DISCLAIMER: I don't own NBCTheVoice and I most certainly don't own the people in the show like judges and the host. However I own some original characters that you'll get to know them one by one.

Hi there!

So here's a new chap!

Enjoy...

Chap8_Holy Shit I'm On TV!

I laugh at a joke Jake just said along with others. Hopefully I see Anna's laughing too, with her hands around Alex's shoulder. I shake my head and enjoy my time. All our friends in college are here with us. We're in our favorite bar and we're drinking and having fun. Last night The Voice was aired for the first time for two hours though I wasn't in the first episode. I was concentrating only on Adam, the way he smiled when he heard something beautiful, the way he laughed at Blake's comments, the way he closed his eyes and got in his almost praying mood and listened, the way he pushed his button, the way he felt happy when he got picked. I watched the show with Anna, eating pop corns and making jokes about everything Cee Lo said about girls. One of my friends, Jessie, suddenly says:

_S, don't you wanna watch Voice tonight? Maybe you'll be in tonight's episode.

What? I thought Voice is airing only on Mondays.

_What are you saying? It's on Mondays only.

Everyone except Anna and I are laughing now. I raise my eyebrows at Anna and she shrugs like she doesn't know either. Jessie says again:

_Idiot, it's twice the week this year. Actually, it's staring… NOW!

Anna and I let out a scream at the same time. Anna jumps out of her chair and asks bar's manager to turn the TV on and switch it to NBC. We all move closer to TV and in a matter of minutes the show starts…

An hour passed already. I'm gonna go get some more beer and then I hear a loud scream. They all call my name and I run back to them. I can tell everyone's eyes are on us. I look at the screen and Holy Shit! I'm on TV! It all happens so fast. I see myself answering to Carson's questions, walking behind the stage praying, going on the stage. I hear myself sing and I smile. I get all kind of shoves from my friends. Other people in the bar come closer and watch my blind audition. Tim, the bartender gives me a beer and says it's on the house. I take it and drink it when Adam turns around. God, the way he smiled when he was listening to me. I'm feeling high, I'm not on the ground now. Blake throws his hands in the air and turns around. Cee Lo watches him turning around and he pushes his button too. The camera moves to backstage with Carson and Anna. I see her jumping on Carson and I laugh out loud while she's being kissed by Alex. I see Christina struggling with herself and then she pushes her button too. I see my shocked face on TV and I grin. The song ends and the expression my face is priceless. I watch them fight over me and then I choose Adam. I move a little closer to TV to see Adam and I hugging. His hands are around me and I notice, again, that his hand stays on my back a little longer than usual. I smirk at the scene in front of me and I think I know why he was avoiding me in the practicing of the battle rounds. I move backstage and then camera shows me laughing and hugging Anna. Carson is smiling as usual and he congratulates me. Then after a line from Carson the show goes for a break. My friends start cheering and dancing around me. I laugh and drink at the same time. I know they want a really good party soon. My cell vibrates in my pocket and I get a little away from the crowd. I got a text from...him. I open the text and it says:

_Congratulations. U deserved it…

I'm so shocked I can't think straight. So he watched the show to see me? It was… sweet. I hear the show's theme song and I know the show's back on. It makes me realize I have a purpose now, and I'm not gonna let down myself, not anymore. I delete the text and get back to my friends. We need to party.

I can't believe it. It's been only a day since my appearance on TV and people wanted my pictures and my Twitter account. I was walking in the mall this morning and two teenagers came to me and asked if they could take a picture with me. It was all new to me but I acted cool and took the picture. I even had a laugh or two before we went our separate ways. The funny thing is that one of the shopkeepers asked me if I could hook her up with Cee Lo! I said I'll try though I know I won't do that. Some people asked me if we're passed the battle rounds and I said yes but I didn't tell them I won the battle. It's the rule. Although the probably found out the truth with the huge grin I had on my face when they started talking about the battle rounds. I finally get to Anna's place and pack my things. I wanna get back to my own apartment cause it's time for me to start thinking about the live shows and practicing and I can't do it with all the partying around me. I get a cab and go to my own apartment. After taking a long shower I fall on the couch in front of the TV. I turn the TV on and switch channels. There's nothing good on so I turn it off and start lying on the couch. I think about Adam, and what he's doing now. Probably hanging with his supermodel girlfriend. I didn't like her, she looked so empty. She wasn't as beautiful as everyone said she was, and she seemed rather cold. I focus on him only. What if he's so in love with his girlfriend and I'm just wasting my time. I should care about music, not only about him. Yeah, that's it. I'm focusing so much on him, I should focus on what I wanna do with my voice and staying on the competition. Then, when I'd feel I'm in a good place I'll concentrate on him and eventually make him mine. Sounds like a good plan to me! I'm so tires, I feel sleep taking over me.

