A/N: Here's the chapter 2 you've been promised!

**TAYLOR'S POV**

Just to think how last week I got the news that my small high school's surprisingly large choir of over 113 high schoolers is going to the New York state choir contest.

I know this news was given to me last week, but today's the day the office stiff and I have decided to tell the school and my choir that we're state bound.

For the announcement part of today, we've been planning for me to head onto the gym floor and tell them about the surprise. The kids also have no idea I'm gonna invite the choir down for a performance of the song that got them here. This is gonna be great.

~During the announcement pep session~

"Alright. Now we have someone here who'd like to make announcement... Ms. Swift." I Mrs. Ondiek, says into the microphone.

"Hey guys!" I say excitedly and hear my students cheer. God, I love them.
"Ok. so. Raise your hand if you're confused as to why I'm here." I say which causes pretty much all hands to go up.
"Well to start, I'd like to invite the NYCHS Choir to the gym floor. When you come done can you get into your groups please. Sopranos with sopranos, altos with altos, tenors with tenors, and bases with bases."
I ask of them. To be fair though I wasn't really surprised when they just put themselves there.
"Alright! Who's ready for some news?!" I ask and the crowd claps as the choir cheers behind me loudly.
"What would you doof I told you that..." I trail off to cause suspense which I successfully hang in the air until I break the silence of distant mumbles and chatter amongst students.
"Your New York Central High School Choir is headed to state!" That's when I hear a frenzy of applause from everyone in my gym. I think this is the happiest I've been been since I found Joe cheating on me with my teaching assistant, Robin 6 months ago. Who by the way was only 19. He was 30. Yeah.

~6 months ago~

"Hey, I'm home... Joe?" I holler through the entry way into the empty kitchen, dinging room, and living room.
"Joe?" I yell out again, still not gaining a response. Little did I know, I was about to make the most awful mistake of my life. I walk into our room completely unbeknownst of Joe's illicit affair.
"WHAT THE FUCK! JOSEPH LEWIS ALWYN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yell with read filling my eyes.
"Taylor, I can explain." He tried to reason with me but he can't in this case.
"What is there to explain Joe?" I ask just a above a whisper. Whispers are all I'm able to let out.
"I love you Taylor. She was an accident. Forgive me please." He begs and begs, but in the end it gets him no where.
"Get out." I tell him.
"Taylor." I don't know why he keeps trying to get me to forgive him when it's obvious that'll never happen.
"JUST GET OUT OK!" I yell in his face through heavy sobs.
"Can I at least get my thing?" He asks with regret in his voice.
"Just get the hell out of my house." And with that, he starts his treck out. That's when I finally see his mistress. God why is she so beautiful. I know I shouldn't be thinking these thing but I am.
"And you can leave too. Get out of my house. You can fuck him all you want there's nothing there." I say to her clearly disappointed. She just flips me off as she gets dressed and heads out.
"Fuck you too." I say to the back of her head.

~Present~

I Zone out, but am quickly brought back by Mrs. Ondiek shaking my shoulder gently.
"Hey you ok. You zoned out there for a bit." She asks concerned.
"Oh, uh, Yeah. I'm great. Thank you though." I tell her. Without saying another word, I go back to speaking to the school.
"Sorry about that there. But as I was saying, I actually invited the choir down to the floor to perform the song that got them to state for you all. You ready?" I turn around to ask the choir. They all nod happily as I sit at the piano. As I mouth "one, two, ready go" to them and look at them as their cue to begin.

As they sing, the gym is filled with grace, love, happiness, and overall joy. As soon as they finish, Selena is the first one to give them a standing ovation. I don't think she knew what she'd do it, because it was chain reaction that caused us to get the entire school standing and clapping for us. This felt great. Now I need to tell my family.

After school I text my family in our group chat to ask if they're down.

TayTay💜: Hey guys you wanna go to dinner tn I was thinking Olive Garden. That work for you

Dad: I'm down Tay!

Mamma🩷✨: Ofc! What time?

TayTay💜: I was think 6:30 if that works. Besides I have news ur gonna wanna know.

Austin🙄: why is it now gonna get another cat

TayTay💜: why that sounds like a good idea I'm not getting a 4th cat yet. This is an achievement so ur gonna wanna know

Dad: I'll be there. Be safe baby love you

This is gonna be great. They're gonna be pumped! They know how much this choir means to me, and how big of an impact it's had on me. God I'm excited! This so gonna be a year to remember.
