Joe opened his eyes, still holding Taylor in his arms. He checked his phone, seeing it was six AM. He laid there for a moment, waiting for Taylor to wake up. Taylor woke up ten minutes later, scrambling out of Joe's arms. "Sorry, I didn't-" Then Taylor remembered all the events from the previous night, a smile spreading over her face.

Joe grinned with her, reaching out his arms for her. Taylor stood up slightly, sitting down next to Joe and burying her head in her chest. Taylor looked up at him shyly, and he looked down at her, both of them thinking the same thing.

Taylor leaned up, pressing her lips against his. Joe wrapped his arms around her, bringing her closer. Taylor smiled against his lips, still having a hard time believing it was real. Eventually they broke apart, smiling at each other.

Taylor pulled out her phone, "Holy shit I have seventy-five messages from Selena and Abigail."

Joe chuckled, "Just Facetime them."

Taylor did so, and they both picked up almost instantly.

"Oh my god Taylor!"

"Taylor what the hell!"

"Are you guys dating now?!"

Selena and Abigail's voice instantly flooded Taylor's phone. Taylor smiled, "Yup."

Another round of screams came from the other side of the phone, and Taylor laughed. Joe popped his head in the frame, smiling. "I told you so!" Selena said to Joe.

"What did you tell him?" Taylor asked, turning to Joe.

Abigail smiled innocently, "We may or may not have told him you liked him."

Taylor's jaw dropped, "You did what?!"

Selena giggled, "It's fine, it obviously worked out for you guys."

Taylor turned to Joe, "So you knew I liked you?"

"Yup," Joe said, smiling.

Taylor rolled her eyes at Abigail and Selena, "I can't believe you guys."

Joe kissed the top of her head, "Shouldn't you be thanking them?"

"Awww," Abigail and Selena both cooed at Joe's gesture to Taylor.

Taylor's cheeks lit on fire, and she turned to face away from the camera, burying her head in Joe's chest.

Selena laughed, "Okay, I'll leave you guys to yourselves, see you later!"

"I'll see you guys later as well," Abigail said, and they all hung up.

Taylor kept her head in Joe's chest, "I can't believe you knew."

Joe chuckled, "I'm glad I knew. Let's be honest, without it we both would've been too wimpy to say anything to each other."

Taylor couldn't help but laugh, "True."

Taylor moved to sit down on Joe's lap, leaning her head back on his shoulder. "College acceptance letters should start coming in soon," Taylor said, nerves evident in her voice.

"Nervous?" Joe asked.

"A little," Taylor admitted. "What about you?"

"I did early action for Bristol, and got in, remember?" Joe said. "What colleges did you apply to again?"

"Um, Cornell, Bristol, Oxford, Columbia, and Northwestern as a safety school if I don't make it into the other ones," Taylor said, wringing her hands together.

Joe kissed her cheek, "I'm sure you'll get in. Do you have a top choice?"

"Umm," Taylor paused. They were both thinking the same thing. If they went to different colleges would they do long distance? "I'm not sure."
