2: First Live Show

The first live show was finished, which meant that Brogan and the rest of the crew were done for the night.
"Well done, everyone!" The runners' manager said, with a smile on her face.
Brogan took a deep breath of relief, and she smiled at her friend Katie, whom smiled back at her. The two linked arms, and they made their way out of the room, seeing that the contestants were making their way towards the xtra factor studio.
"Hey! Well done, guys!" Katie called.
"Thank you!" Tamera called back.
Brogan smiled at the group,
"You all did great."
They all started thanking Brogan and Katie, before they said their goodbyes, and the two girls made their way into the room where the runners hung out. Brogan and Katie sat down on the beanbags that sat in the middle of the room, and Brogan instantly dug out her digital camera. She and some other of the runners, -including Katie-, had decided to create vlogs about being a runner on the x factor. Katie got out her camera, and the two laughed. Turning on her camera, Brogan then turned the camera to face her,
"Hello, everyone! So the first live show is over and done with, and it was so much fun! Stressful," Brogan laughed, "but fun." She turned the camera to Katie. "How did you find the first show?"
Katie grinned at Brogan's camera,
"It was so cool! Even though it was very hectic, it was amazing to see what it's like behind the scene, and it's awesome to help out with it all!"
Brogan turned the camera back to herself,
"Well, we're just going to have a small rest, and then we're going to go back to the hotel and sleep for tomorrow's results." She waved to the camera, before turning off the camera.

It was late when Brogan got to her hotel room, and she was exhausted. Sighing deeply, Brogan walked over to her bed, and instantly lay back against the pillows. Pulling her phone out of her coat pocket, she unlocked her phone, and she clicked on her twitter icon.

blnx3: The first live show is over and done with! All the contestants were amazing! #xfactor
blnx3: Work doesn't stop yet for me... Or for any of the vlogging runners... Editing time!

She got out her laptop, and she started to edit the vlog from today. An hour and a half later, Brogan was pleased with her finished result, and she rendered it. after publishing it on YouTube, with the title: The Life of a Runner // x factor live show #1, she then tweeted a link, and she then closed her laptop and sighed deeply, feeling the tiredness hit her. standing up and changing into an over-sized t-shirt, she then crawled under her covers and she felt asleep instantly.

Luke was sitting in the x factor house in his room, still buzzing from the live show. Everyone else was asleep, but he just couldn't seem to fall asleep himself. Choosing to look online on twitter to see some tweets from the viewers, he began aimlessly scrolling through his timeline. He noticed that some of the runners were tweeting about vlogs. Curious, he clicked on Brogan's vlog, which she had just tweeted. Grabbing his earphones from his side table, he sat up in bed and he plugged in his earphones, and he clicked on the YouTube link. After watching the video, he liked the video, and decided to leave a comment:

Luke Friend: I believe I saw myself in a few of those clips... :P Might get myself and the boys to make a special appearance for your next video. Hahaha. x

After sending the comment, Luke yawned big, as he took his earphones out of his phone, and he placed both the earphones and his phone onto his side table, and he lay down, falling asleep instantly.

Brogan's alarm went off, and she sat up instantly, her heart racing from the sudden loud noise. Turning off her alarm, Brogan climbed out of bed, rubbing her eyes, and yawning. She stretched big, and she looked down at her phone, to see that Katie had just text her.

Katie: Meet me downstairs for breakfast in ten minutes. xo
Brogan: Okay... I've just woke up, like, so bear with... xo

Rushing over to her wardrobe, Brogan got out a pair of black leggings, a long shirt, and a pair of converses. She wasn't really in the mood for dressing stylish today. She was too exhausted and drained from yesterday's show, but she was still excited for today.

After she changed, Brogan made her way downstairs, and she met Katie in the dining area for breakfast.
"You excited for today then?" She asked.
Brogan nodded and smiled,
"Yep! I love it so far!"
"Me too! Oh my god, everyone is so nice and helpful."
Brogan giggled at Katie's reply, but she had a point. Everyone was really nice; including the contestants. There were no bitchiness in the house, which, unlike last year, was a change.

