ELEANOR'S POV-------------------------
I yawned opening my eyes and taking in the light. I sat up and stretched my arms letting out another huge yawn.
I reached for my bedside table and grabbed my phone, turning it on. I noticed a recent new message from the one person i wanted to hear from.
From: Nathan
To: Eleanor
Morning beautiful. Hope you and the little one had a good sleep. Thinking of you
I bit my lip with a giggle before writing a message back.
From: Eleanor
To: Nathan
Morning, we're both okay thanks, hope you are too. Tell everyone i'm missing them and remember we love you so much
I reread the message before sending it. I pushed the duvet covers off me and made my way to the bathroom.
I plastered a coat of Colgate minty toothpaste on my brush before scrubbing my teeth. I put my toothbrush in the pot and rubbed face wash on my face.
I splashed it off with water before running myself a nice warm shower and jumping in. Once i was satisfied i was done, i wrapped a fluffy towel around my body and walked back into my bedroom.
I sat at my dressing table and blow dried my hair before walking to my wardrobe and picking out a sleeveless white lace peplum shirt, some denim jeans and some beige boots.
I brushed my hair and tied half up like usual. I clipped my side fringe to the side with a few bobby pins. I applied some pencil liner, liquid eyeliner and mascara to my eyes and a chapstick with a tint of pink.
I jogged downstairs and hear my IPad ringing. I walked over to it,
Nathan wants to facetime you.
Accept
Decline
I clicked accept and not only his image came up, but Dad's, Karen's, Jess', the boys', Kelsey's and Nareesha's. They were all together.
"Hi!" they all chorused. "Hey guys, how you all doing?" i giggled positioning the IPad so i didn't have to hold it.
"Good"
"Brilliant"
"Fine" they all answered.
"How are you?" asked Karen. "I'm brilliant yeah" i shrugged going to the fridge and taking out a pot of strawberry and raspberry yogurt. I then poured some almond nuts into a bowl and sat in front of the IPad.
"Your not taking on too much are you? Because you can't stress out now your pregnant" my Dad fussed. "Dad chill. I'm not, i'm absolutely fine" i chuckled eating a spoonful of my yogurt.
I looked up when i saw the front door open. Thankfully it was only Mike. "Morning precious" he smiled walking around to the side of the counter i was sat at, placing bags he was carrying down.
"Hey Mike" everyone greeted him. "Oh gosh didn't know you were there, Hi guys" he waved taking a seat beside me.
"I know you may not want to talk about this" Dad started, "But it's your mum's funeral next week".
Everybody went silent.
I cleared my throat looking down and placing an almond into my mouth. I look back up at everyone with sad looks on their faces.
"I guess i should go" i finally answered. "You don't have to if your not comfortab-" i cut my dad off "She was my mum, Dad. Plus i want to go" i shrugged. "Well as long as your sure. I will email you all the details" he finished.
I nodded with a smile. After awhile more of talking we ended the Face time chat. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I stood up and walked over, opening it i gasped at the face i saw;
Kourtney Kardashian.
"Hi, I'm Kourtney i live just down the road from here" she held a vase of flowers and a box of chocolates. "Y-Your, Kourtney Kardashian. O-Oh my god!" i held in my squeals.
"Yes" she chuckled and held out her hand which i shook. "Come in" i smiled standing a side and she came in. I closed the door and we sat on the stools in the kitchen.
"So you live down the road?" i asked. "Yes, me, my boyfriend Scott and my son Mason" she answered. "Yeah, I kind of watch your TV show" i admitted. "Really? That's amazing" she giggled highfiving me.
"Anyway i've heard your song Run" she spoke. "Oh yes" i smiled. "Its fantastic, and the relationship you and Nathan share is super adorable!" she added. I felt my cheeks heat up.
"How's married life?" she questioned. "Yeah its good i guess" i shrugged munching on an almond. "We haven't told anyone yet, but i'm actually pregnant" i whisper.
Kourtney clamped her hand over her mouth and when she removed it, she had a huge grin plastered on her face. "Congratulations!"
"Thanks" i laughed. "I think we're going to get on just fine" she high fived me again. "Anyway, I better get off, Mason's due his nap and he can get very cranky" she chuckled standing up.
"Alright well thanks so much for coming over" i smiled hugging her. "Your welcome" we walked to the door and she left.
I felt something buzz in my pocket, i take out my phone to see;
Incoming Call
Mike
I answered and put the phone to my ear. "Hello?"
"Hey hun its me, just calling to let you know you are performing to a few groups of your fans, not just Run but some covers if your okay with that?"
"Yeah totally, when shall i be ready?"
"I will pick you up in an hour"
"Alright see you soon, Bye!"
"Bye" he replied before he hung up.
***
One hour later...
I rush out to the car which Mike was in. He opened the door for me and i climbed inside. Once the driver had closed it, he started the engine and we began moving.
After a long 20 minute drive we finally arrived at the venue. I peered out the window to see and hear screaming fans and the clicks of paparazzi's cameras.
The door opened and i climbed out causing the screams to erupt louder. I waved at everyone going over and taking pictures with a few people.
Mike and I were escourted into the venue and into a cosy room full of chairs and a stage with a single chair and microphone on a stand there.
"This is cosy" i giggled walking on the stage and sitting down. I watched as people piled in and seated, several crying just at the sight of me which i found adorable. Once everybody was in, we could start.
"Hey everyone" i spoke. "I'd just like to start by saying thank you so much for being here today, and lets get started! first is Run" i get myself comfortable.
The soft piano music began to play and i tapped my foot getting myself into the rhythm before i began singing;
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
I opened my eyes to cheers and claps. "Thank you" i speak into the microphone. "Er, now lets see" i scan my eyes down the song list.
Run
A Thousand Years
The Way
Lady Marmalade
Grenade
ABC
Love The Way You Lie
"Lets do a fun song, lets do ABC next" i answered placing the paper down and standing up, taking the microphone off the stand. Everyone cheered and the funky background music started.

