Trifecta

Ch 1 part 2

Nicole's pov.

I sat and watched the other people audition. This girl Charlie is mad talented. She has some pipes. I am incredibly nervous.

The only person I had with me was my girlfriend savannah.

"Babe you'll do fine."

"What if I forget the words? What if my voice cracks? What if- " Savannah cut me off by kissing me.

"Stop thinking of the what ifs. You will do fine and you're going to be on this show." She said.

"What would I do without you?" I asked.

"Be a scared little pessimistic hermit for the rest of your life." She said and giggled. I laughed also. She kissed me one more time before I went to do my interview.

"Hey. I'm Nicole Alvarez and I'm 17. I was born in Brazil and moved to the U.S. When I was 7."

"You're up next." The guy said.

I grabbed Savannah's hand and squeezed it.

"You're up." He said.

She kissed me quickly and I went onto the stage.

"Hi." I said.

"Hello. I love your style." Demi said.

"Thank you."

"What's your name and age?"

"I'm Nicole Alvarez and I'm 17."

"Where are you from?"

"I was born in Brazil."

The crowd cheered.

"Viva la Brazil!" I said. They cheered louder. "But I live in Chicago."

"Why are you here?"

"To show my mom that I'm more than a mistake."

"What do you mean?"

"I was disowned by my family when I was 12 or 13 years old. Because I was gay and I wanted to pursue music and not be in the family business."

"I'm sorry." Kelly said.

"It's all good." I said.

"Best of luck." Simon said.

"Thanks." I gave a thumbs up to the guy.

"Some folks like to get away. Take a holiday from the neighborhood. Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood. But I'm taking a greyhound. On the Hudson River line. I'm in a new you're state of mind. I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and limousines. Been high on the Rockies under the evergreens. But I know what I'm needing. And I don't wanna waste more time. I'm in a New York State of mind. It comes down to reality. And it's fine with me cause I let it slide. Down care if it's Chinatown or on a riverside. I'm just taking a greyhound. On the Hudson River line." I held the note. "Cause I'm in a New York. State. Of. Mind!" I finished.

The crowd went crazy. The judges were on their feet.

"One word. Outstanding." Simon said.

"Thank you."

"To have that much control at 17. Is insane. I've never heard a voice like yours. It's unique. Bravo." Kelly said.

"Thanks you so much."

"No words. I have no words that I can use to describe how amazing that was." Demi said.

"Thank you." I said with a smile that I couldn't get off of my face.

"Let's vote." Demi said. "Simon."

"Yes."

"Kelly."

"A big fat yes."

"YOU HAVE THREE YESES WELCOME TO THE X FACTOR." Demi yelled.

"Thank you guys so much." I exclaimed. I ran to savannah and she picked me up and spun me around.

"I knew you'd make it." She said.

A cameraman walked to us.

"Guess what mom. Your big mistake is on the X factor." I said looking straight into the lens.

I couldn't believe it. I was on the X factor.
