Together

H + S

(Mastermind By Taylor Swift)

Harley's Pov

"Nick if you don't stop yelling in my ear I will tell them that you are a stranger and I don't know you." I whisper-yelled as we walked through the recording studio.

"This is my first time being in one of these places, I can't help it!" He looked around excitedly as I walked down a hallway.

I stopped outside of a door, and turned to face him. I took a deep breath and he looked at me with a confused expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked, and I quickly nodded.

I kinda didn't tell him why we were here...

"I'm really fucking nervous." I placed my hand on my chest, feeling my heart beat a mile a minute.

This has been one of my biggest dreams since I started getting into music. Beging able to accomplish this, is mind blowing. I feel like my world is changing. This whole situation is crazy, and I'm beyond proud of myself for making it this far.

"I'm right here. The whole time, I promise." I nodded at his words, smiling up at him.

Little does he know he's about to be nervous too.

I opened the door, walking inside. Nick followed me, staring at me as he did. I closed the door and looked up. Nick followed my eyesight and squealed.

"Oh my god is that Taylor Swift?!" He screamed, causing me to roll my eyes.

Now I had to play cool. I smiled widely, elbowing his stomach as she stood up.

"Hello! I was just wondering when you were coming! I was getting quite nervous to meet you the more time approached." She laughed lightly wrapping her arms around me.

I pictured this moment my whole life, and I want to break down crying now that I have it. I hugged her back, tightly, causing her to laugh. She pulled away from the hug and looked at Nick standing next to me.

"This is my boyfriend-"

"Nick! I've heard so much about you! When Harley asked if you could come I felt so honored to be in the same room as such an amazing couple." She hugged him and he looked at me with a shocked expression as I shrugged.

"Have you written anything?" Taylor asked, walking over to her chair.

I took off my jacket, handing it to Nick as I walked into the little pod with her. Nick and Aaron were on the other side of the glass.

"I have! With my lyrics I was thinking maybe a soft guitar?" I grabbed an acoustic guitar from next to me, and sat down next to her.

"Same with my lyrics! We must have been sharing the same head when we wrote this." She chuckled, grabbing her guitar from next to her.

I softly strummed the guitar as she pulled up her phone, laying it on her lap. I closed my eyes, picturing the words I wrote down on my pages.

When the song was fully done and recorded, we went out and sat with Aaron and Nick. Taylor was asking Nick a bunch of questions about streaming, while Aaron was asking me a bunch about my father and my music.

"So recently, this new couple in our friend group just got together, Matteo and Julie." Nick started to rant, and I smacked his arm.

"What? I'm Mr. I'm gonna tell everyone's business." He rolled his eyes, causing me to shake my head with a smile.

"Julie doesn't speak, or didn't." He continued, causing Taylor to sit up straight.

"Im intrigued." She chuckled, looking over at me with a knowing smile on her face.

"So Matteo texted Julie by the wrong number, and they talked for weeks. For her birthday he flew down to Texas to surprise her, and found out that she doesn't talk!" Nick exclaimed, waving his hands around.

"What did he do when he found out she doesn't talk? Did he force her? Oh my god that would be terrible!" Taylor covered her mouth, and Nick held his finger up.

"His sister ended up having her address leaked, so he had to go home! Matteo asked her to tell him to stay-"

"And she didn't because she didn't want to speak! Cause she was scared!" Taylor finished, her mouth wide open.

"She didn't tell him to stay, but she wanted to! So she disappeared, and drove all the way to San Diego from Texas to say sorry!"

"Say sorry?! You mean she spoke!!" Taylor jumped up, with excitement.

"Yes! She did!"

"I'm proud of her tell her that." Taylor closed her eyes with a smile on her face before looking back at Aaron.

From one song writer to another, I know that look.
