Caroline and Olly waited patiently behind the screens while the winner was being announced. "I bet James will win." Olly said breaking the silence. Caroline just nodded at him. She was so nervous about wether he still loved her or not and Olly was sensing this. "Caz, look at me babe." He said taking her hand. He saw Tim looking at them but shrugged it off, he didn't care anymore. "Caz, I still love you. I still very much want to be with you. Why are you so scared?" He asked sweetly. Caroline looked up at him with tears forming in her eyes. She felt his grip tighten on her hand. "What if it gets out of hand?" Caroline tried to fight back the tears. Olly knew automatically what she was talking about. He pulled her in to the tightest hug possible at that moment and she cried into his shoulder. "Lucky it's a black shirt, eh?" He said pulling away and looking at her. "Oi, Murs! Get the hint and kiss her." Tim shouted across to them. Caroline laughed so Olly did too. He leaned down to her level and let his lips gently touch hers. He didn't want to deepen the kiss, not when they were about to go on stage.

Olly's P.O.V
"Welcome to the final part of the Xtra Factor, and what fun it has been so far." I said looking down the camera. "We have so much to squeeze in to this final part. We will be talking to X Factors very own Dermot O'Leary and seeing if Olly can cope with another shot." Caroline looked at me and smiled as I put my head in my hands laughing. "Now, I love my boy but my boy can't drink..." Dermot chipped in. He was right, I am a TOTAL lightweight. "Alright, stop picking on me!" I said poking her playfully forgetting we were still on air. She blushed a little, but not so you would notice. "So anyway, Derms!.." We continued the interview.

"And that was Xtra Factor. There has been tears, smiles, drama and that was only backstage!" I joked. "Thank you to the contestants, the judges, Dermot and all the backstage crew. Oh and not forgetting Mr. Olly Murs!" Caroline said smiling. I smiled back at her. "No, thank you. It's been another amazing year and I can't wait for the after party!" I said winking at her, only we knew what it meant. "So, that's it. It's over. We will miss you all dearly! Your calls, tweets and pure cheekiness! Bye!" I shouted down the camera waiting for the camera to cut. After what seemed like forever "Cut, fantastic show! Lets get ready and go down to the after party!" Tim shouted at us all. Everybody filed out of the room leaving just Caroline, Tim and me. "Thanks for sticking to the rules. It was the hardest thing I had to do, splitting you two up. But it's over now, you can be together!" He smiled at us both and walked out. "He's right, it's over." Caroline said looking up at me. I leant down and kissed her with some passion, knowing we had to catch up to the others soon. She happily returned the kiss which caused a slight roar of cheers from the remaining camera men. I broke away and laughed. I looked at her to see her blushing and smiled. I put my hand in to hers and interlocked our fingers. "They will be wondering where we are..." I looked down at her, she nodded and we left together for the after party.
Caroline's P.O.V
I was so happy. Olly took my hand and we walked out of the studios for the last time this year. When we got outside I shivered standing in the snow that was falling around us. "What's the matter?" Olly asked me, concerned. "Err, I forgot my jacket!" He just stood and laughed at me wearing a short dress and tights. "Come here, have mine." He said taking his jacket off and putting it around my shoulders. He put his arms around my waist as he did, making us both smile. We messed around the whole way to the party. Olly started a mini snowball fight with me and I made a tiny snowman. We had so much fun in those 5 minutes. "We're here." I said looking at Olly. My mouth met his for a second then I pulled away, walking in to the party I could feel his body straight behind mine and felt safe.

We were greeted by Tulisa at the bar who hugged us both. "What kept you so long?" She asked questioning me and Olly. We both stood silence and before we could speak Tulisa started again. "OMG, don't tell me... You finally got together!" She said joking, except me and Olly just looked at eachother. She caught on straight away. "No way!!!" She smiled at us and felt the need to make a big announcement to the whole party. I leant my head on to Olly's chest blushing and he put his arms around my body. "EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!" She shouted over the noise. Everybody stopped talking. "Oh god..." I heard Olly say in to my hair. "I think all of you should know that Olly and Caroline are finally together!" She smiled at us both blushing and the whole room cheered and clapped causing us both to go bright red. "Do you have nothing better to do?" Olly laughed, blushing. They all smiled at us and continued with the party. "Well, couldn't have gone better really..." Olly whispered in to my ear.
