I walked up her doorsteps and rang the door bell. Cory answered the door.
Cory (getting heated): What the fuck are you doing here?!
Me: Cory.. I don't have time to sit here and chat with you. I have to see Taylor. It's is right now a matter of life and death. Please Cory.
Cory stared at me for a few more seconds before he gave me enough space to come into the house. I ran up to Taylor's room and opened the door. She was on her bed alone looking at her TV. She didn't hear me open the door so I knocked lightly. She glanced over. When she saw me, she quickly looked back at the TV.
Taylor: Go away. I don't want to talk to you.
Me: Why not? What did I do?
Taylor: You know what you did.
Me: No I really don't.
I walked into the room and closed the door. I walked slowly over to her bed and sat down on the edge.
Taylor: If you really don't know what you did, then you never really knew me at all.
Me: Taylor... How could you say that? I'm sorry I don't know, but in my defense I was in California.
Taylor: You're on track right now.
Me: What? Brooke? Is it because of Brooke? Because if it is, I don't love Brooke. I love you, Taylor. You and only you. I realized it with Brooke.
Taylor (looking at me with tears streaming down her face, anger and hurt in her eyes): Really?! Because you say "I love you" to every god damn person you are dating! How can I know you love me and not that bitch Brooke?! We never even officially broke up, until now.
Me (unbelievingly, angry at the fact that she was slipping from my fingers): No... No... No! Taylor, I'm here aren't I! You told me to date people there!
Taylor (disappointed): Yeah and you listened... I don't think we can date ever again.
Me (desperately): Taylor! Don't do this! I won't give up! I love you too much!
Taylor (looking away): Please just leave...
Just then, as if he was listening to the whole conversation, Cory walked in.
Cory: You, let's go. Taylor needs to rest. We don't need you to get her heart rate going to fast right now.
I got up and walked to the door. I looked back at Taylor watching the TV.
Me (softly to Taylor): I love you. I will fight every day until I die for you. I have realized that I am in love with you and that no one else matters. It's your turn to realize it now.
I walked out of the room and followed Cory outside.
Cory (turning on me): Stay away from, Taylor.
Me (hands up): I love her, Cory. She loves me. Just wait we will be back together again, soon.
Cory: I highly doubt that.
Me: Well I believe it will happen.
***
It had been three weeks since I last talked to Taylor. School had started and I didn't really talk to anyone except Mac. It was the third day of school, right before school ended.
Mac (walking up behind me, at my locker): Trey, have you heard.
Me: No. What?
Mac: Taylor went on a date with Devon last night.
Me: Ok...
Mac: Well, Sam told me that Taylor had a great time. I'm sorry, Trey.
Me: We are the only two people in this world that believe Taylor and I will get back together, and you're throwing in the towel.
Mac: What do you expect, Trey?
Me: It feels weird...
Mac: Knowing that you and Taylor won't get back together again?
Me (getting my backpack out of my locker and putting it on my back): No. Being the only person who knows we will.
I walked away leaving Mac behind. I was the only one who believed in my relationship with Taylor now. Mac always had faith in everything she believed in. She doesn't anymore, but I do. I know Taylor and I will be together again soon.
I walked to my car, but right before I got in I heard a person call my name.
Girl: Trey!
I turned around to see Taylor walking to me from her car.
Me: Taylor! I heard you went on a date with Devon.
Taylor: Yeah.
Me: So you really moved on from me.
Taylor: I went on a date with Devon. We had a really good time. But there is one problem... (grabbing my face with both her hands) He isn't you. I love you, Trey, only you.
Me: Devon kissed you...
Taylor: Yeah... Wanna do something about it?
I kissed her.
Taylor (breaking away): I want to be with you for the rest of our lives. I love you.
She kissed me again.
