🎶a day without you is like a year without rain...🎶

Chapter 16: Performances🍀

(CRYSTALS POV)

*the next day*

"We're going to win. I'm sure of it." I exclaimed excitedly as David Guetta finished playing the track he'd mixed. David just smiled and shrugged. Truly, the remixed cover of 'year without rain' by Selena Gomez we'd put together was perfect.

"Seriously. We'll win. Now come on, we'll be late." I smiled, running towards the door of the recording studio we'd just finished practicing in.

(NIALLS POV)

*30 minutes later*

Duet after duet walked up onto the stage, singing their cover and then retreating back into the audience. I was really excited, but also crazily nervous. Performing in front of so many famous stars...it was nerve wrecking.

"Next up....Crystal Sanchez and David Guetta!" The announcer lady smiled at the audience. Crystal rose from her seat, at the other end of the auditorium. She had sat there with her duet partner. As much as I wanted to give her a hug and a kiss for good luck, I knew she'd do amazing.

"Oooh, oooooh, Oooh...." She began, a smile spread on her face as she began to sing. "The skies are burning, I feel your voice in my mind..." She sang perfectly, catching every note as if a butterfly in a net. It was beyond amazing. I think pretty much the entire audience had their jaws dropped open. David Guetta was somewhere on the stage, mixing a soundboard around and undoubtedly remixing the beat. But my eyes were locked on my girlfriend.

MY girlfriend.

I still could not get over that. Crystal Sanchez, worldwide superstar...my girlfriend. She finished her song and left the stage, smiling widely. I whooped loudly and clapped as the rest of the audience broke into applause.

"Next up...Demi Lovato and Niall Horan!" The lady smiled as she stepped away from the stage to let Demi and I walk on. Here come the nerves...

(CRYSTALS POV)

The adrenaline rush from my performance was slowly dying down, as I settled back into my seat. Niall and Demi were making their way towards the stage, and I do admit that I was kinda jealous of Demi. But hey...Niall told me how much he cared for me. He promised to never hurt me again. They sat down on stools as Niall picked up his guitar and slowly began to strum.

"We're under pressure, 7 billion people in the world, trying to give in." Demi started, Niall joining in at the second part.

"Keep it together, smile on your face even though your heart is frowning." They sang, as Justin Bieber himself let out a whoop and a whistle from the audience, making a ripple if laughter erupt from the crowd. Niall smirked as he and Demi continued singing. It was actually really good.

I smiled and bobbed my head along to the acoustic beat. He really had undone himself in this one. When the song ended, he and Demi left the stage to a huge uproar of applause. I shouted and clapped along, probably way to enthusiastically. Eh, whatever. No paparazzi here to catch me being overly weird. I saw Niall search the crowd briefly before he locked eyes with me, giving me a quick wink before proceeding back to his seat. Smiling quietly to myself, I blushed down as I stared at the ground. He was so cute.

I couldn't wait until later...tomorrow was the last full day Before the camp is over. And Niall had promised me that he'd explore the entire camp with me. I was beyond excited. I was sortof a city girl, but I loved exploring. Call me a little girl...but yeah. The final duets went up to the stage and performed, until finally the announcer lady walked onstage.

"Thank you all so much for participating in our duet duels! The judges panel will be picking the first through third placers, and announce them tomorrow. Enjoy your final two full days of camp, everyone!" She chirped, walking away. Chatter filled the room as people rejoined their friends and began to rave about each others performances.

"Did you see Zayn from one direction and Perrie from little mix? OMG...they were so adorable and amazing!" Someone praised. I turned around to see P!nk talking wildly to Eminem. Smirking to myself, I made a mental note to tell my newfound friends (Zayn and Perrie herself) about it. "Crystal!" Someone shouted. I turned around to see a very familiar blonde Irish boy smiling as he ran towards me.
