Destined [H.S]

First Group Performance!

Emma's POV

Louis was thankfully okay, no danger to his life. We were now just worried about him not making it to the performance. It was already the day of the performance and he still wasn't here yet. We asked the Team if they could keep our act as the last one in line so that Louis could be there on time.

"One Direction is still waiting for their bandmate Louis Tomlinson to show up. Meanwhile, we have Belle Amie performing for us!" I heard David say as we all sat at the front steps, waiting for Louis.

"Do you think he's gonna be okay?" Harry asked no one in particular. I put a hand on his shoulder and nodded.

"Louis is alright, don't worry. He'll be here any minute." I reassured everyone and as if on cue, I saw a figure limping in through the huge gates of Simon's house.

"Louis!" All of us screamed as we rushed to him. My legs being super long got me there first and I jumped on to him carefully, not wanting to hurt his wounded foot. I felt all the boys then do a group hug around us.

"Are you ok?" I asked, stepping away from the hug.

"I'm fine! Don't worry about me that much, you guys - after all, I'm the eldest, I can take care of myself!" He joked. I rolled my eyes at him playfully.

"But you're also the naughtiest one, we have to worry" Liam muttered, making all of us laugh.

"Is One Direction ready to perform?" A female voice interrupted us. It was Cowbell's manager. I held back the urge to roll my eyes. She was just like Cowbell, except she was worse.

"Yes." I answered in one word, not really wanting to talk to her.

"Follow me." Said the bossy bitch as she walked away. We followed behind her as she led us to Cowbell's backyard.

"Now you go from here, and I won't be over there with you." She said, stopped by a tree which showed us the view of Simon and Natalie sitting under an umbrella.

"Yeah, I don't want you there either." I muttered so that only the boys could hear me. They sniggered, Niall bursting out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Bitch asked. I shook my head, telling her that it was nothing.

"Fine, stop laughing and go, it would be very much appreciated if you all didn't waste my time anymore and started perfo-" she got cut off by me, as I glared at her. She quickly shut up when she saw me looking at her angrily, which told me that she was intimidated by me. I smirked and followed behind all the boys who had already started walking out in front of Simon.

"Hello" we all said in unison.

"Ah I see which one was injured." Simon pointed out, looking at Louis' foot which was still red, but less swollen. We all fake smiled at him, since none of us was a big fan of how he treated people. We heard a lot about him, and how the people who worked under him complained.

"How're you doing?" Natalie asked.

"I'm pretty good, thanks." Louis confirmed, looking at his foot instinctively, and then back at the judges.

"Okay, so let's start." Simon said as we all aligned at the back and the music began to play.

"I thought I saw a girl, brought to life..." Liam began as he stepped forward. I looked around the beautiful house, and my eyes landed on a pair of green ones, who were already looking at me. I smiled at Harry, which he returned and I looked back at Liam who was almost done singing his part.

"There's nothing left, I used to cry..." I started singing as I moved forward, stopping to stand next to Liam. Soon, my part was done and Harry came forward, singing his part beautifully. Zayn, Louis and Niall followed behind, harmonizing our song and making it ten times better.
