When i met you in the summer

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

Six months had gone by. Taylor and I had been face timing a lot, but we couldn't think of a chance to see each other. I started to get really depressed. He would call and text me all the time to see if I was okay. I really wasn't. I had separation anxiety and I felt like nothing could be worse. Until I realized my birthday was a week away. I wasn't excited for it. I had nothing planned. I wasn't going to do anything anyway. For the past few months all I would do is sit in my room and watch orange is the new black for hours upon hours. It was really hard for me. I was mostly worried that Tay would forget about me. I have horrible trust issues, and to let Tay come into my life and be this big of a part of it, was really hard for me. I didn't think Tay knew my birthday was coming up. I even forgot it was. That whole week my mom would ask me what I wanted to do for it. I never really had an answer. I didn't want to do anything. All I wanted was to be left alone. Like I had been for the past months. I didn't need a birthday cake or presents or a party. I really just wanted taylor. I would always think about him. The hardest thing about all of it was that he got to meet thousands of beautiful girls everyday on his tours and at his meet and greets. That would always get to me. I don't look nearly as pretty as most of them. The thought that he spent most of his time with them, but i hadn't seen him in six months, but then I had to realize that's what he has to do. Taylor was worried about me though. I could tell he actually cared. My birthday had finally come. The only reason I was excited was because I was going to see grace. The door bell rung. "Hey Y/N I've missed you" grace said to me as she walked in. She knew about my depression. We had been talking and she was always there for me. It was great to have people in your life who actually cared for you. All day we watched old movies. It was the best. I forgot about everything and just had a good time. Until I realized something was missing. I hadn't texted or called taylor all day. "Baaaabe. Hru? Haven't talked to you today" I sent taylor. "I'm great babe. I miss you!" He said back. I was right. He obviously didn't know it was my birthday. Once it got later in the evening grace and I went up to a restaurant for my birthday dinner. We came home and my parents had bought me a cake. So my family and grace sang happy birthday to me, we ate the cake, and then it was time for presents. I opened my brothers gift first. It was a little bracelet and rings. Then I opened grace's gift. She gave me a certificate for us to go get a massage and our nails done. Then my parents gift. It was just a card. In the card there was a hundred dollar bill. The card said, "we love you sweetie! And so does Tay. Look out the window and it'll make your day!" I ran to the window and looked out. Tay was out there! In his car. He honked his horn. I ran outside in tears. He opened the door and we ran to each other. I hugged him so tight. His shirt was probably soaking wet from all the tears rolling down my cheek. I was a mess. I was not expecting that at all. "SO YOU DID KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY?" I asked him excitedly. He looked in my eyes and lifted my chin up with his finger. "How could I not? Babe I know more than you think I do. Not in a creepy way though" he said to me laughing. I just smiled. "Well happy birthday. I love you so much Y/N" taylor said to me kissing my forehead. I was still in shock. I told you he cared about me. He traveled all the way from Indiana to be with me on my birthday. He grabbed his bag, I took his hand and we walked inside. "Not that I care very much cause I'm just happy you're here, but how long will you be staying?" I asked taylor giggling. "For as long as I can beautiful" he said to me smiling. My whole family and grace greeted him as he walked in. "Did you have any idea about this grace?" I asked her. "Nope. I was as clueless as you were Y/N" so I guess only my parents knew? Tay, grace, and I walked upstairs. "I'll let you two be alone tonight. I won't spend the night" grace said to us. I felt bad, but it was very nice of her to offer. Grace left around 10 o'clock. "Bye! Happy birthday!" She shouted up to me from the driveway. Now it was just Tay and I. We were tired so we went to sleep. That day he said he wanted to take me to Washington DC. Which was about 45 minutes away. I got showered, applied light makeup, and started to chose what I wanted to wear. I chose to wear light skinny jeans with a crop top and a flannel shirt tied around my waist. Taylor sheltered and came out of the bathroom in his towel. I looked up and down at him and but my lip. He was so hot. He smiled at me and began to get dressed. We walked downstairs and said goodbye to everyone. Once we were in DC it was around 11 o'clock. We decided to go get some breakfast at a little cafe. After our breakfast we planned our day. First, we went to the spy museum and a few other museums. Then we walked to the White House. We took some pictures in front of it and put them on snapchat. The day had started out great. We walked to the Lincoln memorial next. We took pictures and read about the history of the memorial. It was getting pretty late so we decided to go do one last thing. The Jefferson memorial and the cherry blossom trees. He took my hand as we walked up the steps into it. It was beautiful. Again, we read about the history and we even had a tour guide showing us everything. It was amazing. Once the day was getting to an end, we walked over to the cherry blossom trees that overlooked the memorial. "Hey babe. I non I haven't gotten you a birthday present yet" taylor said to me looking in my eyes. "Babe! You coming all