There you were, sitting at the usual table in the town's only coffee shop.
It's been a few hours since you had been sitting there. The reason for that being of you storming out after an argument that wasn't meant to happen between you and Taylor.
Usually, these kind of arguments are over something so small and almost pointless, but this time it was for good reason and the reason was she seemed to have forgotten your birthday, which happened to be because of her busy schedule. Taylor planned to spend the day recording at the studio, however, when you started protesting against it, she begins questioning you about why unless it was because you were sick with something contagious. That was when it all started and got a tad bit out of hand. Once you had calmed down enough to let yourself think clearly, you started to worry about how Taylor might be doing at the moment.
That thought occurred right at the same time Taylor started to worry about your whereabouts, not having the slightest clue of where you might have gone to. At first, she may not have any idea until a certain coffee shop had come to mind to where to even begin looking for you. After about another half hour sitting there, you started getting back on your feet shortly after deciding that you should head for home and talk things out with Taylor. What had you stopped in your tracks was the feeling of being watched, and you were right once Taylor spoke from behind.
"I thought I might find you here, Y/n."
As you remained quiet, you slowly started backing yourself down into your seat while Taylor takes hers across from you. You weren't exactly sure why, but you found it hard to look Taylor directly in the eye as she took hold of your hands with hers. It was almost too easy to tell just by her demeanor that she felt the burden of guilt about earlier, and that made you feel even worse for the things that were said. You waited for her to say something, but like you, she remained silent. It was upon instinct that it seemed as though she was waiting for you to look at her before she could let herself say a single word.
This was a childish game, and right as you were about to look up at her, she spoke up.
"Listen, Y/n. I'm so sorry about earlier and for forgetting that it's an important day for you. Before I had come here, I called and canceled my plans to go in today so I can spend the rest of today with you."
Her words took you by surprise, as that was not something you'd expected for her to say or do. The guilt you felt started growing as you found yourself now protesting against her change in plans.
"Oh, Taylor... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to feel you had to do that for me. Even though it is my birthday, I shouldn't have acted the way I did in selfishness. I-"
Taylor interrupts you by gently pressing her index finger on your lips.
"We both had overreacted a little too far. It's not just you, it's just as much my fault if not much more of it. Listen, I also have something special arranged in honor of your birthday. Before you say anything, I'm doing this because I wanted to do this, not because you or anything/anyone made me feel like I have to." You gave her a small smile in response as she did the same, but before she stood up and offered her hand.
You took her hand and let her lead the way.
Right before you got in the car, she put a blindfold on you. It was about a fifteen minute drive to wherever the location she drove to was. Not long after, you felt the car being pulled into a lot before she puts it in park before letting herself out. Taylor then walks to your side and helps you out of the car, leading you into the (almost) unknown.
"Are you ready to see where we are?"
"Yes!"
As she was undoing the blindfold, you were both excited about what was to come. The blindfold was released and you were greeted by friends and family at an roller skating rink. It was decorated in with party decorations along with a big banner with "Happy (age) birthday, Y/n!" written on it. As you examined the room a little more, you noticed that Hayley, Selena, and Emma were there.
"What are you guys doing here?" You ask, excitedly.
"We're here for your surprise birthday party." Hayley answers.
"What do you say we get this party started?" Taylor suggested, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
"Sounds good to me!"
This was an evening you would remember for the rest of your life, it was a blast to be hanging out with friends and loved ones. But most importantly, it was just enough to be by Taylor's side.
Forever and always.
