Never Forgotten You (Zaylor)

Everything Has Changed

And meet me there tonight,
And let me know that it's not all in my mind...

Taylor Swift

I painfully rub both of my eyes.

"I'm sorry Zac, I-I have to be alone. I'm not mad at you I promise," I grab my black purse resting on a chair and head out the door.

I take out my phone and search for someone to be with or at least talk to. Once I find someone I wait for them at the entrance of the apartment.

"Taylor! Hey babe what's up?" Karlie's bright smile makes me feel happy again. "Can we go somewhere and talk for a minute?" I try to not look devastated as I wait for her reply. "Sure, how bout' we go look in some stores," she says while walking with me along the sidewalk.

"Oh Taylor...you really aren't upset about it?" She places her hand on my shoulder. "Well, Zac isn't necessarily the person I want to avoid in this situation, it's them..." We walk around the nail polish's. "That's true. I'm so happy that you came to me after that, I wouldn't know what to do if that were to happen to me so suddenly. But I do think that you need to...talk about it, you can't just let things like this go unsaid," Karlie's eyes widen. "You're right Karlie...we'll see how this ends up," I move a strand of hair from my face.

I walk into the apartment. I spent so much time talking with Karlie, it's already 8 O'clock in the afternoon.

Once I take a few steps inside I hear a voice behind me. "Taylor I-I'm still so sorry. I'm a terrible person, you deserve so much better. What kind of boyfriend does that..." Zac stands in front of me, he holds both of my hands. I wrap one of my arms around his neck put the other on his arm. "Don't say that, we both know we aren't the problem here. I'm sure all they want us to do is fight about it," I reassure him.

He looks up at me, his eyes surely more clearer than mine. "Will you go out with me, tonight?" His voice sounds unsure. "Of course, lets go," We both make our way down the flights of stairs until finally reaching the bottom.

"I got someone to drive us, if that doesn't bother you," he says while holding my hand. "That's fine, I'm not what you would call a good driver..." We both sit down in the back of the car. "Wow, this could fit like 15 people," I smile while checking out the partition. "What exactly is the partition for?" I ask while sitting closer to him. "Well those buttons control it like a window it's just very tinted. If you unroll it, you can tell the driver something. But I don't think that's necessary," He stops me from pushing all the buttons.

I rest my head on his shoulder. Why can't I feel happy like this all the time, maybe that could change...

My thoughts are interrupted by Zac speaking. "Taylor I don't mean to remind you of anything or make you upset, but there's a big scar behind your leg. Does it hurt?" He asks while lifting my leg up slightly. "Oh, I guess I never noticed that, no it doesn't hurt don't worry. I think I got it a couple hours ago now that I think about it," I explain as the car begins to slow down.

We both exit the car and I immediately remember the design on the back of my shirt is just a huge triangular cutout. I wrap my arms around my self. Zac appears behind me and puts his jacket on me. "You aren't cold?" I hug him. "Yeah, but I'm not the one wearing shorts so I'll be fine," We laughed while walking towards a pretty pond that had a stone bridge.

We look over the bridge into the water. I smile as I see a duck with 5 other ducklings right behind it swim around the pond. I look down at my hands, not sure of what to say next. He takes my hand into his, he pushes a piece of hair behind my ear before putting it on my waist.

"The only thing I want is for you to be happy with me, I promise I won't change like some of the other guys you've met," He lets go of my hand and places both his hands on my sides. I've been told this before, but for the first time I actually believe it. Some guys just want one thing.

It's been a while since I've kissed him with so much meaning, not since the situation happened...I can't let them ruin what we have.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer, our lips meet. At first I was hesitant to kiss him first but, what do I have to lose? He kisses me back, I'm sure at some point a paparazzi took pictures but I know for the first time in my life, what they say about us in the tabloids wouldn't make me blink an eye.