the way down here to be with me is enough. I'm so thankful you did" I responded to him. He just smiled and took my hand. "Well id feel guilty if I didn't get you anything" taylor said to me smiling. He pulled out a little blue box. He got down on one knee. "Y/N you are the most beautiful person in the whole world and I couldn't think of anyone else I'd want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?" Oh. My. God. It was beautiful. Taylor on one knee looking over the Jefferson memorial with all of these cherry blossom trees and the gorgeous sunset. It was perfect. "YES! Yes yes yes yes. Oh my god taylor yes" he slid the ring on my finger and jumped up to give me a hug. "I love you so much" I said to him crying. "I love you too. Happy birthday" I looked down at the ring. It was beautiful. It was a diamond incrusted white gold ring with little diamonds running up the sides and 2 diamonds on the top that had the gold swirled in between the 2 of them. It was gorgeous and this was the best gift anyone could ever ask for. We walked back to the car and drove home. I gathered my whole family onto the couch. "So we have some news!" I told everyone. "You better not be pregnant" my mom said to me. "Nah haha she's not pregnant." Taylor assured her. "WE R ENGAGED!" I shouted out. I was really nervous to tell everyone so I just had to do it. "Oh my god! Yay! you'll move out. I'll get your room. Now bye everyone" my brother shouted out as he walked away. My parents were both shocked. "But I thought you were going to college! And getting an education and waiting till you are older to get married!" My mom complained. "Well first of all, I'm still going to college. Second, I'm still going to get a good education and be independent. And third, I am gonna wait to get married. It's not like we are having a wedding tomorrow. We could be engaged for a billion years and not to be married. So it's totally different. I thought you'd be happy. Thanks so much" I said to her with an annoyed voice. "I'm sorry. I think it's great, I just feel like you are young" she said back to me. "Well thank you so much. I'm so happy you are happy for me. I'm gonna go upstairs now." I took Taylor's hand and walked up. I was so pissed. None of them were happy. "Well tomorrow we can take grace out to lunch to tell her" I told taylor. He agreed. We got ready for bed. I hopped in the shower, and after about five minutes of being in there Tay walked in. Once we finished showering I took my makeup off, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. I put the towel in my hair and got dressed. I just slipped on an oversized t-shirt. I pulled my hair out of the towel, brushed it, and put it in a messy bun. I went over and got in bed. Taylor came in right after I did. "We should just move in together" Tay suggested in a joking voice. I actually wanted to. I know that he was joking, but I really want to move in with him. "Babe. I actually think we should" I said back to him in a more serious voice. "Okay then. We will go house hunting soon. Where do you want to move?" He asked me. "Seriously? Are you joking?" I asked back laughing at him. "No. I'm seriously not joking. Where should we move" I began to get excited. "It should be somewhere either in Tennessee, like Nashville, or California, like LA, or near my family or your family. Those are our four options." He assured me. The Nashville was for their music career and the California was for their music and acting career. "Let's go to Cali first Tay" I suggested. We made plans to leave in a week. For the week that we were in Maryland we just did random, fun, memorable things together. I've wanted to move in with him for a while now so this time we are finally doing it. We've been together for almost a year and I couldn't imagine anyone else id want to spend my whole life with. I said bye to my family and Tay and I headed to the airport. It's was early in the morning so I just wore my leggings and a sweat shirt. Our flight to California went very well. It left at 12:00 and we got in around 5:15. The first part of California we are looking for homes in was LA. We checked in to the hotel and then he took me out to get in and out burger. Once we were finished we decided to just go back to the hotel. We wanted sleep because we had to wake up early to look at houses. "I was thinking the realtor would show us some apartments. Did you want a house or an apartment?" Tay asked me. "I think we should have an apartment temporarily and then when we get married and everything, we will get an actual house." I suggested. He liked that idea. That morning we got ready and met up with the realtor. The first apartment she took us to was a small apartment over looking the city. It was nice, but I think it was a little too small. The next place she took us to was an old apartment building that had the best view ever, but needed lots of work. The final day we had in LA to look at houses, she took us to a modern apartment. Part of it looked over the city and part of it looked over the ocean. It was beautiful. "I think we are sold. I don't even want to look anywhere else" taylor said laughing. I completely agreed. It was a bit over our price range, but it was Perfect for us. "Well I guess we could take this one, and go home to get our stuff to move out!" I shouted out with excitement. That night we decided we didn't need to go anywhere else in California to find a house. We just stayed in LA for a week. A few days into our trip we met up with cam, Nash, and hayes. We all went to the beach. Hayes' girlfriend, Alex, was there. Alex was really nice. Even though she was only 14, She was really mature and nice. That whole day we played catch on the beach, we went for a walk, and we played volleyball. We left the beach and we all went back to cam and Nash's apartment.
