Stella's POV:
I walk onto the stage to sit on the couch beside Ellen, as shocked as I am about the news of Mason, I can't believe I am sitting opposite Ellen DeGeneres on the couch. She is about to interview me, but what's even crazier, is that the fans in the audience are standing and cheering. This welcome is so overwhelming. I am literally speechless. "Stella! Welcome to LA! It is so incredible how much your fans love you, just listen to them!" Ellen cries over the clapping and cheering of the audience. "Oh my Gosh, this is so crazy. Thank you all so much!" I shout. I am blown away by this warm welcome. This is exactly what I needed, reassurance that there are people out there who like me for me. Once the cheering dies down Ellen begins. "It's so good to have you here!" she says smiling. "Thank you, it's so good to be here!" I answer. " "So let's talk about how everything started for you. What is the story behind that." she asks. "Well singing has always been a dream of mine and I had a YouTube channel that I would upload videos on once a week. Then one Saturday morning, I was recording for YouTube at my vocal coach's house and that day I covered Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray. I just did regular things for the rest of the day and then by the time I got home that night I saw that my video have over a million views. I couldn't believe it. I was lying in bed that night and I saw that Simon Cowell tweeted me. I couldn't believe it so I just went to bed and decided that I would read more into it in the morning. Then when I woke up the next day, I got a call from my vocal coach saying that Simon wanted to fly me out to London and sign me to his record label. Then it all just went from there." I explain. "That is incredible. You must have been so excited. So then what, you just flew out to London?" Ellen asks. "Yeah, basically. I packed pretty much my entire wardrobe and flew out to London. Thankfully my best friend came with me though and she has been by my side supporting me every step of the way." I tell her. "That is crazy. So your parents must be very supportive then to just send you to a whole other continent then." she states. "Yeah, I mean just like any other parents, they were a little skeptical at first, but singing is my dream and my passion and it's been what I've worked for my entire life and they know how important it is to me so they will do anything they can to support me and help me follow my dreams." I tell her. "That's great. So what has it been like over there?" she asks. "At first, it was hard to get used to but now it feels like a second home to me." I smile. "Of course. so when did the One Direction boys come in?" she smirks. I laugh and reply. "Well the day we moved in, Simon was with us and as he was leaving he was like 'I hope you girls are One Direction fans.' and within minutes after he left, the boys were knocking at our door. The minute we let them into our condo, they made themselves right at home. Honestly, the boys are like brothers to us." I explain. "Except for one of them right? Let's talk about him." Ellen says sneakily. I smile. "So you two are dating then, you must get a lot of hate." she says. "Well, for the most part, the fans have been great, very supportive of us. But of course there are fans who don't like that we are together and I mean, I can understand where they are coming from because when I was younger, I was in love with Justin Timberlake from N'Sync. I totally know where they are coming from, but at the same time, Harry and I are happy together and I just wish they would be supportive of our relationship." I tell her. "Of course. So the tour then, how excited are you?" she asks changing the subject. "I am so excited, this is my first tour and I am so excited to perform in front of sold out crowds, its just insane." I tell her. "You're music is great, and I know that they will love you." Ellen compliments. "Thank you so much." I smile. "Well Stella, thank you for being here with us today, good luck on the tour and I will have to have you back soon!" she says ending our interview. "Thank you so much for having me!" I smile and with that, she cuts to commercials. I am led backstage to change and head back to the hotel. I get into the change room and Cristina and Lou are waiting for me. "You did so well!" Cristina smiles. "Was it okay?" I ask them blushing. "Yes, you did wonderful love!" Lou compliments. "You. We need to talk." I say pointing at Cristina. "Yeah I know, but not now, we need to get your things and meet the boys back at the hotel, they've already gone." she says. "Harry left too?" I ask. She nods. That's odd. "Did you say anything to him about Mason being here?" I ask Cristina. "No, I swear I didn't." she promises. I nod and collect my things as Lou packs the make up. "What are you girls doing this afternoon?" Lou asks us. "Nothing, we are just hanging around for the rest of the day." I tell her. "Perfect, shall we do dinner then?" Lou suggests. "I think I have dinner plans with Niall, you two go ahead though." Cristina says. "Alright, I'll text you later then, see you loves!" Lou says as she leaves. Cristina and I head to the car and once we are inside, I stare her down. "Talk." I demand. "Okay, okay! Like I said, this morning, I was up early so I thought I would run out and grab Niall and I some coffees, and when I was walking, I literally bumped into Mason." she explains. "And? What did he say? What the hell is he doing in LA in the middle of November?" I ask her. "He said...well...he..." she stutters. "What Cristi, what did he say?" I say sternly. "He said he came to see you." she says. My mouth falls open. "To see me? Right, because he cared so much about me when we were together." I say rolling my eyes. "This is just perfect. Do you have any idea how angry Harry will be if he finds out?" I tell her. "I know, but Stella, what are you going to do?" she asks me. "I have no idea, nothing I guess, he doesn't have my number and he doesn't know where we are staying. He as no access to me so I'm just going to avoid him." I tell her as our car pulls up to the back entrance of the hotel. "But Ste-" she begins. "No." I cut her off. "That's it, end of story." I tell her ending the conversation. "Fine, but Stel, he's right there." she says pointing in front of us. My mouth falls open. "Mason." I say.
