Harry's POV

As soon as I heard the voice from beside me, I knew exactly who it was.

"Louis??" I smiled, looking up to meet his eyes.

"Harry, is it really you?" he replied, looking like he was about to cry.

I didn't say anything back and just ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him so so tightly, he did the same to me and even though it was slightly awkward because we were in a public bathroom, I didn't really care at this moment. Because he was here and he was real. Louis, the boy I had fallen in love with so many months ago, was finally here with me. I could feel myself starting to tear up as he whispered things like "I missed you" to me, and we didn't let go of the hug for ages. I didn't care if I was missing the performance, even though I probably still had ages until it was my turn, I just cared that I was with Louis right now and he was real and he was okay and alive.

"Wow... Louis... is this really you? What happened for all those months you were gone?" I asked, touching his cheek softly to try and take this all in and actually be able to reach out and touch him after so long. I finally got to see his perfect face again.

"I'll explain later angel, but right now we have a performance to get to."

We? Did that mean he would be performing here too?

I mean, it did make sense, he seemed to love acting and singing and always played the bigger roles in our theatre performances.

We walked back to the room full of everyone else, waiting for our names to be called up individually, but there was still a while to go so I had time to talk over things and introduce him to everyone else.

As we walked into the room, his hand holding mine, I could see Niall's face light up just like mine did when I saw him in the bathroom. And accidentally peed on his shoe, whoops.

"LOUIS??" He screamed, barging past loads of people and running up to Louis to hug him, so he let go of my hand for a second to hug Niall.

The other two boys Zayn and Liam came up behind us wondering what all the fuss was about.

"What happened? How come you were gone for so long?" Niall asked, just as curious as me.

"I'll explain to everyone later. For now, let's all catch up!" Louis responded, and all 5 of us took a seat near the middle of the room.

"Oh yeah, this is Zayn and Liam" I introduced Louis to them both, and they seemed to get along pretty easily.

We were all talking for a while before it was my turn to go on stage first.

"Good luck Harry" Louis said, pulling me into a quick kiss.

I missed that feeling so much. It still gave me butterflies just looking at this boy, there were no words that could ever explain how perfect he was to me.

And now I have him back, I knew everything was going to be okay.

I paced out onto the stage, looking behind me one more time to see the four other boys smiling at me and cheering me on.

I looked over the other way, seeing the millions of people in the audience staring at me. I could see my mother somewhere near the back, sitting somewhat near Louis' mum. I think they had made friends with eachother over time.

I was filled with excitement knowing that I got to perform in front of so many people and I had been waiting my whole life for this moment and it couldn't get any more perfect.

Well, actually, it could.

If I won this, or even passing through the first round would be absolutely amazing.

I held the microphone up to my mouth and the judges asked me a few questions, then the music started.

Once again, I gave a quick glance back to the boys behind the stage then speedily looked back to the audience so I didn't seem suspicious. I knew I was being cheered on from the sides, and that made me even more motivated to do well in my audition.

I took a deep breath and started singing the words.

Finally, after my song finished, I heard a tiny bit of applause from the audience. The judges made their comments and were ready to make their final decision and I was terrified, because I'd really love to get through to at least the first round.

I just had to hope that they liked it...

They finally looked back at me, saying their opinions.

And...

I didn't get through.

I thanked them, giving a little smile even though I wasn't too happy with their decision.

I just knew that now I had to work harder on my music and my singing voice. I don't understand what I did wrong though, did I chose the wrong song? Was my voice not good enough?

I soon let go of all my doubts when Louis ran up to me once I returned backstage and kissed me lightly on the cheek.

"You did amazing Harry, I'm sorry that you didn't get through" he says, giving me a huge smile and reassuring me that I did great even if the judges didn't think so. And of course, that made me instantly feel better.

After all 5 of us auditioned, we sat backstage quite sadly.

Only about 1 or 2 of us got through, but I guess that was better than nothing. I was definitely happy for them, especially Louis who got through to the next round.

Louis' POV

I got through to the next round.

I actually did it.

But somehow, I didn't feel as happy as I should have because I realised Harry didn't make it to the next round and that didn't feel right to me. I didn't want to continue further without him by my side throughout the whole journey, but he told me to concentrate on my dreams and my future and not worry about him.

But I had to worry about Harry, of course, because I loved him and I didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, they called me back on stage.

Then they called Zayn.

Then they called Liam.

Then they called Niall.

And finally, they called Harry.

I had no idea what was happening, were they going to let us all go? I was so confused.

"Guys..." one of the judges began.

All of us were huddled together, scared of what they were going to say next.

"We have decided to put you together as a band."
