AUTHOURS NOTE;

Sorry for the late update, I have been having trouble with what to write. I know what I want to happen later on in the story, but at the moment, I'm just filling in the gaps.

You can comment what you think / want to hapen and I might need to use some of your ideas. Thanks again for reading and voting! Enjoy!

NIALL'S P.O.V

"Don't let us down!!" Katy shouted after me. I'll try not to, I thought as I ran off the stage, rushing to embrace my family. I could already see mum crying into Mabel's shoulder as they all stood in what looked like a group hug around grandma.

Wow, its over. The day I've been waiting for so long, its over. My mind floated to all the possibilities of what I could achieve from getting those three yeses I needed.

Best solo artist in the world, selling out arenas, even stadiums, maybe even becoming part of the next big boy band, touring the world, performing to thousands of people in a different country every night. But there is also the possibility of going no where, for all I know, I could get sent home after the next round.

"Awwww my baby," mum said as she prized me into her arms, pulling my mind away from it's previous thoughts "I'm so proud of you" she cried into my neck. I clung onto her, thinking about all the things she'd done for me in the last sixteen years. I guess I really owed her, and now, the chance to give everything back to her, was within my reach. As long as I just made it through, I could give her back everything she deserves.

As soon as I let go of my mother, my father reached out and shook my hand, "well done buddy," he said as he pulled me into his body and held me tight. I've lived with dad since I was little, since my parents divorced. He has gone through so much for me and not once have I had the time to fully appreciate him, all he's done.

"I love you dad" I whispered into his jumper, trying to hold back the tears forming behind my eyes. "I know I haven't been the best son, but I just want to thank you for all that you've done for me" my voice cracked as I spoke.

"You know what Niall," he started to say, emotion evident in his voice "I couldn't have asked for a better son, even if I wanted to" a small tear rolled down his cheek.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" a loud shriek rung throughout the house, instantly, Mabel and I got of my bed, put the laptop that we were watching The Notebook on, onto the side and bounded out of the bedroom, wanting to know what the cause of the piercing scream was.

As we ran to where the sound was coming from, my mother spoke, "HE'S ON THE TV! Our Niall's on the tv!!" She shouted. By the time she'd finished yelling, dad, Greg and grandma had all assembled into the living room, wondering why mum was shouting so loud.

"Oh god" I cringed as I saw myself strut onto the stage. As I expected, it only got worse, I covered my eyes not wanting to see anymore whilst my family re-watched the events of today.

"Why are you hiding? You did amazing, you should be so proud of yourself. I am" Mabel said as she gently pulled my hands away from my face, softly intwining our fingers.

For a moment, it felt as if time had just stopped. As if it was just the two of us, standing in this small house, staring at each other, eyes interlocked.

All of a sudden, I felt a spark ignite in my body as our lips collided. I felt like all my worries and pains had just faded away in a matter of minutes as our bodies moved in time with the kiss, every few seconds, releasing grip on each other for a breath of air.

Unfortunately the short moment of bliss didn't last long, once the dreadful audition had finished, we all drifted back to normality, doing what we were doing before my mother disturbed us.
