SKINNY SKINNY/ASHTON IRWIN/SONG FICTION

✨10✨| FINAL PART

   After the show, Sierra followed the guys in the tour bus, still covered up. KayKay did recognize her, whatsoever. “What are you doing here?” she asked, noticeably annoyed. The other girl didn't say a word. She was following the role, hoping it'll work. When Ashton heard them, he rushed in. “I didn't know you mind.” he told the green haired girl,in a disappointed tone. “I don't mind.” she answered as unbotheredly as she could. “You know what, it's needless to hide her, if she will go, so shall I.” he said confidently. “Ashton, you don't have to...” Sierra rushed to say. She obviously was happy, anyone could tell. Her face was shimmering. But she was afraid, she didn't want anything to happen to him. “If they go, I'll go.” Luke added and stared at Calum, knowing he'd back him up. “If Luke goes I follow!” he said, acting up on his expectations. “Not that I could make a whole band being one person, but should they go, so shall I!” Michael also told them. Ella looked at him. “You could sing solo and everyone would come, so, don't underestimate how important this decision is!” she answered as she hugged him. She knew all of them were equally needed to support this plan, that she found extremely cute. However she loved to hug, or even  just stare at Michael. She loved that man more than she could describe.
    Noone had a choice but to accept that Sierra was there to stay. “Good thing my hair didn't need to be cut!” she joked, as she felt happy, loved and relieved. Ever since, things started to get better. She felt fully accepted, there were no problems and no arguments during her staying. She went to the shows, with the band and their close friends, she even attended the Meet & Greets.
   Ella was also feeling loved and accepted. She felt better waking up next to people she loved and knew they loved her back. However, she also missed her family at times, but not enough to want this to end. These people felt to her, like family too.

——————Two months later

The day for the last show had come. They were all happy and bitter at the same time. They didn't want this experience to be over, just yet. They had prepared everything right. The soundcheck, the music, the venue. Everything looked perfect. Purple, pink, blue, red, yellow lights all over the stage. Fireworks. It looked better than a dream. Ella felt it probably was an actual daydream. The show went on, everyone enjoyed it. As they were exiting, after it, the girl spotted that bully she had met after the show, and also after her failed booking, in the crowds. She traveled all the way there? She wasn't the only one to notice. The other girl had also seen her. She walked up to her and looked at her, all over from head to toes.
—So you're here.
Before she could answer, Michael looked at her.
—She's here and next time you feel like you're having a say in this, you'll be banned.
He said, as he held Ella's hand and she was feeling heavenly lucky, to have him by her side to defend her and to support her. The girl froze and looked at them
—You-you know her, I mean...I didn't know I'm sorry, I...
Ella looked at her and didn't say anything. Just shook her head for a few seconds. “Too bad.” she thought and chuckled a little bit. It was funny to her how all that bully's “bravery” was erased so easily. She didn't care much about her though. What mattered to Ella, was she had these amazing people around her for a few more moments and then she's had to go back home. It was nice to see her family after two months but she'd surely miss them more than she could take. As they were very important to her and she was feeling used to-in a good way- having them next to her.
—Hey, I have to get going...
she said as she picked her last clothes from the tour bus.
—We can take you to the airport.
One of the guys said and she agreed, as she needed to spend as much time as she could with them.
She walked in the airplane and it got lost in the blue, white, grey and light pink shades on the clouds.

     “Ella, wake up! You're gonna miss your first 5sos show!! Please get up!” Ella's sister jumped up and down in her bedroom. Ella opened her eyes, sleepily. Had she dreamt of all that, the day she stayed up watching shows, because she couldn't sleep? Maybe she should leave the music on more often when she sleeps, that was hell of a dream! She walked to the bathroom to wash her face and get ready. “I hope they're actually as kind to me” she thought, as she opened her bag, to put in her CDs...And then she saw it. They were signed...

   Was it real? Was it not? It doesn't matter. What matters is, confidence won't come to you, if you change your body, hair, face. It'll only come if you change your toxic habits and build a healthy circle for yourself. And now, she knows that.

She exited the house, with “SKINNY SKINNY” playing in her headphones, dancing her way off to the venue. Weird that... This girl who looked at her and said, "wow, I love your hairdo!" looked identical to the bully.
