I Spy One Direction

Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Just my Luck

Oh no, no, no, no and totally no.

I don't know what Niall is thinking yet, but i already have the slightest idea of what it was. I'm just hoping that i was wrong.

"I was just thinking that......" Niall said still staring at me, and i can feel everyone in the room was too. "Maybe, just maybe..." Niall continued.

"Oh just spit it out lad!" Louis shouted, obviously being impatient. "Fine. I was just thinking that maybe Katy can, you know do it. After all, the girl can sing." Niall suggest with a chuckle, and it was probably because of the horror expression that's on my face.

"You're right. I think she can do it." Liam agreed. "No. No. No. No. No. And more no." I said with such authority that they all just stared at me.

"Oh come on, Katy. Just once. Do it for us. Please? The success of this show depends in your hands." Harry said.

"I don't think that's entirely true. I'm not doing it." I answered.

"Oh you will." And we all turned around to see Simon walking towards us. "You can sing, Katy and you're good at it. You can do it, and that is an order from a man who is giving your pay check." Simon said.

Now that he mentioned that i guess i can't give anymore excuses. "Fine. I can play the piano. But all i can sing are covers."

"That's good enough. 2 songs, Katy. After that the boys will appear for their opening number." Sam said from behind me.

"And what are your song choices?" Simon asked. "Uhhhmmm... Ready or not by Bridget Mendler and You and I by Ingrid Michaelson. I'll need someone to play the guitar for me though." I answered.

"Don't worry about that i'm sure we could do something about it. But for now, you better go to make up and wardrobe, we don't want you to go up on stage looking like that. Ms. Morgan, i believe this is your time to shine." Simon said as he pushed me out the door with Sam beside me.

**********

After hair and make up, it took me a while to get into wardrobe, since my performance wasn't expected the stylists had to run to some nearby stores and get me some clothes, and when they returned they brought a lot of clothes and shoes, most of them are the same just in different sizes, they were too much in a hurry that they forgot to take my size.

The clothes they asked me to wear was mostly black, pink and white. No other colors, to tell you frankly i look like an another Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato twin. I look like pop rock princess, which i totally liked. However i don't think it fits with my song choices.

I was sitting in my dressing room, alone, staring at the mirror trying to see if this girl in front of me is really me.

Then there was a knock on the door. "Come in." I said. The door flew open and Sam went inside and said, "Katy, go to stage left, you're on in 15 minutes. The piano's already on the stage so you don't need to worry about carrying it. And besides, Simon kinda went big for it and asked for a baby grand."

"Thanks, Sam. I'll be there in a minute." I answered, she just nodded and started to walk towards the door, and before closing the door, she said "Oh and you look beautiful. Don't be nervous and just have some fun." And closed the door.

I took a couple more deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves, then i stood up and went for the door.

**********

I was standing at the stage left still taking deep breaths when i felt arms around me, hugging me from behind. I turned my head to see Zayn.

"Ugh, Zayn? Can we not do this here? I mean there are a lot staff here and they might get the wrong idea." I said.

"Don't worry Katy. Everyone here knows that you're like one of our closest friend. No one will think otherwise or even more." He said as he smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek. And he let me go. I turned around to face him, he took my hands.

"You must be nervous." Zayn said with a chuckle.

"Nerve wracking, actually. I somehow think i can't do this." I said looking down. I wasn't lying, this is something very new to me, singing in front of thousands and thousands of people. Gosh. It's like a nightmare.

"Listen, when you're stage, just think -"

"That the audience are just wearing their underwear. What a cliche advice Zayn. Totally unique of you." I said with a laugh.

"No. I wasn't going to say that. What i was about to say was, just think that the audience, the people who are watching you are the people you love. That way you'll be at ease." Zayn said with a smile. And i have to admit that was a pretty good advice.

"Thanks -"

And he did something i wasn't prepared for. He pulled me towards him, his lips on mine.

When he pulled away, he said, "Good luck!" As he waved at me smiling and walked away. I was totally stunned, it was as if i was frozen like ice. And it wasn't until Sam shouted, "15 seconds, Katy!"
