Undying love

Chapter 1

Demi's POV
I sighed, leaning back in my chair. As much as I was glad for my recovery and people caring enough to put me in a sober house, it became really lonely at times. No phone, no contact with the outside world apart from my flatmates. I got up and dressed for the day. Today was the day that I started judging at X factor. I could feel my mental health getting the better of me as I was so anxious and couldn't help but think that I wouldn't be good enough. I know my team were wary of how this job would take its toll on me, crushing peoples dreams is not the easiest thing to do.

Once I was dressed I got into my car and drove to the studios. I snuck in the back door hoping to avoid all the cameras. I kept my head down as I walked into the break room, the talent in this room was so vast and I really wasn't worthy to be in this team. I put my bag down and heard a gasp, Britney Spears came running round the corner to hug me. I hugged her back as she said "it's so nice to finally meet you". I was amazed that Britney thought that it would be nice to meet me, it put me at ease as I strolled off to meet L.A.

We were just getting to know eachother when all of a sudden Simon Cowell came round the corner. I felt butterflies in my stomach as he stretched out his hand for me to shake. I declined the offer and hugged him instead.

Simon's POV
I cursed myself for running late on the first day. The traffic was a nightmare, not aided by my little to no sleep last night which resulted in me missing my alarm. I entered the judges room, slightly groggy from last night when all of a sudden I stopped, my breath caught in my throat as my eyes fixated on the new presence in the room. I quickly regained my composure and went over to join everyone.

"You must be Demi" I exclaimed as I stretched my arm out. I was slightly hurt by her facial expression when she looked at my hand. As I started to lower it I felt two arms wrap around me instead. I looked down to see the blonde hair cascading over my chest. I smiled as she replied "it's such a pleasure to finally meet you Simon".

I could feel my heart racing as she let go. I needed to regain my composure, as I went and said hi to Britney and L.A., I couldn't get Demi out of my mind.

Demi's POV
I've no clue what I felt or why I felt it but there was definitely a spark there when we hugged. I tried to push it to the back of my mind as we went backstage. I told Simon about my insecurities as we were waiting.

"I mean the worst thing that can happen Demi is you come every single day, make a complete fool of yourself and your career is over"

I felt myself smirk at his sarcasm "Okay, cool... awesome thanks". It didn't help my nerves at all. Just before he retaliated, the producers came in and told us that we had to make our way to the panel.

Britney and I were walking together just getting to know eachother a bit better when Simon interrupted

"Just so you know, there's going to be a lot of screaming for me"

To show him my fight I snapped back "They're just gonna be so impressed by your new outfit". He laughed speechless as he flashed me his beautiful smile. It was at that moment I knew everything was gonna be just fine.
