Musical Encounters

~Chapter 8: Meeting Simon Cowell~

Alice's P.O.V

I walked into my room slowly and took in surroundings Harry and Annabelle were on my bed watching Titanic. It was at the part where Rose let Jack go, a tear rolled down Bella's face and Harry's eyes were watering.

"I hate this part!" Annabelle whispered hiding her face in the pillow. I smiled and walked over to her, kneeling on the floor in front of her.

"I'll never let go Bella! I'll never let go!" I mocked Rose's voice, causing Annabelle to giggle.

"Shut up, this parts too sad." She muttered into the pillow.

"But it's funny! She's saying she won't let him go but she let him go as she said it." I smiled at her messed up form on the bed and she laughed loudly but it was muffled by the pillow.

"You two are so weird." Harry chuckled, at us.

"Thanks!" We smiled in sync at Harry, he laughed but focused on the t.v. again. Annabelle got out of my bed and went downstairs, most likely looking for food.

"Alice!! Do you have any ice-cream?!?" She corrected my thoughts.

"Back of the freezer top shelf to the left!" I answered, she came back up the stairs with 3 bowls of ice-cream.

"Thanks Bubby!" I smiled taking a bowl from her, she handed the other to Harry. He smiled at her and kissed her lips briefly.

"Simon said he would like to meet you." He said smiling brightly.

"Seriously?!?" She asked shocked, he nodded his head and she put her bowl on the bed side table. She did a happy dance around my room before she slipped and fell on her arse. She laughed and got up slowly walking back to the bed eating her ice-cream again.

~1 day~

Annabelle's P.O.V

I sat nervously in the front lobby waiting for Simon to call us in. Harry held my smaller hand in his big one. Alice sat on the other side of me for support.

"Annabelle?" Simon stepped out of his office looking at me with a smile. I slowly rise out of my seat and walked into his office.

"Thank you, Harry." I smiled as he pulled out my chair for me.

"You're welcome." He smiled his dimpled smile. Simon sat at his desk with his fingers swaying across his phone screen.

"So Annabelle, you want to start a career with singing. Correct?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes sir, that's the plan." I have the need to be kind to him... He's intimidating.

"Well when ever you're ready we can head down to my team and we'll decide." He smirked as he saw the fear on my face.

" Can we go now please?" I asked as my words sounded like a squeak. I cleared my throat and repeated myself earning a chuckle from him.

"Don't be so nervous Harry says you're amazing!" He smiled as I felt the blush creep into my face. Alice smiled at me reassuringly as we walked out of the room. We walked down a long hallway stopping at a double door.

"Ready?" Harry asked looking at me closely. I nodded with a smile, this is my dream I have to do this! I thought to myself as we walked into the room. Demi Lovato sat at a table with some other P.R people.

"Oh My God!" I whispered as Demi smiled at me kindly. Her smile grew as my eyes widened.

"I'm guessing you're a fan?" She walked over to me and shook Alice and my hand. I nodded before smiling big.

"So what will you be singing?" Simon asked from the corner of the room.

"Wait, Louis said he wanted to be here... If that's alright?" I said looking over at Simon. He nodded, and Harry laughed at his smirk.

"Am I missing something?" I asked confused. Harry pointed to the table and Louis was sitting there with a look of amusement on his face.

"Wait, what?!? Since when?!?" I asked as they all laughed at me.

"When you were talking to Demi he walked in." Alice explained, with a slight giggle.

"Whatever, I guess I'll sing ..... Someone Like You (Adele)“ I smiled lightly as Harry took a seat with Alice near Louis.

"I heard that you've settled down,that you've found a girl and your married now. I heard that your dreams came true, guess she gave you things I didn't give to you. Oh friend why ate you so shy ain't like you to hold back or hide from a lie." Harry had a smirk on his full lips.

"I hate to turn up out of the blue invited but I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it I hoped you see your face and that you're be reminded that me it isn't over." I took a deep breath coming to the chorus.

"Never mind I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you to, don't forget me I beg I remember you said sometimes it last in love but sometimes it hurts instead. Sometimes it last in love but sometimes it hurt instead yeah.

You know how the time flies only yesterday was the time of our lives. We were born and raised in a summer haze bound by the surprise, of our glory daze." Simon and Demi looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm actually impressed, you have a beautiful voice." Demi smiled, Alice gave me a thumbs up with a big smile.

"I told you she was amazing!" Harry exclaimed, looking at Lou whose jaw was dropped open.

"Catching flies Louis?" I asked sarcastically, Simon Laughed lightly along with Demi.

"YOU TOLD ME YOU LIKED SINGING YOU DIDN'T SAY, YOU SOUNDED THAT AMAZING!!" Louis screeched snapping back to earth.

"Sorry Boo-bear!" I said crushing him in a tight bear hug. He hugged me back, before Simon cleared his throat.

"We've made our decision." He said seriously looking at Harry who smiled at me with hope in his eyes. I stood up straight and nodded nervously. He smiled at me brightly before Demi said...

"We'd be more than happy to sign you with us." I jumped into Harry's arm hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I smiled shaking Demi's hand and Simon's as well. Alice hugged me tightly, before I did a random happy dance.

"You're so weird." Louis laughed, I stopped dancing and smiled innocently. We said our goodbyes to Simon and Demi before leaving to my house.

"DID THEY SIGN YOU?" Liam asked me as soon as I walked into the living room. I raised my eyebrows, in shock.

"How the Hell did you get in here?" I asked confused, he pointed to Paul sitting on the couch watching Sponge-Bob.
