A/N: Another one-shot based off a Taylor Swift song. This time, it's 'The Other Side of the Door'. Not really a reason for it, just thought of the song and got inspired. Please review, and tell me what you think of it.

"Just leave me alone!" I yell with tears in my eyes, turning and running back into my dressing room. Chad and I had been having another fight, but this one was more severe than any of the rest. He had insulted my acting, telling me that I was no good and worthless.
I can hear him yelling behind me, asking me to stay. Following me, but I slam the door in his face. He's saying that he didn't mean it, that he loves me. But I can't turn around. I'm too angry, so I ignore him.
So now I sit in my apartment. I avoided him the rest of the day. My phone has been ringing nonstop, but I don't answer. I know that it's Chad calling me to apologize. But I'm still too mad. I know that, if I pick up, I will tell him that it is over, that we are over.
But if he looks a little closer, he would see that I might have said leave, but I don't really want him too. I want him to stay outside and throw pebbles at my window. I want him to scream 'I'm in love with you!'. I want him wait outside, despite the pouring rain, and never leave.
I want him to realize that I know that all I need is on the other side of the door, where the love of my life sits.
So me and my stupid pride, the only thing keeping me from the guy I need to be with, are sitting here alone. The lights are off, but a lamp is on. I'm curled up in my couch in a fuzzy blanket.
I'm going through all of my old photos of me and Chad, and staring at the phone. I want so bad to answer it, but I can't. So I think back to our fight. Everything we said to each other. All the things I misread, took out of context.
Chad told me that he knew everything. If he really does, can't he see that when I left, all I wanted was for him to chase after me?
I can hear him outside, screaming my name. I open the window and yell back, "I can't even look at you! I don't need you," But I do. I say that there is nothing that he can say to make this write again, to make me forgive him. I mean it. I mean it. What I mean is . . .
I may say leave, but I still want you to never give up. To stay out there and keep throwing those rocks. Scream that you love me. Wait in the pouring rain. Come back for more. But never leave. Cause all I need is on the other side of the door. All I need is you.
With your face and beautiful eyes. Our conversations with our little white lies. The faded picture of that beautiful night, when you carried me from your car up my stairs.
Now I break down crying. The reason we started fighting was that I found out that he had cheated on me. Was she worth this mess? After everything we'd been through, after the little black dress he bought me for our anniversary, that he always said I looked so pretty in. after everything . . . I've gotta confess.
I need you. I need you, Chad Dylan Cooper.
In the heat of the fight, I walked away
Ignoring words that you were saying . . . trying to make me stay
I said this time, I've had enough
And you've called a hundred times . . . but i'm not picking up
Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming I'm in love with you
Wait there in the pouring rain coming back for more
And don't you leave, cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door
Me and me stupid pride are sitting here alone
Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
I keep going back over things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I misread
So babe, if you know everything, tell me why you couldn't see
When I left I wanted you to chase after me yeah
I said leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming I'm in love with you
Wait there in the pouring rain coming back for more
And don't you leave, cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window . . . I can't even look at you
I don't need you, but I do, I do, I do
I'll say there's nothing you can say
To make this right again . . . I mean it . . . I mean it
What I mean is
I said leave, but baby all I want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming I'm in love with you
Wait there in the pouring rain coming back for more
And don't you leave, cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night, you
Carried me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess . . . I need you . . . I need you
What I was really thinking when I slammed the door
