I could almost feel my teeth clicking together. I'm so scared right now. I'm on my way to the UK x-factor auditions of 2011. I'm 17 years at the time and my name is Dannielle. I'm very nervous. I'm a really outgoing fun person but I have a bad case of stage fright.
"Dannielle honey I can see you panicking. You'll be alright don't worry about it. don't think honey just sing. And sing with confidence" my mom told me.
I smiled looking down onto my phone placed in my lap. I clicked on the power button and typed in my password '1223' yeah that's my password. I read the messages my family and friends sent.
Uncle Mayson- good luck Dannielle!
Me-thanks
Cousin Kaylee-goodluck Elle!
Me-thanks
Bestfriend Kayla💕- good luck babes😘 I will see you real soon. Love you hun❤️
Me- thank you Kayla I love you😘

I clicked my phone off as my mom pulled into the drive of the x-factor building. We both got out as she took me and got me registered. I waited inline for a few hours walking around to meet some people.

**Ashton's p.o.v**
I finally registered for the x-factor. I'm really excited. I've been waiting in line forever and my mom said she'd hold my place if I wanted to talk to people.
I walked around for a while stopping on occasion to talk to a few people. I turned around and started walking again. I looked down and continued to walk on my way back to my mom. I felt instant impact on my body. I saw a girl fall down, fairly easy actually.
"I'm sorry are you okay?" I asked helping her up.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks. I'm Dannielle" she said extending a hand.
"I'm Ashton, are you competing?" I asked her.
"Yeah I'm singing so sick by neyo" she told me. That's my favorite song.
"That's my favorite song!! I'm singing as well, I'm singing isn't she lovely by Stevie wonder" I told her.
"Wow that's really cool ! your cool" she said.
"Thanks you to! we should keep in touch! well obviously were gonna see more if we both make it through but I mean when it ends, we should still...do U want my number?" I asked rambling like an idiot.
"Of course! "She typed the password of her phone and I typed my contact. I handed her back the phone and she handed me mine.
"Well I should probably get back to my mom. bye Ashton" she smiled
"Bye Dannielle goodluck" I said an with that we both parted and headed into the building.

*** Dannielle's p.o.v ***
I made my way into the building saying bye to my mom as she disappeared to her seat. I got my number and waited in line. '6' was my number.
I looked down the row of people and noticed Ashton was number '8' I waved at him and focused on the stage. He got my attention...I was next. He gave me a thumbs up and I walked out.
"Hello" judge Simon said.
"Hello" I answered
"What's your name?" Tulisa asked.
"Dannielle Bradley" I said
"And what will u be singing?"
"So sick by neyo" I answered.
"Okay when ever your ready" simon said.
I stepped back on the x. I cleared my throat and began.
" Gotta Chang my answering machine now that I'm alone, cause right now it says that we can't come to the phone and I know it makes now sense cause you walked out the door but it's the only way I hear your voice anymore" I sang. I looked up at the judges.
"Wow that was excellent. How old are you?" Tulisa asked
"17" I answered
"Wow!" Well let's do the voting. I say yes" Tulisa said.
"Yes" Louie said.
"Dannielle you've got 3 yeses" Simon said. I beamed happily , thanked them and walked off stage.

**Ashtons p.o.v**
Dannielle's performance was amazing she's a great singer. I watched number sevens performance and I waited in line and was ready to go.
I waltzed onto stage a lot of girls screaming. I guess I'm good looking i dont know really.
"Hello what's your name?" Tulisa asked
"Ashton Irwin" I said
"Well why are u here tonight?" Simon asked.
"I'm gonna sing isn't she lovely by Stevie wonder." I said.
"Okay whenever you ready"
I stepped back and sang.
"Isn't she lovely isn't she wonderful isn't she precious less than one minute old. And who would've thought through love we'd be making one as lovely as she but isn't she lovely made from love" I sang.
Everyone clapped and the judged voted
"Yes" Louie said
"Absolutely yes" Tulisa said
"Yes your through" Simon said.
I smiled and thanked them and walked off stage.
Today was exciting. I can't wait to message Dannielle and talk to her later, I'm just sad that my family has to fly back and watch on tv.
I guess it's all okay well find out tomorrow
