zach:
i stare at the ceiling above me, breathing lightly.
taylor clouds my head and i can't sleep.
after she ranted to me and the kiss, i left, because her mom said she needed some sleep.
i can't believe he did that to her and then her boyfriend had cancer and...
that kiss.
wow.
she's a great kisser.
shut up zach, it's not going to happen.
i frown as i stare at my white ceiling, trying to decide what to do.
my phone starts buzzing on my counter and i grab it and read the name "taylorrrr💓"
i smile so wise my cheeks hurt.
i slide right and put the phone to my ear.
"hey." i say into the phone, quietly.
"hey, i can't sleep."
"me either."
"wanna meet me at the park in 10?"
my heart comes up my throat.
i get to see her.
"y-yeah. of course, see ya."
"see ya." she says and quietly laughs.
i slip on a gray tshirt and my vans and hop out my window.
heat burns at my cheeks as the cold air hits them, making my smile wider.
she wants to see me.
i get to the park in the next five minutes, and i sit on the bench, twiddling my fingers, nervous.
i hear light footsteps coming up behind me, and my heart rate increases.
i turn around and see her, her jacket flowing behind her because she's running.
"sorry i'm late," she says biting her lip, "my hair kept falling down." she laughs, and i smile.
"well, you look perfect." i say, somehow, even though my heart is stuck in my throat.
she smiles and meets my eyes, tiny pieces of hair falling out.
"so, why couldn't you sleep?" i ask.
her smile fades and she looks off.
"because of what we talked about earlier."
my heart breaks for her in that instant, as i see the sadness in her eyes.
i grab her hand, while mine is shaking, and bring her to sit down.
"hey, look at me."
she does and it takes my breath as it always does.
"i'm here for you."
and then,
her lips meet mine.
and the magic i felt 2 hours ago is back.
