Olly was just about to perform. His band was behind him. Donovan waved at me; he was so funny when he wasn’t working. I waved back and looked at Olly. He sent me one of his famous smiles before the lights went down to a single spotlight on Dermot at the side of the stage. “...and now performing his new single Oh My Goodness! It’s our very own success story Olly Murs!” the audience went mad. “Oh My Goodness, I can’t hide it...” I planned to stand here with Bella but she was somewhere with Niall. I swear Niall was going to have to get a restraining order on that girl! I hope they get caught on camera. It wasn’t fair. She’s not shy why can’t she get she get caught? I thought about things all the way through Olly’s performance but didn’t realise until someone picked me up and spun me round. I'm a terrible day dreamer. I don’t get distracted ooh shiny. “Hey Ol’s great show!” he put me down but kept his arms around me. “Thanks Jaz!” but then I realised he was going back on tour tomorrow. I wasn’t going to get upset. I had to keep telling myself that. He took my hand as we waited for the result. My favourite went that night and I was convinced it was a fix. “C’mon you need to get ready for your show!” we walked behind the stage where we met Niall and Bella. “Something going on here is there?” I laughed. Niall, being fair skinned, went as red as a tomato and Bella just smiled at the ground. The back stage crew asked the boys to go and sorted out mine and Bella’s ear piece and microphone wires. I heard Tim’s voice in my ear telling us to stay calm and enjoy it. He told us to make Caroline proud. I looked at Bella. “Okay Tim we’ll try.” The stage door opened. “Hello! I'm Jaz!” “...and I'm Bella!” we looked at each other. “...and this is the Xtra Factor!” the audience cheer. We went and spoke to the latest act to leave the competition and the judges before leaving for a break. The first part of the show was boring it was when you got up to the studio and the crew turned everything dirty making it all the more funny. “Right he performed his song Oh My Goodness earlier on ITV1” I was waiting for what was coming next. “... and you may have seen him with Jaz on the show yesterday...” I hit Bella. “I’m going to ignore you, it’s Olly Murs!” he came in and winked at me. “Hey girls!” Bella was singing. “Jaz and Olly sitting in a tree...” then you just heard the crew shout “K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” I looked at Olly and felt myself go red. “Right, Olly, how’s your tour going?” I was trying so hard not to walk out. He just kept smiling at me. “Before we start, me and Jaz are in a relationship and if I see any hurtful comments towards her you will be reported. Whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, Youtube or any other kind of site you will be reported. I love her and that’s all that matters!” Bella shut her mouth and the room went silent. Mouths were agape at Olly. He never did anything like that. “Jaz!” I heard Tim hiss in my ear. “Aw Olly...” he gave me a hug.  “That’s so sweet...” I just stayed in his hug for a while. The crew went awwww and I suddenly remembered we were on air. “So Olly, as me and my friend here have taken your job we have one thing to say to you...” I looked at Bella as if to say 3.2.1. “Na na na na naaa” he laughed at our immaturity as we stuck our tongues out. “... and there I was think you two were slightly normal!” was he crazy? Me, normal? “Nope, just pure craziness babe!” he winked at me. We laughed for a bit and joked around while we were filling in time. “Olly Murs everybody!” the crew gave him a round of applause. The crew played a VT as Olly walked to the side of the studio. “... and now... it’s the person some people are calling the god of the X Factor...” I looked to the camera on my right. “... and no it’s not Simon Cowell...” I looked back. “It’s Dermot O’Leary!!” Bella and I said in unison. He came through the door. “I try!” he said as he hugged us and sat down. “How was the show for you tonight Dermot?” I had gone shy and was making Bella do most of the talking. “It’s hard. It’s got to that point where you don’t want anyone to go home...” we nodded in agreement. “...and they’re all such lovely people...”I just sat there while these two had a conversation and tried to look interested. “Jaz, its Olly!” I suddenly heard in my ear. “You need to say something!” I looked towards the camera as if to say okay. “Jaz... you alright?” I looked at Bella... “Yeh I'm fine I was day dreaming sorry! What were you saying?” they laughed at me... “We were talking about Dermot’s dancing...” I heard Olly in my ear. “Say that he stole Olly’s move’s” I laughed to myself “Dermot Olly say’s you stole his moves and he wants them back. Pronto!”  Dermot laughed. “You would know...” I was confused... “Know what?” I could hear Olly laughing in my earpiece. “What Olly had said ‘cause you know...” he winked at me. I felt myself go red. “Conner...” I suddenly heard in my ear.
