Ill Protect You - Sam Callahan

Chapter Two

"I'll miss you!" Sophia sang, wrapping her soft, chubby arms around my neck

"I'll miss you more baby! Will you come visit me?" I cooed, scooping her up in my arms for a second before placing her down on the ground

"No!" She giggled, her beautiful eyes shining

I gasped "No?!" I mock offended, tickling her belly and moving on to Brandon

"Bye Es" he sighed, enclosing my in a warm hug

"I'll see you soon, love you" I love my relationship with Brandon, we were so close .... As children I have memories of us being best friends playing in the garden or fighting over our toys , I miss that......

"Mummy!" I cried, feeling my mums tears on my shoulder

"Are you sure you want to go? Maybe wait until next year?" She suggested, planting a kiss on my cheek

Ignoring the question, I heard the cab beep outside, that was my cue

"I'll see you all on Saturday for live shows! Love you!" I waved, grabbing the handle of my suitcase and dragging outside.

"I'll help you with that ma'am" The driver stated, easily picking up my heavy suitcase and placing it in the trunk

"Thank you" I smiled, relaxing on the leather seats and pulling out my phone, opening up instagram and scrolling to my hearts content

"10 minutes until we reach the Corinthian ma'am" I nodded in response, returning to my phone. I started to get nervous, butterflies fluttering in my stomach. My foot started to tap nervously on the cab floor

"That's £31.90 please ma'am" I handed over the money with a smile, watching as the man handed me my suitcase

"Thank you!" I smiled, giving a wave before approaching the glass doors of the Corinthian hotel

"Hello! I'm Esme Jacobs" I informed the woman, who nodded once she had checked the list

"All xfactor contestants on the 11th floor, meet the judges in the dining hall at 6pm" she sighed, her voice pained my ears to listen to

"Thanks" I mumbled, grabbing my keys and set of towards the lift

"Floor three" The elevator came to a halt and the doors opened sharply

"Thank god! An Xfactor contestant!" I heard a sigh of relief, looking around to find just about the most gorgeous boy ever. His hair, his eyes, his voice.....perfection

"Lost?" I laughed, loosening my grip on the suitcase

"Just a bit" he smirked, leaning against the elevator wall

"So you're an XFactor contestant?" I questioned, watching the numbers on top of the lift go up and up and up

"Yeah, aren't you?" The lift bell rang, we both left the elevator simultaneously

I nodded in reply "who else of the boys got through?"

"Nicolas and Luke, the girls?"

"Tamera and Hannah" I smiled, glancing at the room numbers moulded into the wall

304, 305, 306, 307, 308

"This is me" I smiled, stopping at number 308

"Byee" I sang, twisting the door nob

"Wait! I didn't get your name?" He stopped me

"Esme"

"Nice to meet you Esme, I'm Sam" And with that I closed the door, reaching in the fresh scent of cinnamon candles.. God this is a posh hotel!
