Sunlight creeped through the curtains. The warmth touched your cheeks and ruined your sweet dreams. Yesterday, you were just a normal girl... Invisible, bored. Today, you were laying in a fluffy hotel bed in New York. You were still in shock, of course. It hit you in the face like a shovel. Did you really say yes and run away with this boy that you just met? Are you crazy?

A knock came at your hotel door. Snapping back to reality, harsh reality, you got up out of bed and put on a robe. You walked to the door hoping it wasn't Ed. You weren't ready for him to see you bare faced and half dressed. You opened the door...

"Good morning, Ms. Welsh! Everyone will be waiting downstairs. We'll be heading out for breakfast today.", one of the tour staff memebers, Joe, had come to your door every morning to tell you of the days plans.

"Good morning and thank you. I will be down as soon as I get dressed.", you closed the door gentle.

A feeling grew in your stomach. The same feeling as before, when Ed asked you to go on tour with him. You body was trying to tell you something. Maybe you weren't ready to be running away with a prince? You have to go back to your normal life, You'll tell Ed that these pst few days... the restaurants, shopping, and chats with his fans, had to end for you. You don't want people to think you're some gold digger.

You laugh at the word. You would have to let him down gently. Apologize. Hopefully not break his heart... your decision was final. Even if it was going to be difficult. You adore Ed, but you need time to think.... think. You're always just thinking. Why not do something crazy without a question. Just jump in... Give it a crazy chance. Be there and let it go. Let this love bloom into something true.

"I won't stop now!", you jumped up from your dark corner and ran over to your suitcase.

Chester was laying on the bed. Meowing at you to hush.

"I've never felt this way. Whenever I'm around Ed... Whenever his eyes meet mine, it's almost magic. All my life I've thought things through, but not anymore. I'm going to listen to my heart and my heart wants me to stay!", you put on some shorts and a worn out t-shirt, "I want to try.... not to ruin things like last time."

You put on your shoes and gave Chester a kiss. The day is your's... No one else's. Conquer it like a princess would.

You stood in the middle of the lobby with your messenger purse over your shoulder and your phone in your hand. The front doors were blocked off by crowds of fangirls. You weren't exactly sure if they were "Sheerios" or "Swifties", but you knew you would have to get through that to get to the car.

The elevator bell rang and echoed through the lobby. The doors separated to reveal the passengers. It was just Taylor and here "people". You were never sure what to call them, the people that followed here around, weither they were staff or bodygaurds... you just called them People. Ed always laughed whenver you said minions, so you had to change that. Taylor was sweet to you, very friendly, but it didn't seem like she liked the fact that Ed so recklessly brought you on the tour.

"Good morning, Taylor! How did you sleep?, you said with so much sugar that you probably gave her a cavity.

"Good morning Esmerelda!", Taylor replied with a smile under her black sunglasses. Words covered in red lipstick. "Are you joining us for breakfast?"

You hate when people called you by your full first name. She knew that; you could tell. "Yes... Where are we going?"

"Not sure. We'll find something on the way. I'll meet you two in the car.", with that, she was through the door as swallowed by the screaming fans.

The elevator bell rang again. The doors opened and there was Ed. All by himself... kind of. He had two bodygaurds with him of course.

"Good morning, love!", his voice rang through the lobby with a cheery echo. You loved that so much. You couldn't explain.

"Good morning! How is my darling teddy bear doing this fine morning?", your smile grew with every word.

"Good.... but hungry.", he laughed and you joined. "Our chariot awaits! Shall we?"

You took his hand and braced yourself for the screaming fangirls that you had not yet got use to.

As the doors opened and the bodygaurds stood stiff, the screams shook your eardrums. The girls saw the horrid scene. Ed holding a strange girls hand! What?! You started hearing words and questions being said with a nasty, harsh tone. Your heart sank. Technically, you considered yourself to be a Sheerio. You always cheered on Ed with his fans at meet & greets. Ever since Ed told you his "little" secret, you had been listening to his music and became even more in love with his soothing voice. You're a fan, too.

You both stepped into the van. You sat against the window, but before the driver could close the door... you stopped him.

"Wait!", you yelled over the crowd,"I want to tell you all something."

Fans, along with paparazzi, took out there phones and cameras.

"I want you all to know... That Ed really loves you all and... and he is really thankful for all the support, but please don't be so close minded. Don't think that I'm stealing him from you cause... He'll always belong to you more than any girl that he loves. What I'm trying to say is.... You love him, let him be happy... with your support."

You plopped your butt back in your seat and the door closed. Ed took your hand.

"You.... You're amazing.", you looked up into his blues eyes.

"But... they don't like me.", you could hear nothing from the crowd outside.

"Don't judge them so quickly." , Ed rolled down the car window. "They're pretty cool."

You looked out the window and all the fans started cheering. "ESSI! ESSI! ESSI!"

A smile grew on your face. "They like me.... SHEERIOS! SHEERIOS! SHEERIOS!", you started cheering them on instead.

You could see the look on Ed's face. He really loves his fans, so why not cheer them on for making his life so great. If it wasn't for them... He would have never came to America... and you would have never met your prince.

You rolled the window closed and waved them goodbye.

"You... are amazing.", you said as your lips met Ed's lips.

A sweet, strawberry taste. His arms wrapped around your waist. His little ginger chin hairs tickles your nose.

Ed pulled away. ".......Hello."

"Hello!"

The car pulled off... Your chariot... You were blushing in your seat, ready for the days plans.

In your Ginger Prince's arms....