I chuckle as everyone screams and cheers. I thanked them and sat back on the stool. "Now for you lucky lot, i get to do my very first, exclusive full performance of my upcoming single The Way so i hope you enjoy it" i put the microphone back on the stand.
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
You give me that kind of something
Want it all the time, need it everyday
On a scale of one to ten I'm at a hundred
Never get enough, I can’t stay away
If you want it, I got it, I got it everyday
You can get whatever you need from me
Stay by your side, I’ll never leave you
And I ain’t going nowhere 'cause you’re a keeper
So don’t you worry, baby, you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (hey)

When you put your lips on mine
And, honey, it ain’t a question (q-question)
'Cause, boy, I know just what you like
So If you need it, I got it, I got it everyday
Be your lover, your friend, you’ll find it all in me
Stay by your side, I’ll never leave you
And I ain’t going nowhere 'cause you’re a keeper
So don’t you worry, baby, you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (hey)
And I don’t care who sees it, babe

The way I love you.
The cheers erupted again and i smiled. I sung Lady Marmalade, Grenade and Love The Way You Lie. Leaving the final song, A Thousand Years
"Now, this is the final song and it is my favourite song by far. It means a lot to me and reminds me of a lot of amazing people in my life. So here's the last song of the afternoon, It's A Thousand Years!" everyone cheered.
The gentle music started, i closed my eyes taking it in. I began to sing;
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I look across the room to see, Nathan?
I let out a small gasp but continued singing as it was coming to the end of the song.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Whilst the final instrumental was playing, i hopped off my stool and ran down the gap in between the two sides of seats. Once i reached Nathan, he lifted me up and spun me around. Everybody awed and clapped with loud cheers.
He put me down but kept us in the same position, his head buried into my neck. I felt tears stream down my face, tears of happiness words couldn't describe how happy i was to see him.
I realized he was crying too. We pulled away and sniffled looking at each other but with wide smiles.
We walked to the front of the room and the fans left the venue leaving just the two of us, Mike and a few members of staff who worked at the place.
His arms remained wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck. "I'm so happy to see you" i let a single tear slip down my cheek.
"I couldn't bare being without you and the little one for so long. I had to come and see you" he wiped the tear on my cheek away with his warm thumb.
He cupped my face with his soft hands and pressed his lips against mine for a good minute. He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.
"I love you Eleanor Rosalea Sykes"
"I love you too, Nathan James Sykes"
