Faking Love ~Ned Shoran -completed

Niall~

Ed came back to tour yesterday and he didn't do anything but sleep. He didn't talk to anyone, not even when he was up. I tried talking to him but he wouldn't answer. I could tell he was tired and sad but he has to talk to someone.

He was still sleeping and it was 3:00. We had a show in an hour and a half. And I know if no one woke him up he'd sleep through it.

"Ed." I whispered shaking his sleeping body. "Get up, we've let you sleep till the last minute."

Ed looked at me. He didn't smile or say anything like he usually does. He just pushed past me and went into the bathroom. I sighed and walked out to the living room.

"Any luck?" Zayn asked taking a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.

I shook my head. "Nope."

I sat down next to Liam and sighed. "I think he's showering right now, so he'll be out soon.

The boys nodded and we sat and waited until Ed got out of the shower. Once he was out and fully dressed and had his hair done to his hearts content we were ready to leave.

But this time he didn't even grab my hand before leaving the bus. He just walked off. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his arm pulling him back from the rest of the group.

"What?" He snapped.

"What's your problem? You haven't talked to anyone. Not even me. Now I get it your mom is dying and your dad is a dick, but the best way to stop being sad about that is to talk to someone. Not ignore them when they're sitting and waiting for you to get your head out of your ass." I let go of his arm and walked off with the other guys. He trailed behind us. I didn't even bother to look behind me.

We made it to the venue a little late, which meant we didn't have time to practice but that didn't matter. We should be fine.

Ed was still going on before us but tonight I didn't want to sing with him. I'm surprised he actually said anything when he got up there instead of standing and not talking. It honestly shocked me a little. (Note Sarcasm 😝)

He sang his songs and walked back stage. Now it was a 30 to 40 minute inner mission. The lights went up and the fans started talking. It sounded like my first day of highschool out there. So freaking loud.

I was sitting on the end of the couch messing with my microphone. I felt the couch dip down next to me and I expected one of the boys but it was Ed.

I looked away from him and we both didn't say anything. Shocker. He wasn't talking.

When he had finally decided to say something Liam was calling me to come get ready.

I ignored the fact that he was trying to talk to me and went and stood next to Liam. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I smiled at him.

We walked onto the stage screaming into our microphones. The fans started screaming and we laughed.

"HELLLOOOO LOS ANGELLLEEES!" Liam yelled into his microphone.

The fans screamed and we all laughed.

I saw a lot of people who were wearing things that had to do with Ned and that made me smile. There was some guy who was wearing a shirt and on the front it said 'I'm a Niall's boy.' And then on the back it said 'And so is Ed.'

That was my favorite.

The concert ended a little later then usual because the fans were amazing and deserved some more.

Ed came on stage and sang Little Things with us, which was our last song.

After the concert had ended I ran over to the security guards and asked for the guy with the Ned shirt. They gladly went to get him. I waited back stage to meet him. When he came back stage he looked frightened.
