The Other Side of the door (Taylor Swift)

Chapter 7: Innocent

Nathan

At the end of the day. Class was over, so I went at the bookstore. Lena didn't go to class and I haven't seen her all day. I hop in my car and went to the bookstore.

As I was about to enter, I saw Lena at one of the chairs, trying to ignore her before she saw me. I went to the aisle where a book caught my attention. As I was about to pull the book out of the shelf, I saw Lena's face and she saw mine. Trying to act normal I slid the book back and went straight to the exit.

As I was about to walked out, Lena rushed and grabbed my hand but as soon as I felt her hand, on the other side of the street I saw 'her' looking at us. She was holding a cat carrier. She turned her back away just as I was about to run after her.

Lena held onto me and didn't let me go, "I thought I told you to stay away from people you don't know!"

I responded "I think I know her better than I knew you, and you shouldn't judge her because you don't even know her."

"And you know HER that well?!" she asked but I didn't answer her and went away.

I arrived home feeling sick about why I stayed when I could have just said it was none of her business.

I opened my laptop only to find it was still at the site where Lena picked the song. Before I press the power off, I noticed the picture of the artist, a girl with the same facial structure, body physique, hair color, and those blue eyes, when I scrolled down, her name I finally saw, Taylor Swift was how I read it.

She has the striking resemblance of Alison, then it hit me, what if Alison was 'the' Taylor Swift?.

I asked myself a few times if it was real, that means I talked, met, and hugged a person who was known all over the world, OH MY GOD!!!!!, I think Id die.

To get the curiosity out of my mind. I grabbed my coat, rushed outside and ran straight to her house. ( Just to remind you I needed a car but I ran. ) I ran till I finally reached her house. I knocked on her door but there was no answer.

I knocked again only to find myself getting pushed away.

"Go away!" she yelled. I didn't move, it was like a thunder hit me when I heard her say that. I couldn't accept her response.

I yelled at her saying "I wont go anywhere! Even if I die out here because of hypothermia. (just kidding I don't want to die just yet) I'll wait out here till you come out."

"Please, let me talk to you."

"I don't care what you do!" she shouted, I heard her sobbing but she held it in which I think broke my heart a little.

I didn't expect things to fall in my life like this, well, just because I seem to have forgotten the word "LOVE". But I think inside me, this unsettling feeling I now have for her, would you call it "LOVE" or just "PUPPY LOVE"?. I didn't know why myself but I think I was starting to like her, Alison or Taylor it doesn't matter, I think Im starting to fall in love, the scariest thing I tried to avoid ever since Lena broke up with me. I didn't think Id find love in the strangest places, well of course, meeting the person you love at a grocery store might sound normal to you guys no offense, but for someone like me who stop believing in love, I found it quite strange to look at her with the throbbing feeling, weird atmosphere, well because the ambience was all chilly air conditioned fumes which you could smell.

But I find myself strangely believing, even if its a grocery store, I found someone I like, even if its a strange encounter. I got caught by a girl with beautiful blue eyes, I mean who wouldn't? These thoughts crowded up as I sat down near the door.
