Listening Small Bump right now..
I don’t know why I’m doing this to myself.
I don’t like singing along to Ed Sheeran because then I can’t hear his beautiful voice and the amazing music :c
Is it wrong for me to be annoyed that Ed Sheeran is gaining popularity now?
Don’t get me wrong, he’s fantastic. His work is incredible given his age and the short amount of time he’s spent in the industry, and I would definitely want him to do well.
BUT.
His music has acted as a solace for me…
Chapter 1~ Finally
It was 3 in the afternoon on a rainy Friday. I was watching season 2 of Friends on DVD. It was rainy so I couldn’t do anything outside of my apartment. Even if I was watching Friends, I still felt bored. Rupert and Ed were busy. I missed them so much. We have been friends since God knows when. Even though we haven’t really hung out that much this year due to undeniably great circumstances. We still make time to meet each other up whenever they had days off or whenever it was festival season. Rupert was busy handling new movie projects and Ed was busy gigging and I was busy boring myself off. Actually, I was kind of busy with writing a book but then being the lazy person that I was I just couldn’t write an 80,000 word book.
The episode ended and I was kind of tired of doing nothing the whole day so I stood up, got the DVD out of the player and went to my bedroom. I was thinking of what I could do today, then a knock came at my door. I hurriedly answered it and was so happy that he came. Ed was back!
“Oh my God! What are you doing here?! When did you get back? I am so glad to see you!” I said as I gave him a big hug. “Wow… aren’t you soaked.” his clothes and beautiful ginger hair was wet as a sponge.
” Hey, Emithy. I just got back now actually. I went straight here ‘cause it was raining and I couldn’t really travel that far back to my parents home. I haven’t got anymore money you see. And what do you mean what am I doing here… It’s already festival season. Don’t you remember?” he said as he went inside and put his guitar and his bag down. “Do you mind if I sit down?”
“Is it? Already? Wow I guess I have been really stuck in my apartment for so long and no, not at all.” I said realizing how completely slow I was being. He slumped on the sofa incredibly exhausted.
“You want me to make you some tea?” I asked.
“That would be lovely.”
I boiled water and got two mugs from the cupboard and got some teabags from the pantry. I went back when the tea was ready and out it on the table in front of us. I sat down he looked awfully… different the last I saw him.
“You seem tired. What happened?” I asked
“A lot of stuff.” he answered with a slightly smug look on his face.
“Like what?” I urged.
“First of all I just got back from a 3 hour train ride and I couldn’t even sleep ‘cause the lad kept kicking the back of my seat to the beat of a Greenday song… It wasn’t acoustic… I could tell.”
“Kids today.” I said almost giggling. “You seem bothered what else happened? Come on I haven’t seen you in like what? Three months. That can’t be the only thing that happened to you.”
“I broke up with my girlfriend.” he said in a serious tone. “Well, actually We decided to break up with each other.” he looked at my expression, and gave off a little laugh. “You should seriously see your face. It is wickedly hilarious.” he said to cut the tension a bit “Yeah, we just noticed that it wasn’t working out already and that it was going to crumble any time soon. So before anyone got hurt we just decided to end it.”
“Shit,man. That was a good four years. That must hurt a bit.” I said in reply.
“Not really I mean it hurts a little bit, but not that much. She said that she wanted to go to college and finish her studies and I wanted to make music. It would’ve never worked out anyway if we continued it.”
“When did you guys break up?” I asked
“2 months ago.” he said
“2 months ago and you didn’t even bother to tell that to me and Rupert?” I asked in disbelief.
“I texted Rupert about it! I was just scared to tell you.”
“I’ll let that slip ‘cause I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“Thank God!” he said looking quite relieved.
“Do you know when Rupert is coming back?” I asked to change the subject.
Just after I asked his phone rung. He held up his palm for me to wait so I kept quiet. “Speaking of Rupert,” he said after checking his text. “He says he’s coming back today too.”
“And?” I asked eagerly.
“That’s it. That’s all he said.” he answered. He was about to put the phone down on the table when it rang again. This time it was a call. “It’s Rupert.” he said to me
“Hey, mate! How’s everything going?… Yeah, I’m at her place… Sure…” he put the it his phone on speaker and laid it on the table.
“Hey, Em!” Rupert said.
“Hey, Rupe! Are you coming here?”
“Yeah, I’m with Georgia.” he said
“Hey, guys!” Georgia said.
“Hey!”
“We’re about 2 hours away. I guess that’s enough time for you two to catch up with stuff. We’ll be there in a bit. Bye.”
“Bye.” and the line was dead.
“I think we caught up with enough stuff… I don’t mean to be rude but, do you mind if I go to sleep?” Ed asked.
“Yeah, sure you can sleep on the bed .”
“The sofa’s fine.”
“Well you can’t have it.”
“Why not?”
“‘Cause I know you haven’t slept on a real bed in 3 months.!”
“Hey!… Well not really 3… maybe 2 and a half… Oh, fine!”
“You’re welcome.” I said with a smile.
“Thank you.” he said with an even more cheekier smile. He got up picked up his tea and walked to my bedroom. He closed the door and I heard him collapse on the bed.” Have a good sleep” I said
I put my mug down on the table. I put a pillow on the end of the sofa and rested my head on it. I closed my eyes and I drifted off.
I woke up because someone was shaking me lightly. I opened my eyes and Georgia was waking me up.
“Hey, guys. Sorry, dozed off a bit.” I said while trying to sit up.
“It’s fine. Where’s Ed?” Rupert asked.
“He’s in the bedroom. Don’t wake him up. He was so exhausted when he came here. He needs all the rest he can get.”
“He really has been working hard, hasn’t he?” Georgia asked.
“Music is his life I guess.”
“His life?” Rupert asked in disbelief “He can’t even last 5 seconds without his guitar.” he said with a laugh
“Sit down. I’ll make you guys some tea.” I stood up and walked to the kitchen. I heated some water in the kettle and put two mugs down. I went back to the living room.
Rupert suddenly stood up and hugged me. “God! I missed you guys so much.”
“Well, then let’s not kill me. Seriously, dude I can’t breathe.” he let me go and sat down again.
“He’s been homesick for a few days that’s why he’s acting this way. I do apologize on his behalf.” Georgia said jokingly
“I understand.” I said playing along. The bedroom door opened and Ed came out looking well rested.
“‘Morning.” Ed said
“It’s 5:30 pm.” I said
“‘Morning to you too.” he said. Rupert sat up and almost ran to hug him.
“I missed you so much Ed!” Rupert said with a huge smile on his face. A shocked reaction spread across Ed’s face that woke him up.
“I’m getting worried about Rupert.” Georgia said to me in a whisper.
“Me too. But I think he’ll be fine.”
“I am glad to see you too. I think our hugging has satisfied both of us.” Ed said and Rupert let him go and sat down again. Ed hugged Georgia and greeted her.
“It’s been a long time guys! Still going strong I see.” Ed said to both Rupert and Georgia.
“Fine I guess” she replied back with a smile at Rupert and he smiled back.
We talked caught up and joked around until Rupert’s phone rung. He checked who it was.
“It’s my sister. Why would she be calling?” he answered it “Hello?… WHAT!!??” he said screaming.
Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift recording in L.A.
They are just… I can’t even… Perfect… Just simply, undeniably PERFECT…
“You said to us once before that there was time to turn back if we wanted to. We’ve had time, haven´t we?”
