One Direction's Daughter

Chapter 19

~Arabelle's POV~

When the song finished, the whole crowd stood up and cheered. I smiled at the crowd, and then at the girls. I looked at Savannah and saw she was trying her hardest to smile as big as the rest of us, but there were tears falling down her cheeks. It wasn't a surprise, though. She had told us all about Nathan and how their relationship ended. This was probably a song she wrote about him, and it was such a touching song.

I stepped over to her and stood her up before pulling her into a hug. She hugged me back, no questions asked, and I felt her shake in my arms. She wasn't crying loud; instead, she was silently crying. That was probably what was making her shake so hard in my arms.

The rest of the girls walked over and we gave her a group hug. I rubbed her back before we all pulled away and looked over at the judges. The crowd calmed down before they spoke.

"I am speechless," Cheryl said. "Who wrote that?" We all pointed to Savannah, who she was still hugging me, leaning on me. "Savannah, I have to say you're song writing skills are incredible. And the way you girls sang it? Wow!"

"I have to agree," Louis said. "I have got to say, you girls as a group sound absolutely amazing. You girls are naturals, and your voices just blend together perfectly." We smiled as the crowd cheered in response, Savannah trying her hardest to smile like us, and we looked at Simon.

"Out of all the shows I've been on, from this, to the U.S version, to Idol, all of them, I have got to say you girls are the best I've ever heard," he said. "I know I shouldn't, but I am rooting for you girls." We looked at each other with smiles stretched across our faces. Savannah's was bigger than before, and a little less forced, but she kept glancing at the audience, as if she was looking for someone, or at someone. I looked the way she did, and I saw the one and only Nathan Sykes. My eyes went wide, and I wrapped my arms protectively around her.

"Alright, if I could get Justine Barton to come on, and the mentors go to their respective acts," the host said. Simon walked over to us, while Cheryl walked over to Justine. Simon stood in the middle of us, beside Savannah and me, and he had his hands on our backs. We huddled together and looked over at the host.

"Pull up the Twitter poll," he said. A giant screen came down, and Twitter came up on the poll. It showed the poll, and the numbers kept fluctuating. Suddenly, they stopped, and we looked at the votes. We had the most votes, 51% of the votes to 49% of the votes. "The viewers have spoken. The winner is, Reality Check!" I screamed with the other girls, and Savannah's eyes went wide. She looked at me, as if she thought this was a dream, and I nodded. She hugged me, and then we group hugged.

From the side of the stage there was a bit of commotion. We looked over in confusion, and then One Direction ran out and over to Savannah, Niall throwing her on his shoulders. I started taking deeper breaths. Can you blame me? These lads are damn hot! And they're only a year or two older than me.

Niall started spinning Savannah around, and she laughed really loud. I smiled at them.

"Niall's always like that with her," a voice said, and I turned to see Harry. "Hello, I'm Harry."

"Arabelle," I said, holding out my hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, as well," he said, shaking my hand. "I've heard some nice things about you from Savannah." I blushed. He looked like he was about to say something when Savannah was basically thrown at him by one of the other boys.

"Sorry Harry!" she exclaimed, and he chuckled.

"That's alright," he said. He smiled at me again, and we walked over to the rest of the group.
