The Story of Our Song ||Laylor||

Chapter 21: Gσσ∂вує

"Your the one that I love, and I'm saying goodbye..."

-Louis-

"Listen, Tay. It wasn't my choice to break up with you," I pause taking a deep breath but Taylor interrupts me. "I know, it was management's. Niall told me all about the contract," she says, her face passive. "Niall your dead," I mutter, but I guess Taylor heard me. "Niall's going to be dead? Well, you obviously weren't going to tell me! At least I have someone like Niall that I can count on to tell me the truth, unlike some people!" She yells at me.

I look down, because I know it's true. I wasn't planning on telling her. This whole thing is going to be a whole lot harder than I thought.

But I'm willing to do it.

For her.

I lift my head back up to look her into the eyes. "Listen, Tay, do you want the whole story?" I ask. "Well I sure don't want anymore lies," she says venomously. I sigh, but keep my eyes locked on hers. "When Magee talked to me, I didn't want to do it, because you were my best friend, but he forced me to. I know I should've told you about it, and I'm sorry I didn't, I didn't want to lose the friendship we had," I paused to see her reaction.

"And look how that turned out for you," she says. I sit down on the bed with her. "I'll admit, I didn't like you, like, like-like you. I hadn't gotten over Eleanor, but then once I broke up with you, I realized that I did actually have massive feelings for you, they were just hidden underneath my denial," I say and look up at her.

She looks at me. "Your only saying that because you need me to continue going out with you for the publicity," she says. "That's not true! The only reason I broke up with you was because Magee told me we had enough publicity and I had to break up with you. You know that day on your birthday? Yeah, I was planning on throwing you a surprise party, but Management got this great idea for me to cheat on you on your birthday! Camilla didn't want to do it either! That necklace I got you, that was real. I wanted to get you the best present I could have gotten you at the time. So I tried to make it up to you also by throwing that surprise party where John beat me up! I like you Taylor! I'm sure of it now! It only took you leaving for me to actually realize it!" I stop and she's looking back at the wall. "Please, forgive me," I whisper.

She reaches up her arms and unclips the necklace from around her neck. She looks at it in her hand, before looking up at me. She grabs my hand and presses the necklace into my palm. "I'm sorry Louis," she says and closes my fingers around it. She gets up and starts walking towards the closed door. She opens it and takes a step out.

-Taylor-

"Please, forgive me," He whispers.

Forgive him?

I want to, so bad. But I can't. He has hurt me too many times and I can't go through that again. Even after this speech.

I reach my arms up and unclasp the necklace from around my neck. I look at it one last time. It's so beautiful, but the longer I keep it, the more I'm hurting myself. I look up at him.

I grab his hand and press the necklace into his palm. "I'm sorry Louis," I say, meaning it, and I close his fingers around it. I get up and start walking towards the closed door. Once I leave, that's it. He won't try to come after me, because he doesn't actually care about me.

But if he does come after me, I will know his feelings are true. I will forgive him.

If he doesn't, well then he can leave and never talk to me again. Because next time he tries to talk to me and he didn't come after me then he will be screwed.

I open the door and start walking out. I stopped by an hand grabbing my arm and spinning me around, and I can't help the smile that comes to my face.

-Louis-

I feel a sense of deja vu.

Her walking away, because she's scared of something. And this time, she's scared of me. And what will happen if she forgives me.

I'm not letting her walk away from me this time.

I stand up and clutch her necklace. I grab her arm and spin her around to face me. I press the necklace back into her palm and look into her eyes. I see her smile and it's then that I'm completely sure about the words that are about to leave my mouth.

(I should stop it here and be really cruel, but then that would be no fun to see your reactions, so I'll be nice)

"I love you," I say before pressing my lips against hers. She immediately tangles her fingers into my hair. My arms move to around her waist.

We pull away and she leans her mouth close to my ear. "I love you," she says and I can't help the smile on my face.

I've done a lot of thinking during the days since she left, and I've realized that I've liked her ever since our picnic together in the park over 6 months ago, I was just in denial of it.

It was her smile that made me sure of my love for her. I'm pretty sure she has forgiven me.

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" I ask and she nods. I smile and press my lips to hers again.

"Well looks like you two made up," I hear a voice and we both pull away to see Niall with a camera. "Niall!" Taylor yells at him and slaps his shoulder. Niall is laughing and soon so are Taylor and I. "Yeah, we did though," Taylor said and Niall claps his hands. "Good! Cause that was a really cute picture," he says with a smile. "Why did you even come in here?" I ask, groaning. He ruined a perfect moment.

"Well it had gotten pretty quiet. I needed to make sure you both weren't dead," he says with a joking tone and a wink. I roll my eyes and Niall laughs.

"I'll just leave you two here alone and I'm gonna go join Harry," he says backing out of the door. He runs down the hallway and I hear the door open. "Use protection!" He yells into the room and the hotel door shuts. Taylor's face gets extremely red and so does mine.

"That little leprechaun is seriously going to get it," I mutter and Taylor grabs my hand. "Well, now that your here, we might as well go out somewhere. I'm kind of hungry. All this yelling is hard work," she says and I agree. I grab my phone and wait for Taylor to get ready.

Soon, we head out and are walking to the nearest Taco Bell. We never let go of hands the entire walk. I never wanted to let her go after I almost lost her. I notice she had put back on her necklace which makes me smile.

"I love you," I remind her and she smiles. "I love you, too," she says. "I could get used to the sound of that," I state and she smiles even wider, mimicking mine.

We enter the Taco Bell and order our food, before going to sit down.
