I Wanna Be Famous (Book 1)[Slow Updates]

Filmed Auditions

Hey guys! Although there will be a full author's note at the end, I would like to tell you guys that the song featured in this chapter is The Show by Lenka so if you want to listen to it you can. I would also like to remind you that I own no part of the featured song and I give whoever does own it all the credit.

Enjoy!

Ana' s Point of View

I stood backstage with a microphone in my hand, ready to go onstage for the first filmed part of the X Factor USA. I was so nervous. What if I didn't make it through that round? They are bound to drop at least half of the contestants this round. I'm surprised I even got this far.

Calm down Ana, I said to myself but it just made the butterflies turn into full grown birds in my stomach.

"Ana Nunez!" I heard an angelic voice say. I had heard that voice once before but I couldn't remember when. I didn't really care though. I was to scared to focus on anything but the audition.

I walked onto the stage and instantly stopped. There was 5 judges... not just any judges... it was fucking one direction! I swear these people were out to get me.

"Hi." I said sneakily with a small wave of my hand.

"Hello Ana! Why don't you tell us a no about yourself?" Asked Liam cheerfully.

"Well, um, I, uh, well I live about an hour south of Portland Oregon and I came here with my four friends, Shelby, Mikala, Savanna, and Emmy." I said nervously.

"That's like a five hour drive isn't it? You must really have your heart set on winning this!" Said Harry with a flirtatious wink. What an asshole.

"Well, I just kinda signed up because I wanted to get away from my family, but now that I'm here I decided I really want to win this." I replied with all the confidence I could muster. I wanted to show my family I was better than what they said.

"Well, go ahead." Said Liam.

"Go ahead with what?" I asked truly confused.

"Go ahead and sing." He said with a little chuckle. I looked next to him and saw that Niall was smiling at me. Did he remember me? Probably not. Nobody would remember little old me, especially a huge celebrity like Niall Horan.

"Oh, okay." I said and brought the mic up to my mouth.

I began to sing. It was a song that described me perfectly. Every word was true.

"I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, 

Life is a maze and love is a riddle, 

I don't know where to go, 

Can't do it alone I've tried, 

And I don't know why, 

Slow it down, 

Make it stop, 

Or else my heart is going to pop, 

Cause it's too much,  

It's a lot, 

To be something I'm not, 

I'm a fool,  

out of love, 

Cause I just can't get enough, 

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, 

Life is a maze and love is a riddle, 

I don't know where to go, 

Can't do it alone I've tried,
