HOME IN A PERSON.

"Make me proud,you dumb fuck,"

The words of her best friend echoed in her head and she closed her eyes,the sounds of her peers taking over her thoughts. She had failed miserably in the main challenge and ever since then,she had been completely shaken up. She was doing good so far in this competition and she went with what her gut told her. All eyes were on her and silence filled the game room when she stumbled on her answers. It was the most embarrassing thing she had experienced.
She snapped out of her thoughts as she began to start on her makeup for the day. From the corner of her eyes, she could see the cameras focusing on her and she let out a sigh. She could possibly be leaving the competition today and that left a gut wrenching feeling in her. The blonde tied her hair in a low ponytail and put a small smile on her face as her competitors joked about the day. She didn't feel right at all still and stared at the pictures in front of her as she covered her freckled cheeks in foundation.
"Who's that?" The brunette named Hayley asked, pointing over to her station. Amelia smiled immediately looking at the two pictures of her best friend. The first one,them wrapped into each other on Sloan's floor after her birthday party obviously wasted and the other photograph contained the two blondes laughing in their dressing room, Amelia could remember that one very well. The two teasing Jarvis with playful songs and couldn't stop laughing into each other's shoulders. "That's Dallas. He's my best friend. He's the one who pushed me to cone here in the first place," She said,a smile still remained on her face until she remembered the events taken place. God, she did not want to leave. She worked too hard.
The producers agged her on to continue on the subject since this would clearly be an episode around her mess up. She began to work on her eyeshadow as she talked,"He's in a pretty well known band,Smoking Roses. I booked them one of their first gigs. I miss those idiots a lot," She shook her head to avoid tears falling down.
"I just really can't go home today. I know I fucked up but.. I need to do this. I can be better than that, I am better than that." She felt a hand squeeze on her shoulder and gave a reassuring nod to her competitors. She remained quiet until it was time to
go on stage.

Amelia listened to the judge's critiques intently and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. It was hard to remember cameras were still on her and she needed to give herself some dignity. "Where's the Amelia that walked in with confidence and a smile that lit up the room? We want her back here," Judge Anderson explained staring at the blonde and the blonde sniffled, looking at the judges. "I'm sorry, I really am. I thought this would be for me." She said with a quiet voice until sitting up straighter,"Walking in, I had the confidence with my backbone of people telling me I'd do great and then I did so bad and ... it just fucking sucks" She let out a watery smile and shook her head, wiping her tears to not ruin her makeup. "I'm just so scared, but I won't do it again. I keep getting in my head," She crossed her legs and looked down at her heels.
"We just want our Amelia back in this competition. You have so much potential and you got this. Keep going kid," Judge Anderson spoke before it moved to the confessional interview, a behind the scenes Amelia showing up on the screen with her blonde hair curled, but little makeup as she had a tissue wiping her tears. "Yeah, it's just hard being in this competition so long and not being able to talk to who got you here in the first place. My best friend, Dallas, really pushed me to be bere and win this for him. I don't want to disappoint him, or any of those kids.Disappointing them is one of my worst fears I think, but remembering I'm doing this for them is getting me through this and I'll win for them. I want to prove to everyone that I deserve to be here. Again, I just don't want to go being disappointing to them or my family,"
Present
Amelia had her eyes locked onto the screen until she couldn't take it anymore. She closed her eyes and felt fingers lace with hers as it went to commercial. "I know, that was stupid to say," She laughed a little, opening her eyes to see the other blonde with tears in his own eyes. "You won't disappoint me ever you're right it was stupid," He said with a playful smile and she nudged him with her elbow before being pulled into a hug. "But if I find out you go home this episode, I will not be sharing the rest of these oreos," He joked, causing her to roll her eyes and pull away. She sniffled and looked back at the screen," I don't want to go into it that much, but being without you for months really fucking sucked. I'm never leaving again that was absolute hell but I totally hate you idiot," She leaned into him with her head on his shoulder watching the show again.

"Amelia Watson,you stay" The main judge spoke and the screen flashed to the blonde who still had tear tracks down her face with shock written all over her face and a smile that grew. She hugged her other component and left the stage.

Amelia laughed slightly as Dallas rose up from his seat at the announcement that she already knew and pulled her up into a big hug. "I'm so fucking proud of you. You'll never disappoint me you better shut up," He mumbled into her shoulder and she smiled softly,"I know"
She glanced at her phone as it dinged with many messages from the band and her friends. She had the biggest support system and she would never forget it.
