Rianne's pov:

I was hanging out with Jack upstairs. Believe it or not, but I think our friendship was really improving. He just spent time with me and was a great listener. Sometimes I felt like talked too much about Taylor and he seemed upset, but he still listened. I was picking up my room and he sat on my bed. While I was talking, he interrupted me.

"Hey I just wanted to tell you something.I know I've probably said this a million times, but as much as I love you and I wish I could start over, I want you to know that I'm going to respect whatever decision you make."

"This doesn't have to be some type of competition." I said looking at Jack. He was confused, but really. I did not want a competition.

"I know that." He said. I finished cleaning up my room and I sat by Jack who just stared off into space. I thanked him for changing his attitude about everything. He smiled back and gave me a hug. It had been a while since I'd done this so I left the room. Jack just sat there and I went downstairs to the family room. In it was a big grand piano. I really love music and have been practicing piano since I was six. I sat down on the bench and began to play Just give me a reason by P!nk and Nate Ruess. The words were just there and came out like honey.

Right from the start, you were a thief. You stole my heart. And I, your willing victim.

I sang along to the piano and something came to me.

I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty. And with every touch, you fixed them. Now you've been talking in your sleep. Uh Oh. Things you'd never say to me. Uh Oh. Tell me that you've had enough of our love. Our love.

This explained me and Taylor. I continued singing realizing how much this explained it all. Why couldn't he ever just give me a reason to forgive me?

Just give me a reason.
Just a little bit's enough.
Just a second we're not broken just bent.
And we can learn to love again.
It's in the stars.
It's been written in the scars on our hearts.
We're not broken just bent.
And we can learn to love again.

I felt tingling go up my spine. This really did just explain us. I sang my heart out until I felt someone tap my on the shoulder. Taylor. I turned around and faced him. He was smiling which made me automatically smile like an idiot.

"I haven't heard you play piano in a really long time. I remember you used to always play."

"Yea, I know it's not amazing. I'm just working on it. It's terrible actually.." I said. I didn't really realize how loud I was singing and playing. Taylor sat on the bench.

"It was good. Beautiful actually." He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear and then put his fingers on the piano keys. I blushed inside. Taylor said my piece of music was beautiful. I put my fingers on the keys and we began to play a duet. I never knew he could play so well. Taylor was singing this line. In vines, he always said that he was terrible, but in reality he was extremely good.

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind

We both stopped playing and looked at eachother. He was shaking. I grabbed his warm hand and he began to calm down. I think he was realizing it now.

"I'm really sorry that I said I never wanted to see you. I never meant it." He said.

"I know. I was a jerk. I'm just glad that we are okay now."

"If you think about it, this song really explains us." He whispered into my ear while stroking my hair.

"I have thought that too."

We continued singing the chorus together. Our voices matched in perfect harmony and I noticed some people were listening. I didn't care. We came to the last part and we began to just become amazed when we sang it. I don't know what I was feeling, but I felt happy. I think Taylor did too. He was smiling while singing it.

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

The song came to an end. All Taylor said was "wow" at the end. Taylor and I were playing some random chords and scales after the song just for practice. Something really odd happened. I was playing and Taylors hand touched mine light and soft. I smiled, but he automatically pulled it back.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"It's fine." I said.

We stayed silent for a minute and then it happened. Taylor grabbed onto my hand with tears in his eyes. I couldn't tell if he was crying of sadness or happiness. Then with our hands intertwined, Taylor leaned forward closing his eyes. What was I supposed to do?...



Author's note:

Hey baes. SO what did you think? Thank's so much for 5.5k reads(: can we get some more? love you all. and what do you think Taylor is going to do. I have to give credits to the song "Just Give Me A Reason". It's amazing and you should look it up. It really reminds me of Rianne and Taylor <3.

One more thing before I go. I think we need a ship name!(: If you can comment your ideas below for "Jack and Rianne" and "Taylor and Rianne", please do. I will post the winners soon. I need a ship name so bad. Alright, bye baes. Hope you liked it.
