My phone starts ringing and when I look down at it and see that it is my friend from America so I quickly answer "GUESS WHAT, I'M COMING TO VISIT YOU" "Calm down Tj. Tell me when and why?" "Ok. So my plane is early tomorrow and I'm bringing a friend for you to meet. I think you will like him." I could just feel her wiggling her eyebrows, for weeks she had been texting me about this guy Jerome. Tj wanted me to meet him because she thought I was lonely. "Why do you have to bring him you know that I have a gig in two days and I've never met this guy." Everyone knew almost everyone in my home town Framlingham, Suffolk so I was comfortable with singing in front of locals and my best friend. "It'll be fine Anna, trust me he is really nice. Please for me?" I very rarely said no to Tj especially when she was travelling so far to visit me so I gave in "Fine, but he is staying on the couch." She replied excitedly after some murmurs on the other end of the call "Ok, Jerome said that is fine." Then Tj finished the call happily "see you tomorrow arvo A."

~~~ Time Skip: @ airport ~~~

Right now I am at the airport to pick up Tj and Jerome from their flight. I was dressed for my gig (MEDIA) and beyond excited to see my best friend. All of a sudden I feel a weight on my back and giggling in my ear and I knew it was Tj. I turned around once she got off my back and saw her standing next to a guy whom I guessed was Jerome, he stood smiling at me and quietly laughing at Tj's actions "Well hello to you to Tj, and you must be Jerome. I'm Anna." "I know.... I mean uhhh yeah, well Tj talks about you lots" he said while stumbling on his words. I just laughed "Yeah, she has told me lots about you too." Tj started giggling again and said quietly "Success." She then spoke up loader "A, don't you have a gig in 15 minutes? " "SHIT! Yes I do we should probably go now." So we headed off to the pub.

When we arived I had 2 minutes before I performed so I quickly tuned my guitar until I was told to go on stage.

"Hi everyone my name is today I'm going to sing two songs for you and I'm going to play guitar along with it."

"First up is All of Me" I started playing it on my guitar then I began singing

"What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh"

"My second song is Mean by Taylor Swift, and Henry here will be doing some backup singing and playing guitar by my side" I said all this while another perfomer came on stage to help me out.We both started strumming and I sang

"You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so?...
Someday I'll be living in a big ole city (Why you gotta be so?...)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so?...)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so?...)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?"

Applause was all I could hear and when it quietened down I said "Thank you all for watching have a great night, Bye." I walked over to Jerome and Tj, Tj squealed squashing me in a bone crushing hug ehile Jeeome just said "You have an amazing voice and a great talent with that guitar" I sheepishly grin and reply "Thanks Jerome, not many guys actually take the time to tell me that once I leave the stage. It is a nice change."
This guy turned out nicer than I thought he would be and he has the nicest personality for someone who only just met me. I think I like this boy.

Well guys this is chapter 1 for Anna I hope you enjoyed. Love you all
