I woke up at 5 in the morning to get ready today for the Ellen Show. My parents surprised me with a trip to California and a pass to Ellen's show on the day One Direction are there for my 18th birthday. Well 4/5 of One Direction because honestly after more than 2 years later I still consider Zayn as part of the band.
I was lucky enough that 2 of my friends got to tag along and come here for 2 weeks.
We all got our nails, hair and makeup done, waited in traffic for about an hour and half and then another two hours in a line to get in here. At last we are seated in the audience waiting.
•••
After a couple of people come on and she calls people from the audience to play her games and whole lot of laughing later, she finally announces One Direction.
Watching them walk in is absolutely amazing, this is the closest I've ever been and will ever be to them.
She asks them how they've been and how their break went. She asks them who is single and only Harry and Niall raise their hands. It can be kind of upsetting but then I realize they are people and they have to live their lives. I mean Louis' baby is growing so fast!
The highlight of the whole thing so far was her scaring them. Harry was the worse since he was sitting right next to her.
"So the boys brought a couple tickets for a lucky fan," she says and everyone starts cheering "but I wont make it easy" everyone starts laughing imagining what she's gonna have the lucky person or people do.
"So can I have Stacy Ramberg and (Y/F/N) come down" I look around for who it is until I realize she called me down. I jump up along with my friends and we all hug each other before I make my way down. I nearly trip on the way down but luckily I steady my self before continuing on.
I reach them and hug the other girl who got called down. She looks to be around 30 and she's absolutely gorgeous. We continue down and the first person I reach is Ellen. I hug her tighter than I thought possible and tell her I love her she chuckles and says she loves me too, then proceeds to hug the other girl.
Now, I've waited more than 6 years to see these boys up close, and I have just about every picture taken of them since they first formed a band. Let me tell you they look a billion times better in person.
I hug Liam first. Liam Payne. "Oh my cheezits..." I whisper to myself. He hears and laughs at me.
Next is Harry and the first thing that comes to mind is how great he smells. "Oh my lord I'm hugging Harry Styles" I say looking up at him. He smiles down at me and I move on to Louis.
Louis is taller than I expected him to be, but that's probably because of the fandom. I smile at him and whisper "Am I dreaming?" He chuckles and replies, "No your not love."
I walk toward Niall and I swear my heart stops beating, I've waited so long for this moment. I hug him around the waist and he hugs back over my shoulders. " I can't believe this, I'm imagining this right?" I say into his chest. His chest vibrates and an amazing sound comes out through his mouth. Ellen is now by us and begins to explain a game.
I continue to look at Niall, is he real? We are pretty much having a staring contest. Is he real? I reach out my hand and poke his cheek, he's actually here. Everyone starts laughing and Ellen continues to explain the rules: she asks us a question, we press the button, we answer the question.
"Are you guys ready?" We both nod, all the boys are standing next to us.
"What day and year was One Direction formed?"
The girl buzzes in before I can.
"Um M-May 10th?" She says hesitantly.
"Nope, do you know (Y/N)?" Ellen says looking at me. I nod. An awkward couple of seconds go by before I realize I should be telling her.
"Oh um sorry, July 23, 2010 at 8:22pm" I smile confidently looking at my friends in the crowd, they give me a thumbs up.
Ellen stares at me and raises her eyebrows, did I get that wrong?
"Yes that's right. However I didn't need the exact time." Everyone laughs including my friends which makes my cheeks become really hot.
"When is Niall Horan's birthday?" I reach my hand out to press the button but the girl beats me to it again.
"October uh 17th?" She says I smile because I know the answer. Ellen looks at me, "September 13th 1993 at 8:32pm, I believe" everyone starts laughing again. I look at Niall and he's looking at me with wide eyes, I shyly smile back at him.
"Ok, moving on, this should be easier, who is the youngest in the band?" my hand pops out and I luckily get to the button before.
"Harry." I answer quickly. Ellen nods her head.
"How about this, what's five minus one?" My hand speeds out like lightning and I get to the button first. "Four." I reply.
"Ok how about we give Stacy a chance?" Ellen says laughing. "What was the name of One Direction's first album?"
I look at Stacy and she has a blank expression on her face. "Oh, um, What Makes You Beautiful?" I smile to myself as I realize I pretty much already won.
Ellen looks at me again and nods her head, "One Direction's first album is Up All Night."
"Well we know who the winner is! But since I'm a nice person I will give you a 55" TV, Stacy!" They bring out a TV box and Stacy heads back to her seat.
They then hand me 4 tickets and I begin jumping up and down and hug everyone within a 5 foot radius of me.
"Thank you so much" I say to Ellen. She says "you're welcome" and I head back to my seat where I continue freaking out.
We enjoy the rest of the show, and get ready to attend the concert which would take place one month later.
•••••
Ok, so I found this in my notes from about 6 months ago so I decided I would add it on here.
Just a short imagine about meeting one direction in Ellen lol.
Hope you enjoyed.
