why he left

7. Out Of The Woods

Selena Gomez wasn't as closely tied with next person as she wished she was right now. Sitting around the set of Bad Blood, she sighed and huffed another ten times before Taylor came in.

There was no way she could tell her. Not after what she heard on the ipod.

"What's wrong?" Taylor asked, frowning at Selena.

"Nothing just thinking." Selena replied. 

"Well quit your thinking because we gotta celebrate!" Cara yelled running into the room, followed by a squealing Zendaya before Taylor could reply.

"C'mon Sel up, up we gotta go." Cara laughed, pulling Selena into a standing position. Selena couldn't help but smile when her friends pulled her into the exit.

Selena dodged Taylor nervously throughout  dinner, she kept making sure she wasn't being left alone with her. And she knew Taylor noticed. Hell, even Ellie noticed. She shot Selena suspicious looks twice. But then again what she had in mind wasn't something  that could be easily done.

Finally, they both waved goodbye to Hailee and they were alone in the limo.

"Selena's house please." Taylor spoke into the intercom.

"So are you gonna tell me what's wrong?" She asked turning to her

"You wouldn't believe me if I did." Selena answered carefully.

"Try me." Selena hesitated.

"Zayn Malik, he left me something. Like a sort of a thing that kinda um influenced say his leave." Selena explained slowly. Taylor shot her a disbelieving look until she realized Selena wasn't kidding around.

"Why you?" Taylor asked her finally.

"The after party." Selena replied quietly. She took a deep breath.

It was now or never.

"Tay, could you do me huge favour?"

Taylor Swift was never nervous. Not before an award show atleast. She liked to think that she was composed and collected but not tonight however.

Tonight she was on a mission.

"Hey babe you okay?" Calvin asked her.  She smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I'm really good actually." She replied distracted, One Direction had just entered.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Calvin asked, following her gaze to the them. Taylor shook her head.

"I'm fine I promise." Taylor said, smiling softly. Calvin reluctantly nodded and turned his attention to the stage.

Taylor's eyes never left the sight of One Direction.

She sat calculating her next move, planning out various ways of casually approaching the boy who broke her heart once upon a time. She turned to her brother sitting next to her and shot him a sly smile.

"Austin would you do your favourite sister a huge favour?"

"You're my only sister but sure Tay." Taylor rolled her eyes at his comment but continued to launch into her explanation.

"Shit you're One Direction!" Austin was yelling two hours later. He had strategically power walked to the bathroom when he noticed that they were heading that way. Louis' eyes widened and he let out an awkward chuckle.

"Yep that's us." Niall answered good-naturedly.

"Big fan." Austin told, reaching forward to shake their hands. They made a few minutes of small talk, Austin making sure to crack some good jokes.
