A week later I stood outside the judge's house with the boys. I was really doing this. I was giving up. I got so nervous over first auditions; I worked my ass off at boot camp and for what? Nothing.

"Remember the plan Sam?" Liam asked rubbing my back. I nodded in response. I felt a sudden interest spark from my shoes as my eyes were glued to the nude heels. I wore a pair of turquoise skinny jeans and a blouse.

"We shouldn't be seen going inside with you so good luck." Louis said.

"Hey..." Harry whispered trying to get my attention. I looked up him. "I love you."

"Love you too Harry." I whispered then walked inside the house.

The warm heated air consumed me and I felt at ease. I could do this. It's what I wanted. I want to be with Harry. I don't need to move on because I can trust Harry again. But why can't I have both?

As I turned the corner, a familiar blonde headed boy caught my attention. He stood next to a few other contestants talking. I smiled at the sight of him. Surely he would be able to brighten my mood. I walked over to where they stood.

"Sam! I haven't seen you in forever!" Dustin exclaimed wrapping his arms around me. I felt an odd sense of security in his arms and it frightened me.

"Yeah I've had a lot going on this week." I sighed leaning into him.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asked motioning to another room where there were sofas. I nodded and let him take my hand and lead me over to the other room. He took a seat and patted a spot next to him.

"What's been going on?" he asked facing me.

"You'll never believe this but my ex-boyfriend is Harry Styles." I mumbled.

"You mean our celebrity mentor?" Dustin asked in shock.

"Yeah, when he showed up at the arena, it was the first time I've seen him in over a year. He didn't tell me he was coming and it was a lot to take in so I left early." I explained.

"Oh so that's where you ran off to. Yeah I tried to run after you but Harry told me he would handle it and I figured that...well I don't know what I figured but I definitely did not want to get on his bad side." Dustin said.

It was silent for a moment as I tried to keep my composure. I wasn't going to let any of this get to me. It's tough right now but in a few years when it's just Harry and me and no one else but our family, I'll look back on these days as ones to be thankful for.

"So...did he try to get you back or something?" Dustin asked and I could tell this was getting awkward for him.

"Yeah and I feel like a bitch because I actually do like you, but I love him and I know I'll never feel the same about someone as I do him. He's the one... I'm so sorry." I whispered on the verge of tears.

"Come here." Dustin said pulling me in for a hug. "You don't have to apologize for loving someone. You shouldn't feel bad for me. I'll be fine. Sure I like you but I would also want you to do the same if the positions were swapped." Dustin said.

"But I'm also quitting the show..." I mumbled. "...and going on tour with Harry."

"Oh...is that your choice or his?"

"Both I guess. I don't really want to go into detail but it's for the best. I just thought I would give you a little heads up." I said. As Dustin was about to speak an attendant came in and called my name.

"Good luck." Dustin said giving me one last hug. I nodded and gave him a small smile before going out into the backyard.

"Hello Sam. You can start anytime you want." The judge said. I nodded and waited for the music to start. Harry was next to the judge and gave me a slight smile and a head nod. I smiled back and felt the nerves fire up inside of me. I've never sung in front of Harry. Sure he's heard me sing in the shower and stuff like that, but this was so different.

"Wait! Can you play the second track instead please?" I asked fumbling with the mic. Harry gave me a confused look but I shook it off. I had to do this. For me.

The music started playing and I gained control of my nerves. Right on cue I started singing.

"Here we are now, everything's about to change. We face tomorrow, as we say goodbye to yesterday. A chapter ending, but the stories only just begun. The page is turning for everyone.

So I'm moving on, letting go, holding onto tomorrow. I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be. We may be apart but I hope you'll always know, you'll be with me, wherever I go. Wherever I go.

So excited, I can barely even catch my breath. We have each other, to lean on for the road ahead. This happy ending, is the start of all our dreams and I know your heart is with me.

So I'm moving on, letting go, holding onto tomorrow. I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be. We may be apart but I hope you'll always know, you'll be with me, wherever I go.

It's time to show the world, we got something to say. A song to sing out loud will never fade away. I know I'll miss you but we'll meet again some day. We'll never fade away.

So I'm moving on, letting go, holding onto tomorrow. I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be. We may be apart but I hope you'll always know, you'll be with me, wherever I go...So I'm moving on, letting go, holding onto tomorrow. I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be. We may be apart but I hope you'll always know, you'll be with me, yeah-hah wherever I go."

I let out a deep breath as I finished the song on a high note. A few tears slipped down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them away. I blinked a few times to clear my vision. Once I gained control of my sight, my eyes landed on Harry.

He looked like a lost puppy. His eyes were teary but no tears had fallen. The look of confusion made my heart ache. Usually the judge would not be able to say anything but Jeff broke that rule and asked me the question that would answer all of Harry's questions.

"I can tell that song held an important message to you. Something you may be going through with someone right now perhaps?" He asked raising one eye brow.

"Yeah. It was one of those last minute decisions that I hope I won't regret. I know he's watching this right now and I just hope he knows I have to do this for myself. Like the lyrics said. There's a place for our love in the future." I said solemnly never taking my gaze away from Harry. He looked like he understood but I could still see the pain hidden behind his eyes.

"I hope everything works out for the two of you." The judge said and gave me a head nod signalling for me to leave.

"Yeah me too." I heard Harry mumble to himself just as I left.
