The Story of Us

A Long Night (Patricks pov)

"YES. Another amazing show tonight everyone! Including you Patrick!" I heard Taylor say as she was walking towards me from the elevator.

"Lets be real it wouldnt have been amazing if it werent for you" I said to her with a smile. She just giggled and said thank you. She was right though. It was another amazing show that she put on and I was fortunate to sing with her as a special guest. Believe it or not she told me that Im the most invited artist to come to play with her. She mainly invites me because Im her best friend but either way we always have a blast performing together wether its at her shows or at a Fall Out Boy concert. You see, Tay and I have been best friends for such a long time that we decided to have us perform at one anothers shows whenever we get the chance. Even if some of our fans dislike it, we dont really care because we get to do what we love together. It felt like a routine to perform together.

"So what'cha up to mister?" She said as she plopped down on the couch next to me.

"Oh nothing....just trying to come up with another song but its not turning out how I want it to. Matter of fact I dont even wanna say what I have so far"

"Comm'on Im sure its great!" She grabbed the paper out of my hands and began to read the lyrics. I watched as her eyes made her way down the paper. She looked up and smiled. "Patrick this is great so far! Whats it gonna be called?!"

"Im not really sure yet. These lyrics are making it hard to come up with a title. Thats kinda why I want to throw it out."

"No dont! I love it a lot! You have to continue writing this! No other song of yours will sound like this!" Taylor said with excitement

"Well gee thanks....I uhh...." I paused. I didnt really know what to say. It wasnt because I was upset that she liked the lyrics and I didnt or because I wanted to start over and she wanted me to continue. It was because I realized that she never gives up on me. If I were with the boys, they would have hated this song. Pete would have made fun of it. But not Taylor. Taylor enjoys it and doesn't let me back down. I guess thats the thing about her that I like a lot. She is always her for me through the good and the bad. I dont remember a time where she wasnt by my side. Anyone would be luck to know her let alone have her as friend. Not to mention she was absolutely beautiful. All the boys who left her are crazy to not see her beauty and fun personality. If I were with her, I would protect her at all costs and not let crazy things get in the way. Ugh what am I thinking?! Shes my best friend! I cant be with her! It will ruin our friendship!

But the thought of being with her kept coming through my head. Maybe I do really like her. Maybe I- "

"Well it has been a crazy long day! Thanks again for playing tonight." Taylor said and she began to get up from the couch.

"Uhh...Tay wait!" I said and got up from the couch as well. "Uhh...I just wanted to say...umm..." The words I wanted to say didnt come out and I just stood there embarassed and unsure of what to say. "I just wanted to say, thanks for the advice on the song. And for having me tonight" I said grinning at her. She came up to me and hugged me.

"Dont mention it!" She said with a smile and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight" she said as she started to walk towards the exit door. I didnt not expect that all especially because I would have thought that she would have felt awkward doing that. I stood there speechless and unsure of what to do. All I know is that I need to get my head straight and find out how I really feel about her.

Going to be that night was difficult. I was wide awake thinking about her and that goodnight kiss. Was Taylor the one? Is this all in my head? The only thing I knew was that it was going to be a long night.