With a loud sound, I hit the floor. WTF?! My cell's ringing and I realize I slept the whole night on the couch and when I heard my ringtone I fell off it. I groan and swear under my breath. It better not be him or I'll deal with it once and for all. It's Anna. I sigh and pick it up. She wants to throw another party. Seriously, this girl has no life. Sometimes she reminds me of Paris Hilton, her fucking idol! I say I don't have the time for partying and she gets mad. After a lot of blabbing from Anna, I accept to go to her party. There's a pause and she quietly says:

_wellitsnotmyparty…

I can't understand what she's saying. I say "what?" and I hear her start slowly:

_Listen, don't get mad at me… I'm not throwing a party, I was just convincing you to come to "a" party…

_What party?

_Well… It's a friend of Alex's party and I thought you should come cause Jake's coming too and you know, he's always alone so you should come too.

I know she's nervous and it's not good. She doesn't get nervous a lot. I take a deep breath and ask her:

_Anna, what's going on? Who is Alex's friend?

She is silent and then she blurts out:

_It's Max, he's throwing a party in the honor of The Wanted debuting in the U.S national TV.

I'm speechless. I can't believe she actually dared to ask me to go to a party, thrown by HIM. Well, not him but his friend. The party is about the boys and I know how it's gonna be like. Drinks, music, dancing, one night stands. I shiver at the thought of that. I hear my cracked voice:

_What did you just say?

She doesn't answer and I use this opportunity to shoot her with my words:

_You KNOW how I feel about him now, you KNOW I said I don't wanna see him again, you KNOW I hate him…

She interrupts me when I don't expect it:

_You don't hate him and you know it S. Stop fighting it. He was the love of your life and he still is. Just stop denying it.

_Where does this come from, huh? Did he come begging so you could convince me to meet him again? It's pathetic.

_He didn't beg me, he didn't even ask. He doesn't know that even I'm invited. Believe me S, I just want you to be happy.

_My happiness is being away from him, as far as possible.

_No it's not! You're not yourself. Can't you see you're changed? You're not the fun S I knew and loved.

_What's that supposed to mean? You don't love me anymore? Oh, my heart is broken!

She knows I'm mocking her but she still goes on:

_Believe it or not S, I care about you. I want you to be the girl you were a year ago. I want you to stop being this numb…

_I'm not numb! You don't get it Anna, cause all you do is partying and screwing boys. You're blind, a complete blind.

_Is this about Jake? You know I can't be with him. He's like a brother to me… And it's not me that matters right now, it's you. I may be a slut but I'm still your best friend.

_I'm happy now. I wanna do music, I wanna feel music. This is my life. This is the new me, whether you like it or not. I'm actually feeling a change. I feel all I did last year was mourning after a bastard and now I'm over it. I'm finally over it, you hear me? After all those pathetic tears and depression, I'm finally forgetting him. In fact, I forgot him already. And here you are, asking me to come to a party where he's the main guest…

I'm out of breath and heart broken. She's not talking and I don't talk either. Finally she starts talking:

_I'm sorry S, I didn't know… I was just… It was Alex's idea. He said he wanted to cheer you up and all. Don't be mad at me, alright? I love you, I love you so much I can't see you hurt. Just say you're already over it.

I'm not mad at her. No, she was just trying to help in her own way.

_I'm not mad at you but please don't bring it up, ever again. Promise?

_I promise! Gotta go, take care. Love ya!

_Love you too.

I hang up and stare at the phone for a minute. I meant what I said. I'm changed, and I'm getting on with my life…

So how was it?
