Audrey's POV

Day 3

Today was the day that really counted in boot camp. It was the lasting memory basically. You could choose any song, and perform it in front of the judges. I chose "love the way you lie" by Rihanna and Eminem. I cut it short, and I would be doing some rap. This could work out well, or really bad. Truth be told, I don't look like a rapping kind of girl, but I can't let 7 years of break dancing go to waste can I?

Soon it was my turn to go on stage. I was both nervous and confident at the same time.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

That's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

That's alright because I love the way you lie

Love the way you lie...

I walked off the stage completely calm. I think I did pretty good but I'm not sure. That could have gone really bad. Either way, by the end of today, the girls will be cut by half.

Cher's POV

This was gonna be a really tough decision. There was so much talent shown on the stage. There was only one act that I was completely sure of, and that was Audrey. She was so much like me, it was scary. I can't wait for Cheryl to meet her. Cheryl will be my guest judge at judges house. I think we were all betting on Audrey. The only competition she had was probably the band; 2morrow. They were a promising boy band. They were no competition to one direction though.

The judges and I met at the table. We went through the pictures one by one. There were going to be so many broken hearts today. It was heartbreaking just for me to think about it. It was hard I cut people because I remember what it was like for me wondering what the judges would think of me. We called the contestants out.

Girls.

I looked at the remaining contestants. They all looked terrified. I looked at Audrey and I saw so much emotion in her eyes. Fear, excitement, hope, but most of all, ambition. She wanted it so bad.

The last spot we have for judges house is...

10. Audrey Grey

Tears started pouring out of the other contestant's eyes. They were all heartbroken. Audrey was in shock. I realized that we were being pretty cruel to Audrey. Last time, her name was said last as well.
