Tia's P.o.V:

Something was wrong with Ellie. I could see it the way she talks, she moves, she looks ... just everything. I decided to ask her what's wrong.

"Are you okay Ellie?"

"Yes, everything's fine. I just got a ... no, it's nothing. Not important."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"You know you can talk to me about everything ?"

"Thanks."

The car started. Ellie was clearly not okay, but she didn't want to talk about it, so I accepted it and didn't ask anymore. Nobody talked, so I concentrated on the streets and the radio. It was a bit rainy. I loved rainy days, exactly like Ellie. Half an hour later, we arrived at the O2 Arena and entered. There were already lots of people although the concert started two hours later. They all had the same dreams and hopes: meeting Ed Sheeran. How many of them will actually get to know him personally ? Maybe 5 or 6 out of hundereds. I knew how bad Ellie wanted to meet him. She talks about him everyday, everywhere and anytime. I think she has about 200 pictures of him on her phone and I hope that she will get one of her and Ed together. I liked Ed's music too, but I wouldn't call myself a sheerio. It was hot in here, like I said to Ellie before. Her mom told us to stay with her, so I took Ellie's hand and she took her mom's. We tried to get through the crowd to go to the entrance for the front row. It was loud and warm. We showed our tickets to the lady at the door. She smiled, gave us bracelets and said while pointing right in front of the stage:

"Your seats are right there. Have fun !"

Ellie started to scream:

"Mom you really got those seats ?!?"

She hugged her mom real hard and Mrs Benett tried to calm her down.

"I'm sorry, Miss, she sometimes gets a bit ... you know fangirl and stuff."

"Oh that's not a problem, I get to know fans everyday. It's almost normal for me."

"Well then it's okay . I think we should go to the seats now, or she'll go completely crazy."

"Sure thing! Enjoy !"

"Thanks. Bye !"

I smiled at her one more time. Then we went to the stage. When we arrived there, Ellie and I turned around to look at the arena. We talked about how great it was gonna be. I told her:

"I just hope you'll be better after you saw him. I want you to be happy."

"I'm trying, but it's so hard. I know I can talk to you. Thanks again, Tia."

I loved it when she talked to me like that. She's such a wonderful person but she doesn't believe it. Only because of those shitty people. All her insecurities ... only because of them. I really hope she'll discover her real beauty one day. The seats filled slowly and there were only five minutes to go, so I turned towards the stage again. We took a selfie and posted it on snapchat. I was so happy for her. One thing in her life that didn't go wrong. Some people brought guitars and microphones to the stage.

"Tia? Can you take a pic of his guitars please? They look so gorgeous! "

Ellie asked excitedly.

"Of course !"

I took my camera.

"Is this one okay ?"

I showed her and she nodded. We smiled at each other. The speakers switched on and a friendly voice said:

"Dear guests, please enjoy the show of the X world tour at the O2 arena her in London. Now please welcome: Ed Sheeran! "

Everyone cheered when he came out. He took his guitar and went to the mic. He started:

"Hey, how you guys doing? Um ... I think I'll just start. First is: The A team."
