inspired by the song 'Taylor' by Ashe

saw myself with you, didn't know who I was, didn't need a map, didn't think I was lost with you.

I always saw myself with JJ. Even when we met at the ripe age of 15. It was always him.

As we'd gotten older we grew apart. I stated to figure myself out. I always thought I knew myself and wasn't lost but I really was.

I'm glad I started to but this hurt more than anything in the world.

Although all of this we didn't stand a chance, JJ and I. We were just young and in love.

but you don't stand and chance when you're young, and in love...

I thought JJ was the one. He was the boy I was going to spend the wrest of my life with. I wanted to have kids and grow old with him.

Though shortly after we graduated and moved in together, it went downhill. At first it all seemed like it was great.

right out the gate don't it all seem great

"I really love him mom" I smiled while talking about JJ. "I don't know, seems like fate for us to end up together" I continued my rant.

tried to tell my mother that it felt like fate.

She knew I loved JJ more than anyone. He was my best friend. I truly couldn't picture a world without him. He was my rock, my lover, my number 1.

Although my mother just chuckled. Her hand patted my thigh.

But she brushed it all of and she laughed cause we're young and in love..

"fucking hell y/n!" JJ shouted. These fights had become normal. We were short on rent money, again.

We'd been going at it for hours now. I was tired, he was tired, it was a bad situation overall.

"we'll figure it out J, I-"

"what if we don't!?" he yelled. My eyes flooded with tears, I hate when he yells like this. It was scary.

ooo and I hate that she was right

My mom was right, maybe we are just young and in love.

"I don't think this is going to work out" JJ said calmly.

My heart broke at his words but I knew he was right. We couldn't do this anymore. Despite everything that in my gut telling him no, I knew it was best.

didn't want to say goodbye

Tonight was the first night is weeks JJ and I hadn't fought. We were laying in bed and I had my head wrested on his chest.

Oh how I loved that boy with everything in me.

"you're beautiful" JJ whispered, causing me to blush like an idiot. The blonde chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you so much JJ"

"I love you so much y/n"

you loved me, I loved you too.

I moved back in with my parents. I was heartbroken, this was it for me. At least that's what if feels like.

I fought the urge to text him, try and make up, or at least make sure he wasn't living with Luke again. Despite not being together I'd always love JJ. He was my first love.

My phone buzzed, it was from John B. He said that JJ had accidentally taken a box of my stuff and he could bring it to me if I wanted. I said it was ok and that I could get it myself.

Honestly I was just relived that he wasn't with his dad.

ooo maybe in another life, cause this one wasn't right...

Clearly this wasn't right. JJ and I weren't meant to be together forever. Perhaps we'll find each other in another, a happier life.

Or maybe we fell in love too soon. Maybe I fell in love too soon. Maybe we both fell in love too soon...

you loved me, I loved you too soon.

I watched as JJ packed up his things, he didn't have much. Tears rolled down my face as I watched.

He was crying too, I knew it. The blonde put the last box at the door.

"maybe we'll meet again, we just need time y/n"

maybe we could meet when we're 33

"we're just too young and it's not going to work"

it's hard to keep a love you meet at 15

present day

I sat in my childhood bedroom, Kie glued to my side. Similar to my mom, Kie also told me we were probably just young and not even in love. It was just bliss as she would say.

JJ was her best friend too she knew both of us best. Although I'd always tell her she was wrong. That we weren't just young.

thought my best friend was wrong when she said we're just young, not in love.

I wanted to smack Kie for being right. I wanted to smack myself even more for being wrong.

"it's gonna be ok y/n" she told me. I cuddled into her, tears rolling down my face.

ooo and I hate that she was right, didn't want to say goodbye. you loved me, I loved you too.

"you're going to find someone really great, to have kids with, and grow old with. This just wasn't right."

Kie was right. Kiara is always right. She's smart and funny and pretty. I cant be mad at her for knowing.

ooo maybe in another life, cause this one wasn't right.

I went to go get my box from John B. He said JJ shouldn't be home because he was working and looking for apartments.

He was moving in quickly it seemed. Kie and Sarah said if he wasn't working he was crying though. I just wanted JJ back, my JJ.

I walked inside and looked for the box when I heard a loud moan. I cringed and assumed it was John B and Sarah.

I couldn't find the box so I went knock on the bedroom door but as I reached it flung open.

There stood JJ, only wrapped in a blanket with a random girl in the bed. My eyes immediately flooded with tears of sorrow and betrayal. It hadn't even been 2 weeks.

I saw the box in the corner of the room, shoved past JJ, grabbed it and left. I couldn't cry infront of him. He'd try to comfort me and that wouldn't help either of us move on.

Everyone was right when they said we were just young and in love. Or maybe not even in love at all. I'll always love JJ. He was my high school sweetheart. That blonde boy taught me so much. But it wasn't right. I've learned there a difference between loving someone and being in love. I loved JJ, he loved me, it was just too soon to be in love.

you loved me, I loved you too soon.
