BUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Goes the alarm “Good morning, gorgeous” Jayden says as he turns the alarm off. “Good morning, what time is it?” I reply back. “Uhh...6:30” he says getting out of bed. I could honestly swear it was so much earlier than 6:30 and I just wanted to go back to sleep but it was boy’s big day today and we all had to wake up. Jayden went to wake Trent up and I went to have a shower, so I was casually having a pretty good shower then someone knocks at the door. I thought it was Jayden so I said come in but it was Trent....can you say awkward? Yeah, it was weird he came in got his hair product and asked “Are you coming to rehearsal with us today?” “OMG Trent, I’m in the shower!” I replied and he laughed and said I’ll talk to you after then and walked out. So when I did get out the shower and got myself ready for the day I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast while Jayden went to get ready. In the kitchen was Trent and Julian as well I asked Julian “So where is Jordan?” he replied back “She went home but is coming later. I heard someone here interrupted your shower this morning” Trent and him laughed. By now it’s around 7:15 and all of us were ready except for Zach. We walked down to Zach’s hotel room and there was Zach walking around completely naked but no one really cared it was quite funny to me. We told him to hurry up because rehearsal started at 7:45 and if he didn’t put clothes on soon they would be late!
8:00 all the boys rushing to get into practice and when they finally did Bella screamed out “I think you guys are a bit late!”
“Ha ha ha, we wouldn’t have been if some dude here put clothes on faster” Will said looking at Zach. Anyway, the boys got into rehearsal mode and got straight into practicing. I knew that Jayden had to focus on a lot today so I went up to him gave him a hug and kiss and said I’ll let him practice without distraction. “I love you, I’ll see you later then” He replied giving me another kiss and I said goodbye and good luck to all the other boys and went home.
I got home and opened my closet “What to wear, what to wear?” I said to myself. I knew it had to be nice and formal but still casual. I picked out a black high low skirt with a blue ruffle crop top with long sleeves and some nice nude heels “PERFECT” I said. Anyway time went by so fast and it was already 11:30, so I rang Sarah to see if she wanted to spend the day with me before going to the finals she said yes so I asked her to meet up at a little beach side restaurant to have some lunch. We met up not long after and it felt like for ever since I have seen here but it has only been 3 days. We talked about so much over lunch about life, how Jayden and I are going, if I can introduce her to Trent already because she is obsessed with him and all that jazz. “So how are you and Jayden? You guys spent a lot of time together now” Sarah said. “We are going good, I am really happy now. Yeah we spend a lot of time together but it’s so hard to be away from him” I smiled.
“Oh, young love” Sarah laughed. She made me think for a bit, is it just ‘young love’ or do we really have something special? I don’t know I guess time will tell, right? “Do you wa....” I started saying but then my phone started to ring*I am the egg man, i am the egg man* started playing so I knew it was Jayden “Wait a sec I said” getting my phone out my bag. “Hello babe, what’s up?” I asked “Hey babe, are you busy? We really need your help” “Uh, I’m just out at lunch with Sarah what do you want?” I replied back all worried, he sounded almost scared in a way. “One of our dancers has hurt herself pretty bad and we don’t have a back up, can you come down and learn this routine for us? Please babe?” Okay, was I hearing right? He asked if I can dance with them on the show tonight. Is this actually happening? “Babe, are you still there?” he said. “Yeah, I’ll do it I will be there soon” I said back. “What is happening?” Sarah asked. “Um...I’m going to be dancing at the show tonight. I have to go Sarah, see you later?” I said rushing to get my things together. “OMG go then I’ll pay, see you later” she said and I have her a hug and went to the X factor studio.
I got there as soon as I can and i saw the boys on the stage rehearsing so I walked to them. “Thank you so much” Jayden said hugging me, yeah his hugs are pretty amazing I gotta say. “That’s okay I replied” So I went off with the dancers and I only had 6 hours to learn the routine and perfect it, I knew this was going to be hard. So I rehearsed all day with the amazing dancers and I was so tired but there was this one part in the dance when we were paired up with one of the boys and I was with Jayden. I whispered to him “Now let’s see if that dance lesson paid off?” And he laughed. We did the whole performance full out to see how everything will be and I was so surprised that I actually got all of that and it looked so good. All the boys still had to perform so I went off with the other dancers to get ready for the show and at this point it was safe to say I was freaking the hell out. After I got ready and into the costume I had some time to spend with Jayden and the rest of the boys so I was in their dressing room with them. “Do you remember when we first met? We sat on this very couch and I was hysterical? Now look at us, we have been together for so long and you made it to the final” I said to Jayden holding his hand and looking into his gorgeous eyes. “I remember that day like yesterday and WE made it to the final” He replied back giving me a little kiss “You will do amazing tonight, I know it” he added.
“I know you will do amazing tonight but I don’t know about me, I only learnt it today and I don’t want to stuff anything up” “You won’t stuff up, be that amazing dancer I know you are and you will do amazing” I don’t know how he does it but when I’m so nervous he always knows how to calm me down. *15 MINUTES UNTIL WE START* Someone said. I hugged all the boys told them good luck and that they will do amazing and I went back with the dancers.
I got a text from Sarah saying ‘I here now and seated, god luck!’ and I tried to see where she was sitting but i couldn’t. The show started and my heart rate went up, I knew the boys performance was on first and that i needed to get into performance mode so I took a couple of deep breaths in and cleared my mind.
*THE COLLECTIVE*
Was called and I walked on staged into position. The song start and I started dancing as good as I can, I knew I couldn’t stuff up. The partner bit came up and Jayden killed that bit, he was perfect and I was so proud then before I slipped away from him he gave me a quick little kiss. I was in shock but had to keep dancing. Anyway the dance ended and the crowed was going crazy and the judges were standing and I felt like that was the best performance I have done in my life. All the dancers walked backstage and waited for the judges comments. Nat and Guy loved it and Mel did too but just before Ronan started to speak she said “Jayden, who’s that dancer you kissed? We all saw that sneaky kiss” Jayden went all red and the boys laughed “Thats my girlfriend Mel” Jayden said and everyone awed. I had the biggest smile on my face when he said that, it was too cute. The decision was up next and you could feel the nerves coming off all the contestants.
*IN THIRD PLACE IS........................................THE COLLECTIVE*
My heart stopped, I knew for sure they were going to win and I knew how much the boys wanted this but they gave a hug to the other two and watched back on their time on X factor and walked off stage. I gave Jayden the biggest hug ever and told him he didn’t need to win because he is a winner in my eyes. I hugged all the boys, even if they didn’t win they have their whole career ahead of them. They huddled up and said how much they are proud of one another and they did the best that can and that’s all they could have done. When Sammi got called out as the winner the boys put everything aside and cheered and clapped for her and danced when she was singing her winners single. It’s like everyone forgot about the whole competition and was so excited for her.
But tonight was not the end for The Collective; it is just the very start!
