Ill Protect You - Sam Callahan

Chapter Eleven

Esmes POV

I almost jumped out of my skin as my morning alarm rang, signalling me to wake up

Butterflies instantly filled my stomach, tonight is live shows! The theme is 'Love and Heartbreak'

I slammed my hand hard, down on the top of the alarm, turning it off - I might have broken it ......

I struggled out of bed, and performed my daily morning routine that goes like this,

Shower, then blow dry my hair, do makeup before getting dressed and grabbing an apple to eat in the cab because I'm normally late

I let out a sigh of relief as the Xfactor studio came in sight, I had to come here early to film my VT

"Nicole!" I squealed, running slow motion over to her and hugging her before before performing our signature handshake

"Esme!" She laughed, grabbing my hand and dragging me over to the green screen room

She motioned me to the chair that was placed behind a bunch of large men holding cameras

I spoke my lines that were being held up for me to read, and after 2 hours we finally achieved a whole tape without me bursting into laughter!

"That's a wrap" the director shouted, and the lights were flicked back on

"Nicole said to meet her in her dressing room" the tall, male assistant spoke, gesturing me to the dressing room down the hall

"Right, thanks" I smiled, skipping down the hallway and into the lavish, cream dressing room

"Hey!" I sang, running over to the sofa where Nicole, Sharon, Gary and Louis were sat

"There's no need to speak to them, They were just leaving" Nicole laughed,

"Ha ha" Sharon said sarcastically

"By the way, looks like you and Sam were enjoying yourselves last night!" Louis chuckled, as Sharon pulled a kiss face

"Oh My God" I groaned, covering my burning cheeks with my hands

"She's blushing!" Gary laughed, before Nicole pushed him out the door

"Finally, their gone!" She joked, wiping her forehead with her hand

"Soo, I'm guessing your date went good?!" She continued, falling back down on the leather sofa

"It was" I struggled to find a word good enough to describe last night "perfect"

"Aww" she cooed, pinching my cheeks and ruffling my hair "where did he take you?"

I pulled out my phone, showing her the picture of the scenery

"it was so cute, there was fairy lights and rose petals!" I giggled

"Nicholas told me that Sam hired him as your waiter!"

I laughed, remembering last nights perfect date

"Kingsland road!" The famous XFactor-Voice bellowed

Once again, I was freaking out. Sam was holding my shoulders, attempting to calm me down

"Babe, chill out" he chuckled, watching me as I kept blabbering with out stopping for air

"Butwhatifimessupandeveryonelaughsatme! Orwhatififallofthestageormissoneofmynotes! ThisisLIVEtvsamicantbedoinganythingembarrasingwithoutthewholewor-"

Sam cut me off and pulled me close to him, pressing his lips to mine for a second. I could hear wolf whistles from behind us, but I didn't care. I wanted to stay like this forever, it was perfect.

Reluctantly pulling away, I glared at Luke playfully, who instantly stopped whistling as shuffled away

"You'll do fine" Sam encouraged me, pushing me to the stage entrance as Kingsland Road ran off and my VT was shown

I was then beckoned onto the stage, one of the assistance stage crew handing me my mike

My music began to start and I began to sing my song, Battle Field by Jordin Sparks


Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
And suddenly it's like a battlefield

One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you gone
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands, tied behind my back for nothing
Oh no,
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like

Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender then we both gonna lose
What we had, oh no

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing
(Nothing)
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?

Guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
(Oh oh oh)
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
'Cause baby, we don't have to fight

And I don't want this love to feel like
A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armor

I never meant to start a war
(Start a war)
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(Fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?

Guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
Guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)

Why does love always feel like?
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Why does love always feel like?
A battlefield, a battlefield

I never meant it, to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant it, to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting
