Torn (Ft. Alli & Cody Simpson)

He's Back

"Mimi! Wake up!" Ugh Cody!

"Why! It's only been like ten minutes!" I whined. I was still tired because of all the drama.

"No, we're here in LA!" I jolted my head towards the window. I could see all these skyscrapers, nothing special.  I didn't care, I've always wanted to come here, and become famous! And now I might!

"Please stay seated until we land." We heard a lady say over the speaker. I'm so excited! Today we are starting the first elimination round for the X-Factor! I just got to forget all that happened back home.

I looked out the window and saw we are landing! Yay! Cody could tell I was really excited! "It's only LA!" He laughed at me.

Cody and I got off the plane to be greeted by our best friends, paparazzi.

"Go away you bastards! She's had a bad couple days. Don't make it worse!" Cody yelled at them. They didn't stop taking pictures. Finally,  Demi got off the plane so they all ran to her and left us.

"I hate them! Why can't I sing on the X-Factor and be friends with you even though your a judge!" I've seen the articles, despite Cody trying to get rid of them from my laptop. He forgot I have a phone. I've seen "Mimi Clark dating Cody Simpson so she can win X-Factor?", "Friends Forever? Or just until she wins?", and, "The Fake Friend".

"Mimi! Hey!" I hear a voice I dreaded. I turned around to see Christian. I could see Cody get tense.

He walked up to us. "What are you doing here?!" I yelled at him.

"Same as you, X-Factor. Didn't Cody tell you? He even said I was a good singer." I turned my head to give Cody a death glare. "So well, Mimi wanna hang later?"

I was fed up with this kid, "Did you forget you cheated on me for the school slut? Cause I do! So let me think, no! I don't want to hang with you! I'd rather die!"

"Calm down! Well I'm going to get going now! Bye!" He kind of fast walked away. Good.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" I scream whispered at him.

"I didn't want to make your day any worse..." He trailed off. As long as I don't see him I'll be fine.

"I have to do what?!" I scream at Simon!

He sighed, "You have to sing a duet with Christian for the first elimination round. We're trying something new for the first round.

"But Simon! I can't!" He rolled his eyes at me.

"Yes, yes you can. You better have it ready by tonight."
He told me.

"So Mimi! What song do you want to do? We can do a love song!" He winked at me.

"How about no. I don't like you like that, and after you cheated on me, I never will." I just rolled my eyes.

"Mimi!" I turned to see Alli running towards me and then she gave me a hug.

"What are you doing here Alli? I thought you were still back in Boston."

"Well you know, being home alone is kind of boring so you know I got a flight to come out here! My mom, dad, and Tommy are here too!" She looked over my shoulder. "Why is he here?"

"Well I guess he's on X-Factor. And I have to do a duet with him." I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. But on a happier note guess who's birthday is in three days?" I decided to act dumb.

"Um, Justin Bieber's?" Alli shook her head with an amused face on.

"No silly! Yours!" Truth is I wasn't really that excited. Ever since I left Australia my birthdays sucked. No one ever remembered, besides Alii and Cody who could only text me.

"Oh wow!  I had no idea. So what are you getting me? Hmmm?"

"Same old Mimi! I can't tell you yet, but trust me, mine won't compare to Cody's!" I tried giving her the puppy dog eyes.

"Ok...my present is coming early. Your dad is coming!" My face lit up instantly.

"Wait, your parents are divorced?" We totally forgot Christian was still in the room.

“Um, yeah, they have been for a while now. Aren’t you supposed to be picking out the song we have to sing or something?” I asked him.

“What? I thought you were doing that?” Hate. This. Kid.

“Well you thought wrong. Wait. I have an idea!”

“Ok, Mimi and Christian you’re up.” Simon told us.

“Actually it’s Christian and-” I glared at hi.

“Just shut up!” I yelled at him and rolled my eyes.

Someone gave us our microphones. In the audience it just was the other contestants, and the judges. I glanced at Cody, he noticed and we winked. Here goes nothing.

 

Christian:

Rule number one, is that you gotta have fun
But baby when you're done, you gotta be the first to run

 

Me:
Rule number two, just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
So le-le-let me tell you

Both:
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do! 

Cause I lo-lo-love you

Me:
Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat

 

Christian:
Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more

Both:
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

Cause I lo-lo-love you

Me:
Girls, we do, whatever it will take
Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
So it's better to be fake, can't risk losing in love again, babe

Both:
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you

Cause I lo-lo-love you

At least I think I do.

The music stopped. Cody got up and started clapping, everyone just looked at him funny.

“I liked that rendition of that song! It was so cute! Like you two! Obviously yes!” Demi told us. She was such a sweetheart.

“I could definitely feel the emotion. I say yes.” L.A. told us.

“That was great! Encore! I vote yes.”  Cody said. I just smiled and shook my head at him.

It seemed like everyone looked at Simon. We just needed to say yes and we’re in! I could tell Christian was impatient so of course,

“So?” he said in his most annoyed voice.

“I say…”
