Little broken birds {ed sheeran & One direction fanfiction}

Chapter 20

(Harry’s POV)

I’m glad that Izzy agreed to talk with Ed. I was worried that she’d say no and make a scene or something.

“Do you think she’ll believe him?” I ask Lou, since he was also quite close to Izzy now.

“I hope she does mate. It hurts to see her like this. I think that as long as he takes it a bit slower, she’ll be fine. It may take her a while to completely trust him, but if he’s careful she will eventually. She’s just…. Broken.” He replied.

I nodded back, hoping that Ed was clever enough to realise he couldn’t rush her.

“Do we have any food?!” someone suddenly yelled.

I didn’t even have to look over to see who it was. Mostly because of the Irish accent, but also because Niall is the only one who would ask about food when everyone was so tense.

“Niall, it’s your house…” Alice laughed.

Realisation flooded Niall’s face, “Oh yeah!” he exclaimed as he jumped up, running out to the kitchen, after giving Ali a peck on the cheek.

They were so good together.

Alice got along with everyone, well almost everyone.

Ed had never really accepted her. Don’t get me wrong, he was polite. I don’t think he could ever be rude to anyone. He just didn’t seem comfortable when she was with us. I can’t think why though.

 After 10 minutes Niall ran back into the living with 6 bowls of popcorn, one for Zayn and Perrie, one for Liam and Dani, one for Louis and El, One for Me and Chloe, One intended for Ed and Izzy, and then a much larger one for himself and Alice.

“Harreh, could you go and get the tray with all the drinks and other stuff on?” He mumbled to me while stuffing some popcorn into the hole he called a mouth.

I shrugged, “Sure.”

I got up and went out to the kitchen.

I looked out of the window to see how Ed and Izzy were getting on, to find that they were sat behind the big oak tree. The only thing that gave them away was Ed’s trainer poking out from behind the large tree trunk.

Well, Izzy hasn’t slapped him and ran back inside yet, so Ed must be doing something right. Maybe they were talking about James, or maybe even Ed’s ex-girlfriend.

I knew he’d been in a relationship about a year ago, how else had he written all of those amazing songs? But he’d never really told me any specifics, other than that they were together for four years since secondary school, and that he came back from tour to find her cuddled up with another man.

Ed was never one to push his problems onto other people, so he’d dropped the subject pretty quick when we’d started talking about it. But I could tell from his voice that he’d still had feelings for her, and that she’d broken his heart.
