Begin Again

by J.S. Poe

The story behind Taylor Swifts song Begin Again. Taylor meets an old friend whom she'd lost touch with for many years. This is the story of their days together and apart after they find each other again. This is a work of FICTION. All ideas come from my mind and my imagination.

1. Day one: Matthews POV

Matthews POV: Day One

It had been a long week at work. I was swamped with manuscripts that needed to be read, but I promised an old friend that we'd catch up. I hadn't seen Taylor since high school, not in person anyway. She'd made it big singing. I always knew she would. Anyway, I had finally gotten ahold of her through my sister, and she called me last night saying that she was in New York for a week and wanted to catch up. So me being as much in love with her now as I was seven years ago, I agreed to meet her for coffee knowing that I was no where near meeting my deadlines for those damn manuscripts.

We agreed to meet up at the Broadway Cafe that next morning. I took the day off work which really sent my boss over the edge, but I really needed to see Taylor. I rolled out of bed and walked across my cold studio apartment and pulled on an old pair of jeans and searched for a clean shirt. Laundry day was a week ago; I was running out of clean clothes. I pulled on a dark grey sweater and swore that I'd make it to the Laundromat that afternoon.

It was 9:45. I told Taylor I'd meet her at 10. As I sat at a table in the back checking my emails, I saw the door open out of the corner of my eye. There she was. Those same big blue eyes that I fell in love with years ago. I stood and waved almost knocking my chair over. I'm such a klutz..
