Uncontrollable // Ed Sheeran

~ 3 ~

I was running late as hell and with a guitar on my back and my trakie bottoms now stiff with mud, struggling to get through the streets of London with any kind of speed.

How is it already 4.pm? Where did all the time go?

I knew that I needed to leave my appartement at 5.45pm at the latest to be at the venue for 6. That gives me an hour and three quarters, considering that my school was an hour and a half away for my appartement aka on the other side of London. I started to panic as I knew that I was never going to have enough time to get myself looking decent.

I finally got home and it was 5.35pm. I was still running late and was telling myself to stop being so paranoid about time.

Even though I hated the thought of not being to play a little before the concert I didn't want to look a complete mess. I quickly threw my clothes off and put on the first things I could find : a pair of height waisted black jeans, my DM's, a baggy white t-shirt and a grandpa cardigan. I still looked pretty rough but at least they were clean. I decided that I didn't have time for make-up so I just picked up my bag, phone and was out of the door.

All my panicking and speeding around had paused my excitement for a little bit. I still couldn't believe it, I had V.I.P tickets to see Ed Sheeran.

Does this mean that I'll get to meet him??

I arrived at the venue, 6.05pm and I was just about on time but I had no idea where to go. I looked around and saw a man who looked like he could help me standing at the main entrance of the building so I went over trying not to be too intimidated by the huge crowds.

"Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help. I have this ticket to get in to the concert but it's a V.I.P one and my friend sai-"

"Come with me miss" he cut me off and grabbed my ticket.

He had no expression on his face whatsoever.

I followed him inside the building and started going through some corridors.

Where is he taking me?

He pushed open this big black door and it came out into the area where the crowds stand. It was completely empty.

"Stand where you like miss, and then come to this door and show you're ticket after the show"

"Urm, ok.. but I'm the only one here?"

"The others will be let in in half an hour, at least you can make sure you get the best place to stand" and then he just left. I was alone in an empty concert hall, standing up waiting for Lara and Ed Sheeran. Well I wasn't expecting this.

I looked around and then decided to get up onto the stage. The hall looked so different up there, and it must be so intimidating with the crowd infront. But this is probably what Ed loves most. I thought back at how I always wanted to perform on stage when I was little, and how I used to sing in front of my friends and family, bit those days where lost and gone forever, but I closed my eyes and started to sing.

I then turned around and saw someone on the stage, I immediately stopped singing and was feeling so self conscious when I realised that it was kev, probably on stage to make sure everything was in place.

"Who are you and what are you doing singing on the stage?" He said looking at me confused.

I paused for a minute and the awkwardly replied.

"A man told me to come here, I mean like not on the stage to sing but um in here for half an hour before the concert."

He looked at me confused and just smiled.

"It's fine" he replied "only 5 more minutes left to go anyway. I'm kev, Ed's music technician"

"I know" I unwillingly bluntly responded but then smiled back at him.

He chuckeled again and said to enjoy the concert. I thanked him, but felt nervous about him hearing me sing. I should have thought about it before. I got down from the stage and stood in the perfect spot in the front row. And then the crowds started to join me.

Lara was next to me and I started to tell her about what had happened, and I'm pretty sure that she almost didn't belive me, especially about the singing. The Concert then started, Ed walked on stage. He began to sing and I was completely blown away.

«oh I'm a mess right now, inside out, searching for a sweet surrender but this is not the end..»
