My 1D Brothers

The Final Thing...It's Official Now.

Erika POV:

The last show. The final show to impress the judges and the people. I would dance my final dance, and the audience and the viewers at home would vote. I chose the music, They Don't Know About Us by One Direction. It was a heartfelt song.

I wanted to do an upbeat song at first, but went with the softer one because it wouldn't be what people would expect out of me, a hip-hop dancer.

I got onto stage. This was the real, final thing. This chose my destiny. I practiced this day and night. I saw the boys in the crowd. I look around and there are people holding signs with my name on them. I smiled. All these people are supporting me. I have to get this down.

I closed my eyes and waited for the music to start. It started and I counted my first few steps, which were always the hardest. After that, I flowed with the music. When I was done, the judges and most of the audience gave me a standing ovation. I was proud of myself, knowing finally that I was a success, and what the people at school said was untrue.

I started crying and the boys saw it. They ran up onto stage and hugged me.

"All those bullies were wrong. You know that. I know that. All the people here now, clapping for you, know that you didn't deserve it. And now you finally understand." Liam said.

"You are perfect. And no one can change you. Don't let anyone bring you down." Harry said.

"You're beautiful. You need to hear that more often." Niall said.

"Just let me tell you, you are already a pro dancer." Zayn said with a smile.

"My little carrot is growing up so fast." Louis said, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye. I laughed and hugged them all. "Thank you." I said.

We turned to the judges. I held hands with Liam and Niall, the two boys that first came into my room and told me they apprecited the support they gave me. Now, it was time for me to feel that way.

The boys supported me through the whole thing and I love them. With almost every piece of my heart.

"Erika, you did a wonderful job. We are going to count the votes and let you know who won." Brittany said.

I smiled and prayed I won at least third place. That would mean I'm qualified to become a professional dancer/choreographer.

10 minutes later, the votes were in.

"In third place, is Mimi!" the crowd went wild.

"In second place is....." I panicked. I'd rather be second than first.

"Second is Erika!!!" the announcer said. The crownd went even crazier than before and everyone clapped and wooped.

"And in first place is Danielle!" Danielle got first and I clapped for her. I really thought she was a good dancer. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Thank you everybody, for coming to see the X Factor! See you next time!"

The camera went around to the winners and I waved and smiled at it.

Backstage, the boys came to me with a contract in hand.

I read the contract and my eyes went wide.

NO. THIS COULDN'T BE HAPPENING. NO. FUCKING. WAY. BEST. THING. EVER.
