Your on in three two one, good luck" said Dermot and I thanked him. I feel my heat beating really fast and my chest starting to tighten, I took a deep breath and slowly made my way onto the stage and stood on the x. "

Hiya, pet what ya name" said a familiar Geordie accent, I looked up and noticed its Cheryl Cole I guess she realized that I was nervous and she gave my a reassuring smile, dimples on full display. I smiled back at her "Hi im Sierra" then she asked "what does ya family think about this, are they here with you?" I didn't know what to say I felt my face turn deep shade of red, I cleared my throat "my family couldnt make it today, but I brought my friend kayla" I guess she noticed I was really uncomfortable answering that so she didnt ask anymore about that subject, thank god. She gave me a half smile "so what are you gonna do for us today?" "I'm gonna sing sticks and stones by nicola roberts" her eyes lit up "Oh great I love that song, whenever your ready"

Cheryl's pov

I have a strong instinct on this girl I whisper to Simon, he just nodded. But I cant stop thinking about why her family wasnt there to support her something isn't right. Next thing I knew the song was playing and she started to sing.

Sierras pov

The music started to play and I took a deep breathe, theres no turning back now....

Couldn't you tell lies to me?
Couldn't you say I'm pretty?
Now that's enough
Tells me that she hates the play ground
How can they hurt, words are just sounds
So take your shot.

I don't want to see that they're making it hard for me
At home I cry
Bet that you think that you're on your own
And you've no one's hand to hold
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same?
Don't surrender don't you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little

With all the mean words they're ugly
Starting to see I'm lucky
And that's enough
I'd rather be alone in my world
I'd rather be the girl that gets hurt
So take your shot

I don't want to see that they're making it hard for me
At home I cry
Bet that you think that you're on your own
And you've no one's hand to hold
Sticks and stones

Hurt just a little
Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same
Don't surrender don't you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little

Too young to buy my own bottle of vodka
So I'd beg the driver please I need another
How funny that I was too young for so many things
Yet you thought I'd cope with being told I'm ugly
Over and over I'd read it believe it
Said no to the shrink I can fix me I think
I got friends in my head they've got me on the mend
I am pretty in my mirror, easy to pretend
17 and thought that I'd won the jackpot
Seems I didn't read between the lines of this one
I can't think why I could of made you so, so angry
Your bullets I don't feel them come on and fire at me

Bet that you think that you're on your own
And you've no one's hand to hold
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same
Don't surrender don't you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Hurt just a little
