Prologue

A deep breath is taken as a dark haired brunette, known as Ariella Edyvean, cluctched her two best friends' hands. Her eyes were full of a mixture of worry and anxiety as her dark brown gaze fluttered around the crowd. Some, she could see, were shouting, "Legally Young! Legally Young!" She felt her heart pounding more and more everytime she heard the two words.

Legally Young; in other words, the name of a band made up of five girls between the ages of seventeen and nineteen. Like many famous bands, they were put together when they entered the x-Factor as soloists. Simon was the one who created the group, and he knew he had made a great choice as soon as he heard them sing. Since the beginning, this band has posed as a threat for the other contestants, and they dominated the voting charts.

The brunette smiled a bit as she thought about what she'd become a part of since this competition had begun. Honestly, this was something she had last expected when entering the contest. She had met four other girls and they all became instant best friends. Speaking of them, she took this time to look to her right at a dirty blonde haired girl standing there, biting her lip and looking like she had fallen into a trance as her eyes strayed along the people of the crowd. This girl's known as the lovely Audrey Johnson, or to some, the prankster. Ah, yes, she always had a spark of mischief in her bright blue eyes. And it seemed to shine brighter everytime she had an idea in her head. Though she might look harmless, she's sneakiest and most sly girl Ariella had ever met.

Blinking, Ariella turned her dark brown eyes to her left and saw her other three best friends; a lighter haired brunette and two other blondes. The brunette, who was holding her other hand, had an almost determinded look on her face as she looked out to the crowd. Kathryn Fauks was her name, and Ariella watched her carefully as if she expected her to do something out of the ordinary. Which wouldn't be unusual, since that girl was full of surprises. Then her gaze became drifted towards one of the blondes, who had maybe the prettiest eyes she'd ever seen. She immediately recognized her as Isabelle White. Her pretty blue eyes revealed how tired she was. 'Probably from the partying she did last night,' Ariella thought, knowing how much of a party animal the girl was. Then, at the end, she spotted her last, but certainly not least, best friend Alison Scott. Being the girly-girl she was, the blonde was currently taking a look at her nails of her free hand, though stopped when Isabelle nudged her gently and gave her a look. Ali gave the girl a sheepish smile and glanced back at the crowd, waiting desprately for the winner to be called.

Suddenly, after what seemed like hours or maybe only a few seconds, Mario Lopez's voice sounded through the microphone. "The winner of x-Factor is Legally Young!" Ariella's mouth dropped, wondering if she had heard right. Did he really just say what she thought..? Immediately, a smile broke out across her face, and she started jumping up and down and hugging her best friends, who were equally excited. The crowd stood up and cheered, adding a background to this amazing moment.

"We did it!" the voice of Kathryn rang out, her eyes bright with complete excitement.

"I say we party!" Isabelle suggested, earning an amused eyeroll from Ariella.

While the girls were celebrating, Simon Cowell had joined them on stage, grinning happily at the band of girls. Ariella looked up when she felt his hand on her shoulder, and she grinned happily at him, throwing her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you, thank you!" she beamed, feeling his chest shake slightly when as he chuckled.

"You girls have earned it," he murmured as she pulled away, grabbing the microphone from Mario's hand and facing the roaring crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's give one more round of applause for Legally Young!" He gestured to the girls as the crowd became even louder. Each of the girls had an arm wrapped around each other's waist in a long chain. Their eyes were each bright with fresh excitement.

"Alright," Simon said after a few long moments, waiting patiently until the crowd quieted down a bit. He turned to the five girls, and Ariella felt her grin broaden slightly. "I have promised the winner a surprise package, and that's going to be revealed right now."

A couple of the girls let out an excited squeal, though Ariella could only stare with excitement as Simon smiled almost proudly and looked amoung the people. "And their surprise? They'll be touring with one of the most well known artists in the world."

Ariella met the other girl's eyes and heard one of the girls exclaim, "I hope it's Maroon 5! Adam Levine is my future husband, after all."

After she said that, the guesses started flowing in.

"I bet it's Christina Aguilera!"

"Maybe it's Ed Sheeran."

"No! It has to be Cher Lloyd."

"What if it's Demi Lovato? It has to be her!"

Suddenly, Simon's voice broke off the girls' thoughts. "Give a massive welcome to one of the biggest boybands in the world, One Direction!"

The five girls stopped what they were doing, completely silent as Simon's words slowly became a reality. They would be touring with One Direction. Seriously.

Ariella heard Kathryn mutter something under her breath and Isabelle groan lightly as they turned to see the five guys of One Direction walking out on stage. She wore a fake smile as she glanced at the boys.

How did this great day turn so terrible in the blink of an eye?
