Long Story Short - TAYLOR SWIFT (BOOK 2)

track 15

you said, you loved someone, and never realize she was slipping away. Planning to have her friend packs her shits, and leave the baggage of burdens behind at Midnight. Does love even compare?

For the last time, Deck the halls once you walked through?

"How can you said you love someone you can't tell she's dying?" Ardheene asks somberly

The actress put her hand above her head, the other limply laid on her bed. the sobs from Taylor hurts her own heart, she held anything back from comforting the blonde.

"I do everything to keep you beside me, Taylor." Ardheene sighed, "and you do everything to test my loyalty and pushes me around."

The train of thoughts died on Ardheene's tongue when the phone vibrating on her sweatpants, the side Taylor laid on.

"I'll be better. I'd get help," the blonde mumbled on Ardheene's chest. "For you, for the fans, for-"

The actress scoffs, she untangled her body from Taylor's holding her hostage and standing up pacing back and forth in her room.

Run her hand through her locks, Ardheene put both of her hands on her hips, narrowly looking at the blonde studying her movements like she was undergoing research Taylor put together.

Ardheene did not faltering under Taylor's gaze, she connect their gaze. Ignoring the pain in her chest being put in the second place, again.

"You're people's pleaser. Aren't you?" The question leaving bitter in it's wake.

Lingering in the air as Taylor sat straight frowning at the accusation.

"Are you calling me pathological people pleaser, Ardheene? I just want you to see me!" The blonde screech out.

Ardheene shakes her head, "i want you to see me. That i'm dying. That i'm sick. I'm sick being your second option." She admitted.

Taylor tilted her head at Ardheene's words. The twenty five years old Ardheene she met years ago did not carry this venomous words and auras with her.

The version of Ardheene standing before her, seems broken. But that doesn't stop Taylor scoffing at the younger woman.

"I dont understand! What do you mean second option?!" She asks.

Ardheene drop her hands from her hips and take a step back when Taylor get up from sitting on the bed. They never put hands on each other, but taking step back seems logical for Ardheene. In case Taylor went swinging to her. She came prepared.

"I know you don't. You never see me. I was second option after Tom. After Matty. After your career. Isn't that why you keep putting the wedding behind your 'busy' schedule?" Ardheene put the quote of busy with both of her index and middle fingers. Mockingly at the blonde with a sneer.

"Oh sorry. I couldn't make beautiful bride for you huh. Because she fucked in the head! Is that what you wanted to hear?!" Taylor yelled flanging her hands around.

She throw her head back prevented her tears from falling down her cheeks. Ardheene's words truly hurting her on the depth she never knew exists in her heart. Sending shivers down to her bones.

Ardheene shakes her head at the oblivious blonde that makes her blind of how she put Ardheene to the side for years.

"You are fucking losing me, Taylor! Risk something! Do something! I got fucking nothing now!" Ardheene said matching Taylor's level of tone.
