One Direction...All Dads? Series

Chapter 12.

                                                  *****Juliet's POV:*****

Maura, Bobby, Greg and I all waited anxiously behind the screen, behind the curtains, in front of the TV. We were backstage at X-Factor, and i couldn't believe it. We were finally at X-Factor, waiting for Niall Horan...MY BOYFRIEND, to perform and hopefully woo the judges.

Suddenly, it was his cue.

"Come on boy." One of the two guys said.

"It's your turn. Don't be too nervous."

"Good luck honey." Maura and Bobby said.

"I know you'll do awesome!" Greg said, and lifted his hand for a high five. Niall shakily high-fived him.

"Good luck, Niall. I know you'll do great." I said, and i kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay! I'm going." Niall said, and waved to us, hobbling off onto the stage.

My heart pounded nervously.

He stood in front of the judges, and the huge flat screen behind him started to play his interviews.

"I'm Niall Horan, 16 from Mullingar, Ireland. I want to have big names like Beyonce, or Justin Bieber. I even get compared to them sometimes. I want to make an album, and work with big stars. It's game on." He smiled. And Baby by Justin Bieber started playing in the back.

The TV screen stopped showing his little interview, and reality sunk in. The four judges, Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, and Katy Perry wers sitting seriously in their chairs.

Wait what?

KATY PERRY?! Katy Perry was on stage! Oh my gosh! Katy Perry! She must have been guest judging or something.

Every girl in the audience cheered for him. And he offered a lopsided, cute smile.

My mind went blank for the first couple of seconds, and i caught him:

"So you're like an Irish Justin Bieber?" Louis grinned.

"I reckon so." Niall said, shrugging. I bit back a laugh.

"Will this make you really popular at school?" Katy shifted, asking him.

I gaped, and covered my mouth with my hands.

"I have been popular lately." Niall said

"Unbelievable." Maura said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Our little Niall's grown up." Bobby smiled, swallowing Maura in a hug.

"Not really. He's been drinking beer since he was 9." Greg laughed.

The crowd laughed at Niall, and Katy Perry turned back, as in a "ooh."

Then Louis commanded him to start, and the crowd cheered again.

"Doo doo doo doo doo...oh yeah." Niall started off slowly, and i looked at Maura, who was swaying at the music, and dabbing her eyes with a napkin.

"Gotta change my answering machine...and now that I'm alone..."

"Cause right now it says that we...can't come to the phone..."

"And i know it makes no sense...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You were great!" I said, enveloping him in a hug.

"Thanks babe." He said, and hugged his family.

"I still can't believe it." Maura laughed.

"True miracle." Bobby nodded

And we headed off home, Niall still talking, very jittery, and very excited.

Hey cupcakes!

Sorry this chapter was so short, but i couldn't add the next part here, because it wouldn't make any sense, because it jumps way into the future time, so i decided to save it for the next chapter.

Also i may not be able to upload for like 3-4 days, because i'm moving, (FOR THE SECOND TIME) and its sort of hard, because everything is literally packed.

When i'm settled, i promise the first thing will be me uploading!

Thanks guys! Love you all!

Mwah!
