Multiply - Ed Sheeran

Take It Back

Ed sighed to himself and ran his hand through his hair. He looked at his phone, seeing the text he sent Emily the night before. "No, no, no, no!" He said in shock. "Oh god no!" He called Emily, not realizing he woke her up.

"What, Ed?" She groaned.

"What I text last night... I didn't mean it! I was drunk and I said some stuff..." He sighed. "I'm so, so, sorry, Emily!"

"Ed, sorry won't cut it! That was horrible for you to say to me! I can't believe that you, Ed Christopher Sheeran, would say that to me! Do you love me or do you not?" Ed froze at this. "Do you or do you not?"

"I can't answer that. No matter what the answer is, you'll be hurt." She sighed. "Whatever. I"m going to the gym."

"Why? To see your boyfriend?" He asked stubbornly.

"Ed if you want to get back together, you are trying very poorly." With that, she hung up. He texts her quickly. She sighed and read it.

Ed: I still need you.

Emily: Leave me alone, Ed.

Ed: I promise, I will do anything to be home more often.

Emily: I am trying to move on. Can't you tell?

Ed: Please, Emily. I still want you. I still need you.

Emily: Do you swear that you would love me all my life?

Ed: I already do that, don't I?

Emily: I need more than that. If you loved me so much, how come you weren't always there? How come I had to deal with those nightmares on my own? Ed, I needed you. And you weren't always there. But I needed you to be. Why weren't you?

Ed: I was busy planning all of my life out with you.

Emily didn't answer.

Ed: Please respond.

Ed: Emily, I know that no one ever hurt you like I hurt you. But no one loves you like I do. If you move on someday and you get married and have children, I promise that that man won't be enough. Becuase I loved you more than anyone in the whole world, and no man can take that place. I swore on the second I saw you laughing at Nando's that I would love you forever. And I'll do that.

Emily didn't respond again.

Ed: I can't do life without you.

Emily sighed at this. "I still need you." She muttered.

That night, Ed had a nightmare about Emily. They were in a car laughing, and a car hit them. Emily was rushed to the hospital. She looked horrible. The press got hold of it and made his personal life their own lives. Ed could only hear himself yelling her name to stay with him. Ed awoke with a startle, sweating. "I need to write. About something." He told himself.

"A rap? No. I'm not a rapper. I'm a singer with a flow." He thought for a moment. "Not a bad start."

Emily was walking on the street. Some of the press got pictures of her. She saw a man block the camera from her. "Bryce?" She asked him. He turned to her with a smile.

"Need some help with the camera's?" He asked with an eyebrow raised. She nodded with a smile.

"Ms, did you and Ed Sheeran break up?" A man with a camera said.

"Yes, now leave me alone."

Bryce and she went into a bar. He smiled at her. "Wanna try this without a call from your ex?" She smiled lightly.
