Double Act (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter Five: "We're Double Act..."

Double Act - Chapter 5

~~ Lara's P.O.V ~~

I couldn't believe how cheeky that guy was. Who did he think he was? A celebrity? I guess his flirting kind of made me a little more confident, so I shouldn't moan. He just wasn't what I needed right then.

I walked aimlessly for a minute, hoping to find the right way back to where my siblings were. I walked through alien corridors until a familiar pot plant came in to view. I'd never been so happy to see a plant in my life!

Almost running now, I quickly found a worried James sitting with his back to the wall and his head in his hands. I  softly tapped him on the head with my guitar, and his head snapped up to look at me with desperate eyes.

"Lara, where the hell have you been?!" he yelled, jumping up and pushing me towards the steps.

"Nice to see you too..." I muttered. If James heard it, he ignored my sarcastic comment and replied with a glare. It may have been just a glare, but it silenced me all the same.

"You're on in two minutes!"  He added before giving me a final shove. I spotted Livvy already standing there, biting her nails and looking dead nervous.

She set eyes on me and grabbed my arm. I winced as her fingernails dug into me, but knew I'd worried her so didn't complain. "Don't ever leave me like that!" she hissed, hugging me tightly.

I heard someone tell us that we had ten seconds, and instantly froze. I took a breath, and remembered the boys' advice. Underwear...

Liv turned to me when the man had counted down to five. "Where did you go?" she asked curiously. I shrugged.

"Bumped into some guy, he gave me a bit of advice."

I watched her jaw drop as we were ushered onto the large stage. Her eyes almost exploded with the glare that she gave me, but she quickly realised where she was and regained that million dollar smile of hers.

I looked in the direction of the four judges who would decide our fate. I have never depended on four people so much in my whole life, and it sure didn't feel good.

My gaze then decided to wander to the faces of the audience. Some were cheering, but some were looking on with faces of doubt. The sight of this made questions begin to swarm around my mind.

What if I wasn't good enough? What then? I couldn't handle thousands of people booing at me...

My thoughts were interrupted by my sister answering a judge's question. My head whipped round to the panel in front of us.

"We're Double Act. I'm Livvy, and this is my twin sister Lara." The audience cheered for us, and the judges beamed. They asked our ages, and Livvy replied confidently. I, with my head down, stood still next to her, clutching my guitar tightly to my side.
