('the story of us" - taylor swift)
...
The story starts like all stories start: with a boy with blue-green hair and eyes like a cloudy sky, and a girl with a bright, white smile and a silvery, shining glow.
And they grow up together, go to school together, and it's always TeddyandVicky,always, always, always. They kiss when he's 17 and she's 15 and it's all just perfect.
But then someone new enters the picture. Lily Luna Potter, everyone's favorite happy little Hufflepuff. And she's really always supported TeddyandVicky,but now she's suddenly gone from a bubbly 9 year-old to a more daring 14 year-old.
So things start to change. Because Lily's set her sights on Teddy. And what Lily Luna Potter wants,Lily Luna Potter gets.
At first it's subtle. Little smiles, hugs that last a bit longer than they really should, a wink or two. And Teddy thinks it's just Lily, she's like a little sister to me. And Lily, ever the hardworking Hufflepuff, turns it up a notch. Now it's flirtatious comments and revealing tops when Teddy's around and once she even kisses his cheek, which she hasn't done since she was little.
Vicky notices, she's not stupid, and she corners Lily and asks her what the hell are you doing?,but Lily just says nothing Vicky, dearand that's that.
But then, one day, Lily comes to visit Teddy. And Vicky is off with a friend of hers (and of course it's a coincidence, Teddy!) and Lily has got her plan laid out perfectly.
So they just talk a bit, and although Lily gets more and more flirty, Teddy pretends to ignore it. But when Teddy gets up to go to make tea, Lily follows. She follows and she grabs his hands and she kisses him.
And what is Teddy supposed to do?
option one:He kisses her back. And all he's thinking is why didn't I do this before?And, somehow, they end up on the kitchen floor and she's way to young for this, for him, but it's so perfectly imperfect that they both don't care.
And pretty soon Vicky finds out and the rest of the family starts cold-shouldering them, but they're okay, they're okay, because they've got each other.
option two:He pushes her away,and it's all no Lily, I'm sorry, I love Vickyand come on, Teddy, she'll never find outand Lily, I don't want you.
And Lily Floos away in a huff, and Teddy is sort of sorry to see her go, because he loves her, like a sister, but on the other hand he's not, because it's always been Vicky and it always will be and he would never, ever want to ruin what they have, because it's the best thing he could ever hope for.
option three:So he disappears, cause this is all just too much.
The question is...which option will he choose?
