~~~CHP. 1~~~
Today was the day. The day everything was going to change. I shouldve done this 2 years ago. But. I was finally going to do it. I had too. If I wanted my dreams to come true...I had to try.
"Ariel Smith. You're next." The man said handing me a microphone. I took a deep breath. "Your on!" The man said to me, I got up on the stairs and went on stage. "And what is your name?" Simon Cowell asked me, "Ariel Smith..." I said nervously, "and where are you from?" He asked, "Bradford." I said. "And what will you be singing for us today?" Cheryl asked me, "Give Your Heart A Break by Demi Lovato..." I said, the music started playing and the "the day I first met you. You told me, you'd never fall in love. But now that I get you, I know fear is what it really was..." I finished the song and everyone was clapping. I couldn't believe I just done that. I was terrifyed to sing infront of anyone. There are only two people I have EVER sung infront of. There were 4 judges; Cheryl,Nicole,Louis, and Simon. They all had smiles on their faces except Simon. "I loved you!" Louis said, I had a huge smile on my face. Cheryl and Nicole agreed with him, Simon had that annoyed look. "Let's start. I didn't like you. Your voice is alright but...you picked the wrong song. Sweetheart, you're never going to be able to have a strong voice like Demi Lovato. I think you are to strong. Mentally. You haven't been hurt enough. You're too happy." He said, I cocked an eyebrow. Me. Happy? Haven't been hurt? Let's see. When I was 13 both of my parents walked out on me, they said they couldn't afford me and that I was too much work. My moms bestfriend Stephanie took me in, then died of cancer when I was 16. And not to say, the love of my life left me to audition for this stupid show, the X-factor. The boy that I loved since I was 13, we got in a fight one night and the next day. He had left to the audition. After he became famous he just forgot about me. Never called me. I was strong? That was funny. I had been bullied my entire life. My ex was the only one that was there for me, until he left. Words could not describe how much I hated the name Zayn Malik....
~~~CHP. 2~~~ "I say you need more work. Its going to be a no for me" Simon said emotionless, my heart dropped. "I think you're wrong Simon. I like you. Its a yes for me!" Louis said kindly, "I do think your vocals arnt very strong but with work you can sing strong and powerfully...I'm going to ha ve to say yes." Cheryl said. I smiled. Two yes'. Now it was all up to Nicole. "What do you say Nicole?" Simon asked, "no guys. You know I hate to be in this position. I mean Simon has a point. You picked the wrong song and your vocals aren't strong. But...if we give you a chance do you think you could improve?" She asked me, "of course." I said shyly, I was so scared my heart was racing. My entire life depended on this yes or no answer. "Well I hope you don't let us down. I'm going to say yes." She said, I was smiling so hard I couldn't stop. "Thank you so much! I won't let you down. I promise!" I said, I walked off stage and finally took a breath. I couldn't believe this. I was hurt by what Simon said but...this was the first step to becoming a professional singer. I was proud of my self...not just for getting 3 yes' but actually getting up on stage. I didn't think I'd ever be able to do that in my life. Shortly most of the world would hear my voice, before only my stupid ex boyfriend,Zayn, and my aunt Stephanie had heard my voice. This was going to be a new beginning. I knew it. Something big was going to happen. Faith was on my side...
My thoughts got interrupted by the man that directed me on stage. "Be at this location at noon in 2 weeks. You don't want to be late for your first day of X factor bootcamp." The man said.
I grabbed my stuff, my contestant card and headed out the exit to my loft. This was going to be big. ~~~CHP.3~~~ I ran into my bedroom and jumped on the bed. I blasted the radio, 'Blow Me One Last Kiss' by P!nk was on. I was singing along into my brush. "IVE HAD A SHIT DAY! YOU'VE HAD A SHIT DAY!"
The song was over and I fell to my bed in giggles. I turned off the radio and went downstairs. I made myself some noodles and opened up my laptop, it had a bunch of doodles and hearts on it. 'ZAYN LOVES ARIEL!♥' was written in big letters, Zayn had wrote that a long time ago. I knew I shouldve gotten a new laptop a long time ago. I've had this one for so long, Zayn had bought it for me for my 15th birthday. I opened my laptop just before I clicked the browser my eye caught a folder. It was marked with a heart, I clicked on it.
