Chapter 3: Meeting One Direction
Monica POV
We were coming out of the rehearsal room the ones that have a mirror on one side so we could see what we looked like as we sang. I walked into my room and started scrolling through twitter.
"Hey Monica how was it meeting Austin yesterday?"
"Do you like Austin back?"
"Why does Austin like that fat attention seeking whore with no talent?!"
"Ew I never knew Austin was interesed in fat fucked up peice of shit like you!"
"Are you excited to meet 1D, I heard you're a directioner?"
I responded to the 1D question.
"Of course I am! I've been a directioner since 2011! :)"
I decided to turn off my phone as the hate I would usually get would always make me physically wince like it literally 'hurt' me. I got up from my bed and stood in front of the mirror.
"Maybe they're right." I said staring at my thighs.
"Maybe I am fat. Maybe I don't have talent. Maybe I am an attention seeking whore." I said to myself tears stinging my eyes. I broke down in front of the mirror yelling at my reflection.
"Why?! Why can't I be pretty?! Why can't I be skinny?!" The door burst open. I didn't realize I was having a panic attack until the girls started trying to calm me down.
"Quick Halley get a cold wet towel!" Charlotte yelled. Halley sped out of the room.
"Shh it's okay it's okay." Brenda said as she rubbed circles on my back. And in that moment Halley came back with the towel and place on my forehead. I hated this being treated like a baby I pushed the feeling aside and let my panic attack get the best of me.
"They're right! They're all right!" I screamed as I scrambled on the floor letting the towel drop off of my forehead.
"Who Monica, Who?!" Halley asked concern in her voice.
"Them!" I said as I pointed to my phone. Brenda scrambled to my phone I forgot that she was still trying to comfort me. I saw her jaw tense as she unlocked my phone. She passed my phone around each girl taking a chance to read what was on the screen. Charlotte threw my phone back on my bed a little too harder than she intended as she looked back to see my phone fall of the other side of the bed.
"No they're not Monica! Don't believe them they're just trying to bring you down because your higher than them and they know they can't reach you! You're one of the most beautiful people I've ever met! I just don't understand how you can't believe you're beautiful i mean you're you!" Charlotte yelled as she paced back and forth in my small room. Halley and Brenda nodded. I didn't realize I had stopped crying until I felt the tears dry on my face and hiccuped a breath that I really needed. Charlotte kneeled down to our height and hugged us.
"Come on girls it's time to go and get ready." Brenda said as she wiped her face I didn't even know she was crying until now.
Brenda POV
I led the girls out of Monica's room. I was heart broken at the sight of seeing Monica cry especially since she was the youngest. The girls didn't know this but my old best friend committed suicide because just like Monica she thought she was fat. After that day I made a promised not only to myself but to my bestfriend that if I had a chance to make someone feel good about themselves that I'd take the chance.
"Hey, Bren, you alright?" Halley asked that's when I noticed I was crying.
" Yea, I'm fine just got a little emotional with what just happened." I said wiping away the tears. And almost on cue Simon walked in.
"Morning girls...you look a bit flustered whats wrong?" He asked a bit of concern in his voice. "Nothing, just really excited to see one direction." Monica piped up
"Oh, good then, I hope you become great friends I don't know if you know this but I mentored them in the UK and I hope you girls take their advice under consideration." And with that Simon left the room
"So are you guys excited to meet them because I know I am." Monica said with a smile her eyes were still puffy but were going back to normal.
"Yup!" The rest of us chorused. I was glad to see Monica smile again she truly was beautiful and on top of that she had an amazing personality. We walked to the living room and to our surprise one direction were sitting on the couch.
Monica POV
We entered the living room I froze as I saw one direction sitting on the couch. I felt myself grow pale and a bit light headed. I started to stumble as I walked towards them I felt embarrassed as I tripped on my own feet.
"Woah, easy there." Liam said as he gripped my waist and held my hand to stabilize me. He sweetly smiled and I smiled back. I made my way to the others giving them each a hug,my name, and my number the usual I did when I met someone new. I didn't see the other contestants in the room until I got to the last member which was Harry. Leslie and Jordan were sat on the small couch and the girls squished in next to them I widened my eyes as I realized there was no space left for me. So I decided I should stand.
Niall POV
I felt confidence run through me as I saw, Monica I think her name was, stand looking a little annoyed as she realized there was no space for her on the other couch.
"Monica...umm...if y-you want you can sit on my lap I mean...only if you wanted to." I quickly stuttered mentally face-palming myself on how I just said that. I felt the blood run up to my cheeks.
"It's alright you really don't have to," she began
"I don't want you to stand, I insist." I interuptted her. She awkwardly walked over to me I saw her cheeks were also slightly splashed with pink as she lightly sat on my lap. I tried to push away my teenage boy hormones as I felt her bum on my lap. I could tell she was trying to put as little weight as possible.
"It's alright, love, sit in which ever way is comfortable." I laughed. She immediately relaxed. I heard not only mine but her band mates as well giggle at our little awkward interaction.
*During The Live Show*
Monica POV
We finished performing and we now had to face the judges. The song we chose for today was a mix of Little Things and Beautiful.
"I think the performance was great but I think Monica deserves more solos." Demi admitted
"I agree after all in my opinion Monica has the best voice in the band." Britney added. I shook my head in disbelief and looked at my band mates they looked hurt just seeing them hurt killed me.
"The performance was really good but I also think Monica needed more solos instead of harmonizing so much." LA said
"What do you think about the comments so far, Brenda? Khloe asked pointing the microphone to Brenda as our microphones always get turned off as soon as we're done performing.
"Well, we tried our best and tried having some emotion in the performance but I guess they're right Monica didn't have enough solos this week and we're sorry about that," Brenda said pulling a fake smile. I couldn't believe this.
"What about you Monica what do you have to say about this?" Mario said as he pointed the microphone to me
"Well, first of all I sing the way I do to make these girls proud and I think we ALL have amazing voices cause I wouldn't be anywhere without these girls." I said with a bit of annoyance in my voice
"But Monica you have to realize ever band has a lead singer you're the one who fits that spot," Britney said.
I grabbed the microphone from Mario "Well THIS BAND doesn't have a lead singer cause THIS BAND isn't about who's better at anything this band is about 4 girls I mean 4 sisters trying to make their dreams come true and working hard to accomplish their goals and having as much fun as they can along their journey." I talked back more annoyed than before and pulled my band mates no I mean my sisters into a group hug. My speech was a waste as later on we were eliminated due to the votes but at least One Direction had an AMAZAYN performance.
