What Makes You Different From the Rest (Patrick Quirky FanFic)

Chapter 5

~The Day of the X-Factor Audition~

*Jillian's P.O.V.*

I woke up super early to practice. I was so nervous. I decided to eat some breakfast to calm my nerves. Just a little after I finished breakfast, Patrick came down.

"Today's the big day!" he yelled.

"I know. I'm so scared. What if they all say no? What if I get booed off the stage? There's too many possibilities. Are you sure I should follow thought with this?"

"I'm positive. You're gonna be great!"

"Ok. If you say so."

"I know so."

"Ok," I said sheepishly.

~At the Audition~

We left super early just in case there was traffic. When we arrived, there was a HUGE line. We quickly got in line.

~In the Line~

I feel like we've been standing here for hours but it's only been 5 minutes. I guess I'm just really anxious to audition. Since we had a while more before we got to the front to register, I decided to befriend the boy in front of me.

"Hey! I'm Jillian. What's your name?" I inquired with a huge smile.

"Hi Jillian. My name is Trevor. Oh hey Patrick!"

"Hey Trevor. I haven't seen you since Playlist Live," Patrick replied.

"Wait. How do you know Patrick?" I asked very confused.

"Oh. I'm a YouTuber and I met Patrick at Playlist Live which a was like 3 months ago," Trevor said with a smile.

"Oh. That's makes sense. Wait. Now I remember you. I've seen a couple of your videos. You're a really good singer. Why are you auditioning? You're probably gonna get 4 yeses."

"Thank you. And I'm not that good. I'm sure you're better than I am."

"No. I'm horrible."

"She's lying," Patrick interrupted.

"No, I'm not," I retorted.

"Anyways... I'm sure you'll do great!"

"Thanks. Hey! We should do a duet sometime."

"Yea! I'll give you my number so you can call me when you want to collaborate."

"Ok. Here's mine."

We exchanged the pieces of paper.

*4 Hours Later*

We finally made it to the front of the line. I got all of my things. We proceeded to the main hall to wait for my name to be called. I was so nervous. Then my name was called.

~At the Stage~

Before I went on, I prepared myself. I took a deep breathe and went for it. I walked on stage. I faced the judges.

"Hello," Demi said with a smile.

"Hi," I replied sheepishly.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Jillian."

"Oh and how old are you?"

"I'm 16."

"What song are you going to be singing today?" Simon inquired in his monotonous voice.

"I'll be singing "On My Own" from Les Miserables."

"Ok, then. Whenever you're ready Jillian."

I started to sing. I put 110% into that performance. That was my shot to make it big. When I finished, the judges gave me a standing ovation-- including Simon.

"That was wonderful," Demi said. "And I think you brought out some emotion in Simon."

Then the audience laughed.

"That was amazing!" Brittany exclaimed.

"Thank you."

"Alright, lets vote," Simon said.

"It's a yes from me," Demi stated.

"It's a yes from me too," Brittany added.

"It's a yes from me."

"Well, Jillian, it looks like you've got 4 yeses," Simon stated giving me a small smile.

"Oh my gosh. Thank you so much!"

I felt like I was going to cry. Not tears of sadness but of happiness. I can't believe I got 4 yeses. This is incredible. When I got backstage, I ran up to Patrick and gave him a huge hug. I also thanked him for making try out for the X-Factor.
