Hey guys! This chapter is dedicated to
Chloe44 for having great taste in music. ;)

"Chloe, you have to get out of bed." Morgann said sitting on my bed. I rolled over from facing the window and curled into the fetal position. I sniffled.
"What if I ruined her life?" I whispered. I still can't believe that happened.
"Considering I have no idea what you did, I'm really confused." She replied.
"Ok." I started sitting up in bed. "Well, when Eleanor was washing up in the bathroom Louis and I started talking....about me being the support act for their next concert. Before I knew it he kissed me as Eleanor caught us." It all rushed out. Morgann's eyes widened and I looked down and picked at my cuticles.
"Oh..." Morgann mumbled. "Well, you haven't eaten in two days so even if I have to put you to sleep and feed you it will happen." She added. I gave her a small smile. Morgann pulled out a spicy chicken biscuit and handed it to me. She got up and closed the door. I heard her talking to someone (probably Hunter). I unwrapped my biscuit and smiled: etched into the top of my biscuit was Morgann's handwriting that said "luv ya" I happily ate it and as I was finishing I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in." I said through a mouthful of chicken. The door swung open and standing there was the person I least expected to see. "You probably shouldn't be here." I told them.
"I just wanted to tell you that what happened at Danielle's party wasn't a mistake. And you're still auditioning for Simon." Louis replied. I looked down and continued picking at my cuticles.
"Did I ruin you and Eleanor's relationship?" I asked, looking back up at him with my eyes glistening with tears. Louis closed the door and sat down on my bed.
"We're trying to work things out. I told her about touring with you and she didn't like the idea so we might break up as a mutual decision." He responded. I felt a tear fall from my eye and land on my comforter.
"This wasn't supposed to happen. We were just starting to get along." I said, the tears falling more frequently now.
"Well I don't know what to do, because I was always in love with you but I fell in love with Eleanor along the way." Louis said. I looked him in the eye before taking his phone from his hand and dialing Eleanor.
"Hi Eleanor it's Chloe....no....it was a mistake....yes I swear....ok thanks....bye." I hung up and told Louis that there was no way they were splitting up because of me and that she was ok with us touring together.
"See ya' bestie." Louis mumbled sending me a wink before leaving. I smiled and decided it was time for me to get up. I walked to my closet and looked for something cute to wear. I finally decided on a muti colored tank top, yellow shorts and my powder blue Vans. I quickly pulled my hair up into a messy bun and walked downstairs.
"Let's go on an adventure." I said to Morgann and Hunter before grabbing my keys and walking out to my Jeep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was so much fun!" Hunter exclaimed as we walked back in the door. Morgann and I walked in with towels around our neck: We had gone to Target, bought swim suits, gone to a waterpark, then went to Taco Bell for dinner. We had also gone shopping in London for 3 hours while Hunter went to Tiffany's and bought Morgann a promise ring. I almost cried.
"Yeah, thanks Chloe." Morgann added, admiring her new ring. I smiled and the sparkle in Morgann's eye. Hunter looked at his watch.
"Crap! I have to go. Bye babe." Hunter said kissing Morgann and waving to me.
"I'm gonna go shower. I have a big day tomorrow." I told Morgann referring to my audition for Simon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked down the stairs wringing my hair with a towel. Morgann was on the phone with someone so I stopped and listened.
"Niall I've told you a million times I have a boyfriend....no I'm not leaving him....Niall.....fine meet me at the rec center at 10:00....you better get ready to-" But Morgann was cut short when I slipped and she heard me. She hung up and walked into the foyer area.
"Ow." I groaned from the floor. Morgann pulled me up and looked at me.
"What did you hear?" She asked, crossing her arms over her barley-there chest.
"Enough to know that you're hooking up with Niall!" I shouted, throwing my arms up in the air.
"Hooking up with him?! No if anything it's the opposite! I was about to say 'you better get ready to get beat by a girl' cause he wants me to play him in ping pong!" Morgann cried.
"But I heard you say that you had a boyfriend." I mumbled looking down.
"Yeah cause he was using me as a dummy for when he asks out this other girl so I was joking with him!" She replied. I could tell something was up.
"Are you sure?" I asked her. She nodded and then walked in the kitchen to pour herself some sweet tea. "Whatever." I said walking back upstairs. She was lying to me and I know it. The question is why? I tries to think and eventually drifted into a wired dream.
*DREAM*
"Chloe you did amazing!" Louis shouted picking me up and then kissing me. I kissed him back and then ran over to the rest of the boys.
"What did ya' think?" I asked skipping backwards to wherever they were walking.
"What did you're boyfriend say?" Niall teased I playfully slapped his arm and looked at Harry for an answer.
"You did great." He answered laughing. I looked at Zayn with wide eyes. He gave me a thumbs up before laughing when I collided with the janitors cart and fell in the dirty mop water.
"Ew!!" I screeched. "Nobody found it necessary to tell me that I was going to get soaked with mop water?!" I shouted at them.
"I considered it, but decided against it." Liam responded, as him and the rest of the boys kept walking.
"HELP!!!" I called. Looking around, and seeing nobody, I attempted to pull myself out.
