A Second Thought (a taylor swift and ed sheeran fanfic)

Breaking

Taylor's POV

As my dancers and I stood at the edge of the stage holding hands and taking our bows, I could feel my heart beat beginning to quicken. Only a few more moments until I get to see Ed again and get to be warm in his arms again. Once my dancers and I have taken our bows I run through the still falling confetti to the top of the stairs and stand on the lift. Then like every night the lift begins to fall but half way down the lift just drops suddenly. The sudden momentum and stop throws me off balance and onto the hard concrete and wires next to the lift.

     "TAYLOR!" I hear someone yell then I see Ed run up to me sit and place me into his lap, "Are you ok?" he asks me

      "Yea just a little banged up is all." I tell him as he pushes my wild hair back from my face to get a better look at my injuries.

     "You have to be careful Tay." he says as he pulls me into his arms

     "Its not like I chose to fall off the lift Ed." I say laughing a little bit into his warm chest.

      God he smells so good, like a mixture of vanilla, coffee, and something that is all his own. I could have stayed like that forever had my mother not come running from around the corner.

    "Oh my god Taylor are you ok?!" she asks partially out of breath as I begin to stand up out of Ed's lap.

   "Yes mom I'm fine, just had a tech problem with the lift and the momentum threw me off that is all."

    "Honey you have to be careful." she says

   " Like I told Ed, I did not chose to fall off of the lift mother." I said while laughing 

   "Ok Taylor, are you ok to go to club RED tonight?" she asks

    "Yea mom, I'm fine just some band-aids and cover up and I'm good." I tell her as her, Ed, and I begin to walk back to my dressing room.

   I quickly realize how badly this situation can go with both my mother and Ed being near me and each other at the same time. I'm just hoping that Ed doesn't try to do anything around my mom right this moment.Sure I'm going to have to tell my mom about Ed and I eventually, but I'd rather do it later when we can sit down and talk about it.

Ed's POV 

    Man I was really scared there for a second. Seeing Taylor fall off the lift like that and how she fell into the wires and down onto the concrete. I'm just happy that she wasn't seriously hurt but now that we are walking back to her dressing room something about her seems off. It was really weird how she jumped out of my lap as fast as she could when her mom came round. Once we arrive at her dressing room, Andrea says how she has to go and help with setting club RED up and all. She hugs Taylor and says her good byes to both of us as she heads further down the hallway. As Taylor and I enter her dressing room I say to her,

    "Taylor are you sure your ok? You didn't seem like yourself walking back here."  I ask her as she sits down in her chair in front of her mirror.

   I can see the hesitation in her eyes then she breaks down in front of me. I rush over to her and hold her tight in my arms.

   "Shh, shh." I tell her while rubbing small circles on her back with my hand.

    "Mom..... you......me.....dating....." is all I can understand through her sobs.

    "Taylor look at me." I say while kneeling down in front of her.

    Her sobs finally subside after a few more moments and she pulls her hands away from her tear stained face. Her makeup continues to run down her face and mascara is all over her hands. I reach across her to a tissue box that is sitting on her table and begin wiping the make up off of her face and hands.

  "Taylor what happened?" I asked her in a hushed tone.

   I feel her body tense up once more and she takes a deep breath before finally talking.

  Taylor's POV

  Well I guess it's now or never, I take a deep breath before saying,

  "Ed do you remember when Caitlin came into my room when you and I were talking and said that my mom wanted to talk to me?"

  He shook his head yes wanting to give me his full attention as he held both of my hands in his.

   "Well when I was talking with her she was asking question about things that she had heard about me and some one else being in a relationship."

   "Well, Taylor she should know better then to trust the tabloids by now." he said while looking up me.

   "I know that's what I had told her but she said that she had not heard it from tabloids but from people in the band." 

  " Well who is it about? You and Harry? Jake?" he asked with worry in his voice.

  "No, no not them." I told him reassuringly.

  "Then who?"
  
   I had to take a shaky, deep breath before answering him. I looked him in the eye and said,

   "You"

    His eyes widen as soon as the words came out of my mouth. It took a few seconds but then he replied,

   "Ok so then what did she say?"

   I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, a few spilled over and Ed wiped them away and grabbed my hand once more.

    "She said that she did not want me to date you." I said not able to meet his eyes once the words left my mouth.

   " Wow, um ok" he said drawing his hands away from mine.

    In that moment I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces and only Ed could put them back together.
