*Flash forward Wednesday, March 13, 2013.*

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a white, lacy shirt that was tucked into high-waisted black shorts. I couldn't be any happier.

I kept putting on red lipstick. I was stressing out, this being the very first night of the RED Tour.

I picked up my black hat and I heard a knock on my dressing room door.

"Hello?" I was still applying red lipstick to my lips, and blotting them.

"Hey, Taylor. Just wanted to say hello before the concert." Ed smiled and dragged his hand on my desk that had makeup on it.

"Hi, good luck, by the way! I can't believe it's already here..." I smiled at two pictures that were on my wall. One was from the Fearless Tour, and the other one Speak Now. All of a sudden, memories started pouring in from all directions about touring. I remembered how much I sincerely LOVED it.

"Good luck to you, too!" Ed leaned in for a hug and I gave one to him. He let out a light laugh and then headed towards the door.

"Thank you. And I'll see you when we perform Everything Has Changed!" I grinned and he left.

I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before I went out to see my mother and everyone else.

"The RED Tour." I whispered to myself and straightened my hair.

Before I knew it, I was up and the touring rush came and hit me full force. I couldn't stop smiling.

"Omaha, Nebraska! You've been an AMAZING crowd tonight! But unfortunately I have to leave now. I'll see y'all later!" I blew a kiss to everyone in there and my stage lifted me down into the under-stage.

When I was down there, I saw the smiling faces from everyone. My dad, my mom, my brother, Ed, and a few other dancers.

I screamed and jumped around. "THAT WAS AWESOME!"

Everyone laughed at my reaction and I hurried up to get ready for Club Red.

"You did amazing!" Ed said and hugged me.

"Thank you! You did great, too," I smiled and his eyes were lit up like fireworks. I blushed at them.

"Wanna talk or something after Club Red in your tour bus?" he asked while we both walked alone to my dressing room.

"Um, sure. I'm pretty tired out though. Don't know how long I'll be awake for!"

Ed laughed, "OK, sounds good!"

When Ed and I arrived at Club Red, the fans went wild. I absolutely loved seeing fans. They were the reason I was even here.

"Hey, guys!" I smiled while they freaked out. I took pictures and signed some things and then hung out for a while. I couldn't stop yawning.

"Hey, y'all, I have to leave, I'm sorry! You guys were so awesome you tired me out! I love you!" I walked out and could hear them squealing with excitement.

"Ed?" I looked for him in the parking lot. Most of the people who were at the concert were already gone.

Ed had left about halfway through Club Red.

"Boo!" Ed jumped out from behind one of my touring buses.

"OH MY GOD, ED!" I shouted and hit his shoulder. "Dude. Don't do that to me!"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist," he started cracking up.

"So are we going into my tour bus or what?" I walked past him even though he was still laughing.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Ed entered my tour bus and sat down on a couch by the TV.

"You're not sorry," I sang and laughed at a joke involving one of my old songs.

"I have a fun idea," Ed said.

"Oh, and what is that, Mr. Sheeran?"

"We should write a whole album together, tell everyone, and never ever release it. It'll make them all go crazy!" Ed laughed.

"Ed, I'm seriously thinking you're sick..." I couldn't stop laughing, probably because I was so tired and getting punchy.

"What can I say," I put on a comfy sweatshirt and sat down on the couch next to him. We were about a foot away. I liked it like this, no pressure of keeping up with a difficult relationship. But I bet it wouldn't be that hard to have a relationship with Ed.

"Taylor," Ed said right as I was about to doze off.

"Yeah?" I said, half asleep.

"I need to tell you something, seriously."

"Anything," I said and yawned. I laid my head on a pillow that was near Ed.

"So in October...about a week after your album release date...I got a girlfriend."

"What?!" I exclaimed. That snapped me back to reality.

"Her name is Vanessa. She's very friendly. I want you to meet her, if you're up to that."

My body went numb and I wanted to cry. I pretended I didn't really care and teased, "I hope you don't mean tonight,"

"Nope," Ed laughed, "In a week or something. Whenever you're not busy,"

"Um, okay. I'll see when I'm free and I'll call you." I smiled.

"Thanks, Tay. This means a lot to me." Ed smiled innocently and I wanted to hug him to death. "Oh, and... We're dating in secret. You can't tell anyone."

"You can trust me," I yawned and curled up into a ball on the couch. Ed looked down at me and laughed.

"Thank you. Well I think I'll let myself out. You're already going to sleep," he laughed and I got up.

"OK, I'll see you tomorrow." I smiled and got up off of the comfortable couch. We hugged and my stomach did a back-flip.

"Goodnight." Ed said and smiled. Something was different. This feeling in my stomach, making me want him even more than I did back in October.

We both stared at each other for a little and he left my room.

I fell on my bed and just stared at the ceiling for a while.

Wow. Ed has a girlfriend. I was happy for him, but jealous of his girlfriend.

I went to sleep after only a few minutes and tried to keep Ed out of my mind.
