Stole My Heart

The Dreaded Auditions

So I understand I kind of changed the X factor bit but it's only so it fits in with the story xx

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, today is the day we head to Manchester for our auditions at Old Trafford. This is the audition before the ones on TV. I'm in the car with Perrie, Liam, Zayn and Niall. Harry is in another car with Louis because you can't fit many people in a mini. I mean, i'm super nervous but i've been working on my stage fright and it's gotten a bit better.

"Are we there yet?" Niall groans

"Nearly!" I snap,

"How long?" Zayn asks,

"About 10 minutes"

"That's so long" Niall complains

We finally arrive, Harry arrives not long after with Louis, we have no idea where we're going, so we go and ask someone in a bright yellow jacket. She directs us inside where we sign in, there aren't many people here, they must set it out across a few days.

"What's your name love?" the woman asks

"S-Scarlet Anderson" I hesitate

"Ok, here's some information on what is happening today"

"Thanks" I say standing to the side waiting with Perrie for the boys

"Hi, i'm Harry Styles, this is Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, we're here to audition as a group"

"ok" the woman scans her computer "Ah yes, do you have a name?"

"Yeah, it's One Direction" Harry says, they named it after his car 'One D' they seem to love it, not sure why though.

"Ok then, One Direction, here's information on everything today" she smiles at them

"What times your audition?" I ask

"3pm, you?" Harry says

"2"

"pm?"

"no am" I reply sarcastically, he chuckles puts his hand around my waist and we take a seat, the others grab chairs and we make a circle in the room, I look at the clock, 12pm, wow I need to get practicing, I get up and start saying the lyrics to myself pacing up and down the room, I put in my headphones and sing to myself, when I hear people singing

Nothing's fine i'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

"Hey keep it down" I yell at the boys, don't get me wrong, they sound amazing but I need to practice too!

"Bossy pants" Louis snaps, I scowl and ignore him and put my headphones back in.

"Next up is" a producer walks out, it's just after which means it's my turn. Shit i'm not ready for this. "Scarlet Anderson?" I can feel my palms sweating and my hearts racing, Harry rubs my back to keep me comfort

"Is Scarlet here?" he asks

"Yeah, I'm here"

"Ok, come this way" I slowly stand up and follow the producer into a room, i'm standing there infront of about ten different people.

"Hello, introduce yourself" One of the women there says to me

"Erm... I'm S-Scarlet Anderson, i'm seventeen" I stutter
