Chrissy was walking around the city with her best friend Katie. "Come on Katie please," Chrissy begged her. "No Chris," Katie said. "Come on. You said you know him," Chrissy said. "And you guys were best friends before you moved here." "I know we were but still..." "We're going to his concert tonight, he's gotta remember you," Chrissy said. Chrissy and Katie were best friends for the past few years when Katie moved to New York from England. The met at work and became friends right away that they got their own place as soon as they were able to. Today they were going to see one of Katie's best friends, Ed Sheeran, perform. Katie knew her best friend had a thing for him, even though she always denied when asked. "Chris it's been so long since we last saw each other," Katie said. "I know but still..." Chrissy said. "Thought you said you didn't like him like that?" Katie smirked. "What? I don't!" Chrissy said. "Uh huh," Katie said not believing it. "Come on we better get home to get ready for the show." Chrissy was in her roomm getting ready when Katie came running in. "Chris! Guess what?" "Katie what is it? I'm trying to get ready." "Ed! He just texted me! Asking if I'd be at the show. I didn't even think he still had my number." "What? Are you kidding me?!" Chrissy said. "No look," Katie said showing her the phone. "OMG" Chrissy said reading the text. "I told you he'd remember you!" "I...I'm in shock," Katie said. "Well go on and respond to him," Chrissy laughed. Katie laughed, "Right...that's what I'll do. And I'll let you finish getting ready." Chrissy laughed as Katie left the room. But at the same time she couldn't believe what was going on. Maybe tonight was going to be the best night of her life. A couple of hours later Chrissy and Katie were on their way out to the venue. They arrived and saw the line, "Damn look how many people are here," Chrissy said. "Ed said we could meet him around the back as long as I let him know when we got here," Katie said. "Kay! I think over here," Chrissy said going to the corner of the street. "This should be the backdoor entrance." "He's coming out to meet us," Katie said reading the last message on her phone as the girls waited by the door. "This is so exciting," Chrissy said. "I'm gonna be meeting my favorite singer!" "Tell me about it, it's been so long since we saw each other." Just then the door opened and there he was, "Katie?" he said. "Is that really you?" Katie went up and hugged him, "Look at you? Last time I saw you, you were just performing small little gigs back home. Now look at you, Mr. International Star." "Well you were one who always had faith in me," he said. Katie backed away, "This is my best friend, Chrissy, I told you about." "Nice to meet you," Chrissy said. "Same here," Ed said. "Katie told me so much about you. Hey how about you guys come on in, you can hang backstage." Chrissy looked at Katie as they followed Ed, "You told him what about me?" she whispered. "It's nothing," Katie said. "Katie?" Chrissy glared at her. They walked into the backstage room and Katie looked at her best friend, "Alright I just told him about you so...you know he'd well know about you." "OMG...Katie are you trying to set me and him up?"
Katie looked at her friend, "No. Not at all." Chrissy looked at her friend like she didn't believe her. "Really?" "I swear Chris," Katie said. "Uh huh...then what do you call what you're doing right now?" Chrissy said. Katie sighed, "Look Chris." "I knew it! You are trying to set me up," Chrissy said. "Just hear me out," Katie said. "Fine I'm listening," Chrissy said. "It's just that after your relationship with Ryan, I think you should be with someone who will make you happy," Katie said. "Katie I don't need anyone, I'm perfectly happy now," Chrissy said. "No Chris you just pretend you are. Look I'm not saying you two have to be a couple or anything but just you know get to know him," Katie said. "Get to know him? Kay what are you talking about?" Chrissy said as she saw Katie going over to talk to Ed. "I'll see you at our seats later," Katie said leaving.
Chrissy looked at Ed and laughed a little, "I'm sorry about this. This is Katie's way of helping me out I think." Ed laughed, "Yep she's tried to set me up before back home. But she means well." Chrissy nodded, "Yea I guess she does." "Well come on over you don't have to be afraid," Ed laughed sitting down on the couch backstage. Chrissy walked over and took the seat next to him, "I'm sorry you got roped into this though. I didn't think she'd actually try to set us up." "Well she has told me a lot about you," Ed said. "Same here," Chrissy said nodding. The two of them were quiet, not knowing what to talk about. "Ok this is getting awkward isn't it?" Chrissy said. "Oh good I'm glad you said it first," he laughed a little. Chrissy looked at him, "Hmmm you know Katie is expecting us to be some sort of a couple when she comes back."
