Thinking Out Loud // Ed Sheeran

Chapter 46.

Sorry for not updating in a while, I've been in a lot of emotional pain from Zayn because he's alwasy been there for me just like Teddy. But listening to Teddy's music has really helped me through this whole drama, and I'm happy and proud of Zayn for standing up and taking what he needs rather than what everyone else needs. <3

Meredith's POV

"Merebear. Wakey wakey." I hear Ed's soft voice ring through my ears. You know when you wake up and before you open your eyes, you just don't feel anything? Yeah, well that's me right now. Slowly opeing one eye, I see Ed right in my face with a huge smile on.

"Usually you're the morning person and I take forever to wake up." He laughs. Rolling my eyes, I take time to notice I'm still in bed laying on my side with a pillow under my head.

"Hey, well yesterday was a huge day for like a million reasons, Teddy. Give a girl her sleep." I huff sarcastically. "But, if you didn't know, once I wake up I can't go back to sleep in the mornings. So thank you for ruining my beauty sleep." I say like a deva.

"You don't need beauty sleep, Mere. You're already beautiful." I can see a little glimmer in his eyes as he speaks.

"Stop being so cheesy." I giggle.

"Hey! Being cheesy is really good for writing love songs." He defends, crossing his arms over his chest. I manage to pull myself out of bed and head straigh to the bathroom. Washing my face quickly, I apply a small amount of make up before going back to our room.

"How do you get dressed so fast?!" I yell at Ed as I see him already laying back on the bed in black jeans, a white tee-shirt and a blue and black flannel unbuttoned over it.

"I don't put so much thought into my outfits, little miss fashionista." He says making my laugh to the point of tears. I shake it off and pick out cloths. I need to look good for this interview things today, can't embarrass myself on national television.

Picking out a tight marroon spaghetti top, a black skater skirt, grey leggings and my black boots, I get dressed. After pulling my hair out of the messy bun it was in, I brush it and let the curls fall loose. Then, I clip back my bangs with a black bow and put on some black rimmed glasses.

"What's the time, Teddy?" I ask him not looking away from myself in the mirror.

"It's 10:45 right now, we should leave around 11:30 because the interview is at 12:30 and it takes like twenty minutes to get there." He replies just as I turn around.

"Why do we have to get there so early?" I whine pulling my black leather jacket out of the closet and draping if over my shoulders.

"Because they have to do our make up, Amy has to go over what not to answer and what not to say and then we need to hit the food table before all the good stuff is gone." He says with all seriousness. I try holding in my laughs while walking out into the hall.

"You would, Teddy. You would." I reply going upstairs. I hear Ed following close behind. As I step out into the hall, I'm greated by Graham rubbing against my ankles and the smell of freshly cooked pancakes. Walking out into the kitchen, I see Jasmine.

"I made us all food." She smiles at me. Sitting down at the table I pile my plate with pancakes as she places another stack of them on the table. Not long after, everyones at the table. Jades to my left, Ed's to might right. Shannon and my dad are across from us, and Oliver and Jasmine are on either end.

"Thanks, Jaz." I manage out through my stuffed mouth.

"You're welcome." After breakfast, Ed and I head out to get to the interview on time, or really just to get all the good food.

"I know we've already been over this, but what of something bad happens? Like, what if I burb in mid sentence, or I fall off the seat? What if I have something in my teeth the whole time, or if-" I pause due to his voice.

"I'll be there for you the whole time, Merebear. Nothing to worry about." He replies. Sometimes I believe Ed's a magician because he can use his voice to change your own emotion. Like, he has this unstable voice that makes you angry, a voice with sorrow to make you sad, a loving voice that makes you happy and a soothing voice that makes you calm.

"Okay, I'm just nervous." I say quietly, almost shy.

"Well, you should see the embarrassing things I've done of telly, and people still stand by me. One time, I played a clip of myself singing when I was thirteen and... wow. I hope you never have to hear that, because I don't want your ears to bleed." He says so casually that I burst into laughter.

"I understand that, because that's the same reason I don't sing around you now."

"What?! I've heard you sing Mere, you were amazing!" He shouts making me jump. It was so calm for once, until that.

"Geez, so loud, Teddy." I giggle before noticing something. "Wait when did you hear me sing?" I asked in a hurried tone.

"Well... I- I um, heard you singing in the shower." Coughing, he scratches the back of his neck to try covering the whole situation up.

"Damn, I'm so used to living alone that I forgot not to sing in the shower." I reply truthfully. "I can assure you, that will not happen again. Ever."

"Please, just sing for me. Like, you don't have to sing for anyone except for me." He begs taking his eyes off the road for a few second to examine my own face, then back to the road. "You were amazing."

"You're my boyfriend, Teddy. You have to say I'm good." I huff using my signature move of crossing my arms over my chest in defeat.

"No, I could tel you you suck, but you don't. I'm all about hurting peoples feelings, but I'm all about honesty as well."

"You? Hurting peoples feelings? Never in a milllion year would I see that, and you know it." I laugh sarcastically. Ed is one of the sweetest people I've ever met, I don't think I've seen him be mean before. Well, I've seen him mean like once, maybe twice. I've seen him angry, sad, happy, cute, ect. Basically the whole package.

"Whatever, I can be mean if I try."

"That's the problem. Being mean is supposed to come naturally." I laugh out.
