Auditioning for Love - A George Shelley FF

Chapter 1 - X Factor

(A/N) I don't know how succesfull Union J will be in the X Factor competition but I want to write this FF now so I'm not waiting for them to perform the next time. SO I'm sorry if I write anything that didn't really happen on the X Factor. Yet, I'm even unsure if I'll put George in Union J. I DON'T HATE THEM, I find it just difficult because I don't know that much about them. AND I'm not going to write JORGE I'll be writing GEORGE. Just wanted to let you know :)

I was behind the stage of the X Factor as a make up artist. But I was actually more like someone who wishes luck and the one who cheers up the acts that didn't get through. 

I didn't know who was auditioning but it was a boy. He was singing 'Toxic' by Britney Spears, and DAMN, he was probably the best singer I've heard until then. I heard the positive feedback he got and how the audience was yelling as he was told to be through. I smiled and patiently waited for the boy to come off the stage. I wanted to know who it was.

I stood next to some people who were probably the boy's friends and family. Then he walked towards us. He smiled an unbelievable beautiful and happy smile. And hugged first his family and then his friends. I wanted to say some congratulations as he suddenly pulled me in for a hug. I didn't know him but I felt safe in his tight hug. "Congrats!" I whispered in his ear and he thanked me. 

"TAYLOR!" I heard my friend yelling for me. I turned around to see her waving me over to her. I turned back to the boy and said "You did well! See you in Bootcamp!" Then I ran to my friend without hearing what the boy said. 

"What's up Aly?" My best friend Alyssa aka Aly and I had the same job. Make up artists at the X Factor. Aly was a gorgeous girl. 18 years old, like me, with long blonde hair.

"Don't flirt with the contestants! You know the rules." I giggled and blushed "I wasn't flirting with him, I didn't even know his name."

"Do you want to know his name?" Aly asked me and waited for my reaction. She knew me too well. Of course I wanted to know his name. I nodded excitedly and she said "His name is George Shelley,"

George Shelley. What a nice name. Aly pushed me a bit and said "Stop dreaming about him!" I shook my head and giggled. Then Aly was told to care about the contestants here and I was told to go to the entry and to guide the 'lost' contestants which wasn't even my job. I agreed anyways and made my way to the entry. 

On my way I crushed into a boy. He turned around and I saw it was George. "There you are again." I smiled at him and he smiled back. God, his smiled was so .. I can't even describe it. And his dimples. I could have stared at him all day. "Yeah, uhm Taylor, right?" he must have heard my name when Aly was yelling for me. 

I nodded and he said "George." We smiled at each other and there was an awkward silence. "Uhm, sorry for hugging you, I was just so happy." he said.

I lied and said "Never mind, that happens really often." That actually never really happened. 

"Ah okay. So uhm yeah. I'm gonna celebrate now. See you in Bootcamp." George said and he sounded like he had to ad something. But I just smiled and said "Have fun. See you." George walked away but after a few steps he turned around again. He was walking towards me and played with his fingers. He seemed to be nervous for some reason.

"Taylor?"

"Yeah?"

"Uhm, actually I wanted to ask you to celebrate with me." he smiled and I saw in his eyes that he was hoping I would say yes. 

"Uhhh, I have to work, but-" I came a bit closer to him and whispered "I'm done in half an hour anyways so I can just skip those 30 minutes."

George smiled and gave me the adress to the club he would be celebrating at. We said good bye and I grabbed my phone. "Gonna go now. Don't tell anyone. I'll call you 2morrow. Tay xx" I sent it to Aly and drove home.

As soon as I was home I went in the bathroom to take a shower. I started singing but I realized I wasn't as good as George. When I was ready I dried my long brown hair. I grabbed a pair of jeans and my favorite shirt. I looked at the adress George gave me and drove there.

When I arrived I saw a lot of people. I walked around a bit and finally I saw George. The music was pretty loud. "Hi!" I yelled but George waved me outside. We went out of the club and said hello.

"I didn't expect this." George smiled.

"What?"

"That you are actually here. I thought you would think I'm a freak to invite you because we don't know each other."

I giggled and said "No, I'm glad I finally have a reason to go out."

"Okay. So tell me a bit about you."

"Uhm, don't you want to go in and celebrate with your friends?"

"No, I want to get to know you." George said and smiled. We both sat down on a bench outside the club and I began. "Okay, I'm Taylor, I'm 18 years old and I work as a make up artist for a lot of TV shows or some celebs. Now it's your turn." I smiled.

"I'm George, I'm 18 years old but I'm turning 19 soon, I work in a coffee shop and I just got through my X Factor audition."
