Chapter 5

I get to boot camp and we go straight into the audition room. I sit with everyone else in front of the four judges. The judges talk for a bit about the next days and some people sing. Now it's my turn.

"Jai." Ronan says. I stand up walk to the speaker thing, I pick up a microphone and stand were everyone else did when they sang.

"Hey. What are you going to sing?" Red Foo says.

"Titanium by David Guetta." I say. They nod and I start to sing.........after singing a couple of words I realise I sang the wrong song. I stop for a couple seconds then start to sing Titanium.

"You sang the wrong line." Ronan says.

"I did.. I did." I say. They finish talking and I sit down. Well I am not going through. I know it. Everyone sings and the judges talk; decide and tell us who got through to the next round of boot camp. I stand there and I hear

"Jai." I look up not believing.

"Oh my gosh." I whisper and walk out of the room where everyone who had their name called are.

A few days later I am through to home visits. 'Yeah baby!' As Red Foo would say. I just can't wait to tell my mother and My girlfriend, they will be so happy that I got through. I dial Celia's number and she picks up on the first ring.

"JAI." She yells through the phone.

"Hey!" I say.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" She keeps yelling.

"Calm down!" I say while sort of laughing.

"Sorry. I just miss you so much." She says.

"I miss you too. Anyway your gunna scream but I got through!" I say. Like I said scream.

"OMG! YAY." She says/yells.

"Are you coming home before you go?" She asks.

"Of course anyway I am coming home tonight I have to go. Bye I love you." I say.

"I love you too." She says and I hang up.

I stand ten metres away from my front door wondering if my mother or Celia is going to come running out begging for hugs then....

"Jai!" Celia comes running out she jumps into my arms and hugs me.

"So happy your home." She says.

"Me too." I say. We walk inside were my mum is waiting, next to a cake. I smile.

"Happy birthday Celia." I say.

"I thought you forgot. You said nothing on the phone." She says almost tearing up.

"Of course not." I say.

"I would never forget your birthday." I say. I drop my bag on the ground and it makes a huge clomp. Brad runs down the stairs.

"SURPRISE." He yells with his hands in the air.

"Hey great to see you bro." I say and we do our brotherly hand shake and hug.

"Well you gunna cut the cake." I say looking into Celia's eyes.

"Okay." She says.Mum takes hundreds of photos with her new camera she got a couple of weeks ago and Brad stands next to Celia. My mum passes her the knife and she walks to the cake; I stand closely to her and she slowly lowers the knife through the cake, touching the bottom of the cake; Clearly deliberate.

"Oh. You have to kiss the closest boy now." Mum says. Brad quickly shuffles sideways. We look at him like WTF? Celia then turns around and looks at me.

"Was that deliberate?" I ask quietly.

"Could be." She confidently says to me. I roll my eyes.

"Well then." Brad says eager to see us kiss.

"Shut up Brad." I say not taking my eyes off Celia. We both lightly touch our lips together and the others clap and mum takes a photo.

"MUM!" I exclaim.

"Sorry. It's cute." She says. If I had of not of forgotten my mother was there I wouldn't have kissed Celia but I did.

"We should have cake then go swimming." Brad says. We have a pool by the way, Brad does to but he always comes over here to swim even though his pool is bigger than mine.

We finish eating cake and we go get changed into our bathers. Celia walks down the stairs and she is wearing a bikini. It is plain red and she looks sexy. Brad stands next to me staring at Celia; drooling and I bitch slap him in the face, he thankfully snaps out of his daydream and Celia giggles. I only just realise she is standing in front of us when she makes a sound.

"Well lets go." She says and we walk outside, Brad running like a five year old in front of us. Celia and I sit on the stairs and talk while Brad jumps continuously into the pool.

"I missed you when you were away, even though I did get to know your mother better and you." She says.

"What did she tell you?" I say, worried. My mother is embarrassing. Every girlfriend I have had she has told them embarrassing things about when I was three and she never stays with me for long.

"Just stuff about when you were three." SHE'S DONE IT AGAIN.

"Celia don't leave me." I beg leaning on her legs.

"Jai. It's okay. I don't care about your fantasies." She says.

"Fantasies?" I ask as she lifts my chin up with her pointer finger.

"You know? The being a little rock star when you grow up; pretending to walk around the house singing and playing the air guitar." She says.

"She never said that before." I say and storm inside, searching for my irritating mother.

"Jai wait!" Celia runs after me.

"Leave me alone." I say and run into the kitchen were mum is reading a book while cleaning. How does she do that? It freaks me out.

"Mum what else did you tell her." I say. I lost Celia in the living room when I went through a door. My mother just looks at me like a stunned fish.

"What did I do?" She asks.

"Celia, what did you tell her?" I force.

"I didn't." She says. I feel so UGH frustrated. Why does she do this?

"Jai. Come back in the pool forget it." Celia says trying to pull me out of the room. She wins and I follow her. I start to tear.

"Jai, it isn't a big deal." She tries to make me feel better.

"No it is. She has ruined all of my relationships by telling them stuff like that. I just don't want to lose you because of her lies." I say.

"I am sure she didn't mean to hurt you. I still love you. I won't leave any time soon." She says...
