Forever and Paulways (A One Direction Fan-fiction)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 

Hope’s POV

“One Direction!” the X Factor voice over man called and instantly the crowd stood in applause. I stood also and screamed, shouted and chanted the boys names as they walked through the doors onto the stage, microphones in hands. Harry noticed me standing in the second row from the front and waved at me and flashed his adorable dimples, his eyes shining. I felt my cheeks heating up and turned around. Why was I thinking of Harry like this? He’s my best friend’s best friend. I couldn’t think like this. But Harry was adorable…

I shook my head. I couldn’t think like this. When I thought my cheeks had finally faded back to its natural colour I turned back around to see the boys standing in a straight line looking directly into the camera and the music of She’s The One began to play. The boys took a deep breath and Liam brought his microphone to his mouth and sung-

I was her she was me

We were one we were free

And if there's somebody calling me on

She's the one…

Than Harry sang slightly looking at me-

We were young we were wrong

We were fine all along

If there's somebody calling me on

She's the one…

Up until the time the song finished I couldn’t take my eyes of Harry. It was like he had cast a spell on me and I was totally fix traded on him even when one of the best singers of all time Robbie Williams came on stage and sung with the boys.  What if something happened between us? I thought to myself. No Hope, no. I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t hurt Louis like that especially if something happened between us that had him torn between picking Harry or me.

I stopped my factices over Harry and screamed and applauded again. I smiled from ear to ear at the boys. I was so happy for them. They had worked their buts off from the day 1 and look where they were now. The grand final on the X-Factor.  They were going to be huge stars and I was going to be 100 percent behind them no matter what. 

Louis POV

The audience screamed and shouted at us. I searched the room looking for Hope. I saw a few of my family members sitting in the back smiling waving with tears streaming down their faces. I saw a few fans that’s had posters with carrots on them. I laughed and waved at them. I then found her sitting in the second row smiling at Harry than she quickly turned her attention to all of us. I waved at her too. She waved back and jumped up and down screaming and shouting. There was something going on between her and Harry. The way she was beaming at him during the whole entire performance. She couldn’t take her eyes off of him. I felt a ping of jealousy towards Harry, firstly because Hope was here for me even though she supported the band and all, she wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me.  And secondly, I fancied her a little and I badly wanted her to feel the same for me. At one stage I thought she did, like the other night when she blushed when I kissed but now with Harry and all acting strangely around each other I had no clue of what she thought of me anymore.

As soon as we left the stage, I went straight to our dressing room and turned on the T.V so I could see the rest of the performances and the dance Hope choreographed. Her dancers walked on stage and stood in their positions.

The lads clearly were having adrenaline rushed and were running around the dressing room like headless chickens.

“Shut up guys! Hope’s dancers are on, so hush!”

They all stopped talking and turned to look at the screen. They showed an audience shot and I saw Hope sitting nervously in her chair. The music played and the camera returned to the stage. It was a hip-hop dance with Cher Lloyd and WILL.I.AM. The performance was amazing the dancers complemented the music and the lyrics perfectly and as per usual Hope did a great job at choreographing a fun performance. Cher finished and the audience applauded. The camera showed a close up of Hope screaming and shouting and jumping around like crazy. She was defiantly happy with their performance.

1 HOUR LATER

We stood on stage awaiting to hear who had made it to the top 2. The lads and I stood together with Simon with our hands wrapped around each other’s backs.

It was down to Rebecca Ferguson and us.

“And through to the top 2 is…”

The seconds that passed were the longest of my life. I saw flashbacks of me auditioning, singing Hey There Delilah, then running off the stage to my mum and Hope and squeezing them into a tight group hug.

I saw flashes of when I was told to go home but then put into One Direction, singing Torn at Judge’s Houses and all the weeks leading up to here, right now.

“Rebecca Ferguson!”
