Autumn Leaves (An Ed Sheeran Fanfic)

Unexpected

"You're doing fine." Ed encouraged. 

"I'm not. Help me, I'm going to fall!" I yelled at him. 

"You're not going to fall. I'm right behind you." Ed assured. 

I was in physio therapy attempting to walk. It was so difficult. 

"Ed it hurts." I whimper. 

"Stop being a wuss, you're almost there." Ed informed me. 

I looked up from my feet and I had reached the chair. 

"That was fantastic Jessica." complimented Melissa, my physio therapist. 

"That was hard." I complained. Who knew something we do all the time could be a struggle? Simple walking was now difficult. 

"You are making amazing progress. Give it a week or so and you should be off the crutches. 

"Really? Thank goodness. Its been 2 weeks since I last walked easily." I was so happy. 

"Well that's it for today, you can go home now." Melissa told me. 

"Great, come on Jess." Ed smiled whilst helping me with my crutches. 

"See you next week Melissa and thanks." I thanked her. 

"Bye." Melissa waved as we left the room. 

Mark was ready to take us back to the home and we arrived there in no time. 

He opened the door and Ed and I made our way to the living room. 

"Guess what?" Ed looked excited. 

"What?" I was intrigued. 

"I've got a gig at the place down the road and Mark has agreed that you and I can go without supervision!" Ed grinned. 

"Really?!" I was exstatic. 

"Really! Only if you want to go. If you're not up to it, we don't have too." 

"Ed! Of course I want to go. I'm so fed up of being cooped up in here." I told him. This was going to be epic. 

"Perfect!"

******************

2 hours later...

"Don't stay out too late. I'm trusting you both. Cya." Mark waved us goodbye and drove away in his car. 

"Mark is so awesome." I commented. 

"Yeah, he really is." Ed smiled. "Come on! We're late." 

Surprisingly I could walk quite fast on my crutches as we entered the venue. 

"Sit here, I will get us some cokes." Ed smiled and walked up to the desk. 

A mysterious lad, in his late 30's, walked by me and smiled nervously at me. He was weird. 

Surprisingly quick, Ed came back with the drinks and set them down on the table. 

"I'm up after this guy." Ed pointed out then took a sip from his coke. 

"He's really good, isn't he?" I told Ed. 

"Yeah he is." Ed agreed. 

We both listened, mezmorised by this person's angelic voice. He was good, but not as good as Ed. 

The performer finished his song. It was Ed's turn next. 

I turned to look at Ed and he looked nervous as fuck. 

"Ed, you're up." I smiled at him. 

"Oh gosh, look at how many people they are." Ed's face was flushed. They were a lot of people here. 

"You'll be fine! You're crazy talented, how could anyone hate you?" I comforted. 

"Come up with me." Ed pleaded. 

"What? No." I told him. 

"Why? Please." Ed gave me puppy eyes. 

"I don't even know the song." I truthfully told him. 

"Well...you could...I don't know." Ed mumbled. 

"Ed, stop worrying, you'll be amazing." I assured him. 

"But-" Ed began only to be interupted by a gentle kiss from me. 

"Ed, go on." I smiled at him. 

Ed exhaled I huge sigh. "Fine." 

Ed walked up to the stage with his guitar in his hand. He sat down on the stool and took a deep breath. 

"My name is Ed Sheeran, and I'm going to sing a song I wrote called Lego House." Ed announced. 

This was the song that I inspired and I felt flattered. 

"Hey." the mysterious man I saw before greeted. 

"Erm...hi." I awkwardly said. 

"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked. 

"Actually my friend Ed," I pointed to Ed up on stage. "he's sitting there." 

"Fine..." he disappointedly walked away. 

I carried on watching Ed's performance. 

"I will love you better now." he ended the song. Damn, I had missed most of the song talking to that man. 

Suddenly the crowd roared with exitment at Ed's song as did I. 

"Thank you." Ed smiled at the audience whilst leaving the stage. 

He ran towards me with a huge smile plastered on his face. 

"See I told you you would be alright." I grinned at Ed. 

"Yeah you did. Thanks Jess. Who was that man you were talking to?" Ed asked. 

"I have no idea. He just started talking to me. He was ancient aswell." I truthfully told him. 

"Oh right." Ed looked doubtful. 

"I'm hungry." I announced. 

"Same, shall I get us some chips?" Ed asked. 

"Do you even need to ask?" I smiled at him. 

"I'll go get them. Will you be OK?" Ed asked. 

"Ed, stop worrying. I may be in crutches, but it doesn't mean I can't take care of myself." I replied. 

"Fine. I'll be right back." Ed walked to the ordering desk. 

Oh my gosh. There he was again. That weird man. What the heck did he want? He walked up to me once again, but before he could sit down, I stood up. 

"Dude, what do you want?" I askes annoyed. 

"So he's your boyfriend then?" He asked ignoring my question. 

"Yes. Eww dude, you're like 40!" I told him. 

"Oh no, oh gosh no. I'm not a weird pervert or anything." he innocently said. 

"Then who are you?" I asked. 

"Jessica..." he began. 

"How do you know my name?!" I was beginning to get frightened. "Who are you?!" 

"Lucas." he said. 

"L...Lucas?" I breathed. Oh no! Oh fuck no!
