Truth (Chim)

Chapter 28

Cheryl's POV

It's been a week. One week and the public still hasn't calmed down. You'd think someone had died from how people are reacting about me and Kim. We had the kind of response we had expected however it had continued for much longer than we expected. Everywhere we go there are cameras, it can actually get pretty scary.

Our fans had been going crazy, they all accepted us and there had been many questions of how we didn't realise how we felt about each other before because apparently every girls aloud fanbase knew how we felt before each other. Many of our friends accepted us however we'd had some celebrities saying it was all a publicity stunt, that was something I couldn't seem to understand because we were doing anything together at the moment, girls aloud was on a break so why would we do it now?

The only other problem we had, was from family. We had told our mums and Gary had only found out because he was there but my other brother and sister didn't know and neither did Kim's brother or sisters and they were quite annoyed about that but after phone calls to them everything was fine.

We had continued as normal and not many things changed around us. I'm glad we told Simon and the rest of them at X Factor before though because I don't think I could have handled it if I hadn't. Me, Kimba and Katie had been sat in the backstage room at the arena auditions for around 20 minutes and all the jokes had been about me and Kimba being a couple so far.

They had changed the format of this years show and we didn't do the room auditions, we went straight to the arena auditions. I'm actually quite looking forward to it, I always love doing these kind of auditions because you can see what the audience thinks of someone and Kimba and Katie are here too so I can tell it's gonna be fun. They used this kind of format a few years ago when I was on the show and I'm glad they brought it back.

We've been told that we are starting in 15 minutes so we made our way to the arena. All of us judges are walking down the corridor to where we need to go and Kimba and Katie are walking with us. They seem to fit in so well, right from the moment we got here earlier I knew that everyone was going to get on.

Even Kimba and Mel, I think Kimba has seen, even though she wont admit it, that she was being stupid about Mel, that's just Mel's character. I couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Kim and smiling at her whenever she noticed me, I felt like a love sick teenager, however I wouldn't change it for the world.

"Oh god, their being cute again." Mel's voice pulls me out of thoughts and I look back to see Mel and Katie laughing while walking behind us.

"Oh shut up."

"Ooh...Cheryl's getting angry." This time it's Simon, who's walking in front of us who's talking.

"Is this just pick on Cheryl day?"

"Aww babe." Kimba places a kiss on the side of my head and takes her hand in mine as we are walking and I couldn't help but smile.

I could hear Katie and Mel laughing from behind us again and before I knew it they were skipping past us holding hands. I must admit I had respect for Mel skipping in those heals and not falling.

"What are you two doing?"

"Well you two were being all cute and holding hands so we thought we would do the same."

"Oh god. Is this how the days gonna go?"

"Not just today, the next few months!" I groaned but I couldn't help laugh at what Mel said, I always had so much fun doing the X Factor just simply because of how well everyone got on and I knew the next few months were going to be interesting.
