A week later

I nervously stood backstage at the arena that the xFactor was using for to hold the London auditions. I had waited almost 4 hours and I was finally up next. Dustin stood next to me patting my back comfortingly. He's auditioning right after me and I've never actually heard him sing so hopefully he's good. Before you make an assumption, no we are not dating. I like him, but I couldn't bring myself to actually commit to someone. Maybe I'm not over Harry, or maybe he made me unable to trust any guys.

Besides I've only known him for little over a week and he completely understands. I didn't tell him my ex is the famous Harry Styles though because when we dated he was just Hazz... my Hazz.

"Good luck!" Dustin yelled encouragingly as I made my way to the center stage. I stood there taking in the audience; the spotlights focused on me.

The judges asked me a few questions before they let me sing. I took a shaky breath and started singing Don't You Remember by Adele. Not my favourite song, but it went with how I have been feeling lately.

Near the end of the song tears started to blur my vision as I thought about Harry. Something over came me, making me blurt out, "I remember Hazz. I remember it all." Into the microphone. The crowd erupted into cheers, probably not hearing what I had mumbled at the end.

I shook my head, smiling and wiping away the tears. This is unbelievable.

*Harry's P.O.V.

"Harry, the xFactor started! Put it on, we have to make tweets about it!" Liam yelled running onto the tour bus. The other three boys followed in and Louis jumped onto me. We've become closer since we started touring. He misses Sam just as much as I do, so we tend to vent to each other. I tried to contact Jessica to see if she knew anything about Sam, but she just yelled at me for being an arse and hung up.

I let out an over exaggerated groan as I push Louis off of me and changed the channel. The commercial ended just as I flipped the channel on and it started to introduce the next contestant.

"Hi I'm Sam. I'm 18 and I'm from London." A blonde girl introduced.

"No way..." Zayn trailed off. Everyone sat up of the sofa and I cranked the TV's volume up. This was Sam no doubt. I'd recognize her voice anywhere.

"She's so different." Niall said in shock.

"She's so gorgeous...no she looks way to classy! That is not our Sam." Liam argued.

I watch as it showed Sam backstage. Her brunette hair was now a dirty blonde but her eyes where as blue as ever. Her old edgy gang style was replaced with a new classier style making her look mature and beautiful. It showed an attendant giving her a mic and she gave a blonde guy she was with a quick hug. He kissed her cheek making her smile widely then she walked up the stairs.

He's not her boyfriend. He can't be. This has to be some kind of wicked nightmare, but it's not. She's moved on. As I felt my heart aching I realized that maybe she never remembered any of us. I shouldn't have left her alone.

Louis eyes watered as he saw his little sister walked out onto the stage. Similar thoughts probably ran through his mind. Someone's hand pressed onto my back and I looked to my right to see Niall giving me a sympathetic smile. He mouthed 'sorry' and rubbed his hand comfortingly on my back.

Sam started singing don't you remember by Adele and I furrowed my eyes in confusion. She was never a fan of Adele, there has to be a reason she's singing this.

"Harry..." Liam trailed off suggesting that the song was about me.

"Did you not see her boyfriend backstage?" I mumbled jealously.

"Maybe it's not her boyfr-"

"Shut up! I haven't heard my sister sing in over a year!" Louis yelled interrupting Liam and slapping my leg.

We all shut up and listened to Sam sing. Her voice is perfect, just like the rest of her. I sat mesmerized by her performance. She's a natural star; you could see it in her eyes. The judges noticed to because as soon as she nailed the high note, they were all standing.

Near the end of the song her confidence seemed to vanish and her eyes flickered everywhere as if looking for something. Her hand noticeably tightened on mic and she finished the song, her voice still perfect but her face said she was over thinking something.

"I remember Hazz. I remember it all." Her mouth moved but barely a sound came out through the mic.

"You don't think." Niall said, thinking out loud.

"Did you not hear her say Harry's name?" Zayn scoffed making Niall hit him.

"She remembers?" Louis said unsurely.

"She remembers." I repeated, confirming his suspicion.

*Sam's P.O.V.

I ran backstage after getting a yes from every judge. A huge smile was plastered on my face. I bound down the stairs and right into Dustin's arms. He wrapped me in a tight hug and spun me around.

"That was awesome!" He exclaimed. He set me down and the smile never faded off my face.

The same attendant who gave me my mic walked over to us and gave Dustin the mic. I wished him luck and he walked onto the stage confidently.

The judges asked him a few questions and flirted with him before they let him sing. He sang perfect world by Hedley. I must admit he was pretty good, maybe not the best I've ever heard because everyone in One Direction is better that him but he's alright. His voice was much different than Harry's.

I bit my lip as I realized I was once again comparing him to Harry. I need to move on.

Dustin ended up getting three yes' and one no'. He ran off the stage and hugged me again.

"We're going to boot camp!" he yelled happily. I smiled, nodding at him.

Maybe this can be my new start. I've made through auditions. I like Dustin. If I can learn to trust him, I think he would make a great boyfriend. Maybe this is all starting to look up, I thought happily.

But then my heart had to speak up. The ache in my heart I got every time I thought of Harry I had become accustom to. It never really went away. I hope Harry's out there somewhere thinking about me and hurting as much as I am.

Dustin didn't notice my faltered smile and led me out of the arena. We went for ice cream together, even though it was freezing cold in London. I didn't really want to go but I sucked it up. I can't keep avoiding my problems; because right now my biggest problem is in my heart and my head and how do you run away from something that's inside of you?
