It was 7 PM when Taylor S. walked into the Bluebird cafe. She looked around for a minute,looking for her best friend Abigail. She found her sitting at the end of the bar. "Hey,Abs!" Taylor said. Abigail looked up from her coke and smiled when she saw Taylor. She stood up and pulled Taylor in for a long and tight hug. "Tay! Oh my god,I'm so happy to see you! Are you okay?" she said. Taylor swallowed. She wasn't really okay,she realized. "I'm trying to be." she said with a quaking voice. "Do you know if he's coming tonight?" Abigail asked her. Taylor shook her head. "I don't know..Probably not. He's probably hanging out with Camilla right now." she said. She heard how envious her voice sounded. She wanted to be with Joe right now. Just sitting on the couch. "Am I late? Did I miss it?" she heard a voice behind her. She recogniced it immediately. The sweetness,the warmth,it was Taylor L. She slowly turned around and flashed him a carefull smile. "No,you're early..I just got here myself.." she said calmly. She heard a soft cough behind her. It was Abigail,wondering who this guy was. "Abigail,this is Taylor Lautner. Taylor,this is my best friend Abigail Anderson." she says,glancing from Taylor L. to Abigail and back again. Taylor L. smiled at Abigail,with the same dazzling smile as he had flashed her earlier today,and Taylor fellt her whole body shivering. There was something about him that made it impossible for her not to look at him. So she stared at him like an idiot,not hearing her best friend talking to her. She finally snapped out of it when she fellt a soft tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw it was Abigail. "Taylor,he's here.." Abigail said in a dim voice,so Taylor L. couldn't hear her. "Who?" Taylor S. replied a little confused. "Joe.." Abigail said nodding in the direction of the door. Taylor S. looked past Taylor L. and saw him. Joe walked in with his younger brother Nick. "No..Not tonight.." Taylor yawned. She really didn't want Joe to be here. She would probably cry on stage if she looked at him. Suddenly she fellt a warm hand on her arm. She looked up in suprise. Her suprise grew even bigger when she saw who the hand belonged to,Taylor L. "Are you okay?" he asked,she could hear the anxiety in his voice and smiled at him. "Yeah..I'm okay.." she said quickly. She didn't want him to worry about her,he probably already got enough of things to worry about. Besides,they just met. He didn't have to know everything about her yet. Maybe she'd never see him again after today. A man came walking up to her. "You're on,Taylor" he said. "That's my queue.." Taylor S. mumbled. She walked after the man to the stage. Someone hands her her guitar and she walks up the stage. She sits down on the crutch that's standing there and sighs deeply."Hi,I'm Taylor..." she says. "This is a song I wrote recently...Yesterday,actually...It's about having a first kiss with someone..And then that first kiss,turns into a last kiss.." she continues and glances over the crowd. Her glance stops at Joe for a second. She swallows and starts playing.
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
Away
Taylor S. feels the tears burning in the corner of her eyes as she looks at Joe. She missed him. She just now realised how much she had. Every single moment with him starts playing back in her mind.
I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did
Because I love your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
And I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Joe looks at her. He just looks,no sign of emotion on his face. As if Taylor is just another singer in a bar,singing about a boy. As if he didn't break her apart. The tears start streaming down her face now.
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last...
Taylor swallows and wipes her tears away. She stands up from the crutch and walks off of the stage. She walks to Abigail and hugs her. Now she really breaks down. "I...I...I don't know what do do Abs..I still love him...But...But." she sobs to her best friend. "Tay,he doesn't even deserve your tears..It's okay to cry,but you should know you're way too good for him. You deserve someone who's sweet,and caring.." Abigail says. "Taylor,are you okay?" she hears a soft voice from behind her. She slowly turns around and looks right into the deep brown eyes of Taylor Lautner. She smiles through her tears. "Yeah,I am..Thanks for asking" she says,still sobbing. She sees Joe coming her way en wipes away her tears. "Joe..." she says hoarsely. "Hey,Tay..." he says. "Great song.." he adds. Taylor S. nodds. "Thanks.." she says. "But I would prefer if you wouldn't write any more songs about me. Or at least,don't make it look like it was all my fault.." he says and walks away. Taylor S. starts crying again. This time,it's not Abigail who pulls her in and comforts her. These arms are stronger. She looks up. It's Taylor L. Normally,she would have pulled away from him. But not now,she could trust him,she could feel it.
