Closer Than We Thought: Camren

Chapter 1: Camren

Ok so, I got a new idea for this fanfic, so if you've already started reading and are confused: I am terribly sorry.

Lauren's POV:

I was sitting cross-legged on the stage floor. I'd made it past the first round of the X-Factor auditions, and was now competing in the "boot camp" portion. A couple of people had gone already, and I was anxiously waiting for my turn. I was playing with my split-ends, trying to contain my nervous energy when I heard the beginning of "Your Song", by Elton John blasting through the speakers. I snapped my head up, directing my attention away from my hair. There was an extremely tiny girl with long dark hair flowing down her back. I think her hair was thicker than the rest of her body, to be honest. Next to her was a guy I'd recognized from earlier auditions. They were both about to battle by song and try to win over the judges with their voices. Whoever's voice was the strongest, survived. The tiny girl belted out a few bars and my jaw dropped. I listened to the sweet melodies in her voice as it ran up and down octaves. My palms starting sweating. This girl was amazing, this girl was better than anyone else I'd listened to all day. She blew that guy out of the water. I kind of pitied him, he must've known that he didn't stand a chance now. She shyly said thank you and blushed, looking down at the ground after the judges complimented her. She seemed so fragile and scared and I had an urge to run over and hug her. I wonder if she even knows how great she is. If anything, she should be confidently staring into the judges faces, letting them know she conquered their challenge. I know I would be, if I had a voice like that.

She finally turned around, and I caught a glimpse of her face. She had big brown eyes, and long eyelashes. Her lips were a soft pink color, and she was wearing a high waist-ed skirt with pink heels. She lost her balance and almost fell and it took all my self control not to laugh. She was kind of adorable, and I wished I'd been paying attention earlier to when they called her name. Her eyes locked with mine for a brief second, and I wanted to smile at her but my mind had forgotten to tell my mouth how to work. I wanted to know who she was, I wanted to get closer to her. I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that she was going to be very important to me.

No, Lauren, not again, I thought to myself, That's the whole reason you'e even here. Don't get close to anybody here.

Camila's POV:

My legs were shaking, and I felt like I was about to collapse underneath them. I was too nervous to stare directly into the judges eyes. I was even too scared to look at the guy I'd just sang with. I was a current contestant on the X-Factor USA and this was only the 3rd time I'd ever sung in front of an audience. My own mother didn't even know I sang, until I dragged her to the first audition with me. I finished my song, and was now waiting for the judges to say something.

"That was really great, I think you should sing more pop songs, They suit your voice well," Demi Lovato told me.

The room started spinning. Demi was one of my biggest inspirations and partly the reason I'm standing here today. I mustered up the strength to say a tiny thank you, and then looked down at the ground again. I was so nervous. A part of me wondered why I was even here, I was so self-conscious and having all these people watching me made me kind of anxious.

The judges finished talking, and told us to go sit down again. I turned around really fast and almost lost my balance. I quickly scanned around, hoping no one noticed. Then, I noticed a face. Bright green eyes pierced into me. I was caught in some sort of trance. I made myself snap out of it, and I looked down at the stage floor. I hope I didn't make her feel uncomfortable. I made my way back the spot I was sitting at earlier and felt butterflies kicking around in my stomach. That was weird. I only got butterflies before a performance, not after. What's wrong with me?
