Charlie

You know it's difficult sometimes, life can be a really funny thing one minute you are living a normal life as a sixteen year old, and then the next thing you know, you're auditioning for X-Factor and you get put in a band full of boys. I've always wanted to be a singer ever since I was a little girl. Both of my parents were singers before they had me and before all the bad stuff happened. But you could say that music flows through my veins.

My name is Charlie Mendes, and I am now seventeen years old. You might know me from the British/ Irish Boy band One Direction. I auditioned for X-Factor just after I turned sixteen. And I made it down to being the only girl for the solo singer. But then a boy named Tom Richards made the cut to the live performances. And as I was about to leave, someone called out my name, along with five other boys. 

"Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, And Charlie Mendes." And little did I know that after our names were called that my life was about to change forever. 

As we formed as a group, we stayed in X-Factor to see who would become a band. And then after at least one performance there were always so many fans waiting for us. And sooner or later we sadly didn't make it through. but afterwards, we started working on a new album. Anyway that should catch you up on some things, oh and one more thing, the only people who know this are Louis, and Zayn, and the secret is that I have a crush on Niall. And We just told Liam and he thought it was funny, and cute.

"Charlie?!" Liam shouted. "Huh what?" I ask. "I was saying, Julian told me to tell you that you are singing with Niall tonight instead of Louis." He says. "Okay thanks got it- wait what!?" I ask. "Julian likes how you and Niall sound together. C'mon it's not gonna be that bad." He chuckles. "Okay you try standing next to your crush, and sing a song that you wrote for them, and you tell me how it feels." I glare. "Okay, well you better tell Niall that he is gonna be up most of the night." He chuckles. "Oh this will be fun." I laugh. "You know it." He laughs. "Do you know where he is?" I ask. "I think he's gone out for nando's." He chuckles. "Okay, thanks, when did he leave?" "Around five minutes ago, but if you run you should catch up to him." He says. "Okay, yeah no, I can't run right now, I'm still sore." I groan. "Still?" He asks. "Yeah, I now regret wrestling with Zayn." I groan. "I warned you, but nope, you never listen-" "Just be happy that I listen to you more than Lou." I laugh. "Fair." He laughs.

"Niall." I ask. "Yeah?" He replies. "Could you get me my usual?" I ask. "Yeah sure love." He says. "Thank you Nialler." I smile. "No problem, Char." He says. "Okay update, I'm getting food and I'm happy!" I smile. "Well, the last thing we want is hangry Charlie. It never ends well." Zayn laughs. "Yep, I'm a whole different person when I'm hangry." I joke. "Different!? You turn into the spawn of Satan." Louis says. "Aw thanks, I take that as a complement." I smile. "And it's not just when I'm hangry." I laugh. "Nope, it's the same when you wake up too." Harry yawns.

"Hey sleeping beauty, how was your nap?" Louis asks. "It was good, and I'm sorry but were you up all night singing your parts?" He glares. "No but I gotta do that with Ni tonight," I chuckle. "Ooh, are you excited." Louis wolf whistles. "Haha you're so funny." I glare. "I know, don't you just love me." He smirks. "Louis you are this close to getting a black eye." I glare. "Ooh what's going on with you and Niall?" Harry asks. "Nothing, Louis is just being an idiot." I glare. "Hmm, okay." He shrugs. "I'm back!" Niall yells. "Speak of the devil. Hey, did you get my food?" I ask. "Yes I did." He smiles. "Let's go." I smile. 

After we were finished eating it was about 10:00pm and Niall and I had to start recording. "So I'll take it we are singing 'One Thing' seeing as that's our last song." I say. "Yeah we only have to finish 'one thing'. And we should be done." He says. "Okay, thanks." I say. "C'mon! I wanna get some sleep tonight." He groans. "All right you big baby, c'mon." I chuckle. 

An hour almost passed by and now Niall was only in his underwear, because he wanted to feel 'free' as he called it. "I hate that it's hot in here." I groan. "We just need one more bridge and then we should be done for the night." Julian smiles. "Thank god, then I can sleep." Niall and I joke. 

"Get out, get out, get out of my head and fall into my arms instead. I don't, I don't, don't know what it is, but I need that one thing, yeah, you got that one thing!" We sing. "And we are done, great job guys, thank you so much." He smiles. "Niall carry me please, cause I might fall if I try walking." I groan, "Okay Char." He chuckles. He picked me up and I could feel his warmth hit me, which made me blush.

We got back on the tour bus and he put me down and I walked to my bunk. "Well I had fun singing with you... again." He chuckles. "Well you know I love singing with you, and I must say you are my favorite in the band." I chuckle. "Okay first of all: Rude, Second: Go to bed, love birds!" Liam yells. "Okay sorry Liam." I chuckle. "Night Ni." I smile. "Night Char." He smiles back. I quickly get changed into some shorts and a crop top and walk back to my bunk, and get in and slowly drift to sleep.
