A/N based off the song taylor and Travis get into it before her birthday and he misses it
You should've been there. Should've burst through the door with that 'baby I'm right here' smile and it would've felt like a million little shinning stars had just aligned and I would have been so happy
*Taylors pov*
Today's my birthday. I'm spending it in Rhode Island. Travis and I have been fighting for weeks and we haven't been talking. Britt and Pat and Jason and Kylie and the kids are coming along with Donna, Ed, Aric, Ross and many more of our friends. I don't know if Travis is coming today. He hasn't even called me. He never misses my birthday. I push it aside and help Blake start setting up for my party.
After a few hours, people start arriving. Aric and Ross are the first to arrive and I don't know why but I hold out hope that he's gonna be with them but he's not. Ross pulls me into a big hug and I try not to break down then and there. Ross has been like the big brother I never had. Soon everyone who was invited is here. Except him. I grab a glass of my favorite wine and hang out in the corner drinking it. I'm not really in the mood to socialize tonight. I check my phone again and take it off do not disturb to see no missed texts or calls from him.
I put my glass down and head to the bathroom. I've tried to keep the tears at bay all night and I can't do it anymore. I slide down the wall as a sob escapes. There's a knock on the door and Britt and Kylie open it. Behind them are Aric and Ross. "Tay." Ky says bending down next to me. "He promised he'd be here." I choke out.
And the hours pass by now I just wanna be alone but your close friends always seem to know when somethings really wrong so they follow me down the hall and there in the bathroom I try not to fall apart and the sinking feeling starts as I say hopelessly "he said he'd be here."
After the party is over and everyone leaves. Well Britt stays cause she doesn't trust to leave me alone. I take off my engagement ring. "Are you sure you wanna do that?" Britt says. I nod. My phone rings and I see it's Travis. "I'm gonna let you have privacy." Britt says and goes outside. I answer. "I'm sorry I didn't make it." He says. "I'm sorry too. I'm done." I say and hang up.
And they're all standing around me singing 'happy birthday to you.' But there was one thing missing. and that was the moment I knew ooh I knew. Ooh
You called me later and said 'I'm sorry I didn't make it' and I said 'I'm sorry too'. And that was the moment I knew.
