SKINNY SKINNY/ASHTON IRWIN/SONG FICTION

✨1✨

Ella lives a quiet life in her family house, in a small town. She has big dreams that this place can't take hold of. She doesn't like to complain, because deep down she knows, if she works hard, she will achieve all of them.
     Tonight, was one of these nights that do not seem to finish soon and she couldn't sleep. She didn't want to wake anyone up, so she tip-toed to the kitchen, to grab some cookies and eat, while she turned Netflix on. She was hard to find a series to like, as she wanted something to cheer her up, no drama or sadness added to the stress she always had. Unable to find something, she turned it off and watched Spongebob, from YouTube. Soon, she started to laugh at the same old jokes, she had heard a million times. «God, Ella, be quiet, I'm trying to sleep!» her mom said. She rolled her eyes and lowered the volume. She didn't want to upset anyone but she knew the video wasn't that loud, and all this was an overreaction, because her mom worked too much and she was tired. She understood she needs sleep. So she didn't argue about it. She kept eating her cookies, enjoying their taste. She always tried to find new flavors to try, because she was never satisfied with the candy she already had. After a few hours, she managed to sleep.
      The next morning, she woke up late. Of course, she had fallen asleep at early morning. «For the love of God, Ella.» said her mom. «How long will you keep being this way? You're already 21. Go get a job, find friends, do something, you can't do this to yourself!» she seemed worried, and she was. She didn't want her daughter to end up lonely for all her life and the way she socialized looked like she would. «In fact, tommorow I'm seeing 5sos live!» Ella said, proudly. She had been picking up money since 2016 for this moment. Her mom smiled. «At least you'll not spend another day on the coach.»
    Ella knew all the other girls would spend a month trying to find the perfect outfit. But she already knew what she'd wear. That pink crop top she bought for that concert, only. A jacket, cause it gets chilly at night and her favorite pair of jeans. Her make up tho, she was aware she's not very good at that, so she spent all day trying to figure out how she'll make the eyeliner look good, like those girls on Instagram and Pinterest always do. Once she managed it, she felt really confident. «Oh, I'm sure I'm gonna get a notice!» she thought as she added her lip stick. She then comped her hair, recently died blonde.

  •THE NEXT DAY•

Ella knew that she had to eat a full breakfast, as she'd spend the whole day out, at the concert and she didn't want to starve. She was too anxious to eat, but she put pressure on herself. «Maybe you shouldn't eat so much, as you'll spend the whole day jumping, screaming and dancing, you'll vomit!» her sister teased her. «Good food is never too much!» Ella answered and laughed. «Please take pics with Ashton Irwin and show me, fuck college, I wanted to come with you!» the younger girl whined. «Next time!». Ella finished her breakfast and walked to her room, streaming 5sos, as she was already in the mood. After a while, she headed to the bathroom to get a bath and then get prepared the way she had planned.
    On her way to the venue, her legs were shaking and her hands too. She soon arrived, gave her ticket and waited on her seat with her heart beating too loud and fast. The band gave a great performance, with lights going off and on, fireworks, back vocals, everything looked better than in her imagination! She was so happy and felt blessed she had the chance to attend this. After the show, she waited on the line, to meet the members of the band.
     She had already been waiting for two hours and her legs were starting to hurt. She was somewhat overweight and not used to standing for so long, so that was a band combination. She wasn't complaining because she was too happy to care. And then...She saw her! After starring for a few seconds,she gasped. «IS THIS...WHO I THINK THIS IS?» she screamed to the guy who was behind her. «Yeah I think so.» he answered. «I'm gonna go talk to her!» Ella said excitedly. «No, you'll lose your turn in the queue!» he objected. «It's worth the risk!!» she answered and ran after the woman she had seen. 
     «Are you Sierra Deaton?» she said, in complete awe of the moment. Sierra looked at her and smiled. «Yes! Nice to meet you, what's your name?» Ella couldn't find the words, she couldn't even speak. «E-E..Ella...» she managed to say in a trembling voice. Sierra smiled sweetly at her, hugged her and held her hand. «You should meet Crystal, KayKay, everyone really!» she said in an enthusiastic tone. «Are you always that nice to the fans?» Ella asked curiously and impressed. «Of course, where would we be without y'all?» The girl was clearly satisfied with the way Sierra turned out to be. So nice, and kind. After they talked for a while, she went back to the queue. She had lost her turn but oh well. She'd wait.
     When it finally was her turn she jumped out of excitement and went to introduce herself.  The first to talk to her, was Michael. They hugged and she even got her CDs signed by the whole band! Something no other stan had managed in the whole meet & greet. Excited as she was, she walked out of the venue.
«Where do you think you're going, fatty? Give me these CDs!» said a tall girl who had followed her. «Speak better, and these CDs are mine!» she answered, as the other one pushed her down. «Hey skinny, skinny. Too bad!» she answered, picking up Ella's CDs with no aim of returning them. «Can't believe they chose to sign for such an ugly fatass. They probably felt sorry for you.» she added, laughing as she shook her head and left the girl alone.
