Mismatched (?) •Ed Sheeran•

2.

•Claire Johnson•

We walked through the streets of London. Just having the occasional 'how, why, what' questions. Sometimes we would rate the people around us or just make fun of them. Man we were weird.

"Hey, that couple is arguing" He said as he raised his index finger to point at the couple that were on the verge of ripping each others hair off.

"Really? It doesn't look like it" I said in a sarcastic tone. We were getting closer to them as we walked

"Well they are making a lot of hand gestures" We laughed as we walked beside where they were arguing, I was basically parallel to the girl and I kept my gaze on the windows from the shops beside us. The guy raised his arm to hit her but the girl ducked to dodge his attack, it was the same time as we walked beside them so I got hit. I gripped my cheek as a gasp escaped my mouth. The girl let out a whimper before running away.

"That bitch!" The guy yelled and chased after her, not even apologizing to me. Murray got startled and decided against chasing after the guy.

"I'm not even gonna ask you if you're alright" I let out a laugh.

"That was just a good example of being at the wrong place at the wrong time" We picked up the pace and kept walking.

"Now Eds gonna yell at me" He muttered, probably trying not to let me hear.

"Why would he?" I asked. He jumped and his eyes widened.

"Did I say that outloud?" I nodded

"What I meant was, Eds gonna falafi?"

"What the heck is falafi?"

"Uhm- okay. So maybe Ed did send me to walk you there. Don't worry its just around the block" The streets of London wasn't too crowded. That's a surprise. My hand layed on my stinging cheek. That guy could hit.

"Why would he send someone to look after me?"

"Well, I shouldn't tell you this, but since you asked, he's been stalking you" wait what. I gave him a puzzled look as we stopped in front of a pizza joint. Yay!

"Uhm- forget I said that. Just go in there and do your thing" He scratched the back of his head.

"What's 'my thing'?" I asked

"Wow, you're really slow"

"You didn't really answer my question"

"Whatever. Ed's probably waiting in the back. Whatever happens, happens I guess" He said as he waved and walked away. I rolled my eyes. Yay, I get to eat pizza with Ed Sheeran!

I walked in and looked for the bright ginger hair and kept walking. I tucked the piece of my hair behind my ear as I walked to the back, just like Murray said. I finally spot the back of his head, his hair brighter than ever. I couldn't see his face though.

My eyes widened as I took in what was in front of me. His tounge was in a brunette's throat. I blinked as I double checked if it was really Ed. I told you I was a sucker for love. I turned around and ran for it. My eyes stared at the direction Murray walked to. He should still be here somewhere. I felt my hair fly out as I ran as fast as I could. What was I even thinking? Ed Sheeran would actually like me?

I stopped in front of a small burger joint as I saw Murray sitting there, a delicious burger in his hand. I realized that I was actually hungry. I went inside.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" He asked as he took another bite. I sat parallel to him in the booth as I asked for the same thing he was eating.

"Mind if I join you?"

"What happened?"

"Ed seems to be enjoying himself there" I said through gritted teeth. I took the burger that was placed in front of me.

"What do you mean?" He asked with his mouth full. I was about to tell him what I saw but his phone started ringing. He took it and answered the call.

"What?" His face scrunched up

"Its not my fault!"

"I don't know!"

"What did you do?"

"Whatever" He said as he hung up and dropped the phone on the table.

"Who was that?" I asked

"Ed"

"What did he want?"

"He asked where we were" I nodded

"Why would he care?" I let out a stiffled laugh

"What did he do?"

"He was making out with a girl there" I said, rolling my eyes. His eyebrows met. His face scrunched up once more.

"Are you sure it was him?" I nodded.

"Idiot" He muttered under his breath.

I took a bite of my burger and texted Jenna

To: TheAwesomeGirl

Another date thrown in the trash. Stop setting me up, I know I'm gonna die alone with 40 cats.
Xx

"Hey Claire" Murray said

"What?"

"Not sure if you're gonna be happy but Ed's outside looking really flustered" He pointed behind me. I looked back and saw him walking around.

"What does he want?" I ask bitterly

"Maybe a psycho fan attacked him"

"Well, he enjoyed the psycho fan's company"

Fr: TheAwesomeGirl

Where are you? Ed won't stop calling and texting me, asking where you are. Xx

To: TheAwesomeGirl

Don't worry. I'm with Murray, eating a burger since Ed was too busy eating a girls face off. I'll be home later. Xx

"I just wanna go home" I whined.

"Uh- yeah, I'm really sorry about Ed. I'll walk you home-"

"No, I'll be fine!" I insisted.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Thanks anyway. Bye" I said as I sneaked off and started walking. I lost track of Ed as I walked home. My mind being my mind is being very mean and is reminding me of those horror movies I've watched. Stop. No. Hey what about Shrek, thats cool. Yeah, Paranormal Activity. No. Oh God.

I walked past an alley and turned to my left. Just 5 more blocks. I let out a shreik as I felt someone grab my waist and covered my mouth. My eyes widened as I was dragged onto a wall. No, this was not happening. My eyes let the tears fall as I cried for help. The man slowly kissed my neck.

"Stop" I let out a frustrated whimper as his hand went to the hem of my shirt. "Please" I let out another scream and closed my eyes shut. I felt the man's body get off of me and I opened my eyes to see Ed beating the shit out of the guy. I had to act fast before he kills him. The guy passed out as Ed hit him again.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he got up and wrapped his arms around me. Mine instantly held him back. He's like a huge teddy bear wow. I nodded as I kept bear hugging him.
