Author's Note: I'm so glad that you, whoever is reading, has decided to continue this story with me.
This story, like my last story, is inspired by a Taylor Swift song, but this one is based off her duet with Ed Sheeran, entitled "Everything Has Changed". Needless to say, everything in this AU has changed.
This story is also a lot fluffier than Begin Again, being that there was like no fluff in that one at all. But I assure you that things won't be easy. And I'm sorry, you won't be seeing Spoby marriage and babies right away. Hopefully sometime, because who doesn't love Spoby marriage and babies?
Without further ado, here is the prologue.
Prologue
Spencer was no stranger to change. That much was true.
So often before in her life, she found it unwelcome. She liked routine. She liked knowing where and how things were supposed to be. She liked control. She didn't like surprises.
But life was full of surprises. She just wasn't sure what she was supposed to make of this one.
Wasn't this what she should've been expecting? It was what her friends had been hoping and wishing and praying for for months, almost a year. Secretly, she believed that this was what she was hoping for, too.
But something about this felt so wrong inside. Something felt bad about saying yes. Some part of her felt guilty. She could no longer tell whether it was the drama with her ex-fiancé, or that with his meddling, conniving ex-girlfriend. She didn't know if it was because of her own muddled feelings.
God, she hoped that it wasn't the last one.
She knew she loved him more than anything, more than everything in the world. She loved him more than she ever loved anyone in the world. She couldn't lose him. So saying yes was only natural, right? Right?
She had no idea what to say to him. She wanted to say yes, but there was that omnipresent fear which struck her and she knew all too well. It made her sick to her stomach.
She ran away from him, quickly throwing up. She wasn't sure whether or not it was because of her own nerves, or because of the pressure from another secret she was keeping under wraps.
God, she hoped that it wasn't the last one.
So, like I mentioned before, I'm starting the ninth grade very soon, so I will likely not be able to update as much as I did this past summer with Begin Again.
Also, I feel as though this should be said before I post Chapter One, but the format of this story is similar to Begin Again. The prologue takes place in the middle of the story. Chapter One will pick up right where the epilogue of Begin Again left off.
I have chapter one already written and I think you will enjoy it very much. It's straight up fluff, since I don't think you'll see too much of it during the course of this story until about part three, so I wanted to offer some relief.
So I'm going to update when I get the chance and school gives me the chance to. But I at least hope to see some friendly, familiar faces before I put up Chapter One! -Kayson
