eva walks into the building, management following her. they walk past the dressing rooms and break areas, seeing ellen talking to the stage crew. eva walks over to her, making ellen shriek with joy.

"EVA OH MY GOSH HI" ellen hugs her immediately, not letting her go. "GUYS THIS IS THE GIRL I WAS TELLING YALL ABOUT" eva smiles and waves at the people. "okay lets go get you ready for the show. we're going on in 2 hours. thats enough time, right?" ellen snaps her fingers, signalling the makeup and outfit crew to come backstage.

they pull eva into a room, makeup shelves surrounding them.

they sit her on a makeup chair, wiping off the minimal makeup she had on.

"can you do a natural look? i dont like wearing a lot of makeup. it makes me uncomfortable" eva looks at the makeup artist, praying he says yes.

"of course dear, what color eyeshadow we do? a light rosey pink or a light brown?"

"light brown! we picked her outfit, pink wouldn't work well with yellow and creme pants" a lady walks in with a creme tube top, yellow & creme colored vertical striped pants, and nude heels. eva smiles at the outfit choice.

"okay lets get you into these clothes, then we can do your hair" eva walks behind a velvet curtain before changing out of her clothes and into the ones given to her.

she steps out of the corner and walks in front of the people. they all nod their heads in approval before sitting her in the chair again to do her hair.

we were all currently sitting in the living room, on our phones.

"PUT THE TV ON NOW NOW NOW!" corbyn screams out of nowhere. jonah grabs the remote quickly, putting the tv on. "PUT ON ELLEN! FUCK I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS TODAY, I WAS SUPPOSE TO GO" we all look at him with confused expressions. jonah puts on ellen, looking at corbyn.

corbyn takes the remote from him and highers the volume. ellen is sitting on her chair, talking.

"okay guys quiet down, i have a special guest for you guys! at only 17, she has been number 1 on the itunes charts for both her singles. please welcome the one and only eva miller!"

eva walks out from the side, waving at the camera and the audience. she sits on the chair across from ellen.

she does her little smile where her eyes shut and her head tilts towards her shoulder.

"hello eva" ellen smiles at her.

"hello ellen, thank you for having me today" she smiles again.

"no thank you for coming, your management told me you were extremely busy but you insisted on coming today"

"busy? we were busy playing with nerf guns at the office. jerry kept losing so we kept playing until he won" she giggles, looking at the audience.

"well that sounds like fun but lets move onto the serious topics that everyone wants to know more about" she nods her head.

"so the music. what inspired you to start singing for the public eye because a source told me you were always scared to perform"

"oh most definitely, growing up i was always shy and scared to experience things. i never wanted to be bold, i always kept to myself. it wasnt until one day my brother was live on younow and i had my headphones in. i started singing adele, not knowing the viewers could hear me. they started taking moments and posted them on twitter and instagram. i was surprised to see all the feedback. ever since that day i started writing music which lead to me releasing couple of kids and r.i.p" she stops talking and lets out a breath.

"speaking of couple of kids and r.i.p, who are they about? many people are speculating if theyre about the same person but it hasn't been confirmed"

"they are about the same person. i will not say who because that would cause drama which im trying to steer away from"

"you posted on instagram a post about someone starting drama but not being honest with the supporters. is that the same person you wrote the song about?"

"ellen, sweetie, the pressure that is on my shoulders oh mY GOD" she starts to laugh before covering her face.

"im going to take that as a yes" ellen winks at the camera.

the show goes to a commercial break, making me slightly upset.

"so" jack says.

"i feel bad, eva invited me to go with her on set but i totally forgot that it was today" corbyn pouts before going on his phone.

"how did you remember?" daniel says, breaking the silence.

"christina and jade went, we're in a groupchat together and they kept spamming, asking where i was"

"do you think the songs are about me?" i ask out of nowhere. i havent said a word since the show started.

"NO SHIT HONEY" jonah screams making everyone laugh. "zach the fact that you're just noe questioning it makes me realize why eva is done with you no offense"

"ouch that hurt the minimal feelings i have left" i put my hand over my heart and laugh.

"annnnnnd we're back, for the first time ever, eva miller will be performing her unreleased song Worst In Me said to be released december 27th" eva is standing behind the microphone, smiling.

the lights started to dim, a spotlight on her.

"remember when i use to be happy for you" her voice was low and calm, making my heart flutter.

you could go out with you female friends and i'd be totally fine
remember when you used to be happy for me
you celebrate all my success without crossing a line
now it's like we're scared of getting good

'cause we know the truth is that we could
yeah we know that we might actually work
and the truth is that we could
but maybe it's the worst in me

that's bringing out the worst in you
i know we can fix these kinks
but the worst in me doesn't want to
work on things
but the best of me wants to love you
but the worst in me doesn't want to"

she looks so happy, singing in front of people.
god, what is she doing to me?
