Seven Words
Chapter One
I was at the place. The greatest place in this hellhole of a world. The audition place. For X-Factor USA. I walked right in. Ready for the disappointment. I know I’m not going to make it through. Kirsten, relax. You’re here to perform. Not to win. “Oh, Kristen, you’re late. Make it to the stage now.” I heard. I got extremely annoyed. That person just called me Kristen. I was cut from my thoughts as people started to shove me to the door that had a big sign over it ‘STAGE’. Oh well that’s helpful. I walked in, only to be shoved again, this time, pushing me on the stage. Causing me to stumble out and fall. “Must be a Demi fan.” I heard Simon say. “Hey, you never know!” I heard Demi defend herself. Calm down, Kirsten. She’s just a person. Like you. No need to fangirl into the microphone. “Hi.” I said, standing up. “Hello! What’s your name?” Kelly asked. “Kirsten. Kirsten Waldron.” I said. “How old are you?” Paulina asked. “Eighteen. As of today.” I said. “It’s your birthday?” Demi asked. I nodded. Simon seemed to have an idea. “Well, go!” Kelly said, enthusiastically. “Yeah. I used to build you up, to watch you tear me down. I used to let you in, and let you kick me out. You used to make me laugh, but now you make me sick. Thought you were just so dope. But now, you’re full of it. Cuz all day and all night, I would take all your shh. Your what? Yeah, all day and all night. But I’m o-over it. It’s all good. Yeah, baby, it’s alright. I release you, tonight. It’s all cool. Yeah, no need to think twice. I release you, goodbye.” I sang. They all had a look of shock on their face. Um, why? I thought. “Wow. That was very… strong.” Kelly said. “Passionate.” Demi said. “That sounded like you were singing that to someone.” Paulina said. “I was. Johnny, if you’re out there…” I said. I then blew a kiss, waved, and then smiled. I also blew a kiss, pointed at myself and then smacked my hip, to mean, Kiss My Ass. “Yes.” They all said. I smiled. “Hey, Kirsten, I’d like for you to meet someone.” Simon said. “Okay! Well, one second, I have to go use the restroom.” I said. I walked offstage and out the stage door, right into someone who was mindlessly walking, with their head down. Which in doing so, they kinda pushed me to the ground. “Watch where you’re going, you worthless cunt.” The sharp voice barked. I looked up. Aw, hell no. Oh. My. God. You’ve got to be kidding me.
