Never Forgotten (L.T)

Chapter 5

*Louis's POV*(1-3 months later)
Abby and I obviously have kept in touch with each other just like we both promised. I mean I don't want to lose her especially if the cause is me being on X-Factor. We don't really get to hang out so we just video chat whenever we are both free. But anyway I was put in a group with four other lads Liam, Niall, Harry, and Zayn. They are all younger which I hate. But anyway now we are all like brothers and I'm happy the judges put us together.
So today the show decides who goes home in 3rd place. We are terrified that we won't last any longer but we are excited that we made it this far. Now we just hope we can make it farther.
We are on stage with the two other acts hesitantly waiting to find out who is going home tonight. Sadly Abby couldn't make it tonight because she isn't feeling well but she said she will try to watch it on TV.

*Abby's POV*
I'm so nervous for him. They have done so well the whole time they've been on X-Factor. They all sound amazing together and I know they've been working hard to try to get in the finals. I'm scared as shit right now because Louis hates giving up and I'm scared what will happen if they don't win. Yes it's third place but he hates losing and he will be heartbroken.

I'm at his house right now watching his little sisters while his mum is there.

"Is Louis going to win Abby?" Lottie asks. I look at her a smiled.

"I hope so Lottie. They've worked so hard I'm sure they'll win." I tell her reassuringly. I'm not so sure myself yes they are amazing, but the other contestants are quite good as well.

Then the show comes back on and they are about to announce who is going home.

"Lottie go grab your sisters. Tell them it's back on." I tell her. She walks off. \

She comes back with Fizzy besides her and Phoebe and Daisy. I grab the twins and put them on my lap and turn up the volume.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I'm not even paying attention to what they are saying. I just can't keep my eyes off of Louis and the worried expression on his face. I'm just waiting for them to announce who is leaving.

"And the final act to get through is...." the announcer says. My heart is beating rapidly. I look at Louis' sisters as they are looking at the TV intently.

"Rebecca" he finally says. And at that moment I feel my heart drop. That's it. They have third place.

Dead Silence.

That's what their is in the house. We all wanted to hear One Direction so we could just jump and rejoice, but we couldn't. Everything is muted. I can see Lottie will tears in her eyes, Fizzy keeping a shocked face and the twins not understanding what's going on.

Just then I heard Zayn say, "This isn't the last of One Direction." That was all I needed to hear for my heart to beat faster.

The boys get off stage and seconds later I hear my phone ding.

Louis: We didn't make it.

Abby: I know and I'm so sorry Louis. But you guys were amazing.

Louis: Were you watching?

Abby: Yes

Louis: Were the girls watching as well?

I don't know if I should tell him. Or should I just say no they went to bed. Either way he will be upset that they weren't watching their big brother perform and that they were watching but saw him lose.

Abby: Yes they were.

Louis: They shouldn't have been watching. Now they will see me as their big brother who lost X-Factor

Abby: Louis if I could've prevented them from watching then I would've, But they insisted, they really wanted to see you perform.

Louis: Okay I'm sorry but I have to go, We are leaving right now.

Abby: Okay bye.

*Louis' POV*

We lost. That's it, it's over. I don't even know what's going to happen after this. Simon called us to his office so I guess it's goodbye.

We go outside and I hear numerous screams. I look outside and there aren't hundreds, but possibly thousands of girls screaming and holding up posters, but for us.

I look at the boys and they look about as shocked as I do.

"Is this all for us?" Niall asks. I couldn't help but smile that these girls were no ordinary girls but supporters, our fans.

"I guess they are Niall." Liam says with a smile.

We go outside and the screams get louder. The girls are screaming, putting their hands out. When we walk up to them most of what we hear is can you please sign this or can I get a picture with you.

We say sure and take as many photos as we possibly could and sign things. That is until we had to leave.

we all head into the van and all the boys have wide smiles on their face.

"We have fans," Harry says. We all nod.

"Yes we do, but what is going to happen after we leave Simon's office?" Zayn says. We look at him with a disapproving look.

"What? It's true," He continues.

"Well we are still going to be mates. Just because we lost doesn't mean we have to forget everything that happened." I tell him. He stays silent.

"Right Zayn," I ask.

"Right," He smumbles. Not quite sure of his own answer.

I look at Liam and he just gives me the leave him alone look.

No idea what that was about.
