Friday, February 1st 2008, 5:12pm.

Friday night, first night of February, I hope this month will be better than last month. Amen.

When I just about to play the guitar, my phone rang the sign of new message. I saw his name on the screen giving me a big smile on my face. Instantly, I reply his text.

"Friday night and I'm free. I don't mean to screw up your relationship with Mark, but" he success making me laugh.

"You better screw it up to make it more easier if you know what I mean. Pick me up then?"

"Ok, I'll be there as fast as cat does." His obsessed with cats came out. A big smile expand on my face.

"You mean Garfield? Hahaha, jk. Lol."

"I want to be Puss In Boots."

"Garfield + Puss In Boots equals Edward Sheeran. Come on pick me up!"

"I'm in front of your house. Can you hear the bell? Your brother now is on stair going to your room." I don't really believe in this. He's already in front of my house? It takes about 15 minutes from his flat to my house.

"Alice! Ed is here!" My brother shouted outside my room. Omg he's right.

"Yeah ok!" I wear anything I hang behind the door rashly. I run downstairs with my camera hang around my neck. "Sorry if you wait-" I think I just got a heart attacked by his looks. I bet my cheeks turns red. I don't know what happened with my heart, suddenly it's beating faster. Just by his simple looks, that plain polo jacket, that rolled-up jeans, that messy hair, that smile, and those eyes.

"New boyfriend?" Alex, my little brother, asked me. I want throw a brick at his face.

"Ssshhh! No!" I saw Ed just laughed. "On the way to that" I whispered at Alex, he smiled. "I bet you'll get comfortable with him, because he likes video games. And he's great at that." I winked at Ed and put my hand on his shoulder.

"I need to challenge you one day!" Alex said with higher note

"We should!" They shake hands. Ok, I don't know what's going on around them.

"Ok Ed, let's go." I pushed his back slowly.

"Um, Ed!" Alex screams when we about to leave the house.

"Yea?" He turned back his head.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Where are we going by the way?" He asked to me while walking down the sidewalk.

"Ummm... I want something-"

"Omg are you Ed Sheeran?! I watched your gig on last week! I think I just fell in love with you! Omg please sign my phone case!" Two girls screamed over Ed. Those two girls goes crazy giving their phone case that stick on their phone and also giving a black mark.

"Ok, thank you." He said signing the phone cases. I just smiled.

"Is she your girlfriend?" One of them asked Ed. We both surprised.

"Hahaha. Not yet?" He replied. He just made those girls getting more crazier.

"I'm Alice." I said smiling.

"I'm Caitlyn"

"And I'm Shannon." We are shaking hands.

"You guys are so cute! I ship you two!"

"Ok, thank you so much, I'll see you guys later then?" He said helding my hand and walked forward.

"Thank you so much Ed, Alice! So nice to meet you!"

"So nice to meet you guys too!" He waves at them. I love how he can make people happy, include myself.

"Someone's get famous here." I said satirize.

He kept silent. Ok, I don't know what's going on. He kept looking straight forward.

"Ed?" I said pursed my forehead.

"Oh you're talking to me?" He said and then laugh. I fell on his prank again.

"Damn you, Ed Sheeran." I punched his arm. That evil laugh he spit out makes me want to stab his throat.

"Ok, where are we going?" He turned into a serious guy from a joker. He can change his personality in a second.

"Ummm.. I want tea."

"And some sushi?"

"Omg yes."

Is this called a date? Like what Nina told me in the hallway at my school where Mark punched me that time? My heart and my brain is such a mess this past weeks, especially since I met Ed on the balcony at that party that night. Half of my body comfortable with him, and the other not. I'm scared if something bad will happened to him if I was with him, or maybe friend with him. I don't want him to get hurt. He's too kind. Too soft. Too nice to people. He doesn't deserve to get hurt. But why I'm so comfortable with him? Why he let me slept in his flat? On his couch? On his lap? Does that mean he gets comfortable with me? I don't know. Only God and time can answer.

"Alice?" He break my daydream while I'm sitting on the bus. Weird things came up to my mind and it's on awkward situation. "Your phone rings for so many times. You got text." I just aware.

"Oh, ok, ok, thank you, I'm sorry." And then I took off my phone from my pocket. Mark's name showed up on the screen. I'm in a big trouble. What if he looking for me.

"I went to your place and your brother said you go out with that faggot Ed Sheeran."

"Why you aren't answer my text?"

"Hey tell me where you are."

"Go home and leave that faggot alone. He doesn't deserve you. And you doesn't deserve him."

"He doesn't have any feeling to you."

"Go home, or he'll get hurt. And make him gone in your life."

"Stay away from him, don't meet him, so I won't do anything to him. And also, I won't slap, or maybe punch you again."

 God why he have to be this mean? I still want to be with him. But I don't want anything bad happen to him. What am I supposed to do. I don't want anything bad happen to him, at all. No. I don't want him to gone in my life. I couldn't imagine life without him. I'd be bullied each hours and ended up killed myself.

"You need to go home Ed."

"But I don't have home."

"Your flat, oh Ed please think a bit don't be such a fool all the time." I start to feel stertorous around my chest. I took deep breaths. "Shit." I said stood up and go to the driver.

"Alice?" I heard him shouted my name, but I'm ignored him, I don't have any time.

"Can you please pull over?"

"O..Ok"

"Alice what happened?" I'm just aware, my phone is not in my pocket, I turned my head and I saw Ed holding my phone. I run slowly toward him, I could not run too fast because I ran out of breath.

"Ok, if this is what you want. I think you're more safe if you're not with me." Slowly everything went black in my eyes. Everything's blurred. I could not see his face again. I could not see the world. It's dark, it's all dark.
