A New Dawn

Chapter 5

Hey y'all *cutely waves*. I'm so sorry I haven't  updated in a while, I did NOT adjust well to living in another country but we persevere and I'm back bitches so enjoy this long chapter.

This has a lot of talk about anxiety and anxiety attacks but there's not a specific place where I can put a TW since it's scattered throughout so I'll just lyk now.

Edit: I forgot again...

Taylor's POV

"Hey Mom! Goodmorning!" I call my mom on my way to work thankful that I'm finally catching her at a good time. We've been playing phone tag for the past few days, always calling when the other is busy.

"Goodmoring Tay! Where are you off to sweetie?"

"It's our last table read today and apparently there's going to be someone new."

"Huh, someone new at the last table read? They must not have a big part."

"Yeah, that's what I'm confused about too because Kevin made a pretty big deal about it. It has to be someone that's an old cast member or someone pretty famous."

"You know Harry is in that one superhero movie.

"Oh shit. How'd I forget about that?! Is that even in the MCU?"

"Honey, I don't even know what the MCU is."

"I'd be lying if I said I understood it completely. But if it is Harry, I'd be fine with that. You know we're on good terms now."

"You're both single too and you know what you've always said about him 'right person, wrong time'"

"I think I was just trying to make myself feel better when I said that," I sighed. "And plus Ive found myself a new muse."

I smile thinking about Lizzie. Over the past few days we've been texting back and forth every second we could. I went from having no inspiration to struggling to write fast enough to keep up with my thoughts.

"Taylor"

"Huh?"

"You just zoned out thinking about him didn't you?"

Him. My mom knows about my sexuality but I've never had a relationship with a woman where I can talk to my mom about it (if you know what I mean). So as far as she's concerned, I've only dated men.

"Umm. Actually it's umm.. yea I did," I cringe as I withhold the truth.

"You must really like him if you're getting lost in your thoughts so easily."

"Yeah, I do," I can't stop the small smile from forming on my face. "Hey mom, I'm just pulling into the parking lot now, can I call you when I'm done for the day?"

"Sure Honey! Have a great day and let me know who the new person is!"

"Love you!"

"Love you too, bye!"

I park my car and just sit there for a moment to decompress. If this surprise person is someone I know, I'm going to need to mentally prepare. Oh my god. What if it's Joe? Shit. Shit. Shit. Nah— he'd never get casted in a Marvel movie. I start laughing at my own joke even though it's true. Plus he always said Marvel is too 'mainstream' so he wouldn't even consider auditioning. I take a deep breath, gather my things, and head inside.

Ashley's POV

Oh god. She's gonna kill me. Taylor is actually going to murder me and she'd totally get away with it. No she wouldn't kill me she'd just make my life a living hell because she's too smart to murder someone. Either way my life is over.
