Unexpected (An Ed Sheeran fanfic)

Chapter 3

Then next morning, I woke up to the sound of banging and heavy footfalls. I sat up and looked around to find that my bed was the only thing left in my room! Wow, I must’ve been really tired last night! At that exact moment, my mom walked past my room!

“Hey mom!” I called to her. She came into my room and smiled.

“Good morning honey!” She said. “Sorry about the banging and such! We’re just trying to get all of our stuff out today so that we can leave later!” I nodded and swung my legs over the side of my bed.

“Well, I’m gonna get ready for the day now!” I said as I stood up and pulled my hair back into a high ponytail. My mom nodded and walked out of my room leaving me and my bed. I gathered some clothes and changed into them.

After I did this, I went downstairs to see that all the furniture was still there! This was going to be a loooong day!

After all the workers had finished moving our stuff, my mom called me to our now empty family room.

"Honey, I need to show you something!" She said excitedly. She waved her hands, showing me to follow her. I walked outside with her and she told me to close my eyes.

"What are you doing Mom?" She giggled and said to open my eyes. I gasped. Sitting in our driveway was a Lexus! "Mom! You got us a rental car?" I asked. She nodded and giggled again.

"You were right that I needed a new car..."I thought I heard her mutter under her breath. I laughed and hugged her. I knew it wasn't our car, but it was a new car to drive, so I was happy! "Let's get our luggage in here and get to the airport!" I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 10:30am!

We both rushed into the house and grabbed our suitcases. About 40 minutes later, we were both ready to leave. Our plane left at 1:00pm and it was 11:05am so we had some time to get to the airport, which was 30 minutes away.

As soon as we got there, we returned our rental car, (which apparently from the airport rental service!) and ran inside. It had been pretty slow in the highway, so it was already 11:50 now!

After we went through security, we found our gate and sat down. I got out my phone and checked twitter. I saw this tweet on my timeline:

@NiallOfficial: wow rushed to the airport today oops were always late

I laughed and replied to it saying:

@niallofficial I know exactly how you feel haha

I knew I wouldn't get any retweets or replies, so I put my phone back into my purse. After a moment, I heard my phone "DING!" I got it back out and checked it. It was a tweet!

@NiallOfficial: @MiaForeverBro yeh Louis is always the one who makes us late he's a problem sometimes ! Ha ha !

I stared at my screen for a moment, in shock. My mom looked over at me and cocked her head.

"Are you okay Mia?" She asked. I nodded and looked back at my screen. That can't be the real Niall Horan! I'm invisible. I replied saying:

@niallofficial: haha I could've guessed that :-)

I sent it and smiled. He replied to me! Me out of all the people on twitter! I was so happy, I couldn't stop smiling the whole flight to Seattle!

When we arrived in the airport, I heard chanting from somewhere. "ONE DIRECTION!" They yelled. I cringed and went the opposite direction. I hated big crowds! And by the sounds of it, that was a big one!

15 minutes later, the taxi we were in pulled up to an apartment building.

"Wow! Our first apartment!" I said. I know it's crazy! We've moved a lot but I've never lived in an apartment? Yeah, we're weird.

After an hour of sitting on the floor in our new apartment, I got up an walked to my mom.

"I'm super bored! So I'm gonna go for a walk!" I whined. I was a really impatient person! She nodded and waved me away. I opened our door and walked into the hallway. Our apartment was on the 7th floor! Letter D! So we were apartment 7D! (Haha if you say it, it sounds like seventy!)

I took the stairs on the way down because I needed some exercise after the long flight. As soon as I got outside, I felt more alive. I had always loved the outdoors! I walked along the tall buildings and people for about 15 minutes until I came across a secluded park down a small side street.

I knew it was dangerous, but I walked down the street and found the park empty except one bench and a broken swing. Pretty sad park! I sat down on the bench and took a deep breath. Finally alone!

Until I heard footsteps coming my way! I took a few deep breaths, trying not to panic. What if it was a zombie? Or a murderer? Oh stop it Mia! It's just a pedestrian! I took out my phone and pretended to text as the person sat down next to me.

"Do you mind?" A British man asked.

I shook my head and replied, "N-no! Go right ahead!" I noticed he had his hood up and held a guitar in one hand and a notebook in the other.

"Thanks!" He said cheerfully. I shrugged and crossed my legs. And then, the mystery man started to strum a familiar tune! The A Team by Ed Sheeran! I smiled, thinking about my favorite superstar.

But it took me by surprise when the man started singing. He sounded exactly like Ed! I looked over his direction and he stopped strumming his guitar.

"Am I bothering you?" I'll leave if I am!" He said politely.

"Oh! Um, no! You can stay! It's just amazing how you sound so similar to Ed Sheeran!" I said, surprised at my confidence in speaking to a stranger!

"You a fan, eh?" I shrugged.

"I just love how he writes his own music and makes it so personal to his experiences! If I had any music talent, I would want to be just like him!" I gushed out. Where did this new Mia come from?

"Well, giving him such a nice complement means you can't be that bad! I'm Ed by the way!" He said, taking off his hood. "Ed Sheeran!"

My mouth dropped in shock. Ed Sheeran was sitting on a park bench next to me. And he had sung one of his songs right there!

"W-wow!" I stuttered. "Umm, sorry for bothering you! I'll leave now!" As I stood to go, Ed grabbed my hand.

"No, I don't like playing all alone!" He said quickly. I smiled and sat back down.  For the first time, I didn't feel alone.

Ed and I sat on that bench talking for 3 hours and could've talked forever except that my mom called me asking where I was.

"Thanks for the nice talk Ed!" I said as I got up and smiled. Ed stood up too.

"Thanks to you too! That's the first time I've ever been able to talk to someone freely for a long time now!" He said as he picked up my purse for me.

"Well, I should probably go!" I said. I had gotten his number so we could talk, but I hadn't said anything to him particularly special to me. I was a hard person to open up! I was very reserved.

"See you soon, yeh?" He called as I walked off. I nodded and waved. As soon as I passed around the corner of the building, I giggled lightly. A few people looked at me strangely, but I just giggled to myself anyway.

As soon as I got home, I found my mom sitting in the middle of our living room with a few paint swatches. "Hey Mia! I've decided something! I think we're gonna stay here. Permanently!" I gasped.

"Really?" I asked. She nodded, grinning. "Thank you mom!" I hugged her for a few seconds until she wrenched me off of her.

"Why are you so giddy?" She asked. I shrugged and ran awkwardly to my new, empty bedroom. It had really fuzzy carpet so I laid down in the middle of the floor and just sat there until I fell asleep.

A/N:
