The world finds out why Niall joined X-Factor

_____________________________________________________________________________

“So Niall, I was asked a question about you the other day, and me being the super fan that I am, I thought I would be answer it like eating a piece of cake. Easy right? But when asked the question, I realized that I had no clue what the answer was, so I searched around online and see if one of your mega fans might know. Turns out that no one knows the answer to this supposedly simple question. So, what I, and millions of others, would like to know is how exactly did you get into to singing? Like who convinced you were good enough to go on X-Factor? Or what motivated you to try out?” The interviewer asked.  I forgot what her name is though, oops.

I think she is trying to flirt with me. I think Liam feels the same because his arm just tightened around my waist. I chuckled quietly to myself and leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before speaking.

“Um… I didn’t know people were actually that curious about why I really joined for X-Factor. I just always thought that no one really cared about my story. It’s amazing to know that people actually want know this because I always thought it was a great story. I’m rambling now, um… I guess I’ll start when I was sixteen and I was in a desperate need for some extra cash…”

[Flashback]

I bit my lip as I searched for the best place to get to work. A huge grin broke out on my face when I saw this busy corner about a hundred yards from where I was standing. I set my bag against the building and pulled out my guitar. I set my snapback on the ground in front of me, not caring what my hair look liked.

I bit my lip as I thought about what song I should sing, when a huge grin broke out on my face. I started strumming the first few chords out before singing.

“I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We dance with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh”

I got the crowd laughing when I did my signature jump while singing the part about jumping. I managed to get a pretty decent crowd going and clapping along to my singing. There was a certain brown eyed boy that caught my eye and I sent him a smile before continuing to sing.

“I’m never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don’t wake me now
Oo-o-o-o-oo
This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife
My li-i-i-i-i-ife”

I was getting quite a bit of money, my snapback was nearly halfway full. It was mostly change, but it’s still something. I turned my gaze to the beautiful brown eyed boy again. I’m so glad that he hasn’t left yet. I sent him a wink and his face broke out into this huge grin.

“I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh”
