this doesn't make sense i know but let's pretend taylor released a song recently LOL.

ivy knew that they had broke up, of course that's the first thing george does was tell the girl. she deserved to know.

3:05am bst. 10:05pm edt. august 25th 2024. 2 days after arthur and rory broke up. radio silence.

a ring broke the silence in ivy's apartment. she quickly puts down the ice creams and wonders who would be ringing her at this time in the morning.

she doesn't even bother reading the name before she picks up. "hello." she says down the phone.

"hey ivy, i have a proposal." the woman, who ivy recognised to be taylor, says to her. ivy sighs slightly and runs her hand through her hair.

"hey taylor, it's like 3am here so this better be good." she laughs slightly, knowing the singer/songwriter will have had a good reason to call her.

"so i'm releasing a song in four days, and something was missing and i want you to do a feature with me type thing before the grammys!" she rambles on and ivy just sits in shock.

she was beyond shocked. she knew being friends with the taylor swift had its perks, but this this was something else. something major. a whole ass song. WITH TAYLOR SWIFT.

"yeah yeah of course i'll do it!" she says down the phone, obviously she was never going to say no. ever.

"good because the flight is booked from heathrow to new york in about 5 hours, i knew you'd say yes!" taylor says down the phone as ivy screams slightly.

she was lost for words. she was scared. she was excited. she did know what to do.

"thank you so much taylor, seriously." she jumps up and down with excitement as taylor laughs. "wait what's the song called?"

"it's called false god, it's about how even though people say it's not going to work, you do." she says.

that was all too familiar for ivy. she knew that all too well - pun intended. well apart from the bit where her and arthur do work it out.

"cool i'll start packing." she says as taylor hangs up.

ivy starts screaming, she doesn't even think before running into the boys apartment opposite to see chris, george and the two arthur's sitting and playing mario kart.

"right let's ignore everything going on right now and the fact that you're all up at 3am, pause the fucking game i'm leaving for america in 5 hours for a day or so and i'm saying bye!" she says as george pauses the game.

"what?" chris asks her. the same chris she's supposed to be mad at but is way too excited to think about that right now.

"i'm going to be a feature on taylor swifts new song and you can't tell anyone!" she shouts, jumping up and down with joy. she was so excited.

george is the first up, going over to bring the girl into a big hug. "ivy i'm so fucking proud of you!" he says, spinning the girl around in his arms.

arthur hill is the next to congratulate her, despite them not being that close. "you're living chris' dream i think." he jokes, giving the girl a small hug.

"i'm so sorry about everything ivy, but i'm so so happy and proud of you!" chris says, also giving the girl a hug.

"chris you were being a good friends, forget about it yeah?" she smiles, wanting her friend back. she'd missed chris if truth be told.

arthur stands up and faces ivy.

"i'm so proud of you ives, you deserve it." he says to her, bringing her into a hug. "i'm so sorry for everything rory did or said to you," he carries on.

"you guys broke up huh?" ivy questions, knowing what the answer was but wanting to hear it from him.

"yeah, well she broke up with me." he chuckles awkwardly. "i really hope we can be friends?" he questions.

friends. after everything friends isn't right.

the next words that come out of her mouth are unexpected.

"come to new york with me for the night, please." she looks him dead in the eye as he just freezes.

he knows he has to say yes.

"ok ives, i'll go to new york with you."
