One Big Dream (On Hold)

Judge's House

Chapter 4: Judge's House

Isabel's P.O.V.

Three days from now we will be performing in front of one of the four judges to move onto live shows. I'm so excited to be practicing my first song with the boy's. I woke up this morning and met them in the lobby with my blueberry muffin and orange juice.

When I finished my last bite I asked, "Hey what is the plan?"

Liam said that we had to go to the lobby and get instructions then we go pick a song and rehearse it then perform it at our judge’s house in three days.

"Oh ok, well what should our song be?" I asked just to fill time.

The boy's shot out some bad ideas then I said hey why don't we do a Natalie Imbruglia song. They all just stared at me blankly. I just chuckled, "Oh my you guys don't even know who she is do you?"

They all chimed together, "Nope." Then shot out other ideas. A few moments later the man at the front desk called everyone from the X-Factor and told us to make a formal line to get our instructions.

Fifteen minutes has passed and we were finally up front. The man gave us a DVD and a paper. After that we all followed Harry back up to his room and we watched the DVD.

It explained how we needed to come up with a song and a band name. Our judge’s house we will be performing at would be Simon Cowell's. I heard that and my heart dropped. This is the man who isn't afraid to rip you a new one, this is that man who can turn your career around, this is the only man in music that I fear.

My thoughts were interrupted when the DVD ended and the boy's were trying to get my attention to ask about band name Ideas. I told them I would leave that up to them if they left the song choice up to me. They agreed.

Twenty minutes later I had it, I knew what song we were going to sing. I was off in my own world during those twenty minutes. I tend to go off a lot because of what I was left with after cancer recovery.  But whatever. So I thought hard, I wrote down many song names and artists then scratched off the ones I knew wouldn't hit my voice well. I know that makes me sound like I want it to be all about me but it's really not. People have to understand it’s easy for the same gender to harmonize but when you throw a different gender in there it's a little more difficult.

I turned and looked at the boy's. "Hey I have the perfect song."

"Great and we have the band name!" Liam said.

"Sweet, what’s the name?"

"It’s One Direction...how does that sound? Does it have a nice ring?" Harry asked me.

"Yea it does I like it."

"Well what’s the song name? Louis asked.

"Oh right." I laughed. "Were going to sing a song called Torn. Want to listen to it?"

"Sure." All their voices rang together again.

I played the song for them. Judging by their faces I couldn't really tell what they thought of it...if they liked it or hated it.

"We should get practicing...Who's going to sing what part?" Zayn preached.

They all looked at me. "You seem to know how to run things. You think of the plan." Louis stated. "Here we will also leave you to think and we won’t distract you." The boys all got up and left. They managed to close the door before I was able to say anything.

The Boy's P.O.V.

Niall: "Look I'm sorry but I'm not sure about Isabel in our group. I mean shouldn't it be a boy band?"
