Little broken birds {ed sheeran & One direction fanfiction}

Chapter 5

In that moment, I could swear my heart was about to stop beating.

Yeah, I know it sounds cheesy, but he was just even more beautiful face-to-face.

“Hey, you must be Niall’s cuz. Imogen was it? I’m Ed” he smiled at me.

Be cool Iz, be cool. You don’t wanna be one of those crazy fangirls who just can’t talk because you finally met him.

“Erm yeah, I-I’m Isabella, but my friends c-c-call me Izzy.” That wasn’t too bad I guess.

I returned his smile. “Ah, I knew it was something like that, sorry.” He apologised for getting my name wrong. I Blushed. “That’s alright.”

he chuckled. “I may have never met you, but I’ve heard so much about you from the guys that it feels like we’re already good friends.” I could feel my cheeks burning even redder.

He could tell I was a bit embarrassed and just chuckled again. “Don’t worry, they haven’t told me anything bad.” He winked.

It was kinda ironic, the amount of girls he'd probably heard at concerts saying that they knew so much about Ed that they practically knew him, but this time he was the one saying it to a fan.

“So, do you wanna get a drink? It’s on me.” He offered sweetly.

“Aw that’s so kind of you, but I’ve literally just ordered this one.” For a moment he looked almost upset. But he quickly hid his emotion almost as quickly as it had appeared.

I wouldn’t have picked it up if I hadn’t known his facial expressions so well.

“Well, maybe a bit later then.” He smiled at me again.

“That’d be great” I reply.

All of a sudden I heard Cloe cough. Oops, I’d completely forgotten that she was there.

“Oh, this is my best friend, Chloe. Clo, this is Ed Sheeran.” They looked at each other and started giggling.

“Alright what am I missing here?” I demanded. Cloe cleared her throat, “we’ve already met each other.”

I looked at her, confused. She’d never met Ed before as far as I knew.

He noticed the confusion and explained. “I met Chloe a few years back, at one of my very first gigs in London. There were only about 15 people in the audience back then, and that was if I was lucky, so I had a chat with her.”

“I didn’t tell you I’d met him because until recently, well I didn’t realise it was him.” She explained.

“And I remembered her cause; well Cloe isn’t the sort of girl you forget.” He was blushing.

Great, I’d finally met the one celebrity I’d ever had a crush on, and he was flirting with my best friend.

How bloody typical?
