FINALLY A TAYLOR SWIFT FIC! REVIEW!
WE DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Back To December- Taylor Swift:
Ezra and I broke up on December 16th, a week before Christmas. It was our fourteen-week anniversary. Even though it was five months ago, I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
-Flashback-
Ezra removed himself from the small brown couch we were sitting on and moved to his closet. "I got something for you," he said with a smile.
"Listen.. We need to talk."
He looked confused, but kept rummaging through the closet. "Okay, shoot," he said.
"Well, Ezra… I think-I think…." What was I thinking? I couldn't tell him I wanted to break up, and on our fourteen-week anniversary!
He walked over to me and handed me a bouquet of roses. Then he opened the small box which contained a necklace. He was putting it on me, when I got up from the couch. "Ezra, I can't do this anymore."
"What do you mean? Can't do what?" he said, with a look of confusion.
"I can't-can't be your girlfriend anymore." It was the most horrible thing I ever said to him. I placed the roses on the table and headed to the door.
"I-I don't understand," he said, tears in his eyes. "I thought we were soul mates!"
"I'm so sorry, Ezra." I opened his apartment door. "Goodbye..." I didn't get a response, but he was crying on the couch. I've never seen him cry before. I felt terribly, but I didn't go back.
-End Flashback-
I felt, and still feel, extremely bad. He gave me all his love and all I gave him was goodbye. His birthday was April 19th. I never called. It took all I had, but I managed to dissuade myself from calling him, thinking that he wouldn't want to talk to me anyway. It would just make things worse.
Now, I go back to December all the time. I go back and tell myself to stay with Ezra. I go back and tell myself to not utter a single word. I go back, and watch it over and over, until I start to cry. I want to turn it around and make it all right, but I can't. I can't change the past, I can only change the future by making everything in the present right. That's exactly what I can do. That's exactly what I will do.
I was at the grocery store and I saw him. Ezra. I thought he had left Rosewood a couple of weeks ago, but I guess I was wrong; just like I was wrong about leaving him. Turns out freedom was nothing but missing him, so I walked over.
"Hey," I said uncertainly, and he turned around
"Hey," he said, his guard up. He didn't want me to hurt him again.
"How's Jenny?" I asked, trying to make small talk. Jenny was his new girlfriend.
"Jenny and I broke up. She wasn't anything like you." I looked at him, surprised by his bluntness, but then again, I was the one who left.
"Oh... Can I tell you something?" I said, swallowing my pride.
"Sure."
"Listen, Ezra. I'm sorry for everything that happened to us on December 16th. I go back to December all the time, trying to make it right, even though I can't. It turns out the freedom I wanted, isn't anything but missing you. I'm sorry that I ever said goodbye. I miss you. I miss the texting, your hugging, and your sweet smiles. Please Ezra, I still love you. "
He dropped the box of coco pebbles in his hands and pulled me close to his chest. I hugged him tighter, close to tears.
"Aria, I never stopped loving you, but what you did, what you did to me was terrible."
"That's why I want to fix it. This is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you saying I'm airy for that night. Please Ezra, please. I can't sleep because all I think of is how I messed up. All of our memories fly through my head every single moment of every single day. I'm truly sorry."
"I forgive you, but I don't know if I can take you back yet. This is so fast. I'm so sorry Aria." With that, he walked off. The love of my life walked off. I ran to catch up with him, and when I did, I crashed my lips to his.
"I'm sorry... I had to." I turned around and started walking down the street, and the next thing I knew, Ezra had turned me around and kissed me. To top it all off, it started raining. We didn't care though; we kissed each other in the pouring rain as if it was the end of the world. When we pulled apart I was crying again.
"Ezra, I'm so sorry. I was scared. I was scared of how much you loved me. I'm so sorry for that night. I go back to December all the time."
"Aria, I don't care what happens now, I'm never letting you go..."
He reached into his jacket and pulled out the locket he had tried to give me back in December. I laughed, inside was a picture of us kissing.
"Ezra, why do you still have this?"
"I always had hope that you would come back to me. This was the last thing I had left of you. You weren't the only one going back to December."
He tied it around my neck and hugged me tighter, whispering he loved me in my ear...
