Invisible String

2002 November 13th

Taylor

I look at Betty as she plays my song and it honestly sounds so much better when she sings it "that was beautiful" I say and she shoves the guitar into my hands "Your turn" She says looking at me with her gorgeous puppy eyes and I just can't resist it.
Our song is a slamming screen door
Sneakin out late, tapping on your widow
When we're on the phone and we talk real slow
Cause it's late and your momma don't know

That's all I wrote, but then I heard Betty laugh a little and words just started flooding out of my mouth.

Our song is the way you laugh
...... 

I've heard every album
Listened to the radio
Waited for something to come on
That was as good as our song.

I finished singing and raised my head from the guitar to look at her and saw her staring at me with her lips slightly parted and enchanting red hair in her face. I moved forward to move the little strand of hair and she looked up at me, her eyes had this sparkle in them it's something I haven't seen before.

We were looking at each other it wasn't akward it was sweet and nice. I saw her lick her lips and move forward a little. Her soft hands touched my cheek.

As our lips were about to collide we heard a knock at the door and quickly pulled away.

"Come in"
I said to whoever was at the other side of the door and my stupid brother came in. "Mom is calling you guys for dinner" He says and leaves. Me and Betty make eye contact for a few seconds...well now it's akward "Right uhmm.... Okay let's find you something to wear"

I open the door of my closet and pick up simple jeans with a purple shirt and toss them to Betty, but she doesn't see them flying at her head. When the clothes hit her head she falls out of the bed and starts laughing. "Did you have to throw them at my head?" i hear her say threw laughs. "Well I thought that you will catch them you dummy" She rolls her eyes and gets up.

"I'll go downstairs you can change and come down okay?"

Betty nods and I walk out of the room.

Okay, but is it bad if I wanted her to kiss me?
WAIT WHAT
of course it is I mean why would I want to kiss Betty she's a girl and I'm straight Come on Tay just forget about it

Betty

Shit shit shit Why did I almost kiss her what is wrong with me?

I quickly changed into taylor's clothes and walked down stairs. Taylor's parents were talking with eachother and Taylor was hitting her brother....what?

"Oh hi dear do you need anything I made lasagne for dinner do you want some?" I nod and sit down next to Taylor, she keeps on wanting to say something but doesn't and we eat in silence until it gets to akward and to akward and Taylor's dad speaks now

"So Betty how's school?"
"Good I guess, very boring"
Taylor's parents nod and continue eating

"okay this very akward" I hear Taylor say and look up at her. "Yeah it's almost as akward as when Tay brought her boyfriend home" Her brother says and my eyes shoot to Taylor who loudly sighs and drops her head on to the table. "You have a boyfriend?" I ask her a little worried....wait what? Why am I worried I don't care if Taylor has a boyfriend. "No I do not he's just a friend" she says and glances at her brother "Some people just don't seem to understand that" Tay gives her brother a side eye. And I release a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "So you're single?" Taylor nods and smiles. "Good" I say without thinking "Wait no that sounded wrong sorry" Taylor starts laughing "Relax" I smile as I look at her and we all continue eating this time much less akward we even made small conversation by we I mean Taylor, me and her mom. Her dad sat  there reading a newspaper and Austin went to his friends house apperently.

After we finished eating, Taylor wanted to play scrabble.

"Abaft is not a word!" Taylor says to me angry. "Yes it is it's in the dictionery check it" I tell her and she stands up and walks up to the bookshelf and pulls out a huge dictionery "Wait are you actually checking it? " She runs up to me and sits very close "Yes I am nobody beats me at srabble and I do mean nobody" She turns the pages trying to find the word and when she finds it that idiot pretends she didn't and tosses the dictionery to the side. "It's not there " I raise my eyebrows and look her in the eyes "Fine it is you win congradulations" Taylor says sarcastically and walks up the stairs to her room. "Oh come on Taylor don't be a baby" Her mom says while laughing.

I quickly get cleaned up, brush my theeth and brush my hair and walk towards Taylor's room. Her mom said I can spend the night at there house and come there anytime I want, they didn't even ask me what happened that's nice I guess.

I open the door to Taylor's room and see her looking out of the window. "I'm sorry for beating you" "It's okay" I walk towards her and sit down next to her "What are you doing here?" I ask her while moving a bit of hair out of her face. "Looking at the stars, I love stars they're really pretty just look at them" I continue looking at Taylor "Yeah they're gorgeous" She smiles and looks at me it felt like an invisble string was pushing us together, we turn away from eachother and continue quitely looking at the starts for what felt like hours but probably was more like a few minutes,  and I couldn't stop, but think what was it about her that was making me feel this way.