"Need some help?" I looked behind me and Eleanor Calder was staring at me. I swallowed and nodded. After stealing her boyfriend I was always a little uneasy around her. "I needed some help. After Louis dumped me for you." Eleanor added, walking towards the door labeled "Louis". I grabbed her hand and she turned around and slapped me. "Don't touch me." She growled.
*END OF DREAM*
I woke up and touched the place where she slapped me. It was almost like I could feel it stinging my cheek. I grabbed my alarm clock and rubbed my eyes. The clock read 7:12 am. I groaned and realized I had to get up early for work anyway. I clicked on my T.V. and watched the news.
"Continuing on the topic of One Direction, and anonymous source has told us that they spotted two people at Danielle Peazer's birthday party who do not usually attend." Rachel (the newscaster) said. A picture of me and Morgann flashed on the screen and I swallowed and widened my eyes. "This source has also mentioned that they saw Louis and the girl to the right hanging around each other a lot. It is also rumored that this girl will be joining them on their next tour. I wish I had her name but our source refused to give it up. I'm Rachel and that was your latest gossip update. Now back to Rick in the studio." Rachel smiled into the camera and suddenly I my stomach didn't feel so well. I quickly called my boss and told him I was staying home because I was sick. He mumbled a few curse words but said okay and then hung up.
"Chloe?" I looked up and Morgann was standing in my doorway. "Did you watch the news?" She asked. I nodded and her grip around the edge of the door tightened.
"It's okay Morgann. Whoever their anonymous source was was nice enough to keep our names to themselves." I replied giving her a tight smile. Morgann mimicked my smile an walked around the edge of the door: She was wearing a red v-neck t-shirt, black pants, and her red Van's. I raised an eyebrow at her and she sighed.
"I got a job at Target because Hunter's parents like a 'working woman'. Or so says Hunter anyway." Morgann looked down and grimaced. "I'm off to work." She waved and then left the room. I heard the door slam and looked at my clock again: 7:50 am. I groaned and decided it was time for me to get out of bed. I trudged downstairs, pulled out a box of pancake mix, and a package of bacon. As I was frying the bacon my phone rang distracting me and causing me to burn my hand on the pan.
"Shoot!" I cried running it under cold water, and trying to dull the pain. My phone kept ringing so I grabbed it and tapped the answer button without looking. "Hello?" I asked impatiently.
"Woah someone's PMSing." I recognized the voice of Harry and smiled.
"Yes because you saying I'm PMSing makes me want to slap somebody less." I replied. I heard laughing before a response.
"What's up with you this morning?" Niall asked. I guess I was on speaker.
"I just burned my hand on a pan of bacon and then my phone wouldn't shut up so that's why I'm pissed." I said, turning off the water and going back to my bacon.
"We just wanted to tell you to meet us outside your house at 12:30 so we can pick you up to audition for Simon." Zayn added. I took the bacon out of the pan and flipped my pancakes, sprinkling some chocolate chips in as I went.
"Okay, sounds good. See you guys there." I responded. They all said bye and it wasn't until after I hung up that I noticed Louis didn't seem to be there. And if he was he sure was being quiet. Whatever. I shoved a mouthful of pancakes into my mouth and then washed it down with some orange juice. After eating I walked upstairs and started to get ready. This was going to be interesting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a strange 3 hours and 30 minutes I was climbing into their limo wearing a white lacy strapless crop top, a coral high waisted skirt, a denim vest, my black sequin ballet flats, and a statement necklace with black vertical rectangles. To finish it off I had managed to pull my hair into a ponytail and shape one curl down my back. "Vas happenin'?" Zayn asked, cracking a smile.
"Getting super nervous." I replied rubbing my clammy hands together.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. Simon may be all scary on T.V. But he's a really great guy." Liam reassured me. He patted my hand and I smiled.
"Hey, where's I asked looking all around the limo...even the driver wasn't Louis.
"Sorting things out with Eleanor." Harry replied. I could feel my face fall as the realization that my best friend wasn't going to be here sunk in,
"It's ok Chloe. We're here for you." Liam said, responding to my frown. "We're here." He added as we pulled up to a mansion.
"Give 'em all you you got, Chlo!" Zayn exclaimed patting my arm.
"Thanks. You guys are great." I replied, climbing out of the limo. "You guys coming?" I asked poking my head back into the limo.
"Sorry Chlo. It's all up to you, babe." Niall said, closing the door as the driver pulled away. I walked up and knocked the door.
"You must be Chloe! Come in, come in!" Simon shouted. I smiled and walked in. He lead me to his office. "It's nice to see you again." He smiled at me his crows feet showing.
"Wait you remember me?" I scoffed.
"Of course! It's not everyday you hear a voice as phenomenal as yours." Simon responded. I felt a warm blush creep up on my cheeks. "Well, it's time for you to refresh my memory." He clapped his hands together and sat down. I slowly started singing "Who you are" by Jessie J. I fell in love with the song after I heard Angie Miller sing it on American Idol (even though I live in England).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Just sign here, and here, and initial here, here, and here." Simon said, pointing to dotted lines on my contract. I took the pen and signed all of the lines. "Chloe Thomas, you are now the support act for the One Direction Take Me Home 2013 concert tour." I smiled as tears fell from my eyes and splattered on my top. I was so happy that I didn't even care.
