A/N: A Peddie one-shot/song fic. Based on Love Story by Taylor Swift. Hope you like!

We were both young, when I first saw you

I close my eyes, and the flashback starts

I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air

Patricia was at a ball being hosted in her house. She was bored, so she walked outside to the balcony, which was dressed in various lights and stood there, watching the throng of people streaming into her house courtyard.

See the lights; see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello

Eddie had come to the ball out of boredom. He was preparing to leave, until he saw the dark-haired beauty standing on the balcony. Something about her captured his eye. She just looked so beautiful, and the way the light reflected off her hair made her look captivating. He just had to go and talk to her. He pushed through the crowd and made his way up to the balcony where she stood.

Little did I know,

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

And I was crying on the staircase, begging you

"Please don't go."

Her father did not approve much of Eddie. He thought that he was a worthless ragamuffin, and the fact that he was American infuriated him even more. He warned Eddie against visiting Patricia, but, every evening, Eddie was under her window, throwing little pebbles to catch her attention.

Then I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run

You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes."

Patricia proposed a crazy idea: that the two of them run away together. After knowing him for a while, she had fallen hard for Eddie. She was young, she was in love, and nothing really mattered apart from her and Eddie's future together.

"So, I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if he knew

So close your eyes

Let's leave this town for a little while

Because of her father, Patricia had to sneak out all the time just to see the one man that she had always envisioned herself with: Eddie. She and he met most times in her huge garden, just outside her window. Most of the time, they used to close their eyes, hold hands and daydream.

Oh,

'Cause you were Romeo

I was the scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, "Please don't go."

But, as fate would have it, her father found out about all these late-night meetings, and so he put them to a stop. Her father sternly told Eddie to stay away from his daughter, and this time, Eddie sadly obeyed. However, they still kept in touch via everything else.

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run

You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me,

Don't try to tell me how to feel,

This love is difficult

But, it's real

Don't be afraid

We'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story,

Baby, just say yes

Patricia proposed her idea again, but Eddie had grown weary and scared of her father. He was tired – or so he seemed – of Patricia saying that they should run away. He tried to reason with her, but she got angry and told him that she wanted to believe that they would one day run away.

And I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

Eddie and Patricia organized a final rendezvous. However, Patricia waited so long for Eddie to show, and he still hadn't shown up. After three hours of waiting, she gave up and took a walk. When she got to the border that separated her town from their neighbours, she saw Eddie strolling casually.

And I said,

"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground, and pulled out a ring and said,

"Marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story,

Baby, just say yes."

She told him how she felt and that she was sad that he had missed the rendezvous. She turned to walk away, but Eddie pulled her back. He knelt to the ground, pulled out a diamond ring and asked her to marry him. He had talked it over with her dad, and he had agreed with the wedding.

'Cause we were both young, when I first saw you.

That was eight years ago.
