Nobody Compares

Chapter 2: World Tour

One week later. Gemma's party

I was a little late on getting ready. That kind of bummed me out. I went through my closet, but I didn't find anything. I ran to my tour closet, where I kept all my dresses from the tours. I immediatley noticed this one, it was light blue, (my favorite color of all time!) and completely sparkly. It was strapless, but quite comfortable. 

I bolted down the staircase. Gemma was putting snacks out. She was already ready for the party. I was just dressed. I began cleaning it up a little. 

I was expecting a few of my celebrity friends to come, even my boyfriend. My boyfriend is a Aeropastle model. He is also an actor. His name is Bo Willis. He wasn't the perfect boyfriend but it helped my career. My management tried to explain it, but I never understood. I just dated him because I had to. He liked me I guess, but he was arrogant. Not something I enjoy.

Soon people began arriving. The X-Factor was going to come on in an hour, so we just partied. soon my boyfriend came, and kept following me. It was weird. He tried to kiss me so many times, but I rejected it. I didn't want to kiss him now. 

"C'mon Piper! We're being filmed!" 

Suddenly the X-Factor theme played out, and everyone got deadly quite. We listened to some really bad musicians, but then an Irish boy came out. I couldn't see the screen, but I listened. Bo kept talking and talking. Just listen to Bo, I thought. That boy probably can't even sing! I blocked everyone out, and listened to Bo's useless story about Starbucks. Then I heard a tune. It was Ne-yo's So Sick. My favorite song. I pushed through the people, and left Bo talking. The boy began singing and he was perfect. It was perfect. My heart beat faster, and my palms began to sweat. The voice was from an angel. It was perfection. 

"Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone, cause right now it sucks that we can't come to the phone. And I know it makes no sense that you walked out the door, but its the only way I feel you anymore." His voice was beautiful. No one was watching the television except me. I pushed through the crowd, and got to the screen. I starred at the boy. He had blonde hair, and he was wearing a plaid shirt. He seemed so perfect. 

With that short interview I learned his name was Niall. He was 16. He was just a year younger than me. He seemed so sweet, but a side of attitude to the judges. He was very handsome too. This boy ... Niall .... seemed so perfect.

When he went off with 3 yeses, I stood up front and watched for Harry. Then they said his name. Everyone got quiet, and everyone watched. If someone coughed or breathed to loud, people would scream 'SH!'

Harry sang, and it was just about as good as last week's practice. He got 3 yeses like that. Everyone talked again, but I heard my phone go off. My ringtone was Ne-yo's So Sick. Wow, I sound like I was obsessed with Ne-yo. I'm not. That's just my favorite song.

"Piper?" I ran outside where is was quieter.

"Yes, this is Piper, who is this?" Lets hope it wasn't a fan.

"It's Jim, we have a tour planned out. It starts next week, the 23 of July." Jim was my tour manager. Harry would probably still be at the X-Factor. Well he can text me!

"Fantastic!" 

The tour came so quickly. Everyday until then I had a meeting. I had to practice my songs all week. Harry text me about once a day. He was really busy down there. My tour was going to go all around the globe. I didn't even realize until the day after Jim called it was going to last almost a year long. Approxametly 11 months and 5 days. I wouldn't be able to celebrate my birthday or any other holiday with my family. Even worse, it hadn't been the first time I traveled the whole globe for a year without any contact besides phone with my family. All I could do was text, call, Skype. Thats all.

On the 22 Jim picked me up. The tour was going to start in Japan. Somehow the Japanese don't care if it's English I'm singing. They don't even understand it. They just nod their heads and jam to it. 

It was early morning of 23 I got into my plane. It wasn't private, which I was happy. I wouldn't rather private. I liked people. I liked being around people. I was a people person.

"I'd have the private jet for us," Jim said as if he read my mind. He hauled all our luggage onto the boards. "But its getting fixed. We can use it in a couple of weeks."

I found my spot in the Class A part. First class. Luckily there weren't people asking me for autographs and pictures. I grabbed my blanket and cuddled into the cold leather seat. I turned the volume on the small television down, and quickly fell asleep.

I woke up to a vibrating phone. I checked, and it was mine. 3 new messages from: Hare Bear :)

Hare Bear: omg Piper they didn't put me through to boot camp omg

My heart sank. It was terrible news. Harry could try next year. He would win next year.

Hare Bear: omg Pipes, they decided to keep me & put me in a band with 4 other boys

Hare Bear: congrats on the tour. I'm not going to tell the other boys that I am your sister so they don't hound you on practicing. Talk to you soon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, put your seat belts back on, we are arriving in Toykyo, Japan."

A/N - I have got Windows 8. A new computer. Which means, I don't know how long the chapters are. I have to use WordPad. It sucks! And my parents don't think I need Microsoft word. 

Hahah today is 2-24. I wonder what the date is going to be when I upload this >.<
