It was now my turn to stand off at the side of the stage watching Louis perform 'Miss You' on the XFactor for the first time.
I grinned watching him.

"Is it my imagination?
Is it something that I'm taking?
All the smiles that I'm faking
Everything is great
Everything is fucking great
Going out every weekend
Staring at the stars or the ceiling
Hollywood friends, got to see them
Such a good time
I believe it this time
Tuesday night
Glazed over eyes
Just one more pint or five
Does it even matter anyway?" He talks his way through the first part of his song as I sing with him, he obviously missing the swearing out as the crew bleep it out in time.

"We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing "til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I miss you
Just like that and I'm sober
I'm asking myself, is it over?
Maybe I was lying when I told you
"Everything is great
Everything is fucking great"
And all of these thoughts and the feeling
Doesn't matter if you don't need them
I've been checking my phone all evening
Such a good time
I believe it this time
Tuesday night
Glazed over eyes
Just one more pint or five
Does it even matter anyway?"

I sway as Louis walks around the stage singing the crowd "We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I miss you

Now I'm asking my friends how I should say I'm sorry
They say "Lad, give it time, there's no need to worry"
And we can't even be on the phone now
And I can't even be with you alone now
Oh how, shit changes
We were in love
Now, we're strangers
When I feel it coming up I just throw it all away" he sings/talks his way through the song making me smile watching him

"GET ANOTHER TWO SHOTS 'CAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY!!!!" I shout excitedly as he talks on the stage and the crowd goes wild
"We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I'll miss you"

I cheer loudly as he finishes up the song and everyone in the crowd stands to their feet and applauds him.
"OI OIIIII!!!!" I shout excitedly.

He has a little talk with Dermot and he then exists the stage.

"Ready to go??" He laughs in my ear as I envelope him in the tightest hug "yeah come on" I grin and push him to around the backstage section where we'd leave and get in the car to head home.

"Take us to Tape London, Jerry" Louis says as we buckle our selves in.
