Before I start this chapter I want you to know that 1) I changed Harmony's name to Melody, because I didn't think it was right to have her have the same name as her band. 2) This is the time when Liam and Danielle were still together. 3) I am very aware of the fact the Little Mix and One Direction competed last year/the year before that. Please ignore that, since it's a Fan Fiction, and anything can happen in one of those.
I made this chapter full of Flashbacks, because I didn't want to write the hole chapter about Bootcamp, Liveshows, video Diaries, and more. I mean that would take a whole 10 pages or less.
To help NOT make them have a Flashback of everything, I...... Well you can read to find out.
Chapter One: Flashbacks of the Past
Melody Harris
"What is something you will never forget in your X Factor days?" The interviewer questioned us. We were currently on a radio interview, answering questions that our fans asked. This is actually our first radio interview..... Or radio anything of that matter.
They were going to release or new song 'I Knew You Were Trouble' and she was asking us questions, before it airs. (I know it's a Taylor Swift Song, but please ignore that fact also)
"Actually, mine is when we sang with Cher Lloyd. That moment was so surreal for me." I answered, seeing the other girls nod.
Flashback
"Hello girls, I'm going to be singing with you." A familiar accent called out from the front door. I turned to see Cher Lloyd standing there, causing me to jump and scream. Along with the other girls of course.
"I can't believe that Cher Lloyd is going to sing a song with us!" Louise called out. I walked over to Cher giving her a gigantic hug.
"I told you I won't let you don't." I said, causing her to chuckled.
"Thank you for keeping that promise," She replied. The other girls came around giving her a gigantic hug. This is going to be a great performance.

Flashback Over
"I remember texting on the new phone I got for being in the final -In Fact all the contestants did- and then Cher just came through the doors stating that she was singing with us." I explained, looking at the girls.
"And it was weird, because I sang one of her songs, and she was guest judging for Melody, while SHE sang 'Love Me For Me'." Julia chuckled, looking at me. Lilian gave her a look, "Oh yeah and Lilian sang 'Grow Up' which you need to you big baby."
"Do not," Lilian argued, "Melody does."
I looked at them, mouth wide. "True." I agreed, shrugging my shoulders.
The interviewer looked at us funny and shook her head. "Bands these days."
Cher Lewis
"Cher what about you what was your favorite moment on the X Factor?" Julia asked, glancing at me. I thought for a moment before answering.
"When we went back home to my place, and all those boys- I mean fans- crowded around us, asking for autographs. It was nice having them care." I answered, smiling lke an idiot remembering how my crush asked me for a photo.
Flashback
I walked out of the car, into the familiar town I remember from before. Only this time, so many people gathered, cheering my name. "Cher! Cher! Cher over here!" A familiar male voice called out.
I turned my head quickly to the sound. There standing a few feet away from me was Jimmy Patterson. The most popular guy in my school, and the most trusted boy too.
"Jimmy?" I said in more of a question. He came closer to me, right when someone grabbed my arm.
"Cher, come on, we need to this shiz." Julia stated, pulling me towards the gigantic stage. Jimmy grabbed my hand, pulling me back.
"No!" Jimmy protested. I gave him a sad smile, kissing his cheek, and let Julia drag me towards the stage.

Flashback Over
"There were so many people there." I sighed, still smiling at the memory.
"Cher, we know there's a guy. You cheeky woman." Louise huffed, shaking her head in disappointment. Melody laughed at her words.
"There's always a guy." I commented, looking at the camera. I winked, and gave my sweet wave.
"Flirting with the camera, that's an all time low." Louise stated. I shrugged, that's what I do.
Louise Johnson
After the interview we headed straight to the car, ready for a long a sleepfull night. Melody took out a camera and started recording, "Hi everyone, this is Video Diary Day 18." She greeted.
She keeps on doing this for the fans, I'm not argueing, it's fun. It reminds me of when we did Video Diaries for the X Factor.
Flashing Back To Her Memory......
"Hi I'm Louise," I introduced myself to the camera. "And This is video Diary-"
"Louise, we need to introduce ourselves too." Lilian interrupted, I faked a sigh and turned to my left so I was facing her.
"Yeah, I'm in the band too!" Cher added, making me turn around to face her. I turned parralel to see that Melody was laughing. Julia looked serious, like I had done a crime.
"Fine, This is Lilian, the girl that rudely interrupted my speaking. The girl with the curly locks behind me, is none other than Cher Lewis. Next to her is Melody, and all the way on top, acting like the leader, but surely is, Julia Robinson." I sighed, looking at the camera. I leaned in whispering, "I'm Louise."
"This is our first Video Diary." Cher cheered. I glared at her, accusing her of stealing my part. "And we shall answer-"
"Your Fan Questions, thank you Cher for that wonderful intro." I said, in a weird announcer voice. "Now M underscore Harmony asked, what is your title?"
"I'm The smart one, as I've been told." Julia sighed, looking at the camera before giving Melody a light shove. "Melody is the adorable, innocent one."
At the word innocent Melody erupted into a fit of giggles. It's obvious that wasn't true. She got away with a lo of things, but is still accused of being innocent.
"Lilian is like Zayn. She's very vain." I stated, pointing at Lilian who just shrugged. I put my hands up and pointed behind me to Cher, "This curly haired girl is the flirt."
I couldn't see her, but I knew she winked at the camera. Of course, the flirt takes over control. "I, as everyone knows, is the leader." I added. Melody let out a laugh.
"Whatever, Lou, whatever." Cher chuckled, patting my head. I held in my laugh, and nodded meaningfully.

