Taylor's POV
Me and Joe have been dating for 6 months now and I am finally taking him to Nashville to meet my parents and Austin for his birthday.
Since I have been living in London with Joe for the last few months we have had to fly to get here and we are currently in the car. Joe is driving and I am in the passenger seat looking out the window with memories flooding back to me as we drive along the road to get to my parents house. I look over to see Joe's leg bouncing up and down as we have stopped at a traffic light and I could tell that he was nervous. I put my hand on his thigh and he looks over at me.

"Babe what's wrong?" I ask him, already knowing what he is going to say.

"Do you think they will like me?" He says. I was about to reply when he continues "I mean in the past you have dated people who have an amazing career and are all well known who have more than enough money to look after you but I'm just Joe Alwyn no one knows me, I'm not famous, I go to auditions but I never get the part. I'm the guy that has took their daughter away from them and has asked you to move to London with me instead of with them. I'm just scared that maybe I'm not good enough or deserve to date you, your such an amazing person and you deserve someone so much better than me who can make you happy and give you everything you want."
He looks over at me and I can see how sad and sincere he was about what he said.

"Joe I promise that you have nothing to worry about, my parents will love you. When I spoke to them the other day on the phone they couldn't wait to meet the guy that has made their daughter so happy. They don't care about how well known you are or how much money you make they just want you to have respect and be a nice guy. I have never been happier than when I am with you and in the past only a few people who I have dated have met my parents. You are the one that makes me happy and I don't care about how much money you make or what you buy me, I don't want to go to posh, fancy restaurants every weekend or for you to rent a space just so we could have a date. I like just sitting on the sofa with you watching Netflix with a takeaway and laughing at the cats when they do something stupid or crazy. I like it when we go to the beach and watch the sunset or going to the park to have a picnic. I love you because of your personality and I am the one who doesn't deserve you, you are an amazing person and I wish I was more like you, you give so much to everyone else and don't think about how it will affect you, you just make sure that the person you are helping is the happiest they could be."

By this point we are pulling up outside the house and he has calmed down a little bit.

"Don't worry, I will be right here beside you holding your hand." I say to him.

"Thank you" he replies "I love you too"

We get out the car hand in hand and I knock on the door to see Austin standing there with the biggest smile on his face.

"Hey little brother, happy birthday!" I said with the same grin on my face.

"Thanks Tay" he replies while hugging me then puts his arm out to shake Joes hand "Hey I'm Austin, you must be Joe"

"Yeah I am, it's nice to meet you Austin" Joe responds shaking his hand then laughed at a joke they made.

We walk in and I shout for my mum and dad to come in and they come to greet me and Joe. My mom hugging him and my dad shaking his hand. After a while they start telling stories about Austin and I from when we were little and Joe starts laughing a genuine laugh that I can't help but take a mental picture of the moment in my mind so I can always remember this feeling and I know that this is the guy I want to spend my life with because without him I wouldn't feel whole.
