What Shouldn't Have Been.(X Factor FanFic) Book1

Jack's Point Of View.

Jake had left the competition and I felt really sorry for him. I knew how much this meant to him. But I was sure that he was going to go far in life. There was no doubt in that. Me and all of his friends at the X Factor house supported him.

''Bummer Jake left'' Ben walked into my room and fell onto the sofa. 

''I know'' I replied staring down at my phone, reading tweets from people. I loved how supportive everyone was. But deep down I was really hoping that Fiona had tweeted me, but it had been two day now and I hadn't heard from her. 

''Hey, do you remember those two girls who were here on Saturday night?'' Ben asked. How coincidental?

''There were a couple of girls'' I said still staring down at my phone. Why hadn't she contacted me? Had I really scared her off? 

''Danielle and that other one'' Ben said. Her name was Fiona, I almost blurted.

''Yeah, Jake was talking about her'' 

''Yeah...'' Ben trailed off. I glanced up at him.

''What?'' I asked.

''Nevermind, I'm going out, see you later, time to start rehearsing for next weeks show!'' Ben jumped up and walked out of the room. Strange. 

Should I send her a message? Would that seem like I was being too pushy? Oh who cares, it wasn't going to hurt anyone if I did message her. I wasn't proposing or anything, I just wanted to see how she was doing and talk to her. Even if it meant just my messaging.

''Hey, how are you?''

I pressed send and stared at my message. How blunt did I sound?  Moments later she replied, that was fast, it usually took her a while to reply. Unless she was waiting for me to message her. I smiled to myself.

'Hey, I'm good :)''

''I'm good too, thanks for asking ''

''I'm sorry, how are you Jack?'' 

''I'm good now''

Was that too cheesy? Probably was but what are you going to do.

We spent like two hours talking. It was great, I didn't even realize I was smiling all the time until my facial muscles began to ache. I couldn't believe that I was falling for someone so easily. The last time I felt this way...Wait, actually I've never actually felt this way before. I mean I've had girlfriends that I thought I loved or whatever, but now I felt that Fiona and I had something different. I mean we didn't exactly have anything yet, I just liked her a lot. Deep down I hoped she felt something for me too. She wasn't ignoring me or hating on me so I took that as a good sign. 

We decided to meet up Friday evening, I wanted to see her face to face again. Maybe even invite her to the next show. If I can afford it again. I mean the two VIP tickets that I gave her last time were a present. I was meant to invite my friends but the moment that I saw her, I couldn't stop myself from giving them to her. What a good idea that turned out to be. No sarcasm intended.

After a while someone - I couldn't even remember who - walked into the room and told me that Mel was waiting for me. Time for today's rehearsal. I said bye to Fee and left the room. I had to rehears my ass off so I wouldn't go home. The competition was getting more stressful. Good singers were leaving every week. I had to be at my best game.
