Superstar

4. Party and Bullshit.

It has been a week since learning that the five beautiful boys of One Direction were to be our guest mentors, and throughout this whole week nothing has burned in my mind more than Niall's hug. The way his arms gently held me close, the way his face buried into my neck and the way his breath cascaded down my neck. It haunted my dreams, even kept me up all night. Leave it to the Irish god to have me fall in love with him all over again, though we would never happen. He was famous, hell he had girls being thrown at him from every angle! It just wasn't fair.

I shook my head, trying to focus. Me and all the other acts in our category were stuffed in one room, one by one we were pulled into a different room to perform for Demi and 1D. Yep, if you hadn't guess, today was the judge's houses performance day. All week Bailey and I have brutally tried to find the perfect song to perform, work it til we liked it, and then eventually we would perform it. It took us a while to do so, but we found a song we both adored. This is Me by Demi Lovato from Camp Rock. Old song, and probably cheesy considering who our mentor was, but it was a great song and our arrangement made it that much better.

Only two or three acts have gone so far. Apparently, four acts were to be cut in each category. The chances- which were 50%- were absolutely nerve-wracking. I exhaled a long sigh, watching as someone burst through the door. Alexis. She looked completely content with herself, which caused me to snort silently to myself. Apparently, Bailey heard me and snickered next to me. A smirk deviously played at the edges of my lips as my eyes fell on Demi as she walked in. "Jamie and Bailey?" She called, dropping our last names.

Shit, I was.. scared. I regulated my breathing slowly and got up in a syncronized motion with Bailey, we both made our way over to her. "Follow me girls!" Demi cheered happily, which made me smile. Though I was nervous and about a billion butterflies were having a grand party in my stomach, her smile calmed me down in the slightest bit. We were brought to the room we first were put in just a week ago, but it was a little different. The couches she owned were put together, and there were mics and a guitarist in the back on a stool. I giggled to myself, seeing One Direction trying to squeeze on one couch. Didn't any of them notice there was plenty of room next to Demi? Oh god, I'm in love with five oblivious idiots..

I smiled and waved at all of them, and they chorused a "hello!" with Niall adding "Jamie... and Bailey!" I held in a laugh, it seemed like Bailey had been absent in Niall's thoughts. Niall and I had actually worked together a lot. I don't know why, probably just a little bit of luck on my part. 

Bailey and I positioned ourselves at the mics, the mentors' eyes shining with anticipation. "Alright, whenever you're ready, babes." Louis said with a wink ending his sentence. I nodded and listened contently as the guitar started strumming. Earlier Demi had given Bai and I some notes on what we could do to perform better, and we worked on it for as long as we could. We were ready for this, no matter how many nerves strung out inside of me, I knew I was ready for this, I had been all along.

I've always been the kind of girl that hid my face.So afraid to tell the world what I've got to say. But I have this dream right inside of me. I'm gonna let it show. It's time, to let you know. To let you know..

We did the whole song to a slower beat and longer vibratos that were, in all honesty, quite stunning. At the time appropriate, Bailey did Joe's part in the song and she did the lower part so well, I was utterly surprised especially since she was having trouble earlier! As the song came to its close, I opened my eyes which I hadn't even realized had been shut, to see the mentors just staring at us, even Demi seemed to caked with shock. I just smiled, waved and said a quick "thank you" before exiting, hearing things like 'they've got stage pressence' '... so much emotion!' and so on. I felt my heart flutter. Damn, we were actually quite amazing and I wasn't afraid to admit it.
