Two women. Different worlds. When they meet, what's going to happen? This is when powers meets music.
Skylor Chen is a real life superhero, elements and everything. She's recovering from the death of her boyfriend, who had died in a war. What will...
Taylor's POV I sat by the window, watching the snow build up on the outside, white frost covering the ground. It was the season of winter, a fitting season to my current mood. Memories of me and Skylor still echoed in my head, refusing to go away, despite numerous attempts to erase her from my mind.
My fingers caressed my skin, touching it tenderly, the way Skylor would have if she was still here. But she wasn't.
I winced as I accidentally touched the tender spot on my right arm, a small shot of pain shooting through my body.
Jake had become worse, his fists a regular visitor to my cheeks. Each day, I would have to bite my lip so hard that it bled, just so that I didn't cry in front of Jake , each day I sat in solitude, regretting my harsh words and actions, wondering about the would've, could've, should've, if I had taken Skylor's hand.
If one thing had been different...would everything be different today?
Torrential waves of regret washed over me. Why has I been so goddamn stupid? Why had I been so blind to the obvious signs? Why didn't I see the red flags?
I fingered my palm, examining the rough callouses that had emerged from what used to be my smooth porcelain skin. What had happened to me?
I cringed and braced for it as I heard the increasingly loud footsteps head toward me. Oh no. I was in trouble.
"Taylor....do you have any idea what happened?" Jake appeared before me, eyes blazing with a scary amount of anger, feeling as if it could pierce through me.
I felt my voice tremble as I looked up,"W-what?" Jake fished out a newspaper report titled, Taylor Swift : Pregnant?

I felt my eyes water as I stared in disbelief. Was...was I really that fat? My hands rubbed my stomach hurriedly, and I realized in mortification that there was a thin layer of fat rolled up. That layer of fat laid there, nothing but a figure of disgust.
Oh gods, I was hideous. Disgusting and fat. No wonder people said I looked pregnant.
"You better get rid of those fats. Or else. You better not let my reputation be tarnished."Jake growled at me, crumpling up the newspaper and ripping it to shreds, like what he did to my heart.
I nodded hastily, bending down to pick up the pieces of paper, almost laughing at the similarities between me and it. Like the newspaper, I felt like I was a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, useless and forsaken.
Skylor's pov Sweat trickled down my forehead as I bent down, gasping for air, stomach having stitches.
Sensei Matsumoto sighed,"Take five, Skylor-san. If you're not fit, how're you going to save the world?"I nodded sheepishly, grabbing my bottle and downing half the water in one breath.
