Love in the Skye (Ed Sheeran fanfic) [Part 2]

Chapter 12

Skye's POV:

We reached the venue and we got out of the bus. I held Ed's hand tight which was nice, as the last hand I held was Stuarts.. We walked in the back entrance as David parked the bus, finding Ed's dressing room.

The three of us, me, Ed and Stuart all sat down on the sofa. Ed pulled me into his lap and I tucked my legs up off the floor, trying to cuddle up as close as I could to him, making him smile. "This is your big London date Ed, some special surprises or something?", Stuart asked making Ed smile. "I'm going to do a cover of that song I gave to One Direction", he said quietly, as if he was trying to not let me hear. "Why did you give them a song?", I asked but he just shrugged, "no reason". I scowled but Stuart nodded, as if he knew what he meant. They must have talked about set lists for, I don't even know a good 20 minutes, which was why I think I fell asleep..

I opened my eyes to find myself laying across the sofa. "I told you and Ed not to stay up to late", Stuart said, laughing. He sounded like a parent.. I smiled and then looked around, "Ed?". Stuart stood up, "you missed his soundcheck, he's just gone on stage now". I quickly stood up, slightly loosing my balance as I did it a little too quick, being caught by Stuart. "Sorry", I mumble, making him laugh, "hurry up or you'll miss the surprise song!".

We quickly walked over to the wings and watched Ed perform his normal set. He got about half way through when he announced he was going to be singing this new cover. "I'm going to sing this with no mic, so be really quiet alright?", he said, putting down his mic. "This is for Skye!", he shouted, making me grin..

'Your hand fits in mine

Like it's made just for me

But bear this in mind

It was meant to be,

and I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

And it all makes sense to me'

He sung, making me cry. It was so silent I was pretty sure he could hear my sobs. As he started singing the chorus Stuart passed me a tissue. I laughed and wiped my eyes, trying to hold back any more tears I had. It was absolutely flawless.

Ed came off stage 2 or 3 songs later, grinning widely. "Hello sleepy head", he laughed, hugging me tight. "That was amazing Ed", I said softly making him smile, "thank you". We both walked towards his dressing room when we heard shouting. We stopped still as a teenage girl game running down the corridor. "Skye! Get out the way!", Stuart shouted. Ed pushed me away, making me stumble back and Stuart grabbed me, holding me close to him. It was that fan, she had got backstage.

"Ed!", she screamed. It wasn't me she was after this time, it was Ed. "Stuart! Let go!", I shouted but he wouldn't, Ed had asked him to protect me and that's exactly what he'd do. The fan ran at Ed and grabbed hold of him, hugging him tight. She knocked him back and he fell backwards. He shouted my name as he hit his head as the crazy fan fell right on top of him. "Ed?", I said loudly. No answer. "Ed!?", I shouted. Still no answer. The fan was dragged away by security as I wriggled out of Stuarts grip. "ED!?", I screamed at him, but still he didn't answer. He was out stone cold.
