Simon's Point of View: On the red carpet.
"Where is she Alesha? She has been getting later and later." I say worried that Amanda hasn't turned up to the auditions. Amanda has been very quiet recently, maybe it's because of the day today, but something has definitely been off with her. "Look Simon, she's arrived and Lexi and Hollie are hear too!" I turn around and she looks gorgeous, no flashy dress or makeup. Just a casual look with the minimum makeup and her hair is fabulous. "Your cutting it short Ms Holden." I say giving her a cheeky grin. "Sorry uncle Si, our fault we wanted to come today." Lexi says to me.

Amanda's point of view:
Thank god for that Lexi has just saved me from lying to the man I love. Lexi isn't stupid, she knows I don't want to be Chris and what he does to me, she understands I can't leave him too. "Yer, sorry Si, Chris left for work early so I had to get the girls ready as well." I say trying to make it sound real. "That's alright, we are glad the girls came. Come on let's get some pictures so we can relax and have a chat." Simon says  aiming the talk bit at me.

We took the pictures on the red carpet and went to head in. "Mummy please may we have a picture with Simon?" Lexi says looking at me then to Simon. "PLEASE!" Hollie says jumping up and down. "Come on Mandy, it can't be that bad, you have pictures with me all the time." Simon says pulling me in front of the cameras. We pose for the pictures with Simon holding me round my waist, letting his hand hold me, while I put my hand on his shoulder and Lexi and Hollie pose in front. "Perfect. Can we print it off when we get home mummy??" Hollie says. My face drops knowing that if Chris catches me I will get beaten. "Come on Hollie, shall we go find Alesha and David?" Lexi says obviously seeing my face. "Yes please." Lexi takes Hollies hand and goes into the stadium, Simon and I follow.

Simon's point of view:
Amanda and I are walking past the dressing room heading to the judges lounge. We go to walk past mine but I quickly grab Amanda's arm and pull her into my dressing room. "Ouch, Si that really hurt!" Amanda says holding wear I grabbed her. "Sorry Mandy, I didn't think it was that hard." I say going to rub her arm, but she pulls back. "It's fine, what are you doing anyway?" Amanda asks acting like she doesn't know, when it's written all over her face. "Mandy come on you know what day it is, same with last week but you refuse to talk about it, you need to talk to me, we went through it together." I say. I see Mandy's eyes get watery. "Hey, hey come hear, don't cry your to pretty go cry, I just wanted to make sure your okay and that you know that I'm hear okay?" I say as I pull her into a hug. "Thank you Si, she is seventeen. The twins are ten know." Mandy says as she pulls away from me. "Come let's get today started." I say and take Amanda's hand and walk to the lounge wear, Alesha and David are playing with Lexi and Hollie. "Mummy look." Hollie says pointing at Alesha's phone. "Awh it's a very good picture. I will see what I can do for you both." Amanda says. I know she will forget to do it so I go over to a crew member. "Could you print four copes of that photo and get frames, hears the money!" I say giving him the £100. "I will Sir." I make my way back over. "Right judges and Ant and Dec, hear is to the last lot of auditions. Amanda you have your golden buzz left don't forget, so let's make it a good day people." I say raising a glass of champagne. "Cheers." Everyone says. "TEN MINUTES JUDGES!" The producer shouts making us jump. "Right girls come on, lets go to my dressing room." Amanda says taking the girls hands. "Why can't they watch the show?" I say standing in front of Amanda. "Because I said so that's why!" Amanda says. "Well I say we will find them a seat with us, does that sound good girls?" They girls jump in excitement and take my hand and we walk down the hall leaving Amanda behind.

Amanda's point of view:
"You have a cheek Cowell!" I shout down the hallway as he disappears with the girls. I head to my dressing room and touch up my makeup on my arms so the bruises and cuts are definitely not visible. "Right Mandy, let's do this." I say and I walk down to the doors were we enter. Simon, David and Alesha are waiting. "SIMON, wear are the girls?" I say annoyed he has done this without my permission. "Sat in their seats like I promised." Before I could say anything back Alesha and David got called followed by me and Simon. "See there's nothing you can do know." Simon says following me down the isle brushing his hand against my back getting very close to my arse. We take our seats and I can see Lexi and Hollie are say right behind me and Simon so I know we're they are. "Right London, last of the auditions, let's hope there is good ones.

