My heartbeat went way faster when he came on stage. We all cheered and since that I thought that I could never be unhappy or sad again.

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

His voice was so smooth and light and I almost freaked out. All the lyrics came to my mind.

White lips, pale face, breathing in the snowflakes, burnt lungs, sour taste ...

I sang with him, like everyone else. Even my mum ! Some guys were filming Ed, but the only way I wanted to keep him in my mind was not through a screen, it was my memory. Okay maybe I took some pictures. I closed my eyes for a little while. He sang the last words.

... angels to die.

I remembered the day I called Tia 'my angel'. We were in central London and fooled around at the Towerbridge. We tickled each other until we'd die of laughter. Then we hugged and this was the moment I thought to tell her how important she was for me -my angel.

Ed played Tenerife sea next. Then came One and Photograph. He wantet to raise the mood by performing Don't and You need me I don't need you, which went pretty amazing. The audience loved it. Some people brought signs with them. Most of them were saying things like "I love you !" And "Will you marry me ?" or quotes out of his songs. After this song, Ed told us to be quiet. We did that, but as he started playing the first chords of 'Give me love' we couldn't hold back, we screamed. I love that song so much and ich has such a meaning to me that tears came to my eyes. What he said then made everyone laugh :

"Alright,alright" he chuckled " keep your shit together !"

Then he began to sing:

Give me love like her,
Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll hold ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya ...

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My,my,my,my, oh give me love ...

The line "All I want is the taste that your lips allow" killed me. I started crying tears of happiness. I loved the way he sings, he was always so passionate about his music and that's what I loved most out of everything. I was happy for the first time in years. I smiled, a true smile this time, and sang on.

Give me love like never before,
Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And then tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My,my,my,my, oh give me love ...

"Okay" he said at the bridge, " I want you to sing this line and keep going, I know you know the lyrics : My, my, my, my, my, my, give me love, lover. Let's go!" We all shouted and raised our hands. Everyone had lights and it was dark in here. It seemed like a sea out of a thousand fireflies. Ed made the higher voices on loop and also sang- or even screamed the little parts like "Love me!" and "Give me love!" This was the best day ever ! I looked at Tia and we smiled at each other and sang together. During the show, we were fangirling a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean  a lot. The final part came.

My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love ...

The last chord ended but we kept on singing that line for a long time. Ed clapped for us and smiled. There ! There was this moment where I could have sworn he looked into my eyes. I wanted to tell Tia. Before I could do that, everything blacked out.

Fire. Fire everywhere. People screaming. The lights went down. Silence. I couldn't move anything but my head. I looked around and saw my mom and Tia. I tried to get up, shaking. My knees were weak and I was breathing heavyly. I walked over to mom and Tia - well, I stumbled more- and a tear ran down my face when I saw that they were pale white and their eyes were opened. They stared at nothing.

"Mom? Tia?" I whispered.

"Mom! Tia! Wake up! You can't be gone now!" I cried, getting louder.

I realized that it was too late. Suddendly I stopped. The dream ! How is this even possible ?! I was shocked. I went hysterical. My heartbeat went faster and faster. I looked up. Nobody made a noise. They were all gone. When I saw the stage I saw someone trying to get up.
