I thought about writing this for a while but I chose not to because it was very personal. Someone in my family (my aunt aka my dad's sister) had breast cancer and the song soon you'll get better sorta sparked the idea of this one shot. Anyway here's the description: Erza's mom gets cancer and she doesn't know if she's ever gonna get better. Will Taylor be able to help her girlfriend during this time in her life......
—————————————————
Erza POV:
Taylor and I were getting cuddly with each other until I hear my phone ring. "Tay Tay I don't wanna get up." I said. "Here I'll give you your phone." Taylor said. Taylor grabbed my phone and handed it to me.
I slowly got up to answer the phone. "Hello is this Erza." The person on the other line asked. "Yes. This is Erza. What's wrong." I asked. "You might want to sit down for this." The person said. I sat down somewhere in the kitchen. "Alright tell me." I said. "Your mother has cancer and she might not live." The person said. "Oh." I said trying not to break down. "I'm so sorry." The person said.
The person on the other side hung up and I turned my phone around. I started to break down crying hoping Taylor doesn't hear me. Taylor walks in and finds me crying. Taylor engulfs me into a bear hug and doesn't let go. "Baby what happened." Taylor asked calmly. "My mom has cancer and the doctor said she might not make it." I said.
A few months later...
Taylor and I decided to visit my mom in the hospital. We went to her room and she looked horrible. "Hey mom. Are you doing okay." I asked. "No. The doctor said I have a few more days left to live." My mom said. "No I can't lose you. I already lost dad. I can't lose you too." I said trying not to cry.
"You'll get better I promise." I said. "Thank you Erza." My mom said. "Well mom. We will visit you tomorrow." I said. "Thank you. I love you Erza." My mom said. "I love you too mom." I said.
The next day...
Taylor and I decided to go visit my mom and I saw doctors in her room. I ran in and Taylor went in with me. "No what happened." I asked. "She's losing oxygen. There is a high chance she isn't gonna make it." The doctor said. "No she has to." I said.
"Sir we tried everything she's not waking up." A nurse said. "We have to pull the plug." The doctor said. "Understood." The doctor pulled the plug and she was gone. Taylor walked to me and gave me a big hug. "Taylor why. My mom didn't deserve this." I said sobbing. "I know baby girl. Everything will be okay I promise." Taylor said whispering in my ear. "Come on let's get you home." Taylor said.
A few years later (Taylor is creating lover)
It's been a few years since my mom died and Taylor was now writing something that I didn't know about. "Darling can I show you something." Taylor asked. I nodded my head and I waked to our bedroom. "What did you have to show me." I asked. "I wrote a song before your mom died and I wanted your permission to put it on lover. "Yes Tay you have my permission to put it on lover." I said. "Thank you my love." Taylor said. "It's called soon you'll get better. You want to hear it first." Taylor asked. "Yeah." I said. Taylor grabbed her guitar and started strumming.
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor's-office-lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, each night I pray to you
Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn't real
I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky
I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try
And I'll say to you
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to?
What am I supposed to do
If there's no you?
This won't go back to normal, if it ever was
It's been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because
'Cause I have to
Ooh-ah, you'll get better
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
Taylor put her guitar down and she went to hug me. "Taylor that was beautiful." I said. "So I can put it on the album." Taylor asked. "Yes my love you can put it on the album." I said.
