It was audition day, for Louis Tomlinson. Louis stood next to the mirror in his room quickly glancing at his appearance as his girlfriend, Hannah, fixed his black tie and his blue button-up shirt with a collar. Louis had also thrown on a grey cardigan, maybe hiding the possible sweatstains he might get from being so nervous. He constantly got the 'you'll do fine, babe' from his girlfriend, but he wasn't too sure himself.

"Louis! Hannah! Time to go!" Louis' mum, Jay, called from downstairs probably preparing a quick car-ride snack for everyone. The Tomlinson house was already loud with chaos, due to the fact that it held Louis' four little sisters, Charlotte, Felicite, Daisy and Pheobe. Plus there was Louis' parents of course.

Hannah pecked a quick kiss to Louis' lips before they headed out the door and to their destination. Louis had decided to sing Hey There Delilah by The Plain White Tees for his audition, hence the fact that he heard it on the radio non-stop and he knew most of the words.

Once Louis, a couple of his sisters, Hannah and Louis' parents had arrived, Louis got even more nervous. Before he knew it, Hannah's lips were pressed on his cheek, his family's hands were patting his back as he walked up the stairs and onto the stage, microphone in hand.

"My name's Louis Tomlinson." Louis said into the microphone when asked. The judges did not ask many questions, instead they let him sing right away.

Once Louis was finished, he could hear the echoing roar of applause from the audience, which was a good thing of course. But that only made him a little less nervous, because the judges still had to decide. The audience soon died down from admiring and Louis received three 'yeses' from the judges. Louis sighed in relief, unable to stop smiling as he walked off the stage to be congratulated by his loved ones.

It was a rainy day in Cheshire, England. Harry Styles, age 16, had made sure not to miss his alarm this time. Even though he was abslolutely exhausted and just plain stressed from completing his GCST's only the day before, but he was ready. Ready for his life to change.

Harry rushed down the stairs, hair mopped to the side like usual, grey cardigan flying behind him like a cape as he ran into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. His mum Anne, stepdad Robin and sister, Gemma had only walked downstairs minutes later looking almost as nervous as himself. Harry also admired the many supportive text messages he had received from his friends and relatives.

Once they arrived at the arena the audtions would be held at, Harry was quickly chosen out of the many people in the long line outside to be interviewed. They asked him his name, age, and about his band at the time, White Eskimo.

Soon enough, Harry heard his name being called to go on stage, causing his heart to pound in his chest, but somehow, he managed to remain confident. As he walked on stage, he suddenly felt an overwhelming feeling he couldn't describe. This was one of the biggest crowds he's sung in front of, even if there weren't too many people, it was still intense. The audience cheered for him as he stood on the 'X' placed on the stage. Some people even awed at Harry, thinking he was just so adorable. Soon enough, everyone knew Harry's name, where he worked, his age and studies, also learning that he was extremely cheeky. Harry began singing Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder until Simon held up his hand for the signal to stop singing. The audience cheered but Harry was still as nervous and confident as he was when he began singing.

Harry then recieved his first answer, which was a 'no' from the judge Louis Walsh. Of course, the other two judges completely disagreed and Harry exited the stage with two 'yeses'.
