Theres Always a Catch. (Austin Mahone One DirectionFAN FIC)

Live Show

*** Eli's POV ***

(3 Weeks Later)

So since Austin and I have been together, we've had more than 30 rehearsals with Simon, and everytime, he gets more and more suspicious. We just hide it and say we're best friends. We laugh at every joke and when Im performing and I have to look in to the audience, I almost lose track of the words.

Tonights the first live shows and Im nervous. Too nervous, I guess. Theres gonna be over 4,000 people. And Im a whole different person from my first audition, which aired two nights ago. I went from 'sweet innocent' girl to 'I'll rip off your head if you touch me' girl. And to verify that, they showed the bootcamp video again last night and we all saw my outburst on Elisa.

I put my thoughts aside from every change Ive gone thru in this comptetion towards my outfit. Striped leggings with black high heels with a black lace up bodice and my leather jacket. My hair in a pony tail with a bump and big hoop earrings. Im leaving for the performance in ten minutes and Im the first contestant up because they dont want people to get bored with the melody the other contestants are doing.

Simon told me I could pick my own second song since the show has to last for an hour. He said I should sing The Reason because it was my dad's favorite song. But our live show next week lands on the anniversary of his death so I thought I'd sing it then.

But the song I chose is a song for Lucy. One she absolutelys adores. One that makes her feel beautiful. I got to pick my own outfit and choose my own sing but I wasnt allowed to tell anyone. Not even Simon. He had to wait and hope I chose something that wouldnt wreck the look his crew gave me. But its not up to him to decide what I do and what I wear or what goes on my body.

The car picked me up around 7:00 and everyone (Including the judges) were in it. Since we usually talk bad about the judges on our way to the studio, this car ride was silent and awkward. After the long ten minutes to the studio, we were on a red carpet. Surrounded by fans and papparazzi.

The boys and judges went first becasue theyre the famous ones and they can handle it. The three boys in the competition went next and every girl screamed at the top of their lungs for the flawless boys. The girls went next, hand in hand, and I could hear people going crazy over these girls. I was next and my heart raced like crazy.

I put one foot out and took the hand of the security guard standing there. I walked in view point of everywhere in the crowd and there were cameras flashing everywhere, screaming girls asking for autographs I couldnt give them, cute boys asking me to marry them, and by the time I got to the door I was stopped by an interviewer.

"Hello Elizabeth! Im Guiliana Rancic from E! News and Im here to ask you a few questions about the show.!"

"Oh great! Its Eli for short by the way. But go ahead and fire away!"

"Okay, Eli, how are you liking all the attention your getting?"

"Uh, well its really great. I think the outcome is amazing and to have these many fans for just being myself is a dream come true."

"Thats great, so we've spotted some pictures of you and your mentor Austin Mahone getting really cozy in rehearsals. Is there a little romance sparking between you guys?"

"Isnt it every girls dream? Haha, but no, me and Austin are just friends. Good friends. Hes a huge flirt though! But so am I so we always have fun in rehearsals with Simon there and its just always great." I said this with a huge smile trying not to blush or look like I was lying.

"Okay, thats good. Well we all saw you go off on Elisa in boot camp, we just saw her mouth some words to you before you started hitting her, can you tell us what she said that got you so angry?"
