It's a pretty long chapter, but please bear with me
Recently you and Taylor haven't spent a lot of time together. She was busy with her songwriting and her new friend Karlie Kloss, while you were busy with your job and missing her.
But tonight, after you came back from your long day of work, you decided you didn't want to lose Taylor and wanted to reconnect with her. So you started planning and preparing her favourite meal.
You really wanted to suprise her with a romantic dinner and maybe talk about your doughts in hopes of a change in her behaviour.
But that didn't go as planned, it was already past 10 p.m. and Taylor was still nowhere to be seen. She was supposed to be home by 7 p.m. but still hasn't shown up.
On your side, the table was set, the meal was prepared, the candles were light, and your worry at its pic.
You knew better than to overthink this situation. She might just have been caught up in another song with Jack and didn't see the time pass or just went to go grab a drink with him after finishing yet another mind-blowing song together.
You didn't know, but just to be sure and to calm down, you decided to send her a message.
Y/N🪐: Hi hun, just checking up on you. I haven't heard from you all day, and you aren't home yet. Wanted to see if you were ok or if you need some help. Text me when you're on your way home. Dinner is ready. Love ya 💋
She didn't give you an answer right away, but still didn't let your text hanging.
Tay😽: Hi sweetie, sorry for not giving you any news sooner, but don't wait for me, I won't be coming home tonight. I'm sleeping over at Karlie's tonight. See you tomorrow, sweet dreams, and I love you 🤍
And just like that, all of your hopes came crashing on your kitchen floor. You really wanted and still want to make this situation better, but Taylor isn't helping by spending the night at the house of the person who is the source of your problems. The problems that you seem to be the only one to notice.
That night, you cried yourself to sleep thinking of all the things you could've done with Taylor if Karlie wasn't in the middle of everything. That night, you felt unloved by Taylor. Just like she was starting to forget about you and was slowly replacing you by Karlie.
Of course, you were happy that Taylor had good friends like Karlie that she loved so much, but something you really just wished she could spend more time with you. You missed her like hell.
The next morning, you wake up, Taylor's side of the bed cold. You don't know why you were surprised. She did warn you after all. But the hope that she'd come home in the middle of the night was still lingering inside you.
You decided not to waste any time, and after making your bed, you went into the kitchen. The table was still set, the meal still untouched, and no one came to pick up from the floor the hopes that Taylor had with just one single text. And with the state of your kitchen, all your motivation for a productive day was gone.
Your day went on pretty lazily. You called sick at work today. You weren't in the mood to work today. You just wanted to stuff you face with ice cream and from time to time some alcohol.
You heard keys turn in the door, your phone read 7: 20 pm. Technically speaking, Taylor wasn't THAT late. You were waiting for her a 7pm. the thing is, you wanted her yesterday. Today, you were too depressed.
" Hi darling, I'm home" you heard Taylor say as she closed the door. You then heard her footsteps go into the kitchen. Soon enough, you saw her silhouette appear in the living room.
" Hey, why is the table set in the kitchen , and for two ? Did you have some friends over ? Have you eaten anything ? The food looked cold. "
Her presence that would normally make you happy, now irritated you, the disappointment that you have felt during the day was now slowly shifting into anger.
