Mess

- Chapter 2 (continued) -

"Um... wait... um... yeah...how... sorry...um... you're my idol...?" As Ed Sheeran stood in front of me I gawped unable to speak, however much I had previously promised myself I'd act and look normal if I ever did get to see him.

"Well, I'm Ed Sheeran" he winked, he knew I knew who he was. He pulled out the chair next to him and invited me to sit there. Inside I was screaming. I looked around as the boys sat down - their faces, a picture trying and failing to keep in their laughter.

"Well I guess I've failed my promise to myself then..." I said, mainly talking to myself as I sat down. The boys all looked at me - including Ed.

"Carry on. I'm intrigued!" Harry laughed.

"I promised myself a year ago. That I f I ever got to meat Ed - that I would act and look like a normal person. That I guess, no I know, has failed"

"Don't worry - I'm used to it" Ed laughed and looked at me with eyes that made my insides melt.

"Haha, well I'd get pretty annoyed with girls who saw me for 1 second before they started crying"

"Trust me - You get used to it. What sorta music you like? Well other than us of course" asked liam out of the blue, and rather changing the subject dramatically.

"Other than you guys? I love the Kaiser Chiefs their amasing" I smiled I'd literally spent the last 2 weeks listening to thier music, and only their music over and over again. I do that sometimes. Don't ask me why.

"Well thats cool, Soz, how old are you" 

"30..." I replied. 

"Cool only 6 years from Ricky and - wait 6 years as well from Ed! Slap bang in the middle perfect!" Harry winked at me. I blushed violently. What is my problem???? The food arrived and we all ate in a peaceful scilence. It wasn't an akward scilence.

< 1 hour later, they chat a while longer >

 We were just about to leave when the restaurant owner comes over to talk to me. Yeah, I'm kinda a regular here cuz I love to sing, so this is where I sing - for fun - I don't usually eat here, but first chance for everything.

"Hey, Keri do you mind performing in a few minutes? The guy who was going to just cancelled and we really need a performance today because we got some journalists judging our food and service. Will you do that for me?" He asked me this at the wrong time cuz I really didn't want to perform in front of One Direction and Ed Sheeran - I meen their amasing and I'll probs suck compared to them. Would be really embarassing. Damn.

"Sure" I said rather nervously, I said yes cuz really? I need this if I want to get signed at one point. "But I mean theres One Direction and Ed Sheeran! And you won't ask them?"

"We'll have to pay a lot more for them - we don't have that money. Be ready in 5 minutes. I'll pass you the mic then" He turned and walked away.

"YOU SING?!" The boys asked in unison, this included Ed Sheeran.

"Yes..." I smiled "I love singing. I'd love to be as sucessful as you guy's sometime" leaving them at that I left to go to the bathroom. I needed to check my apearance before I got there. I aplied some make-up that I have for emergansies in my bag. I hadn't expected this - obviously - so I hadn't put any on.  I walked towards the door then stopped short. What was I going to sing? Say Something. That's what I was going to sing. Maybe a few Rizzle Kicks or Lilly Allen. I knew I usually sung Ed Sheeran songs but today? I couldn't I would ruin it and they'd all laugh at me cuz I messed up Ed's song - in front of Ed. I walked out and looked at my watch - perfect timing only a minute left and I was due on the stage. I walked towards it not looking at the guys. I knew that if I did I would then have a nervous break down and start crying. That wouldn't be good. 

"Sing one of the Kaiser Chiefs. I dare you." Harry screamed after me. I laughed they cray people. I got onto the stage and introduced myself. I then told the audience why I was here. 

I opened my mouth to start singing Say Something by A Great Big World. But I paused. Maybe I should start with an upbeat song? then save that till last? I then remembered Harry's dare. So I then started to sing.

"Ohhhhh... watching the people get larry..." It was I Predict a Riot. By the Kaiser Chiefs.

< 15 minutes later >

"Say Something...." I finished singing, crying because of how sad the song was. I looked around the room - it seemed to have brought emotion out of everyone in the room. Maybe I should sing another song. A happier one? To end on a happy note rather than a sad one? I desided not. I didnt want to hold up the guys any longer. Instead I said thank you and apologised for ending on a sad note - at this everyone laughed. I walked off the stage and to the manager.

"That was good" He said, "Heres your money"

"OK, thanks" I said taking the money. I wasnt doing it for the money. But I figured it was good to take money for it. after all - I wasn't charging that much. just £10. I turned arond and saw One Direction running and jumping up and down towards me. And Ed casually walking behind them. They were then just about to jump onto me when I lifted my cruches slightly in protest.

"Oh... right." Harry said looking at the cruches "What a buzz kill" I laughed. Knowing it fully well was.

"That was great" Niall piped up. 

"Yeah" agreed Louis "Have you ever thought of going on The X Factor?"

"No - no offence - but I don't like The X Factor. Its all about... the looks?" I said nervously. One Direction just looked at me mouths open. "and your just proof of that" I winked making sure they got the joke "I've thought of The Voice though. But I've never signed up for it. I just - I don't know - don't like getting rejected. So... what if they don't turn?"

"They wont - They'd regret it badly" Ed said he got his phone out "I'm signing you up right now" 

"Oh god..." I mumbled, luckily none of them heard that. Or seemed to hear that anyway. But I let him sign me up. Maybe this was just the push I needed. Then I realised. Ricky Wilson is a coach.
