Memory.

Louis' POV

The show ended and I stood up to give a standing ovation. I had noticed that my little black cat had stopped looking at me about half way through the show. Instead her attention was fixated on Niall. I think it was because he was being obnoxious the entire show. He even touched the actors. I mean, who does that? I really wanted to say something until I realized I was just being jealous that she was paying attention to him and not me.

I was caught of guard and still clapping when I realized everyone else had stopped because my little kitten was spotlighted. I quickly sat back down and paid attention. She had the cutest little voice, completely different from her sexy, deep solo lines she had in the show. I was in a bit of shock when she said her name. It was Sydney. The Sydney I was going to be on tour with for the next three months. The Sydney I was going to help with her and Theresa's first single. The Sydney who was more interested in Niall then she was me. For that moment I had completely forgotten about Eleanor. Of course, Eleanor. I loved her, she was beautiful. I still couldn't help but be attracted to Sydney; there was no harm in a little flirtation anyway.

She finished her speech and I had no clue what she had said, but the audience was applauding again. I looked down to check my phone and saw her standing there instead.

"Hey, do you guys want to donate?"

She swayed side to side with her bowl, biting her lower lip.

"Yeah, yeah," Harry said, reaching into his pocket. The rest of us did the same and each gave her about five dollars.

"Thank you so much! Have a lovely evening." She spoke and flashed a smile at Niall who was giddy with the attention. She turned to walk away before Harry called out to her, "Wait!"

"What can I help you with?" She asked, legitimately confused.

"You're Sydney Stewart, right?"

"Yes I am. Do you guys need to talk to the director?"

"No, uhh, I'm Harry. And this is Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis."

"Well hello, Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall." She emphasized Niall's name, it was apparent that she was a really big flirt.

"Do you not know what we're doing here?"

"Not a clue."

"Well, you did a cover of our song 'What Makes You Beautiful' with Theresa Garner."

"That was your guy's song? You're One Direction?"

"Yeah, we are."

"Well that's cool, but it still doesn't explain what you're doing here."

"I guess it must have been Theresa who entered our contest then, but you guys won. You're going on tour with us, and you're being signed by Sony entertainment."

"You gotta be shitting me, woman." She responded. I never expected such a word to come out of her mouth. I thought it was cute that she really had no idea.

"No," Niall intervened. "We saw your video and it was amazing. Your voices were perfect and the ukulele was the cutest thing we've ever seen."

"Well thanks," she smiled. "Hey, let me go get Theresa really quick."

She scattered off to go get Theresa, but not before jumping in the air and clicking her heels together. I looked over at Niall and saw the biggest grin spread across his face, he liked the little leprechaun.

Theresa's POV

I saw Sydney bouncing over to me as I hugged my sister. She must just be on an endorphin rush.

"Look at I'm Theresa Lee, lousy with virginity. Won't go to bed 'till I'm legally wed, I can't I'm Theresa Lee!" She sang as she often did when trying to get my attention.

"How can I help you, babygirl?" I asked her and she came and put her arm around my shoulders.

"So, you know how we did the cover of the One Direction song, and then you entered it into some contest without telling me?"

"Erm, yes, how did you find out? Am I in trouble?"

"Well, you are in trouble. But I found out because, well, One Direction is here right now."

"WHAT?" I screamed. She has to be messing with me. I totally would have noticed their beautiful presence if they were here. Granted, they could have been in the back of the theater, because they didn't want to get mobbed. But no, why would they be here? Unless, we won, that would explain how Sydney knew. But we would never have won, there were so many other great people, they probably never even saw our video.

I got my answer when I saw one of the freshmen in the audience point and shout, "IT'S ONE DIRECTION!"

There was a group of ten running towards the front now. Some were crying, some were screaming, some were silent. Sydney grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the commotion.

She pushed her way through the girls who were taking pictures and getting autographs.

"Hey guys," she said, completely calm. I always envied her for having this natural charisma; she could talk to anyone as if they were her best friend for ages.

"It's one di-di-di-di," I stammered.

"Direction." All the boys finished simultaneously. They were even more attractive in person, if that was even possible.

"So, you guys liked our cover?" I asked; trying to make sure this was real.

"Yeah," Liam responded. "It was really great, and cute."

Liam Payne just said our song was cute. Oh my good golly gee. All of a sudden the room started spinning and the last thing I remember was Sydney saying, "Theresa, we did it. Our dreams came true."