The girls arrived at the studio for 10:30 and instantly threw themselves into work. Brogan began to help the hair and makeup team get their stuff organised for tonight, while Katie started helping the costume department with tonight's outfits for all the contestants.

As Brogan finished helping the hair and makeup department, she heard someone whistling. Furrowing her eyebrows together, she looked over at the doorway, and a few seconds later, Luke walked in, and he smiled brightly at her,
"Hiya."
Brogan let out a laugh,
"Hi, you okay?" She asked.
He nodded,
"Yeah, thanks. You?"
Brogan smiled, folding her arms over her chest,
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Good." He smiled back at her. "I saw your vlog last night." He told her.
She raised her eyebrows at him, suddenly feeling nervous,
"Oh yeah?"
He nodded,
"Yeah. I liked it."
Brogan blushed slightly,
"Thanks."
"I commented on it." Luke told her with a smile. "I told you that Nick, Sam and I should do a special appearance for your video." He joked.
She laughed,
"Oh, that'd be awesome!" She laughed.
Luke grinned,
"I'll be sure to tell them then!"
Brogan smiled at him, and then she checked the time,
"Go on, you. you're needed on stage for rehearsals of tonight's performance."
He laughed at her,
"Yes, ma'am." He teased.
Brogan rolled her eyes playfully, and then she laughed,
"Would you just go?" She said, nudging him lightly.
Luke raised his arms in defence, as he walked out of the room, laughing to himself.

The first week was over, and there was one contestant gone - Lorna. Everyone was acting differently. They didn't know how to react. The two over 25's; Sam and Shelley were the most shocked and upset, as it was one from their category. The show was over, and the runners were in their room hanging out, and talking amongst their selves. There was a knock on the door. Brogan stood up, and she walked over to the door and she opened it, to see Luke standing there. He had his hands stuffed in his jeans pockets, and he smiled at her,
"Hey."
Brogan smiled back at him,
"Hi! You okay?" She asked.
Luke nodded at her,
"Yeah, yeah. The lads were just wondering if you'd come with us?"
She furrowed her eyebrows together,
"Huh?"
"For your video?" Luke said, raising his eyebrows at her.
"Ohhhh!" Brogan laughed. "Hold on then!"
She walked over and grabbed her bag and coat, said goodbye to the runners, and then she followed Luke out of the room, and into Nicholas' dressing room. When they walked in, she noticed that Nicholas and Sam were sitting on chairs. They looked up at she and Luke, and they said their hellos.
"This better be good." Brogan joked.
"We wanted to make a nice message for your video." Nicholas told her.
Brogan loved the boys. If she had to choose any of the categories, she'd definitely say that she got on the most with the boys. Her manager had assigned to working along side them; getting them to sound check, costume fittings, hair and makeup, etc. So over the past week, they'd all gotten to know each other a little bit.
Sam stood up and he grinned,
"Do you want an intro or an outro?" He asked.
"Uh..." Brogan trailed off, and laughed, shrugging. "I dunno!" She admitted.
"She's helpful is this one." Nicholas said to Sam and Luke.
Brogan rolled her eyes playfully at him, as he smiled at her.
"Just do whatever!" Brogan said, getting out her camera. "Don't even know why you wanna do this." She mumbled.
"Because you've been vlogging a lot this week, and you might as well have some of the contestants in it, too." Luke replied her mumbles, wrapping an arm around Brogan's shoulders, smiling down at him.
She smiled back at him, and she sighed slightly,
"Okay." She turned on her camera, and she aimed it at Sam and Nicholas. "Just do whatever."
Just as Brogan was about to click record, she got a better idea, and she placed her camera on Nicholas' dressing table,
"I'm just going to record the rest of this hang out." Brogan told them.
"Well this'll be fun." Luke laughed, rubbing his hands together.
Brogan laughed, pressing record, and then she walked over to the sofa, and she sat down; Luke sitting down beside her.
"You do realise you're just going to get a lot of boys fighting and taking the piss out of each other, right?"
Brogan shrugged slightly,
"Ah well." She laughed.
"Shall we do a sing-song?" Luke suggested.
The boys agreed, and Luke grabbed his guitar. Making sure they were all in the shot, Brogan crossed her legs, as she listened to the three boys sing together to, Hey Ho.
