FLASHBACKS ➳ JACK GILINSKY

CHAPTER FIVE - SOMEONE LIKE YOU

Now here's this week's real chapter! And if you guys haven't already, please, please, please ask some questions. It'll be really helpful and I'd be very grateful.

The song for this chapter is 'Someone Like You' by Adele and I think it's perfect for this chapter! I hope you like it!

FIVE

For this round, we have temporary mentors because normally, we don't choose our official mentors until after we have made it through the judges' house and into the live shows. So anyway, each section gets one temporary mentor for the week to get ready, and the teens' mentor is Taylor Swift.

The Taylor Swift is currently standing right in front of me, smiling that perfect smile of hers that always leaves me jealous and making introductions to us. I, however, was too shocked to say anything. Taylor Swift is an incredible songwriter and the best at what she does, and the fact that she's going to mentor us is utterly shocking to me. She's going to tell me tips to use, that she, a worldwide famous singer uses herself.

"Look, I know that she's your favorite singer in the whole entire world and whatever, but can you stop staring at her like an idiot, so we can get to work," Jack snapped at me, ripping me away from my initial shock.

"Sorry," I mumbled and turned my attention back to Taylor, to see that her smile had faltered and the creases between her eyebrows were now very evident. I offered her a small, half smile. "You are indeed my favorite singer of all time. Everything you do is absolutely amazing and I can't believe I get to work with someone like you. I am really honored." I gushed, then blushed slightly. "Anyways, I'm sorry for—whatever that was," I waved off. "We're Jack and Elena. I'm sure you know which is which," I chuckled nervously.

"I remember you guys!" She said cheerfully, and my face lit up in happiness, then contorted to confusion. "You guys performed with Fifth Harmony for that charity show, right?"

"You were there?" I asked.

She nodded. "You guys were amazing. I have a been such a huge fan of you guys since then. I always loved how perfectly your voices matched together. They are so different, but when mixed together, you get an amazing combination," She finished and the whole world around me exploded. My idol, role model, favorite person in the whole entire world just told me she's a fan of me—well, me and Jack. She said that we have perfect voices! Coming from her, that means more than it would from anyone else.

Then, she said it. "I was sad when you guys stopped performing together? What happened?" She didn't mean it, but she did it anyway. She asked the question.
