Shock

Taylor's P.O.V

It was the 10th of September of 2015 and I had an upcoming break in my schedule. I had tried to hook up a date with Calvin but he's down in South America for September and October so no luck there. So as usual I'm holed up in my Rhode Island house for four days with absolutely nothing to do, my mom had asked me why I was going to Rhode Island and to be honest I had no clue, I just felt the need to go so I took the cats and we went. The waves looked perfect and I felt my chest relax and all the tension that this tour has brought went away. The first day at Rhode Island I spent in true fashion unpacking and walking along the beach. There were lots of kids around and parents but I had been coming here for three years now so they all left me alone, having met me at one point. I felt calm and relaxed, I was upset that Calvin couldn't even fly to see me for a day but that's his life, when he's here in America he's usually in Las Vegas performing his amazing EDM music. I love the sounds he can make from nothing, it's amazing to hear.

It's nice that the paparazzi have calmed down since we made our debut as a couple at the Billboard Awards, it was awful to be sitting there at first but as the night moved on I grew more comfortable. I knew that Harry had been in the audience at Billboard because they won an award and he was literally a few metres from me, his green eyes burning into mine but I refused to meet them. I heard his wolf whistle as Bad Blood debuted and I got a round of applause but I didn't acknowledge him, I couldn't because I knew one look would send me back into his tattooed arms forever. I had to be strong. Louis, Niall and Liam talked to me at the after party as I looked for Harry they cautiously whispered. "He went back to L.A, this is hard for him." I remember turning to them and saying, "Imagine how hard it is for me, he dated so many others..." I trailed off as they looked at me in sympathy. "We know." I shook my head and walked away for quiet but it never lasted long as Austin sat down. "You still love him Tay," I shook my head defiantly. "I can't Austin, I have Calvin now." He looked at me and nodded but it wasn't a true nod. "I know Taylor, but you can't fight fate. Sooner or later you have to choose." I shake my head getting rid of the thoughts that have plagued my mind since we broke up in 2013, things were so difficult afterwards and Calvin was one of the first guys to chase me, after Harry. At first I was cautious and kept my distance but Ellie Goulding, Haim and Selena all convinced me to try because I deserved it. But sitting here in my large Rhode Island house the thoughts of Harry plague my mind. Every now and then I watch interviews and I catch his eye when he is asked about the women, he tries to play it off but Niall's face gives it all away. Lies, all lies. Harry is single and I'm wondering if I'm the reason why.

Suddenly I can't take it anymore. I grab my phone and laptop and rush upstairs to my bed that the cats are spread out across, 'Calvin doesn't even like cats...' I think to myself as I start the laptop and move to google. I pause to think about this logically, I've never searched/stalked a ex-boyfriends tour dates before. But I'm to curious to think, where is he? What's he doing? Before I can do anything I'm typing in 'On The Road Again Tour' watching Wikipedia pop up I decide that's good enough, always accurate. Scrolling down my heart skips a beat when I see they are preforming at Foxborough in two days. My heart starts to skip beat as I reach for my phone to call Tree. She answers quickly. "Taylor, what is it?" I take a deep breath and then explain how I'm feeling and what I want to do. Tree surprises me though, instead of saying I'm a bad person she says, "Thank god, now he can stop calling me." "Wait, what?" I question as Tree sighs. "Harry, he calls me every two days. Asking how you are and if you are happy but I feel now that I have been lying to him. I know he's been speaking to your mom and dad too. He's on good terms with them." I feel my face getting hot, and I feel confused. "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask already fearing that the answer was Calvin and I was right as she confirmed it. "What if I said I wanted to go to their tour date in Foxborough?" "I think it's a good idea, I have passes for you and a ticket for each stop in America." She stated and I was confused. "Why?" "Harry gave them to me in the hope that you would go to one, I told him you had to come to me first. They are backstage passes, view from side stage." My mouth dropped that was a lot of tickets but they were backstage ones so it didn't count for ticket rates. "Send me the Foxborough one." I asked Tree. "Of course, but you need to go undercover, no-one can know." I sigh knowing it has to be that way.

