*FLASHBACK*

 "Chloe hold still!" Louis shouted holding my shouders down in attemp to try to stop my squirming.

 "No! I don't like pictures!" I screamed.

 I had been moving so that each time the picture was taken it would turn out blurry. I never really liked pictures...but only because they always turned out bad.

 "Chloe..." Louis said, his voice trailing off as he lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. "You look beautiful. Now will you please sit still?" He added.

 I smiled and nodded, watching the flash as the photographer gave us a thumbs up.

 I silently looked around at the cheesy Paris decorations; it was 8th grade formal and my date had simply left me with no explanation, but Louis, being the sweet person he is, took it upon himself to make me feel better and make sure I had a good time.

 "May I have this dance?" Louis asked extending his hand as slow music started. 

 "Of course." I replied putting my hand in his and letting him lead me onto the dance-floor.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Chloe, get the heck out of bed it's breakfast time!" I groaned at the sound of my friend Morgann's voice, and put a pillow over my head.

 I heard a small creak and started to turn around, but before I had time to roll over I was being drenched with ice water. I shot straight up and glared at my friend.

 "You're a dead man." I said squeezing water out of my hair. 

 "Only if you can catch me!" Morgann responded and then she was out of the door.

 I ran out after her but as I was running down the stairs I slipped on my socks. I heard some things being knocked over in the kitchen so I pulled my sorry butt off the steps and ran towards the kitchen: there, in the middle of a mess of pots and pans, was Morgann.

 I smirked at her and she gave me the middle finger. I faked a gasp, but helped her up anyway. 

 "You said there was breakfast, so what did you make?" I asked her, looking around the empty kitchen. 

 "Ha-ha! That's a good one...pretending like I would make something." Morgann laughed.

 I gave her my "angry stare" and crossed my arms over my chest.

 "No but really...I was thinking Chick-fil-a because I heard they're doing a two for one deal." Morgann said putting the last of the pans in it's place. 

 "Do you want me to call Hunter?" I asked.

 Hunter was Morgann's boyfriend who lived about 2 blocks away. Morgann nodded as she poured herself a glass of iced tea.

 "Tea? At 9:30?" I questioned. Morgann held up a finger as she finished her sip.

 "It rejuvenates me. Haha yes!" She said, pumping her arm in the air.

 "What? I'm confused. And it 'rejuvenates' you?" I responded, putting air quotes around rejuvenates. "You're already 21. How much younger do you want to seem?" I added.

 "Well, first of all, I said 'yes' because 'rejuvenates' is my Dictonary word of the day, and second of all, I did like being 19...ahhh the good old days." Morgann sighed.

 I laughed and told her I was going to call Hunter. I walked over to the phone and dialed Hunter's phone number. It beeped and his voicemail came on:

 "Hey it's Hunter! If I don't answer it's probably because I'm sleeping...but there's always the chance I don't like you. Well anyway, just leave a message...unless it's Chloe cause she's just...well you know." The message ended and I glared at the phone just like it was Hunter's face.

 I trudged upstairs and started getting ready.

~~~

 One hour later I had showered, blow-dried, curled, and gotten completley and utterly dressed. Now for make-up. I looked at myself in the mirror: long blonde hair, royal blue eyes, and flawless skin. I had to thank my mum later for giving me the skin part. I finished my make-up and walked downstairs.

 "Took you long enough!" Morgann said putting down her glass of tea. It was most likely her 3rd glass.

 Morgann and I had always been asked if we were sisters; she had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, flawless skin, and dark blue eyes.

 "Leggo'!" I shouted to Morgann as I grabbed my keys off the table, and walked outside to my cherry red Jeep Wrangler.

 As soon as I turned the key to start my car the radio turned on: Rock Me by One Direction.

 Everytime I thought about One Direction my heart jumped into my throat. I went everywhere with one of the boys in the band. Did everything with him. We were inspererable. Key word: were. Ever since that stupid preformance. It was all my fault. 

 "Ooo turn it up!" Morgann exclaimed climbing into the passenger side.

 I did as I was told and soon we were both singing along. Then my favorite line came: 

 I used to think that I was better alone. Why did I ever want to let you go? Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea (yeah). The words you whispered I will always believe. 

 Morgann turned down the music...killing my jam. Who does she think she is? Oh well.

 "Why do you only sing that line with so much...? I don't know, you just sing it differently. What makes that part so different from the rest of the song?" She asked.

 I already knew my answer, and it rested on my lips, but instead of telling Morgann, I shrugged.

 "Tell me. I know there's a reason." Morgann pushed. 

 "I just like that line. It just reminds me of things from when I was younger, that's all." I concluded trying to get Morgann to back off because I did not want to talk about this now. 

 "Just tell me-"

 Thankfully, Morgann was cut off when Hunter yanked open the door of my car. I guess we were at his house. 

 "Chick-fil-a?" Hunter asked breathlessly.

 "Chick-fil-a." Morgann and I responded. He hopped in the backseat after giving Morgann a quick kiss.

 "Fine, but you're telling my later." Morgann said as we drove towards the chicken biscuits awaiting us.

~~~

 "Okay, now those were good!" Hunter exclaimed as he finshed off his chicken biscuits.

 Hunter had gotten two biscuits (of course),and Morgann and I had each gotten one. We all gathered our trash and thew it away.

 "Where to next?" Hunter asked as we climbed back into my car.

 Morgann and I looked at each other and shared the same evil smile.

 "Oh God no...not the mall!" Hunter yelled, recognizing what he liked to call our "mall" face. He covered his eyes with his hands and fake cried. Morgann and I laughed in response, probably sharing the same idea of Victoria's Secret.

 "The mall awaits!" Morgann said, pointing in the general direction. 

 "Fine, but no more Victoria's Secert." Hunter replied with a very serious face. 

 "We'll see." I said as I backed out of the parking space and towards the mall.

*FLASHBACK*

 "Hey." Louis said, appearing at my side.

 I looked down and swallowed the huge lump in my throat. My microphone was getting sweaty in my hand as I neared the front of the line; today was the day I tried out for the X-Factor.

 I was getting more and more nervous as I got closer and closer to the front of the line.

 "Chill out, Chlo...and don't forget to breathe, cause that might end up bad." Louis added. I smiled and looked up at him.

 "What if I don't make it?" I asked, biting my bottom lip.

 "Don't say that. You are the most amazing singer I've ever heard. We're in this together." Louis responded, wrapping me up in a hug. 

 "Chloe Thomas." I heard my name being said and stepped up in front of the producers.

 I looked back at Louis one last time and he winked at me. I exhaled one more time before turning back around.

 "Whenever you're ready." One of the producers said.

 I started my song and, just like Louis said, it was amazing.
