me." They started walking towards the stage room. "I don't understand how she knew I was allergic to those flowers."
"Wow, I don't think I've ever met someone that crazy." Demi said.
"She's the first." They walked back in and the crowd went crazy again. They smiled and sat down. The auditions started back again and the rest of the two weeks were uneventful.
