Chapter Ten

The meeting was over, and Charlie left the cafe with a proud smile.
The sky was gray, and dark it looks like it would rain anytime soon.

Grace and Taylor stood up from their seats, and finished their drinks.

"I'm so glad we'll be working with you." Grace said, as she finished the last sip from her cup.

"Me too. I can't believe this is happening. Its just to surreal." Taylor admitted.

"Everything will be fine. Just think that this is for the best." Grace smiled and grabbed her bag.

"Thanks Grace." Taylor said.

"No problem."

As they were about to leave, Taylor looked around and spotted someone, a familiar someone.

Their eyes met, Taylor couldn't move or shift her eyes they were just staring at each other.
It was like they were stuck in a trance, a trance you couldn't escape.

"Taylor? Are you alright?" Grace asked with a worried look and she placed a hand on Taylor's shoulder.

Taylor snapped out of her little trance, and shifted her eyes on Grace.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired that's all." Taylor lied, she couldn't say her ex was here. And Taylor couldn't say, that the one who inspired her song was just around the corner.

"Well, let's get going shall we?" Grace said, and she guided Taylor to the door.

━━

Harry saw Taylor leaving with the girl.
Harry didn't know what to do, should he catch up with her, or should he just stay and watch the true love of his life walk away?

By the window, Harry could see Taylor and the girl chatting a bit, The girl waved at Taylor and went their separate ways.
As the girl was heading to the left side of the street, Taylor was walking the opposite, making a good opportunity to talk with her.

Harry took a last sip from his cup, and quickly exited the cafe.
He walked down the busy streets, bumping into people, but he saw her looking down at the pavement while walking.

As Harry got closer to Taylor, he could feel his heart racing and his palms were getting sweaty.
But, once he was close enough, He placed a hand on Her shoulder.

Taylor abruptly stopped walking, and turned around to see who placed a hand on her shoulder.
Taylor looked at him, and he was the one who broke her heart.

━━

As Grace bid Taylor goodbye, they went to their separate ways.

Taylor walked down into the busy streets, filled with restaurants, shops and boutiques.

As she was walking, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Taylor stopped walking, and turned around to see who it was.
And he was the one who Taylor didn't want to see.

"Harry?" Taylor asked in a confused tone.

"Um, Hey." Harry said awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"What is it?" Taylor asked, she just wanted to get this over with.

"I-I was hoping if we c-could, um, take a walk..?" Harry stuttered.

"Not now Harry." Taylor said and she walked away from Harry.
But Harry didn't gave up that easily.
Harry still followed her.

Taylor noticed that Harry was still Following her, and she turned around to face him.

"What do you want, Styles?" Taylor asked.
Taylor never calls Harry 'Styles' she only calls him that when she's irritated with him.

"I was just hoping if we could-"

"What now? You want a walk with me? Don't you remember what happened? We just broke up three weeks ago, and now you're here saying Do you want to go for a walk." Taylor said with a frustrated tone.

"I'm sorry." and that was all that Harry could muster.

"Sorry? Let me tell you, that Sorry doesn't fix everything." Taylor scoffed and continued walking down the street, but this time Harry didn't Follow her.

Harry just watched Taylor disappear, from the crowds of people walking.

And Taylor was right, Sorry doesn't fix everything.
