Your Friends, They Look Good, But You Look Better.

Chapter Twenty-Seven.

Meghan’s P.O.V.

"They don’t think you’re the right girl for me..." Liam said, softly. Tears didn’t even wait in my eyes. They just gushed out. I know I'd heard the whole conversation, but hearing it from Liam just hurt. I lifted my bag and literally ran out of his house. I ran down to the park we were at the night before. I’ll show them what being fucking depressed is. I rummaged around in my bag for my trusty little friend. I pulled out the small but deadly blade. I didn’t hesitate to drag it across my skin and felt all my pain being released with just the one cut.

The next few hours were all a blur. I remember cleaning the cut a little then calling a taxi before Liam could find me. Right now I was sitting in the back of a taxi on my way back to London. I’d been in it for about an hour and a half so I should be back home soon. I had my iPod on and was almost falling asleep. Twenty long minutes later the driver stopped outside my building. I paid him and thanked him as I got out dragging my bag with me, my left arm stinging like hell. When I got in I ran hot water over it then wrapped a bandage around it. I quickly changed into my pyjamas and jumped into bed, checking my phone. I smiled as I saw who I had a message from.

Zayn!: Hey Megs :) Liam has just asked me to check if you’re home? xxx

Megs!: Yeah I am. Tell Louis to be at mine for about half 6 in the morning. He’ll understand. Oh and don’t let Harry hear you! :) Night xxx

I set my phone on my bedside table and quickly fell asleep, ignoring the day’s events. Tomorrow is going to be Aimee’s day. I have to forget about Liam for now.

My phone woke me up my ringing and vibrating on the wood of my bedside table. I lifted my it and answered it, half asleep. "Heeeellloooo?" The word was taken over by a yawn.

"TIME TO GET UP! BIGGEST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR! GET UP AND READY! I’LL BE AT YOURS FOR HALF 6! HURRY UP!" Aimee yelled through the phone. I groaned and put the phone under the pillow. "GET UP NOW!" She yelled again. I could still hear her through my pillow.

"I’m up." I groaned.I hung up on her before she screamed at me anymore. I slowly dragged myself out of bed and headed for the shower. The water stung like a bitch on the cuts. I hopped out feeling more awake. I wrapped a towel around myself and headed back into my room. I changed into a grey and white thinly striped t-shirt, some skinny jeans, a denim jacket and white Converse. I was in the bathroom finishing my hair and makeup when I heard knocking. I knew it would be Louis since Aimee had a key. I quickly checked that the cuts on my arm were covered then opened the door. Louis walked in smiling as I walked back into the bathroom. I finished up and walked back out to find...

Liam’s P.O.V.

I stood around the corner unseen when Meghan answered the door. I walked in behind Louis being as quiet as possible. Meghan walked back out of the bathroom looking gorgeous. Her mouth fell open when she saw me. "What are you doing here?" She asked, shocked.

"I came to be with my girlfriend when her best friend auditions for X Factor?" I said as a kind of question. I smiled at her and moved closer. She stepped back a little. Louis just stood there awkwardly then went to watch TV.

"You shouldn’t be here; your mum doesn’t think I’m good enough for you."

"You aren’t. You’re too good for me. Knowing they don’t want me with you makes me want to be with you even more." I said, honestly.

"Then why didn’t you stop me from leaving?"

"If you love someone let them go, but if they-" I started.

"Come back, it's true love." Meghan finished for me. She looked down at the floor for a minute then looked up smiling and blushed a little. I gave a massive sigh of relief and hugged her.

"They’ll come round eventually. Right now, all I care about is you." I whispered in her hair. I looked into her eyes. We both started leaning in. We were so close to kissing when Louis shouted; "AIMEE!" We both pulled away awkwardly and I looked around to see Aimee standing in the doorway dressed in skinny jeans, a pink shirt, a pink patterened blazer and matching heels. We shipped out the door by Louis because if we didn't leave right now, we would be late. Louis and I got  into our car while Meghan got into Aimee’s dad’s car where mum and dad were waiting.

Harry’s P.O.V.

Louis and Liam were being very secretive. They would talk about something or someone then when I walk into the room, they’d stop. I “accidentally” overheard them saying they were meeting up at Meghan’s at half 6 in the morning.I woke up extra early to follow them to see what was happening. I parked around the corner from Meghan’s building to wait on them. Louis and Liam arrived then about ten minutes later Aimee arrived. She got out of the car looking beautiful. She walked into the building and returned minutes later with Meghan, Liam and Louis. Both cars drove off and I waited a few minutes before following them.

They drove into the car park for the O2 arena.There were about a hundred other people there but more people were turning up every minute. Then it hit me. X FACTOR AUDITIONS ARE TODAY!

Meghan’s P.O.V.

After hours of queuing, Aimee was finally called backstage to get ready to audition. I had the feeling we were being followed all day but I just thought it was a crazed 1D fan following Liam and Louis. Aimee gave her name and everything to the judges. I was so nervous I wasn’t even paying attention to what was going on until Aimee started to sing. She was singing 'Jar of Hearts' by Christina Perri. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCpwAe2E4MQ&feature=related)

The song wasn’t even half way through when a dude in a beanie and sunglasses ran up to us. He pulled of his glasses to reveal Harry. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, rather annoyed.

"I followed you all to see what you were being so secretive about. Aimee’s singing that about me isn’t she?" He said.

"And what if she is? You’re the last person she wants here so leave before she sees you." I said, rather bitchy.

"I need to talk to her!" He pleaded.

"Everyone shut up they’re gonna vote!" Louis said, shushing us. We all stopped and turned to face the monitors.

"I loved that. You have a gorgeous voice. Yes!" Kelly Rowland said. Aimee smiled a little.

"Hell yeah! I loved that!" Tulisa grinned, making Aimee's smile get slightly bigger.

"I could see you going far. Yes!" Louis Walsh added. Once again her smile grew.

"It’s a yes from me. Very well done. We’ll see you at boot camp." Gary Barlow finished off. We all screamed back stage. Liam pulled me into a tight hug, letting go off me when Aimee walked backstage looking shocked but excited all at the same time. I hugged her.

"WELL DONE! I’M SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU!" I screamed. I pulled away and watched Aimee’s face drop. She’d noticed Harry.

"Congratulations..." He said, awkwardly.

Aimee’s P.O.V.

"Congratulations..." Harry said, looking out of place.

"Um, thanks." I mumbled and looked down.

"We’ll go get something to eat. Text me when you want us to come find you. Congratulations again." Meghan, Liam and Louis walked off leaving me with Harry. Brilliant.

"I need some air." I sighed. I headed for the fire escape door leading to the back of the arena. I pushed it open and walked out into the crisp London air. It was around 3 in the afternoon. I sat on the edge of a footpath watching disappointed people walk to their cars, crying because they didn’t get through. I felt someone sitting beside me. I looked over to see Harry. Fuck.

"Can we talk?" He asked, looking at me, but not in the eyes.

"I don’t want to talk to you." I said, flatly.

"Fine, I’ll talk, you listen." He replied. Fuck.
