Liam Payne's Step Sister

28: VidCon 2

Ellie's P.O.V

We pulled into Jenna's driveway and got all our stuff from the back of the car. Yup... I'm staying at Jenna Marbles' house for VidCon.

"Need some help with that?" Dan smirks as I try to lift his case out of the car. "What did you pack in here? Bricks?" I sarcastically ask. "Yeah." He lies.

"Ellie!" Jenna says, running out the front door and coming to hug me.

"Hey." I cooly shrug, hugging her back.

"Hello?" I groggily pick up my annoying phone.
"Hey. It's Niall." He answers.
"Yeah. And it's 6 o'clock here." I retort.
"Sorry. I was just wondering what you were up to today...?" He finishes in a higher pitch, almost like he's asking a question.
"Just... Stuff." I stupidly answer.

Actually, VidCon starts today and ends in three days.

"So..." Niall awkwardly tries to end the silence I didn't know existed.
"I'll call you when I officially wake up. Night Niall." I sigh.
"Of course you will." He chuckles.
"Night." He says, hanging up.

Once I shower, straighten my hair, do my makeup and put on my outfit for the day, I decide to call Niall again.

"Hello?" He asks, almost as groggily as I did earlier.
"Oh please. Would you quit mocking me?" I giggle, realizing he's faking it.
"Sorry you decided to call now but we have an interview in like 2 minutes." He sighs.
"It's fine. But I'm busy for the rest of the day." I pout.
"Niall? C'mon! We're starting soon." Louis says in the background.
"Hey Loui!" I shout so he can hear me.
"Hi!" He yells.
"Bye." Niall laughs as he presses end.

"Ellie! Get your bum down here now!" Marcus yells. "We have food." Kenzie taunts.

They know me too well...

I finish eating and get packed into the car with everyone else. We, surprisingly, drove the whole way there in silence. But it probably helped everyone was on their phones, including me. I was texting Niall, who was still being interviewed. I honestly don't even know how I went so long without his number.

I jump out of the car to be greeted by millions of fans. But don't worry, they're not all mine or anything.

"Oh my gosh! Can I get a picture?" A teenage girl comes up and asks me. "Sure." I smile as she takes her phone out.

As I set up a little booth for myself, before the festival officially began, I shut off my phone and walked over to Kenzie's space.

"What's up?" I ask, completely ignoring the fact she was busily preoccupied talking on her phone. She simply waves and gets back to her conversation.

I walk over to Lily Sigh's (aka iisuperwomanii) booth.

"So you're performing today... Right?" She asks without even looking up from her phone. "I have to. So why wouldn't I?" I curiously ask.

"You haven't check your Twitter or anything today... Have you?" She says, looking up from her phone. It was scary, not knowing what was going through her head.

I quickly shoved my hand into my pocket and yanked out my phone, frantically putting in my passcode and opening my Twitter account.

I know I said I didn't have one but... I lied. I do have one, but the boys don't know about it for two reasons, 1, they would know about my YouTube. And 2, they would be furious I made one, due to hate mail and rude fans. Sure, it's not like I don't get hate mail about living with them every day. But, my beloved fans and friends always make sure to add more love than hate.

Anyways, I check my notifications, 1 new tweet! It read. I checked the name... Niall Horan.

I take a quick glance at the tweet and shut my phone off. It takes me a minute to register that I only saw one word.

                         VidCon

I turn on my phone with so much pressure, I might break it. But that's the least of my worries. I reread the tweet with a lot more caution this time.

Got two tickets to VidCon and I'm taking @Real_Liam_Payne so that we can surprise a close friend of ours.

"Oh my fucking God..." I whisper to myself. "What're you gonna do?" She asks with her full attention on me.

"Ask him I guess..." I half heartedly answer, zoned out.

E: hey! So VidCon huh?
N: damn! You got me... We were planning on surprising you. Are you there?
E: yeah... You're seriously coming?
N: why wouldn't we? Liam's coming too btw.
E: I'll see you there, I guess? Where are you planning on staying?
N: just a hotel. Well, I've gotta get packed! See you soon!

"I'm screwed." I mumble. "Better get that performance prepared babe. See you on stage!" Lily says, pushing me away.