FFlashbackkkk Overrrrr
"Our first single just got released a couple of minutes ago-"
"Did you remember to introduce us, Mel?" I asked, looking at the blonde.
"Oh yea, sorry. We are Mixed Harmony. Now where was I?" She thought back to a few seconds ago.
"You were in the car, where you're going to introduce us." I stated, causing her to look back at me. You can see in her face that she wants to laugh so badly.
"And I did, didn't I?" She questioned, "This your fault for teaching me how to sass."
"Why are you blaming me? I hardly act sassy in front of any of you." I argued. Everyone rolled their eyes. "Fine, be that way. Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful day, because we did. If you didn't......... That's sad."
Lilian Malik
"And we hope you feel betta," I added, smiling widely at the camera. Melody grinned and turned the camera so it was facing us, and not her.
"We shall now answer your fan questions." Melody stated, taking her 'Fan Phone out'.
She has this phone, just for the fans. She has a fake twitter, pretending to be a fangirl, She has a fake Facebok account pretending to be someone else, and most of all she has all of the numbers fans give her during signings.
She got it from a fan. I remember the first time a fan gave me something. It was so cool. It was the very first time I signed an autograph, hug someone I don't know, and take a photo with a random...... Fan. (I used the word FAN a lot in this)
Flashback
I walked out the X Factor house, heading out to buy some groceries for the contestants. I now knew exactly what they want.
"Lilian! Lilian, can I have your autograph?" A short, brunette asked, handing me a piece of paper.
I smiled warmly, and signed my name. Zayn sined a photo of us before (Weird, I know) and he told me that I should sign it also. This is how I know how to sign stuff.
"Can I have a photo of you?" She asked, I nodded, posing. She chuckled, "I meant with me silly."
"I knew that," I giggled, putting an arm around her shoulder. I made peace signs with my hand, and so did she. "Vas Happenin!?"
"Vas Happenin?!" She called out to the camera. She hugged me before sayig bye and walking away.
I'm not sure if I'm going to get use to that. Hope the girls do, maybe not Melody since she's claustrophobic and all.

FFlashingg Back To Reality
"June, from...... Nashville asked, how do you think you're going to handle the new fame?" She read out loud.
"We juist are going to try and stay grounded-" Julia started, but got cut off by Louise.
"And by grounded she means keeping our inner normality, not like the grounding your mom does to you when your bad." Louise explained, looking smug at her reason.
Julia, and everyone else, grinned at her statement, "Yea. That."
Julia Robinson (Saved the most important Flashback for the end)
"Let's sing." Cher stated, looking around the car for confirmation. We shrugged, agreeing to her command.
"Wha song?" Melody asked, looking at me. I thought for a moment before blurting out.
"Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera," I said, making the girls go quiet. Suddenly I started remembering The Judges houses, and how we sang that song.
FLASHback
I walked up in front of Simon, and Usher (I didn't know who to put so let's just go with Usher) with the girls right behind me.
Lilian to my right, Cher to my left. Melody next to Lilian, and Louise next to Cher. We were going to sing the song that means so much to all of us.
"Hi girls, how are you today?" Simon asked. I smiled, as Cher answered with a simple 'Fine'.
Simon nodded, telling us that we could start. I took a deep breath raising the microphone close to my mouth.
"Don't look at me" Cher said, putting as much emotion in her voice.
"Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it's hard to breathe" I sang, my voice coming of sweet, but powerful.
"Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed" Chet sang, her voice giving out the emotion.
"I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no
So don't you bring me down today" We all sang.
"To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom" Melody sang, fragile girl, powerful voice.
"Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is" Louise sang, in the same, powerful tone Melody had.
"You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today..." We all sang in Harmony.
"No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes"
"And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side"
"We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today"
"Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah
Don't you bring me down ooh... today" Lilian finished, power clear in her voice. This girl has learned so much from her cousin.
Simon looked at with a clear smirk on his lips. I looked at Usher who looked shocked.
"Thank you," Simon thanked, leaving us with no comment, as he should. We nodded our heads, thanking him also.
We walked out of the beach house and hugged each other. "That was amazing." Melody commented, "I hope we make it through."
"I know we'll make it through.'" Louise said a slight smirk on her mouth. "Just watch."
A couple of moments after the rest of the groups finished we were called to meet Simon. (I forgot if it was days, or just minutes, because I haven't watched X Factor in a long while. So if I'm wrong please correct me)
"Girls, how are you feeling?" He asked. I sighed.
"Nervous," We all said in unison.
He sighed, disappointment clear in his voice. My heart dropped at the sound, we're not going to make it in.
I looked down at the floor not making eye contact with him. "You're going to have to get use to me. Because you're going through." He informed us.
I snapped my head up, jaw dropping in shock. We're what? We made it through! I could feel the tears roll down my cheeks as Melody jumped up for joy, joining the group hug, before running to Simon hugging him.
The rest of us ran to him also, hugging, and thanking him. "You won't regret it." I told him. His face turned towards me and smiled.
"Of course I won't." Was the last thing he said before we ran out to call our parents.
This is going to be a memorable year.
Flashhhing Backkk TOooo Realittyyyy
We sang the song, feeling the same power and emotion we had during the judges houses. This was different though.
This wasn't a competition for a spot in a singing competition. This wasn't intense pressure we feel everyday. This was for the fans.
A/N- Hope you liked this one.
After this chapter, I'm going to actually make them interact with famous peoplee, and fans. One Direction, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran, and Cher Lloyd are coming up.
To The right I believe is Cher Lewis. The girl version of Mr. Harry Styles.
