Liz's P.O.V

"I just can't believe that you're going home." Caitlin said, wrapping her arms around Jade's neck. I wiped away the tears that were falling from my eyes as their hug broke and she moved to hug me.

Tonight was the dreaded result night and we've already gotten through to next week. But that meant that we knew who was going home and unfortunately for us, Jade was getting sent home. Even worse, so was Escape. The band that we've known since the judges homes was being sent home. I was going to miss Molly, Brandon, Erica, and Veronica a lot. I mostly talked to Molly in that band, but we were friends. I know that Julie was friends with Brandon so him going home was hard on her.

I released Jade for a second before hugging her again. The results show was my least favorite thing in the entire world. I loved getting through to the next week, but saying goodbye to a friend is so hard. I know that life will take them somewhere else and we'll lose touch, so it's hard to say goodbye.

"We've got each other's numbers. Besides, I'm planning on moving out here to continue my career. And I promise, you've got my vote. I love you girls a ton." Jade said, moving away from me and hugging Julie.

"We love you too and we'll keep in touch." Caitlin said as Jade and Julie hugged.

"Jay Cee El and One Step to the stage." Mark said. We were the remaining two acts in Simon's category.

"You girls go and have fun. Good luck, I hope you get in first place." Jade said as we started to make our way towards the stage.

Our final goodbye to her was said before we were ushered towards Simon, the boys of One Step waiting there with us. He gave us a sympathetic smile before we had to walk out on stage. I grabbed onto Caitlin's hand as we walked out onto the brightly lit stage. The remaining six contestants were now all out on stage. One Step and us, Evan, Chris, Denise, and Grace. We were all standing with our mentors as Khloe Kardashian took center stage.

A few seconds passed by before the screen above the camera lit up, saying that we were live. Khloe was quick to get her cue to talk. "And we're back. We've just had to say goodbye to Jade Loveridge and Escape; we'll miss them dearly. But tonight isn't over. The remaining six contestants are ready to be ranked, which will hopefully give us a clue on how the semi final will go." She said.

"Let's get to it then, the contestant in sixth place is... Grace Tenner. You've done great so far, but the votes in. You've got to bring you're a game next week." Khloe said. Grace hugged her mentor - Demi - before walking off the stage.

"In fifth place was have... Denise Richardson. You're in a good spot right now, but keep up the work and you'll get further." Khloe said. The younger girl hugged Demi before walking off stage. The four remaining acts moved a bit closer together and I grabbed Julie's hand, squeezing it in my hand.

The contestant in fourth was Chris Devins and then in third it was Evan. I was so glad that Evan was in third place. He deserved the world and more; especially after he called me cute a week or two back. Nothing has happened between the two of us yet, but I'm hoping. We really haven't talked to each other that much because we've been so busy, but maybe we could go on a date or something- that's if he likes me.

My thoughts broke apart when Caitlin squeezed me hand. "And now we've got the two acts that have been battling it out since the beginning for first place. They always come close to a tie, but One Step has always been just few votes ahead. Let's see how the votes went this week... and the act in first place is... Jay Cee El!" Khloe nearly screamed.
