As we walked down the long narrow corridor towards the back of the stage, I felt a mixture of adrenaline and nerves wash through my body.

"Are you nervous?" Brad asked, as if reading my mind.

"A bit." I told him honestly, walking a little closer towards him in the hope that his body heat would stop me from shaking. Brad wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed the top of my head, reasuring me that I was going to be fine.

The next few minutes was all a blur. I was bombarded by stage crew, hooking me up with microphones and checking that my guitar was in tune. Before I knew it, I was pushed towards the stage. The only things I could here were the screams coming from the crowd and the faint voices coming from the boys backstage shouting "Good luck!" to me.

I looked out at the massive crowd. Every single person looked as if they were judging me in some way. It was quite intimidating. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes before gently begining to play my guitar. I decided to start off with one of Ed Sheeran's new songs.

"Ooh I'm a mess right now

Inside out

Searching for a sweet surrender

But this is not the end

I can't work it out

How?

Going through the motions

Going through us

And though I've known it for the longest time

And all my hope

All my words are all over written on the signs

But you're my road walking me home

Home, home, home, home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna feel your love

Oh oh easy baby maybe I'm a light

Before tonight I wanna fall in love

And put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time

Late last night

Drinking to suppress devotion

With fingers intertwined

I can't shake this feeling now

We're going through the motions

Hoping you'd stops

And though I've only caused you pain

You know with all of my words

With were always beloved

Although all the lies spoke

When you're my road walking me home

Home, home, home, home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna feel your love

Oh easy baby maybe I'm a light

Before tonight I wanna fall in love

And put your faith in my stomach

And for how long I've loved my lover

For how long I've loved my lover

And now, now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
