~Your Little Things~

Roxy's POV

"And Welcome Back To The X Factor!" the anouncer yells to the crowd. The screams were loud enough to burst my eardrum, even from backstage. I sat in the waiting chairs, along with Brooklyn and Rose, my group members and best friends.

We have been the Three Musketeers since about the first day of kindergarten, when we made macaroni necklaces, but mine broke so Rose gave me hers, then Brooklyn gave Rose hers and BOOM we became instant best friends. The story is truly hilarious if you know the details, and Rose likes to remind me and Brooklyn every single day that she was the one who started our friendship.

I twisted in my chair uncomfortably, a bit nervous for this performance. Brooklyn gave me a sympathetic look and a small smile as she continued to scan the room for any cute guys, while Rose mouthed to me, "It'll be okay."

The stage manager looked up at me, signaling that we were next, and I nodded as me and the girls stood up behind the stage. It was like a wall, and it would move for us when it was time.

"Don't forget the lyrics. Don't forget the lyrics." I could hear Rose remind us as we placed ourselves on stage as they showed our pictures. How could I? She's been drilling them in my head for the past forvever!!!

My name is Roxy, I'm tall with dark, chocolate brown hair and pale blue eyes. My skin is pretty fair, and I'm that person that jumps out in a crowd. Rose says that I have nice cheekbones, whatever that means. I guess i'm the "rowdy" one in the group, Brooklyn calls me her party animal.

Rose is tan, petite girl with caramel hair and green eyes. She is the kind of girl everyone loves, because she is just lovable and ....Rose. She always is the one to go to for advice, but she can be the adventurous kind when she wants too be. I've noticed if you stare into her eyes for a long time, you get hypnotized.

Brooklyn's an overall cute girl. She's short, only 5'4, and has these huge brown eyes that could get her anything in the world. She's got this pale skin, almost white and dark hair like the princess, Snow White. She may seem like the quiet type because of her appearance, but she's willing to talk to anybody and everybody!

"25 seconds!" The stage manager called out. I felt my hands begin to shake as I began to get nervous. I felt Brooklyn's small hand clasp around mine and give it a squeeze, I squeezed hers back then gave my full attention to the stage. We stood behind the wall, breath shaking and heart racing, not saying a word. "10...9...8...7...6...5...4..." Then he just mouthed the rest, and the wall moved so we could see everyone in front of us. I heard the crowd, but it was dulled from the earpeice in my ear. Then I heard the piano begin to play, and I remembered the choreography. Just in time my feet began to move for me. My hand pushed the mic up to my mouth, and, as if my body was on auto-pilot, I began to sing.

"And now he's back in the atmosphere with drops of jupiter in his hair, heyy heyyeyyy.He walks like summer and talks like rain, reminding me that theres time to change, hey hey." Brooklyn was next and I was praying she got the timing right and got the right lyrics.

"Since his return from the stay on the moon, he listens like spring and he talks like June, hey oohhhh." Then all of us together, as we stepped off the platform and moved to different parts of the stage.

"Tell me, did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded, and that heaven is overrated? Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star, one without a permanent scar, and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?" Rose got ready for her next part, taking in a shaky breath, I sent her a message in my head I knew she couldn't receive it, but doing that made me feel better.

"Well now he's back from that soul vacation, chasing his way through the constellation, hey, hey, he checks out Mozart while he does tae-bo, reminds me that there's room to grow, heyyyeyy, heyyyeyyy." Crap it's my part now. I could hear Simon's voice in my mind, "Now you move to the center of the stage, switiching with Rose, and Brooklyn comes in on the side of you, there you go!" I took a deep breath and sang.
