That Other X-Factor Girl (Niall Horan/x-Factor)

2

Nialls POV

"Oh Crap, oh crap, oh crap," I muttered to myself as I ran through the large lobby area. I, being the idiot I am, lost my little sister at my X-Factor audition. I had been searching for 10 minutes trying to find my little Ella. "Ella!" I yelled to her. "Ella!" "Ni?" I heard a small voice yell out. I spun around trying to locate where the voice was coming from. I kept spinning until I noticed a small brown pony tail walking around the corner. I ran towards it and right as I was rounding the corner I ran into something. Nevermind... Not something, someone. "Oof!" She exclaimed as we toppled over. "Owwwww," she whined as she tried to push me off of her. "Oh my gosh! I am soooo sorry!" I exclaimed as I jumped up. "It's fine, just help me up," she said while sticking her hand out to me. I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her up. I obviously pulled her a little too hard and she slammed into me. "Sorry!" I said nervously. "It's ok." She said, also sounding a little nervous. I smiled warmly at her, "I'm Niall." "Carmen," she said laughing.

"NI!!" I heard a voice yell. "Ella!" I yelled, turning around. Thank goodness! "I was so worried about you Princess!" I said while picking her up. "Who's that?" Ella asked in her little six year old voice. "Hi, honeypie! I'm Carmen, What's your name?" Ella hid her head in my shoulder. "Oh no you don't," I said to her. "You are not shy so don't try to pull that one," I said teasingly. "This is my little sister, Ella," I told Carmen. "I better go Niall. It was nice meeting you!" She said while smiling. She was about to leave when I said, "Wait Carmen!" She turned, "Yeah"     "Are you auditioning?"    "Unfortunately, yes," she said unhappily. "What?" I asked. "I suck at singing, my twin sister is forcing me to embarrass myself, because she thinks I'm good," she said, clearly annoyed with her sister. "Oh, well I'm auditioning too. Best of luck to you! Maybe we'll see eachother again," I said. "Yeah! Well, we probably won't considering my skill level. But, good luck! Wait, what's your last name Niall? I'll watch your audition." She stated. "Horan! How about you?" I replied. "Mellard!" She called while turning around to catch up to her sister and some guy. Her brother? No, her sisters boyfriend definatley. The boy and her sister were holding hands. She was nice. I'll definately have to watch for her audition. I heard some numbers being called over the intercom and noticed one of them was mine. I speed walked over to the gate thing and some guy asked for my number. I pointed to my shirt and he let me in. Here goes nothing.

*After Niall's Audition*

"Yesss!" I yelled while running off the stage to my family. While they were congratulating me I noticed who was standing in line to go on stage next. "Carmen?" I asked her while walking in her direction. She spun around quickly when she heard me. She looked like she was about to puke. "Are you okay?" I asked her worriedly. "I'm fine. But, hey! That was amazing! You were great!" She exclaime while patting me on the back. "Thanks, are you next?" I asked her. "Yeah, please don't laugh at me," she said sadly. "I would never! I'm sure you'll do great!" I said to her, suprised that she thought I would do that. "Carmen Mellard?" A man called out to her. She spun around when she heard her name. She started breathing really hard. I thought she was going to throw up or pass out. Then all of a sudden she started running towards the exit. "Carmen!" I yelled to her, while running after her. "Carmen wait!" I finall caught up to her and grabbed her hand. She spun around quickly and I pulled her into my arms. I felt her breathing slow down, and she relaxed. I let her go and we walked back inside. She picked up her guitar and turned to me. "You can do it," I said to her. She smiled lightly and walked onto the stage.

CARMENS POV

"Hi there! What's your name sweet heart?" Cheryl asked me when I got to the center of the stage. "Carmen Mellard," I said nervously. "Well, Carmen why are you here today?" Simon asked me. "Well... My sister kind of kidnapped me?" I said, It came out more like a question though. "Yeah, that does sound a little strange. My sister and her boyfriend, drove me here because they said it was my birthday surprise. I had no idea this was going to happen. I did't want to try out because I'm a terrible singer, but Nina, My twin sister, seems to think other wise so... here I am!" I said quickly, laughing nervously at the end. "I like you, Carmen," Simon said to me. I smiled at him, blushing slightly. "Well, tell us your song and then, show us what you've got!' Louis said. "I am going to be singing, Fix You, by ColdPlay. I changed the key for my voice though. I'm going to be using my guitar for accompaniment," I said while sitting down on the stool they brought out for me.

"Fix You"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try you'll never know

Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I...

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I...

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you   I finshed and looked up at the judges faces. Oh no. Blank faces, all of them. Then all I heard was a huge roar. THe jusdges were on their feet smiling and clappindg, along with the rest of the audience. That's weird... Must be the sound system in here. Made my crap voice sound ok. When the audience finished clapping, I got my feed back. All good suprisingly. "Carmen, that was amazing," Cheryl said smiling. "I now have my two favorite auditions this season." I grinned, but knew she was lying. How could anyone like my voice. "Carmen, Carmen, Carmen. That was amazing!" Louis said smiling. Wow this sound system really worked! They actually like me. "Carmen. I have to say, I have never heard anyone put such emotion into a song. You could give ColdPlay a run for their money." Simon said to me. This time I really put the mile in smile. "Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "Thank you," I said smiling, then ran off the stage and shoved my guitar into Nina's boyfriends arms. I jumped into Nina's arms, and whispered in her ear, "I hate you. Thank you." She smiled at me. "I love you too Caramel," I laugh at the nickname she gave me when were little. "Thanks Nugget," I said, copying her use of nicknames. I let go of her when I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Good job, Carmen. You were amazing," Niall said to me. I jumped into his arms and hugged him, " Thank you Niall." "I'll See you at boot camp, yeah?" He asked me. "Yeah," I said, because I didn't want to let him down. It's going to hurt him when I don't get past the first round of boot camp.   ************************************************************************************************************* A/N  Heyyy!
