I open KERRANG! and read through it. Sadly, the part on 'The Morticians Daughter' is the only thing in it that is even remotely interesting. We get changed and I put my hair up in my black beanie, which Cameron makes fun of. I go up to his ear and whisper; "Nerdy Glasses?" He looks at me in shock. "Did you just go there!" He asks and I hold out my hand. "Truce?" He nods. "Sure, truce." He shakes it and we walk out to the stage snd see Robert with Zach. "Hello Contestants." Robert says with a smile. "Hi." We say back.

Marissa takes my hand and I half smile. "First of all, Congratulations Samuel, for winning this weeks homework assignment, you may go back into the house, you will not be doing a last chance performance for Ryan tonight." He smiles. "Thank you." He says with his eyebrows raised. I wink at him and turn back around.

"Nicola. Marissa. Lindsay." Zach says and we look at each other. "You will be coming back next week and will not have to perform for Ryan tonight." We smile and thank him before walking through the main door. We walk down the hall a little and then look at each other, we smile and sprint to the living area. Samuel gets up and hugs us. "Congrats." He says in turn and we smile. "You too." I say and he scrunches his mouth to the side.

Cameron, Emily and Hannah walk in and we hug them too. "Another week." Cameron says and Samuel high fives him. "Another week bro." He says back and I hug him. I walk over to Hannah and Emily. I hug Hannah and Emily gives me an accepting nod. I hold out my arms and she smiles a little and hugs me. "Another week to bitch." She says and I nod. "Of course." I say with a wink. I lie up on the bed with Lindsay and Marissa. Cameron and Samuel sit on two chairs and wait. After 10 minutes we hear footsteps and turn around; Damian.

Lindsay jumps off her seat and we all walk over to hug him. "Thank God." He says before hugging Marissa. "I couldn't face Ryan two weeks in a row." He says while hugging Samuel. He walks over to me and I nod. "I didn't doubt you for a second brother." He nods. "Good to know sis." He hugs me and walks over to Hannah and Emily. We all sit together and realise that MyKynleigh, Alex and Matheus are all singing for their places. "I don't know how you guys did this." I say and get up and walk to the kitchen. I get a glass of water and look at the table; another spare seat tomorrow. "You don't like the waiting part, huh?" I turn around and see Marissa and shake my head. "No." She nods. "Imagine how we felt last week." I smile and she boils the kettle for coffee. "Want one?" I shake my head and she smiles. "So, which is worse? Performing for Ryan Murphy, or waiting on someone to be judged by Ryan Murphy?" I nod. "Being judged." I say and she laughs to herself. "I've got that to look forward to." I smile and walk back in. Damian is sitting in the corner with Samuel and Cameron. Lindsay is reading a magazine and Hannah is watching TV with Emily. I turn around and walk out, I sit out at the fire exit and a shiver runs down my spine.

MyKynleigh; Nice, but too much of a gossip.

Alex: Too much drama, but an amazing singer.

Matheus: Funny, But never really speaks to me.

I rub my arm and look at the skyline. "Room for one more?" I look up at the slightly opened door and at the tall guy with blonde hair and nerdy glasses staring back at me. "Sure." I say and move from the door so he can sit down. "What's up?" I ask and he shrugs. "Just waiting." I nod. "Yeah." I say and he looks up at the sky. "You miss her?" I ask and he looks at me. "Yeah." I smile. "You really love her." I say with a smile and he nods. "Almost two years ago, I told her I loved her." I smile and he nods while looking at the sky. "I asked her to be mine, she said yes." He smiles but it quickly turns to a frown. "What's wrong?" He shrugs and looks me in the eye. "She didn't seem to happy about me getting it to final 12." I nod. "She probably just didn't want you to leave." He smiles. "What about you? Ever been in love?" I think back to Niall. "I think I was." I say and he nods. "So you're not sure? You will." I smile. "She's lucky Cameron." I say and he smiles. The door opens and Emily looks at us. "They'll be back any minute." We nod and get up. "You are freezing." Cameron says to me while helping me up. "I'm ok." I say as we walk into the house. We walk into the living area and I sit with Lindsay. They walk in and hug us immediately. and sit down. We sit in silence and then there are footsteps. I look up and the three of them have tear-stained cheeks. I bite my lip and Robert opens the door.

"Well guys, the list is up." Robert says before walking out. We hug them all and have a group hug. They walk out and we watch them. I turn around and see Samuel. I wrap my arms around his waist and he puts his hand on my hair. We hear two people jumping- and silence. We look at each other and tears escape.
