Theres Always a Catch. (Austin Mahone One DirectionFAN FIC)

Eli's Performance.

***Elis Performance***

I woke up at 9:34. I had to be at studio in an hour for rehearsal. My song was a song, I knew, Austin would love by the first note. The same song we sang in the video. The one he called 'Our Song'. Probably gonna bring tears to his eyes because, Im an epic mofo.

I put my hair in a sock bun, bangs down. I got our my black suede skater shoes with gold studs on the heels. Black shorts with my gold studded belt to match my shoes perfect. My black leather jacket, gold bow earrings and my favorite part? The shirt that had an infinity symbol on the back with 'Mahomie' at the end. But nobody would notice until I took off my jacket. It had a collar like all my other shirts but it tied at the front. It was black with (Of course) gold stitching. A car picked me up around 10:15 to take me to the studio. All the other girls had different times. Even mentors wouldnt be there. Only the boys (Austin told me that) and the sound booth guys. So. We were basically supposed to think we were alone.

When I got inside, one of the stage managers, complimented my look and told me what I'd be doing for the next hour and a half. She left out that Id be performing for 7 major heart throbs. Of course. I told her the song, I would be singing. SHe had to inform the song booth.

While waiting, I set down my stuff and walked to the 'X' on the stage. I looked up and saw 7 lumps exactly like the first time. A couple minutes passed and the music started.

I winked at the lump wearing a snapback, and once I sang the first note, that lump stood up. The whole time I was singing, he stood. The music stopped, I heard some shuffling in the back.

Down came running Austin. He came up to the stage and enveloped me in a huge hug amd spun me around. He sat in the front row and told me to sing it in front of him. I just motioned for the booth to go again and I sang the song.

' Do you hear me? I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea To an island where we'll meet You'll hear the music fill the air I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees Move so pretty you're all I see As the world keeps spinning 'round You hold me right here, right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed Lucky to be coming home someday'

I finished my song in a strong note. And since the boys' cover was already blown, they all came down during the song without me noticing.

When I was finished, they startled me. They started wooing and clapping. And of course, the immature Louis, got up and acted like a crazy fan girl.

"O-M-G Kylie your like sooooooo perfect. One day Im gonna be just like you!" He said in a high pitched voice. "Oh wait...I AM!" He said that last part in his own voice.

Id never talked to any other guys. Only Austin. So it kind of scared me. I guess it was noticeable.

"Dont Worry. If they dont take you, Ill make Simon sign you in a heart beat." Zayn reassured me.

"Yeah. Or well take you with us! Youll be like our little sister!" Liam said. He made a heart with his hand and they all envelopes me in a hug.

"Cody, come here!" Louis yelles at Cody who was at the top of the arena.

"NO!"

"Dont take it personally, Eli. Hes in a bad mood." Liam told me.

"Why?" It was the first thing I said other than laughing.

"He lost our bet" Louis said. Winking at Austin, who was turning a slight red.

"Which would be....?" My voice trailed off.

"Well.." Louis started

"NO!!!" Austin interrupted running towards Louis.

Louis said something but not fast enough. Austin was already attacking him and covering his mouth.

Wow. Okay? All the guys were playing around now, so I decided maybe I'd talk to Cody.

I walked up about 15 steps. I could see Cody, just texting. His hair really messed up, because his hands went thru it. I coughed, to catch his attention. He looked up, rolles his eyes, and looked back at his phone.

Umm. Okay?

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No."

"Then why does it look like your annoyed with me if you barely know me..?"

"You act like a perfect person. Do you even have anything wrong with your life!?! Cause by the looks of it, you dont. And thats what everyone loves about you. Its not fair to anyone. Austin thinks your perfect which is why he likes you so much. Before you even came on stage, everyone made a bet at how fast hed run to you. Dont you get it!?!"

I made my hands in to fists. My jaw clenched as I tightened it. This is the second time in 24 hours that I have to explain my life to someone.

"No I dont. Because Im not perfect. My sister has cancer my dad was killed. I live in a house where my mom has to look for a job every month because budget cuts. Sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me but whatever Cody. I dont even know you. And you dont know me. and you know what? If you wanna say shit about me. Go ahead. But dont say Im anywhere near perfect. Because I never will be. Look at my wrists and tell me if the scars say Im perfect. Tell that to my dad in Heaven. BYE."

I turned around ignoring every 'Im Sorry.' coming from Cody. I didnt have a ride for an hour. I passed the stage with all the boys stopping and Im pretty sure some of them saw tears threatening to fall at any minute. I got my bag and ran to the bathrooms. I heard footsteps behind me, and once I got in the door, I locked it. I threw my bag down and put my back against the wall.

The tears came down as fast as Niagra Falls.

Why doesnt anyone understand the pain.
