Fifty Three // First...

My mouth dropped open for a split second before I jumped up and down in my purple heels, turning to Caitlin and Julie. We all wrapped our arms around each other and continued to jump around and squeal in excitement. Simon then stepped in and hugged the three of us. Happy tears filled my eyes as our group hug broke apart.

The boys from One Step appeared out of nowhere and more hugs were passed around. Of course Marty immediately went to Caitlin, being that they were now dating. She had told him last night that she would be his girlfriend. I think it's adorable. I'm glad that Caitlin is happy with him. Besides, Marty is a great guy and they seem perfect together.

Beck hugged me tightly, yelling congratulations over the screaming audience. I pulled away from the hug and smiled thankfully at him before we were all ushered off the stage. I could still hear Khloe announcing next week's theme and what not as we walked off stage and congratulations were thrown at us from everyone around the room.

"I can't believe that we are ranked first." I shook my head in disbelief.

"I know, it's so fucking weird. But ah, we are." Caitlin squealed. I laughed and squeezed her hand again.

"It's so crazy. We are going into the semi final in first place. Our dream is coming true..."

"Hi Simon, how are you?" Julie asked Simon the following morning. The girls and I were up bright and early the morning after the results show to have a meeting with Simon. It wasn't the first meeting we've had and I'm praying that it won't be the last. I'm not sure what this meeting is about if I'm being totally honest, but I'm sure that it couldn't be too bad.

"I'm doing pretty good, a little tired, but that's expected. How are you girls doing this morning?" Simon asked, his British accent so deep and defined.

"We're good," Julie answered, taking her leader role. "A little nervous for what you wanted to talk about..." She said.

Simon laughed. "Always so eager. So as you know this week's performance is critical. However your past performances give me enough reason to think that you three will do a great job. Anyway, if you three girls make it to the duets then you will be working with someone famous, as you already know." Simon said.

"What song will we be doing?" Liz asked.

"It's a new song, it's just been released. I'm sure you've heard it though. Actually the artist made a personal request to sing with you girls." Simon said, dragging it out. He knew what he was doing. If he told us the name of the song we'd be able to guess who we were singing with. So Simon wanted to drag it out as long as he could.

"Just tell us already." I laughed.

"Well ladies, you'll be working with a well known British/Irish boyband that goes by the name of One Direction." Simon said, holding back a smile. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. Julie and Caitlin both looked over at me as I stared at Simon.

"Wait so... they asked to sing with us? Who?" Julie asked. I was still speechless.

"Liam did actually, I was talking to him about finding a celebrity to come and sing and he offered. I was originally going to ask Katy Perry to sing with you, but I thought that having two bands on there would be a good choice. Is Liz alright?" Simon said.

"Yeah, she's fine. She's just a huge fan of One Direction and is probably going to shit herself." Caitlin laughed.

"Alright, well then I'm sure she's excited. But we need to discuss the show on Wednesday..."

I wasn't really paying much attention to what Simon was saying after that. All I could think about is how if it all goes well in one week from now we could be working with my favorite artist. I'm not sure what song we'd be singing because Simon never said. Although I have a feeling that it's Live While We're Young, the song that they just released.

Simon finished up talking after another few minutes and sent us on our way. We grabbed our belongings and then left the room. None of us said anything as we walked towards the exit. We needed to get back to the hotel for to hang out and for tomorrow because we've got to wake up semi early tomorrow to work with Gale and the song.

"Oh my God," I finally said, "I'm going to be meeting One Direction!"
