Another World A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 1

Louis’ P.O.V.

*2010*

I already knew what I was in for this time around as I had tried out for the X-Factor in 2009. I hadn’t made it all the way but I knew if I strived to succeed I would.

I thought I was giving up my whole life when I decided this is what I wanted to do.

I had recently signed up to audition for X-factor UK series 7.

It was now the day when I had to perform in front of the judges.

I was shaking so much that it was so hard to hold the microphone.

“Up next we have Louis Tomlinson performing in the boys under 28 category” Dermot O’Leary the presenter announced.

I walked out on to the stage trying not to be so nervous.

“What song are you going to sing for us today Louis?” Simon asked.

“I will be singing hey there Delilah” I replied.

“Alright good luck” Simon said.

“Hey there Delilah what’s it like in New York City? I’m a thousand miles away but girl, you look so pretty yes you do. Times Square can’t shine as bright as you I swear it’s true. Hey there Delilah don’t you worry about the distance I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen, close your eyes, listen to my voice, it’s my disguise, I’m by your side.” I sang.

 “Wow Louis you have a brilliant voice on you.”  Dannii Minogue said.

“Louis I think for an 18 year old you have a good voice.” Cheryl Cole said.

I was so pleased with the complements that I had received. “Thank you.” I said shyly.

“Now to cast our votes” Louis Walsh said. “Yes from me” Louis began. “Yes” “yes” “yes” Simon, Cheryl and Dannii replied after.

“Congratulations Louis we will see you at boot camps with the other contestants” Louis began.

I walked off the stage so ecstatic.

It was now boot camp time and in my category there are 4 other boys around the same age that look good.

I walked up to one of the boys and asked for a photo.

From the first time I saw him I knew he was going to be a superstar.

We had all performed our solo performances at boot camp and all the positions were filled for the under 28 boys category.

I was shattered but then they called all 5 of our names and we stepped forward.

Boys you're to talented to let go we have decided that we dont want to let you go and put you into a band.

 “If we get out together as a band then we could possible go further than what we could have as solo’s” oneof the boys pointed out.

“Okay I’m up for it” I replied.

“Alright all settled, you’re in a band.” Cheryl said.

The judges walked off, leaving the 5 of us standing in a wide open space without a word to say.

After about 2 minutes of silence I decided to break it “Hi, I’m Louis Tomlinson, what are your names?”

“Harry Styles” replied the boy with curly hair and blue eyes.

“Zayn Malik” replied another.

“Niall Horan” another said cheerfully.

Niall’s voice didn’t sound British.

“Are you Irish?” I asked Niall.

“Indeed I am Louis” Niall replied.

“Liam Payne” said the last boy.

We had to make a name for our band and we had no idea. 

I had left to go home for the day when i had recieved a text from harry 'One Direction. that can be our name.' Harry sent. 

I sent harry a mssage back imediately saying that it was a briliant name. 

We spent the night at our own house then arrived back to the X-Factor studios.

Simon had only just walked into the room. “I see you’ve made up your band name?” Simon said. 

“Yes we have Simon” Harry replied.

“Excuse me while I go tell the producers your band name as they need to know”.

“Hello, my name is Bree and I will be your singing coach for this whole journey. Nice to meet you” Bree said excitedly walking into the room.

Boy was she B-E-A-UTIFUL. I was swept off my feet at the point she walked in.

“H...iii I’m Louis” I said stuttering.

“Nice to meet you Louis and who are these 4 gorgeous boys I have standing next to you?” Bree asked.

Gorgeous? I wanted Bree to be my girl not theirs.

“Um….. That’s harry” I said pointing to harry.

“Liam, Zayn, and Niall” “nice to meet you boys.” She said again.

I couldn’t stop staring at her.

“Alright boys” she started. “I would like you all to contribute with picking the songs for all the live performances each week. Our first week is approaching fast and what song would you like to sing?” Bree continued.

I turned to the boys and threw some song suggestions at them.

“Hey Bree, we decided that we are going to sing torn by Natalie Imbruglia” Liam said.

“Brilliant song let’s get on with it then”. Bree stated.

“One Direction it is your turn to sing for me what song are you singing for me today?” Simon asked. 

“We are singing torn by Natalie Imbruglia” we all said at once.

“I hope Bree has taught you some good singing skills over the past few days” Simon added.

“Yes she has she is a brilliant singing coach for us, thank you Simon. “ I said joyfully.

Bree was in the room cheering us on.

I turned around to see her wide smile. 

Bree gave me a look that indicated she was very pleased that I said that.

“Alright boys good luck” Bree said.

We began to sing torn.

 “Boys that was fantastic I can’t wait for your next performance” Bree said.

“Let’s get back to the house” Zayn said.

We started walking to the house when I noticed that Bree was following behind us.

I slowed down for her to catch up to me. “Uh…. Hi Bree, I was just wondering…..” I could hardly say.

“Go on say it Lou get it out” Bree encouraged.

“Uh… I was just wondering if you would like to go on a date with me on the weekend.” I asked.

“Lou” she began. I was so nervous about her reply. “I would love to go on a date with you on the weekend.”

I could hardly contain myself I hugged Bree so tight that she couldn’t even get her hands out from underneath mine.

“Lou I can’t breathe” Bree said.

“Oh sorry, Babe” I said with a wink.

“Aww Lou I don’t think it’s quite the right time to be calling me that yet.” She said.

It let me down a little bit but she had a reason to say it.

“Nah that’s okay” I replied.

“Okay Lou text me when you have sorted out what we are going to do.”
