Why Love When Its Hopeless?

Chapter 4

~Shelby's POV~

I made my way to the door. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I quickly took it out and checked it while walking to the door. Justine had tweeted.

I smiled and read half the tweet. It said, "Today's gonna be a great day, got a surprise..." I couldn't read the rest so I put my phone back in my dress pocket and opened the door.

When I opened the door, I couldn't believe who I saw. Jeannie wearing her "Ellen" jacket, with an "Ellen" microphone in her hand. My jaw dropped.

"Hey Shelby!" She said excitedly.

"H-Hi!" I said with a breathe. I couldn't believe she was here. She giggled.

"Don't be nervous! I can see you already know who I am." She said with a wink.

"Of course I do! Who wouldn't? I watch you on Ellen ALL-THE-TIME!" She laughed a short laugh.

"Well Shelby, would you like to go somewhere with me?" She asked.

"Well Yea!" I said like it was the most obvious thing ever.

"Ok well step out here and I'll show you were you are going to be put in." She said motioning with her hand and started backing away with the camera man.

"Ok? What exactly do you mean 'be put in'?" I asked as I shut the door behind me, knowing I already had the keys in my pocket.

"You'll see!" She laughed. I took a deep breathe. I knew they were filming me, but I just didn't know if it was live or not. I didn't want to embarrassed myself so I tried to keep my cool. I walked up to Jeannie who was by a big trailer, which has this big rectangular blue box. Jeannie was already up there. "Just come up here." She said.

I took the steps up to her. "Ok just step in." She said excitedly. I giggled, and stepped in. "Ok. Here. Put this on." she handed me a blindfold. I giggled and slipped it on over my head. "Ok. Let me just drilled a couple holes so you can breathe." Jeannie said after she shut the box.

It was light in the box, and a little hot, but it's no too bad. After I heard several drills being made, it stopped. "Ok let's go!" Jeannie said, and then I felt the trailer move. I put my hands on the sides of the box to keep me balanced. After the ride smoothed I let my hands drop to my sides. I got a little bored so I start to hum "Boyfriend" to myself. I do sing. I have won a couple talent shows, but then I quite singing when I moved here. I just felt to depressed to continue. I finished humming "Boyfriend". This is gonna be a long ride.

~30 Minutes Later~

My feet were starting to hurt, but then the trailer stopped. I heard some whispering, and a big jerk which make the box tip backwards.

"Whoa!" I said as I tried to keep myself balanced. I was still tilted backwards as I started to move. I have no clue as to where I am.
After a little bit I was now even to the floor. I could now stand straight. I heard a shuffle sounded, and to my left, I heard like a small door being opened.

"Hello Shelby." A all too familiar voice said. I gasped.

"HI ELLEN!" I shouted a little too loudly, cause I then hear myself. She probably put a microphone in the box. CRAP! A microphone means, audience, which means live T.V! I heard Ellen laugh.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm great!" I said a little shakily.

"Would you like to come out now?" Ellen asked. I giggled.

"Please?" I asked politely. I heard giggles come from the audience.

"Ok. Hold on a sec." She said.

"Ok" I said back. I heard another ruffle noise and the small door being closed. After some drill sounds being made and some whisperers along with shuffling. I then heard 3 crashes, as I felt a breeze.

"Ok, You can take your blind fold off." Ellen said. I took a deep breath and took off the blind fold. A bright light was shown, then I saw the crowd on there feet clapping. I saw smiling, laughing at myself before I looked to my left and saw Ellen smiling her beautiful smile.

"OH MY GOSH!!" I squeaked and hugged Ellen right away. Tears were coming down my cheeks. "I can't believe this!" I exclaimed. Ellen giggled, and hugged me back tighter.

"Let's take a seat." Ellen said guiding me to the red guest chair.
