Chapter Nine
Taylor S's POV 2
November 11th
Around twelve 'o clock noon, Taylor made it to her scheduled appearance at the CMAs. She posed with a lot of her acquaintances including Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood, both legendary country/pop singers who had taught Taylor quite a bit about the business. When it neared time for her to go on stage, Taylor was more nervous than she had been the first time she had ever performed. She didn't know what she was thinking when she wrote this song but when she was writing it she hadn't intended for it to go on the album. She had just wanted to secretly acknowledge to herself and maybe to Taylor also that she was sorry. But it just so happened that her producer heard it when she had been recording it to finally see what it sounded like as an end result and he insisted that it be put on the album immediately. Taylor groaned now. This would be her first time ever performing it on live and in front of a huge audience. These were the moments when she posed the almighty question to herself. Why her? She stepped out behind the curtains where the crowd couldn't see her and sat at the piano. She took a deep breath and began...Back to December.
Taylor looked out in the crowd after her performance to see... Taylor Lautner. What was he doing here? This was obviously country music territory, the last place she'd ever thought to see Taylor. His face was stoic and completely expressionless. She couldn't tell if this was good news or bad news and she told herself not to care. She had Jake. Everything was going good between them and she, Taylor Swift, was not going to care. At least that's what she told herself. But looking into his deep brown eyes, she knew the facade was so fake. She groaned loudly walking off the stage. Why was she so hung up on a guy who was eighteen, two years her junior? She always said it was because he was the only guy who she was the one who had ended the relationship, the one who had done him wrong. It was definitely nothing like her relationship with Joe Jonas or John Mayer. With Taylor she has felt loved, like someone actually cared what happened. With their relationship, not just to theirself. Taylor was her first unselfish boyfriend.