Evie's point of View: Behind stage.
I'm first on, I'm getting nervous. "You will be fine Evie." Lala says. "You will be great." Lola says. Ant and Dec were talking to contestants. "Evie, we don't want to be by ourselves when your on stage." Lala says worried something will happen. I hug Lala and Lola into my while Thomas is sat on the floor playing. "Evie." Ant and Dec walk up to me. "Hiya!" I say, I'm very nervous know. "So who are these three?" Dec says crouching down to Thomas while Ant hugged Lala and Lola. "Well these two are my younger sisters Lala and Lola, and this little chap is Thomas." I say pointing pointing to Thomas. "Well the judges are ready to see you know!" We follow Ant and Dec to the stage. Lala and Lola are holding on to my arm while Thomas won't stop hugging me. "Guys you need to let go, stay with Ant and Dec I will only be five minutes." I say trying to move having no luck. "Um Evie, we have an idea come on follow us." We follow Ant and Dec on to the stage. We stand on the X. "If it's okay with the judges, how would you feel about sitting with them to watch Evie." Dec said crouching to the girls height while Ant pointed to the judges to Thomas. "Yes please." Lala said holding Lola's hand. I watch Amanda immediately get up and walk onto the stage. She crouched to Lala and Lola. "What are your names?" Amanda said. "I'm Lala and this is Lola, we are twins and Evie's sister, we turned ten last week." Lala said. They both very big fans of Amanda and Simon. "Sorry, they are extremely big fans of yours." Amanda smiled up to me. "That's okay they are adorable, who's this little man?" Amanda said looking at Thomas. "This is Thomas, he is three." Amanda comes up to me and Thomas immediately tried to hug her so Amanda takes him. "Come on then you three let's go and watch Evie." Amanda says taking them to her seat. Lala and Thomas sit with Amanda while Lola sits with Simon. "Tell is a little bit about yourself, Evie!" Amanda says. "Well I got put up for adoption when I was born and then ten years later Lala and Lola joined me joined me as they are my sisters. Since then it's just been us four." Before Amanda could say anything Lala says. "It's also Evie's seventh birthday today, we brought her the necklace she is wearing." I go red in the face with people shouting happy birthday at me. For some reason Simon and Amanda were looking at each other with questioning faces. "So is Thomas your brother?" David asked. Lala and Lola go very quiet as do I. "Um no he isn't, uh I got raped and because of that Thomas came along. Um yes Thomas is my son." Everyone was gasping and Lala and Lola started crying but Amanda and Simon calmed them. "But, he's only three, you got raped at fourteen." Amanda said looking straight into my eyes. I nodded unable to speak. "Well you show those scum bags what you have got." Amanda said with encouragement. I started singing fight song and throughout the song people started to cry. When I finished everyone stood up and clapped. All the judges stood up I watched Amanda put Thomas on the desk near the golden buzzer and Lala and Lols stood next to her. "One two three." Amanda said and they all pushed the golden buzzer. I burst into tears as the gold confetti comes around me. Amanda passed Thomas to Simon, and she came on stage with Lala and Lola to hug me. "That was fabulous Evie, you just showed everyone you can do anything if you fight for it." Amanda said hugging me. "You wear amazing Evie, absolutely amazing." Simon said also giving me a hug. Before Amanda and Simon got off stage Alesha said. "Wait, Lexi and Hollie go on stage with mummy and Simon I will get a picture of you all." Amanda and Simon stood next to me while Lala and Lola stood in front with Lexi and Hollie on the floor with Thomas. Amanda held my hand while taking the pictures. Alesha took the pictures on mine and her phone. Amanda went to leave but stopped as something was attached. Our bracelets were connected. We looked at each with shocked faces, Simon looked at Amanda the at me then back again. Amanda and I stared at the bracelets. "Wait Evie, you always told us that when your bracelet connected with another that would be our mummy, is Amanda our mummy?" Lala says confused. This can't be happening can it??
