The Truth

Chapter 4

Louis didn't know why, but he was very much intrigued by the curly haired boy. He was jiddery as he picked up Louis' phone, instantly inspecting it for any breakage. Louis couldn't help but smile when the other boy smiled when he found that the phone was fine. 

"I'm so sorry I ran into you there. I'm such a clutz," the boy says blushing as he gives the phone back. 

"It's ok mate. Don't worry about it," Louis smiled trying to calm the poor boy. "What's your name mate?" 

"M'name is Harry. What about you?" 

"Louis the Tommo Tomlinson," Louis answered with a wink as he tucked his phone into his pocket. "But you can just call me Louis. Are you trying out for the X Factor? You look awfully young," Louis asked with some worry. He didn't want to offend Harry by saying that he looks too young. He loved his voice though. It was so deep and it was nice to listen to and he didn't want to hurt the poor guy's feelings. Harry didn't seem bothered. 

"I've been told that many times since I got here," Harry jokes. "To answer your question though, yes I am. I'm singing 'Isn't She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder. What are you singing Louis?" Harry asks trying to get used to saying 'Louis'. He was really funny and he really wanted to get to know Louis better. 

"You," Louis begins with a point of a finger, "will have to stay and find out. I have to go now. Good luck!" Louis says with a wink and walks out the bathroom. He honestly doesn't know why he didn't just tell Harry what he was singing but he truly wanted Harry to stay and watch his audition. He wanted Harry to like his voice and compliment him. To really explain it, Louis just wants Harry to like him and be his friend. Why? Louis didn't know and didn't really worry about the reason. He was too busy trying to calm his mum down on why he was gone for so long.

"Lauren Lawrence"

Louis still had a bunch of time left til he went out to sing so he was still kind of calm. He and Zayn were listening to the other contestants and now that the L's were here, Zayn was getting frantic over whether or not this was a good idea still. Louis rolled his eyes.

"You are going to be great Zee. You're just letting your nerves win. You have to calm yourself and believe that you can do this. The judges are going to love you!" Louis wasn't sure if he was just encouraging Zayn or himself too. He knew he was ok now..but when the S's start he'll be just as frantic as Zayn right now. 

"Zayn Malik" 

"Oh God Oh God Oh God OH God..." Zayn repeated over and over as he walked out to the stage. Louis couldn't help but laugh as he watched Zayn whisper it til he was standing firmly on the 'X' in the middle of the stage. 

"What's your name?" Simon asks.

"My names Zayn." 

"Zayn. What are you going to sing?" 

"Mario..ugh..Let Me Love You." 

"Ok," Simon nods.

Your the type of woman 

deserves good things

fist full of diamonds

hand full of rings

baby you're a star

I just wanna show you you are 

you should let me love you

let me-

Simon raises his hand and Zayn stops singing. 

Louis was so proud of Zayn and was so engrossed with what the judges were saying that he didn't notice someone tapping on his shoulder. His stomach flips when Louis says yes and he jumps in excitement, making the person who tapped him on the shoulder shriek in surprise.
