Meant to be (Harry Styles Love Story)

Chapter 10

When my group of people was done singing we were called back on to see who got to stay. We were in one long line and my heart started to race as they called names out. More people stepped forward then back. I wasn’t called and I didn’t know if that was good or bad. I prayed that I would be safe but it was anybody's guess.

"Front line, sorry but you're going home." I silently thanked the heavens and looked at who was leaving. I was sad to see Ted being one of them.

"Take well mate." He said to me as he exited the stage. I had no clue what was going to happen next and I was terrified. By the end of the day 300 were eliminated and there was still more to come by the end of the week. We were dismissed and we all headed back to our rooms. Some people went out to eat or went to other rooms to hang out. I was too tired to interact with others so I called it a night. I tried calling Victoria but she didn’t pick up. I really wanted to hear her voice now more than ever. I needed her to tell me everything was going to be fine and that there's nothing to worry about.

Victoria's P.O.V

Ali and Katie couldn’t hang out when I got back from the airport so I called Logan and Kyle instead. They were together (like always) and said they'd be over as soon as possible. It's not weird having them over since they're like brothers to me. I sat in the teen zone as my parents would call it and just watched some TV until they both arrived.

"OKAY WE'RE HERE!" I heard Kyle shout.

"In here!" I responded. The two of them walked in panting a little bit.

"What were you guys doing?" I asked.

"We sort of ran over." Logan panted.

"Why?" I said slowly.

"Exercise." Kyle said. I nodded slowly and watched them collapsed on the couch.

"So how was the airport?" Logan said smiling.

"Fine I guess." I said looking away.

"Doesn’t sound fine." He said. I shrugged.

"How can it be? I don't know what'll happen." I said. Kyle, Logan, Ali, and Katie, and my parents, are the only ones I told about Harry trying out for X Factor.

"It'll be fine, you'll see." He assured me. I agreed and slapped my hands on my lap.

"So what do you guys want to do?" I asked.

"Nothing involving any more movement." Kyle ordered.

"Take out it is then." I grabbed the home phone and dialed the closest pizzeria and ordered a delivery. About 15 minutes later the doorbell rang and I got up to answer it. I opened the door and a handsome teen about my age smiled at me.

"Victoria Bentley?" He said reading the order slip.

"Yep that's me." I said. He handed me the pizza box and bag of fries I ordered and I paid him.

"Nice house you got here." He stated.

"Um thanks." I politely said. I closed the door and shook my head ignoring what just happened and walked back to where the guys were.

"Here you go." I said dropping the food on the coffee table.

"Uh sodas?" Logan said with a stupid face. I rolled my eyes and headed into the kitchen and brought back three 2 liter bottles of Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Sprite. We dug into the food and talked and watched TV the whole time. I missed 'guys' night' as Kyle put it. Before I met Ali and Katie, it would just be the three of us and we had so much fun. Not that the girls don't mean anything to me but they just didn’t complain and whine as much.

"It's midnight already?" I said in total shock. They looked up at the clock that was hung up on the wall.

"We got to get going." Logan said standing up and wiping his hands on his khakis.

"Yeah, our mums are gonna want to know where we are." Kyle added. I walked them to the front door and hugged them goodbye.

"We have to do this again soon." I said hugging Logan.

"We will. Next Friday?" He said to me.

"Sure." I giggled. I watched them until they got to the sidewalk before closing the door. I straightened up the teen zone and threw all the trash out and then checked my phone. One missed call from Harry. Shoot. I redialed the number and waited patiently while it rang.

"Hello?" A tired voice answered.

"Hi babe." I said softly.

"I tried calling you earlier." He said. I felt kind of bad in a way.

"I know, Kyle and Logan came over and we lost track of time. My phone was no where near me. Sorry." I apologized.

"It's okay." He said.

"So how was it?" I asked kind of nervous.

"Did you watch the show?" He asked.

"No." I said.

"300 out of 500 were eliminated in the first day! Including Ted." His voice sounded a bit shaky.

"Wow. Are you still in?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm still in. Tomorrow is the last day though and it's anybody's game now." He said.

"You'll make it don’t worry." I coached.

"Thanks."

"I'm gonna go to bed. Love you." I never said that to him before and I meant it.

"I love you too, goodnight." I hung up and got ready for bed. I wonder if they'll keep him or not.
