I laughed as I stood up, grabbing Caitlin's hand and pulling her up to her feet. We walked towards the stage and skipped up the stairs, crossing the stage until we got to Liz. Tony walked into the room, announcing his presence with a loud hi. The girls and I waved at him as he walked over, handing us each our microphones.

"Okay girls, this is going to be an easy performance. You're going to come out through the door, each going to different sides of the stage. I discussed this with both Simon and Gale and since Liz is starting off the song, you'll be coming down to stand in front of the judges. Julie, you go to the right and Caitlin you go to the left. Now, this is what will happen when Caitlin starts singing. You're going to back up and go to Caitlin's spot Liz, and Caitlin you're going to take Liz's. And then this is how it's going to go when the chorus hits..."

"I feel like I'm going to puke." Caitlin said as she sat down on one of the plastic chairs. We've been rehearsing for almost six hours now and we were finally done for today. We were now just gathering up our stuff before we took a car back to the hotel.

"I don't, I feel like my legs are jelly though." Liz said, fanning herself with her hand.

"Here, we got you girls some water from the vending machine." Liam said, handing us each a water bottle. When he got to me I smiled and thanked him. "Don't thank me, Niall wanted to do it for Liz." He whispered. I nodded a bit and looked over to where Liz was standing, drinking nearly the entire bottle in one sip.

"Ah, okay." I said, laughing slightly. Liam laughed and walked over to Zayn as I grabbed my phone and my purse. I walked over to Liz, poking her tummy as she continued to drink. She stepped back, choking a bit on her water. I couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

"I can't believe that you're wearing a crop top in front of them. To think you wouldn't even wear a bikini." I said, poking her stomach again. She smacked my hand away.

"Stop it. It's my exercise outfit. Now come on, I'm starving and I really want a slice of pizza." Liz said.

I nodded, looking back on everyone else. They were all having their own conversations and it took me a few seconds to get all their attentions. "Do you guys wanna go back to our hotel room and order some pizza and hang out or something?" I asked.

"Ooh, that sounds like fun." Caitlin said.

It was decided then and soon we were all piling into two separate cars. I ended up riding with Harry, Louis, Caitlin and Zayn. Liam, Niall, and Liz were in the other car that was following behind us. I was sitting in the back seat with Harry, laughing over the mistakes we made at the rehearsal. It was a lot of fun. I've never had the chance to talk to Harry one on one, but I was glad that I did.

<><>

"Let's play truth or dare." I said, setting the crust of my pizza down. We were all gathered around the hotel room, eating the pizza that we ordered. I was sitting on the bed with Liam, Liz and Caitlin were across from me. The rest of the boys were scattered around the room, looking for something to do. I wished that we could go outside the hotel and do something, but we 'aren't allowed outside with an escort' and the boys can't be seen in L.A. until after Wednesday night to keep it a surprise for the viewers of the show.

"No, last time I played that game I had to go skinny dipping." Liz said, whining. Everyone looked over at her and she looked around, blushing. "I didn't do it, but Natalie is so mean and I only had to do it in my bra and underwear don't worry." She mumbled.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Wait was that the video that Natalie wanted to show me?" I asked, vaguely remembering the brown haired girl telling me she wanted to show me a video.
