CHAPTER FOUR – She Cuts.

Sydney's POV

"Theresa, we did it. Our dreams came true," I whispered to Theresa as I saw her eyes close. There was a brief moment of silence as she dropped the ground, creating a large bang. I panicked, moving as quickly as I could to move her head from the wooden box it had collided with. The boys looked at me in terror, unaware of what they could do. I told them just to be quiet as I dashed off to get water and a cold compress.

By the time I got back she had regained consciousness and was being swarmed. Telling everyone to be quiet, I carefully lifted her up against myself. I put on the compress on her head and carefully fed her the water. I pet her hair as she drank, trying to remove her wig to the best of my ability. Her golden locks fell to the ground and shimmered off the lights.

Harry bent down next to me, "Is she going to be alright?"

"Yeah," I responded. "It's kind of funny, actually. She always said that if she ever met you, she'd probably faint. And well, she did."

The boys all laughed as she just stared. Eventually she managed enough power to sit up, still not saying a word.

"Well, what should we do know?" Zayn asked, growing impatient at the silence.

"FOOD!" Niall shouted.

"That's actually a good idea; she needs something in her system. Then we can talk and stuff. Do you guys want to meet at my house?" I asked, knowing that my parents wouldn't care.

"Sounds like a good idea, you guys go get dressed and we'll follow you." Zayn replied, nodding along with the other boys.

I carefully coaxed Theresa up and Phillip swooped her up in his arms. After twenty minutes of becoming a human again, we managed to get the boys and make our way to the cars. Theresa slid into the passenger's seat as I searched in my bag for my keys.

"Looking for these?"

I snapped my head up and saw Louis standing there dangling my keys in his hand.

"Interesting key-chains, a pink dolphin, a heart, a trainer, and a pig that when you squeeze it, it poops?"

"It's a long story," I replied, grabbing my keys out of his hand.

"Well, it's a good thing we'll have lots of time together for you to tell it." He winked. I couldn't believe he was actually trying to flirt with me, I wasn't even attractive.

I hit him in the shoulder and slid into my car, Audrey, we called her. As I shut the door I couldn't help but smile to myself as Niall waved to me from the window.

"I saw that." Theresa muttered.

I turned the color of a tomato as I backed out and headed towards home.

Louis' POV

I got into the drivers seat and started following Sydney's little Dodge Stratus towards her house. It was hard to follow, considering she knew where she was going, and she drove fast.

"So, Lou, how's Eleanor?" Harry asked, breaking the silence.

"Erm, good, I think. I don't know I haven't talked to her since I told her about the tour."

"Why not, is she mad or something?"

"I don't know, she's just a little skeptical about the whole spending seven months with two girls everyday, thing."

"She'll be fine, and if not, you've always got me." Harry set his hand on my leg and winked; no wonder all the fans thought we were gay for each other.

It took about another ten minutes to get to Sydney's house. I pulled into the driveway and looked around. Her house wasn't very large, but it was nice. We got out and helped her carry her and Theresa's bags inside. Walking through the door, there was the sound of dogs barking. I looked down and surrounding me was four dogs.

The boys and I cornered together, scared to move even an inch.

"Caya, Jaxon, Ecko, Enzo," she called out, pointing towards the door. They all followed her hand and went out the door, still barking.

"This is why cats are so much better," Harry claimed, setting Theresa's purse on the next available table.

Sydney was on the phone ordering a couple pizzas. Good, I was starving. We all moved into the family room and sat down.

"So, what exactly does us winning mean?" Theresa asked, finally regaining herself.

"It means that Simon is going to sign you guys, and then we're going to work on your single. Once that's released, we start the tour. You'll do cover songs and that sort of thing. Then we'll work on completing the rest of your album." Liam replied.

"Basically, you're setting us up for stardom?"

"I guess, if that's what you call it."

"Where are we recording?"

"New York."

"Oh my good golly gee, this really is too good to be true."

They all laughed and I sat there watching Sydney. I was just watching. The way she moved, every step was a dance. The way she talked, every word was a song. She had rinsed the black out of her hair and brushed it through. As she plaited it I noticed something. Along her wrist there were bright red lines. I looked closer and realized that it was blood. I realized that she cut.
