Drama, as Simple as That (One Direction Fan-Fic)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22:

*Ellie’s POV*

I kept walking towards the building when I got pulled by Paul, for another interview. This time it was just the guys and I. I left Luke behind with Perrie and walked to the interview. A random guy came up to me and pushed me out of the way. “Make way! One Direction coming through.” The man said. “Excuse me, I am part of One Direction.” I said politely. “You?! In One Direction!? Ha! You’re funny. It’s a boy band, no girls!” he laughed in my face! The point of this was to prove that I belong in the band as much as the boys.

My inner sass was going to come out, and it was not pretty. “Look sir! I am in One Direction! You are the most sexist person I have met! Who says I can’t be in One Direction? They are not a boy band! Now let me through before I call security.” I exclaimed. “Well, we only want an interview with the boys so scurry off.” With that said he pushed me back to the girls and Luke. Well then!

Paul approached us and pulled Perrie and I for an interview. Yay! I never had an interview with my Best friend! We talked with a much nicer interviewer. We covered up relationships and our own tours. When we were done. Paul told us we had one more interview to cover, then we can make our way inside. This time it was only the girls and Luke. I felt bad that he didn’t have any guy friends.

We answered the same questions from before. I thought it was going good, until the interviewer pointed out my relationship with Louis, Niall and Harry. Before anyone else could answer, I started talking. “Well, I know none of us feel comfortable with saying what goes on in our love life. Yes we do have a public life being in Little Mix and One Direction and being their girlfriends, but we also have a personal life that we want you to respect.” He looked surprised and ended the interview.

“You go girl!” Perrie said patting my back. I laughed and soon I felt someone hold my hand. I saw it was Luke’s and looked at him confused. “Remember you said to play along.” He said and winked. I nodded and blushed? Luke was forced into an interview with the guys while us girls were taking group pictures, that later led into a photo shoot for Perrie and I.

Later all of us were re-united, but not for long. “Niall, Louis, Harry, Ellie! Over here!” a woman shouted. I thought we had no more interviews! Paul lied to me! We approached the woman and she just hit us with questions. “Ellie, describe the relationship you had with each lad.” She said pointing at Harry, Louis and Niall. I snapped with having the same question about my relationships! “Look Lady-“ I shouted but got cut off by Paul. “You guys aren’t supposed to do more interviews.” He said leading us to the rest of the group.

We took a real One Direction group picture and later went to our dates. We sat in the front row and the show started. We took up the whole front row! The order from left to right was Liam, Danielle, Zayn, Perrie, Me, Luke, Niall, Hannah, Harry, Taylor, Louis, and Eleanor. Some producers took the boys, Perrie and I backstage, and into a dressing room. “Hurry and change into new clothing. You’re on in 20.” Paul said. We were supposed to perform a song. The boys dressed in their most known clothing and I was wearing blue shorts, a white flowy top, and my blue converse. The theme we were going for was blue and white.

We made our way to the platforms that led to the stage and waited.“Next performing, the biggest group in the world, One Direction!” Selena Gomez said. We were all on platforms, waiting to be shot up on stage.  That was until someone pulled me off the platform once the lights went off.

The song started and I saw all five boys on stage. They started to sing ‘Nobody Compares’. I told the producer guy that I was in One Direction and I had to sing. This has become a usual question and answer. I saw Paul pull me backstage once again. “Look Ellie, You’re going to be performing your song next, don’t worry!” he assured me. “So no one bothered to tell me I had to perform alone!” I bursted in anger. “Calm down and change into this.” Paul said handing me new clothing. It was white shorts, a pink flowy  top, and pink converse. I didn’t like pink, but I had to deal with it.

I quickly changed and went to Paul. He brought me to a platform and waited by my side. You can say I love Paul like a father figure more than our body guard and tour manager. He gave me a quick hug once they started to introduce me. “Next up, we have one-sixth of One Direction performing her hit song. Let’s hear it for Ellie Thompson!” Demi Lovato said in excitement. Why couldn't Managment make Niall date Demi instead of Hanah. She seems way more popular and nicer. I was knocked out of my thoughts when  I was shot up on stage and started singing “Better Than Revenge.”

-------------------------------------------------

I got off stage and felt excitement and happiness. People knew the song was about the three monsters and you can say I just publicly humiliated them! I was so proud of myself. Not only did I embarrass them, but I got to show everyone that I can sing and I do have talent! I went to the backstage area where Perrie, Luke, and the guys were waiting. I just felt the adrenaline kick in and ran up to Luke. He lifted me up and I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He didn’t have to hold me, considering I was really light.

Still hugging, I whispered to Luke, “Please tell me you recorded that and took pictures!” “Of course I did!” he answered. I saw Louis cough and that’s when I realized we weren’t alone. We both reluctantly let go of each other. I went up to Perrie and crushed her in a hug. “You were amazing!” She told me, once we let go. “Thanks!” I said. I was going to walk towards the boys, but she pulled me back. “We’ll talk about you and Luke later.” She whispered in my ear. I blushed and went up to Liam and Zayn. “Ellie, you don’t know how proud we are!” Zayn started. “You smashed it out there!” Liam finished. “Thanks guys.” I answered.

I walked to Harry, Niall and Louis, but got pulled back. “Little Mix were supposed to perform, but the rest couldn’t make it. Would you like to perform with Perrie?” Paul asked me. “Of course!” I answered quickly. “Alright you and Perrie go to a dressing room and do your girl stuff.” He said. I laughed at his comment and nodded. Perrie and I happily skipped to a dressing room and changed into our outfits. Since we were doing ‘DNA’ we had mostly black clothing on along with make-up.

We were called out to go on stage in five minutes, so we went backstage to meet with the boys. Perrie gave Zayn a quick kiss and I hugged Luke. We went to our spots on stage and waited for our music to start playing. The lights went on and Perrie started. I can see an angered Louis being comforted by Eleanor. What? We continued singing, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off of Louis and Eleanor. By choice, they were holding hands and kissing each other. Woah there Eleanor!

We got off stage and Perrie and I let it all out. We screamed to the top of our lungs, to be later told to shut up by Paul. Well then! Perrie kissed Zayn, again! I just wanted her to hurry and get out of these itchy clothes. We all went to our changing room and changed our clothes back into either a dress or tux, just how we arrived. We got to our seats in time for some award being given out. “And the Award for Boy Band goes to… One Direction!!” Taylor Swift said. What. The. Hell. I feel like she wanted to present this on purpose! She probably did, evily grinning at me.

The Boys got up and had their moment. They went up stage and did their speech. Did they not know I was in the band too? Perrie saw my annoyance and discomfort so she tried to relax me. “Ellie, They’re just being idiots. People will sooner or later notice that you are in the band!” she said. I let out a sigh and saw the boys come back to their seats. I remember they thanked their family and fans and management. Why managment? Did they not remember how Lauren did awful at her job? Did they even notice how wrong this was? I wasn’t up there with my band, like I was supposed to.

But it didn’t matter. I couldn’t get mad because I was nominated for best single and female artist. I just need to win! I have to show everyone that I do have talent. My single was against the boys ‘Live While We’re Young’.

“And the winner is….”