Two days later security are escorting me to the backstage entrance where I see Niall, "Hey Tay," he states. I smile and greet him and he takes me to my place before leaving me. Everyone knows I'm there except Harry. I'm wearing a brown wig, with jeans, a tour shirt and my keds. I know that if Harry looks closely he will recognize me but it's worth it. I need to know if this is what I want for the rest of my life. Do I want Harry or Calvin? I can't choose right now so I watch the show. Niall winks at me when he walks offstage so does Liam and Louis. I wait as Harry comes past chugging a bottle of water, my breathing hitches as I watch his adams apple bob up and down, his hair pulled into a man bun. He looks at me and nods and keeps walking so I let out the breath but then he stops. Turning back to face me he walks towards me and leans in. "Mmm you smell nice." He states and I smile he goes to walk away again when he turns back. "Gotcha Alison." I gasp and he smiles knowing he's right. I know he said Alison because sometimes he called me Alison and I called him Edward. It was our thing and now here he is mere metres from me and I'm in shock.

Harry's P.O.V

Foxborough is massive, the concert is sold out and the other lads seem to be really excited for this concert but for me I can't help but think about when Taylor was here on the 24th and 25th of July. Her tour was massively sold out. I always watched her interviews on YouTube and kept an eye on where she was in the world and what the time would be. I was so in love with her that it was insane, it made me act crazy. The Billboard Music Awards however had broken my heart. To see her with him, hugging him, letting him kiss her cheek not to mention the boob looks I saw him sneaking in. It angered me but the boys calmed me down. I knew then that I still loved her, I had made mistake after mistake when dating her but I wanted another chance that was when I realised I had to let her come back on her own. Calling up management I requested a backstage ticket and pass for every tour stop, and asked them to send them to Tree Paine. I called her and got her to agree and even say that she wasn't sure how serious things were with Calvin. Next was a hard call, her parents. I had promised her dad to never hurt her but anyone who'd listened to the album and knew our story knew I had failed at that. I spent months convincing them I'd changed and that I'd stopped drinking and partying and eventually they believed me and thought Tree was right, they had met Calvin but weren't sure how long it would last. I had some hope. A glimmer and from then on I worked tirelessly to make every show perfect hoping that it would be the one she turned up to. By September I was beginning to lose confidence, there weren't many shows left in the U.S and we went back to London afterwards. But I held out hope.

The night progressed well, the vocals I had taken over from Zayn sounded pretty good tonight, the crowd was pumping and I knew it was a good show. The final cords of music played as we left the stage, everyone walked off and it was over. All I wanted to do was sleep and stalk Taylor some more. I'm sure she had Instagram pictures up that were new. But then it happened, I was walking offstage and I passed a woman with brown hair, jeans a tour t-shirt and keds. It made me smile, I loved seeing Taylor in Keds. It had always suited her but I also smelt her perfume, it was a Taylor Swift scent her second one 'Wonderstruck' and it smelt perfect. I turned and walked backwards saying "Mmm you smell nice." It wasn't until she smiled that I realised what was happening here. Everything made sense, why I felt good, why the boys were excited and then I turned to her. "Gotcha Alison." Her face dropped into a gasp and I knew, I hadn't been sure but the reaction sealed it. Taylor had come, she was here and I couldn't believe that she was here.

Taking her elbow I dragged her towards the dressing room but instead darted into another seating area. Turning to face her I could see how real she was. "What are you doing here?" I questioned looking at her. She smiled and said, "I know everything Harry, how's my parents?" I froze and then muttered something. "That's what I thought. I must say I didn't figure it out until Tree told me so you know." I smiled and watched her sit down and place her face in her hands. "What's wrong Tay?" I questioned."Nothing, I just don't know why I'm here exactly. I mean I'm on break for a few days but I just had to come and see you. You don't seem shocked." I laughed at her. "Oh yes I am, I kept hoping you'd come but I started to get concerned and now you're here." She nodded and whispered. "I'm here." I smiled and took her hand in mine but she pulled back. "I'm still seeing Calvin.""Oh, okay." I froze not knowing what to say and then she spoke. "But I'm breaking up with him." I was shocked as I looked at her, but she looked at me and I melted. She was adorable, always had been. "I need answers Harry. If I, I mean we do this then I need to know." I nodded and said in total shock."Whatever you want, I'm yours." She smiled and leant over for a hug, I could smell her shampoo, strawberries and her body lotion and perfume merged into one. She smelt amazing and I knew I had to convince her to stay but at her pace. I was prepared to do it, I was just shocked she was here so I hugged her tighter and she snuggled into my neck, her cold nose on my flushed skin.
