Two Directions?

Are You Serious?

    The tension in the room was like a thick cloud, or maybe even like a blanket. The show had went to a commercial break and now we had to wait five minutes before we could know. On my part I thought it was stupid. We were all tired of waiting and had just been sent back here.

     The boys held their heads high and proud while Addalane hung her head low, ashamed of her mess up. We really didn't know what to do. So we all just sat down on the big couch while Lou braided my hair. 

    "Two more minutes." Addalane called out as she stared down at her watch. I felt my heart beat quicken just at the thought of hearing how we did. I texted Harry how long we had and he sent a curt ,"Good luck." I looked at my phones time and saw that we had but a minute. I looked up and saw everyone was staring at their phones or their watch.

     Not even thirty seconds later the guy who brought us out at first came back and escorted us out again. A big camera was pointed at us and we were back in the same position that we were in before the break. 

    "The winner of the 2013 X-Factor is..." They did the same thing again. We all reached out and clutched each others hands. 

    "Addalane! In third." They said. She gave a small sad smile. Our hands got tighter around each others. I could feel my palms perspire and my heart was going a mile a minute. 

    "Addicted To Dreaming, are the winners of the X-Factor 2013!" Simon said before he put his arms around us and gave us a big hug. We hugged him back before breaking apart and then we all huddled in a circle and did those annoying girly squeals while we jumped up and down happily. When we had finished we broke apart and couldn't stop smiling. 

    "Well girls meet back here tomorrow around four and we will announce who you five will be going on tour with." Simon said. We all nodded our heads and thirty minutes later we all left. 

    "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!" I yelled as we got into the truck. Zaylnn covered her ears and yelled back, 

    "YES WE CAN." I smiled at her and then rolled down my window before sticking my head out and yelling. I was on top of the world right now, well at least it felt like I was. 

    "Nia, get your head back in here." Lou scolded. I sighed and pulled back inside the truck, fully sitting down on the brown, worn out seat. Thus, I began bouncing up and down. 

    "I wonder what band or artist we will be touring with." I said as I continually bounced up and down in the seat. 

   "Only time will tell." Zaylnn said. I rolled my eyes and groaned. 

    "There she goes again with her wisdom shit." I said as I rested my head against the now closed window. I felt her hand connect with my arm and I yelped out in pain. I turned around and punched Zaylnn in her shoulder. She smacked my bare thigh and I sent a glare her way. I kicked her in her shin and then punched her thigh. 

    "Girls stop or I will pull over and stop it myself." Lou threatened. Zaylnn and I sank in our seats and quietly began to giggle. Quickly within five minutes, our giggles soon became a full on laughing fit. Lou was scolding us in the front seat but you could hear her chuckling, even over our hysteric cackling. 

    We finally pulled up to our house and when we exited the vehicle we were still laughing. The reason for our laughter was unknown to us at this point, but we couldn't stop laughing. 

    "At this point I expect you two to roll to the door instead of walk towards it." LiLi said as she walked past us. That had me crouching down, clutching my stomach. As my head was facing the floor I saw a pretty little roley poley.
