At the live results
Liam's POV
We stood there. Just stood there. The results of our future on a tiny piece of paper. "In no particular order, Rebecca ferguson you…are safe. Please go back stage," the host called. She jumped up and down and ran off the stage crying. I felt glad for her, but I still felt horrible. "Aiden Grimshaw!" he yelled next. Aiden hugged Danni and ran off as well. "Matt Cardle!" Dermot yelled. He did his victory dance and ran off. "Mary!" he shouted again. It took her a bit longer to get off the stage. "One Direction!" he yelled. I jumped and hugged Harry and Louis fell to his knees. Niall hugged Aid so tight, and Zayn practically jumped on my back. The crowd scream and cheered as we ran off the stage.
I stood there waiting by the steps. Cher stood up there, not called yet. "F.Y.D!" he yelled again. "Damn it," I hissed. "Wagner." Still not what I wanted. "Storm!" he said. Again, not what I wanted. "Diva…fever." Great. They were coming back. "Trayc Cohen." Only a few more stayed up there. "Cher Lloyd!" he yelled. More relief. She ran off the stage crying and jumped into my arms. "I'm proud of you," I whispered. "You to," she returned. "Not too shabby Cher," Louis commended. "You weren't too bad yourself," she said grinning.
We watched from the sidelines as Nicolo performed his save me song. I wasn't his biggest fan I enjoyed watching him cry over leaving. "Um, could Cher Lloyd and F.Y.D return to the stage?" Dermot announced. I watched her walk away and I feared that this was it for her. "Now the shocking twist is that this is a double elimination," he said slowly. I almost fell to my knees. "But, one of these contestants has the least votes and doesn't get to perform the save me song. That act is…" he said, leaving us to ponder. "F.Y.D!" he yelled. "Sorry gentleman but you've been eliminated." I didn't understand why he brought Cher up in the first place until he spoke again.
"Now, Cher. You've received the most votes and have been awarded a free five pond shopping spree with one other female contestant. Choose now please," he said even slower. I smiled wide knowing how well she did. I was hoping she would take Aid, and she did. She came back over and hugged me again. "I'm even prouder of you know super star." She kissed my cheek when she thought we were safe from the camera's.
Niall's POV
"So, how about that date?" I asked Adriana as I stepped next to her. "Yes well, a deals a deal. I guess I'll put myself through the torture," she said. "Oh, you don't have to." She giggled and confused me a bit. "I'm kidding. I can't wait for our date. But we have to keep it private. I don't think Simon would approve of his best act as headliners for a romance," she explained. Relief swept through me and I felt so much more relaxed. "So then what do you want to do?" I asked. "I have an idea. After my shopping spree with Cher tomorrow, you and Liam meet up with us?" she asked. "Yeah, I'll talk to him about it and let you know in the morning. It's like a double date but would only seem like groups celebrating? You genius you," I commended.
The drive home was amazing. I felt so happy. Of course, it was only the members of one direction and Simon in the car. "I'm very proud of you lot. Speaking of lot, Pixie Lott contacted us. She wants to do some work with you. She'll be at your next rehearsal. Respect guys. Anyway, I'm going to get going," he said, leaving the limo. "Pixie Lott boys! And girl," Zayn said bouncing around. "Yeah…I'm not a big Pixie Lott fan," said Louis.
The next day
Liam's POV
I sat in the back of the car with Niall. "Why am I doing this?" I asked. "Well, I need it. I can't just date Aid without people noticing. Plus, you get to go on a date with Cher," he said suggestively. "I'm sold." "Get your head in the game and out of the gutter Payne," he taunted. "Shut up!" I said hitting his shoulder.
We stepped out of the car and into the café we were meeting the girls at. They were already at a table and of course there were photographers by the glass window. I sat next to Niall, across from Cher. She was smiling at me, I returned the smile. "Hey you," she said. "Hi to you to," I regarded. "How's the day going?" I asked her. "Brilliant. We bought a ton of stuff," she said. "Sounds like a good time," I said smiling at her. She was truly beautiful.
Adriana's POV
I didn't want to tell Niall about the rings Cher and I bought for him and Liam. Niall was adorable, and completely handsome, but I didn't want to freak him out or anything. I really liked him and I didn't want to screw it up. "What have you boys been up to?" I asked. "Oh you know, guys stuff," Liam said cockily. "Niall?" Cher asked. "Mary made us clean our room. Then Louis, Zayn, and Harry went to the studio to meet up with Pixie Lott," he muttered. "That's better," I said sarcastically smiling.
Louis's POV
Pixie sat at the end of a meeting table that only I and the boys sat at. "How about singing some bars boys?" she asked. I couldn't help but notice her beauty. Zayn went first. His performance was practically bone chilling. I didn't know how I was going to follow that up. Then Harry sang with such passion, it was unbearable. I thought I wasn't a fan, but I tried thinking of her to see if it would help at all. It did, a lot. She went over exercises with us until then end. "Louis, wait a second," she said as the other two left. I preparing for how much trouble I got my way into. "I really like your voice. I was wondering if I could do more private work with you. I really think I can help you raise your performance level," she offered. "Yeah that'd be great," I said and followed the others out. I couldn't wait.
