Love Story: A Taylor Squared Fan Fiction

CHAPTER SIX: Back to December

___TAYLORS POV___
"Hello?"
"Selena, you need to come over ASAP! I NEED HELP!"
"Ok, ok. Taylor you need to calm down." Selena says sternly.
"Isn't Ed at the house?" She asks confused.
"Yes, but I told him to go get us ice cream and he hasn't left yet, so he should be home in 15 once he leaves. And I knew you were in Nashville filming so hopefully you can stop by?" I hoped she could come over.
"Uhhh sure. Sure, I will take my break. I should be there in 5 minutes."
"You're a life saver!" I saw hanging up the phone. I unlock the bathroom door and walk out. Act casual, Taylor. I hear Ed coming down stairs and get back to the kitchen to finish the dish I was working on.
"So I'm gonna go get ice cream." He says with a smile.
"Yeah, okay! See you soon." I feel awkward right now. Knowing that Taylor possibly wants me back makes me feel like talking to Ed is cheating. Ed walks over and tries to kiss me on the lips. But my heart tells me no, don't let him kiss you. I don't know why, but I turn my head away and he kisses my cheek instead. He pulls away with a disappointed look.
"See ya." He says sadly walking slowly out the door. For some reason, Ed doesn't seem so special anymore. I suddenly feel like I should just be friends with him. His kiss didn't give me that spark it did that night in Miami. Maybe I wanted to love him because Taylor made me upset. Now that I think about it, I over reacted towards Taylor. I just wanted to make sure that in the relationship I wasn't tied up. I hear a knock on the door and open it as quickly as I can. Selena stands there smiling.
"Thank god you're here." I say pulling her inside to the living room. I explain what happened in Miami - the fight and what happened with Ed since then.
"What do I do, sel? Do I meet up with Taylor?" I say confused.
"It seems to me like Ed was a rebound, as bad as it sounds. He was there for you and you wanted to feel the spark you had with Taylor, which isn't there. I think deep down, you wish Taylor was still your boyfriend, don't you?" The bad part is, Selena was right. But what about Ed?
" I just feel so bad for Ed..." I say.
"Of course you do! He is your best friend. Any girl would feel bad. You love him, but you aren't in love with him. You're in love with Taylor."
I'm shocked. Selena has finally cleared up what I've been trying to figure out myself....what I have deep down known all along.
"Thank you so much! I know what I need to do now." I pull Selena into a hug. She really was my best friend. The closest thing I've ever had to a sister.
"Hey, you were here for me with Justin, I'm always here for you!" She turns and says before she walks out the door.
"Same here. I'll see you soon!" I say waving to her as she enters her car. She waves and pulls away. I have 5 minutes til Ed arrives. I pull out my phone and dial Taylor's number as I enter the bathroom again and lock the door.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"Taylor! Taylor I'm so happy you called." He says. I can almost sense his smile.
"I am too, actually. Listen, I'm sorry I over reacted."
"What? No! Don't apologize. I'm sorry for not letting you be friends with Ed. I was dumb to think you guys would ever be more than that." No you aren't dumb to think that, I think in my head.
"I just love you." I say anxiously.
"I love you too, baby. Can we still meet up tomorrow?"
"Yes, let's go out!" I wanted to go out because even though I was going to ask him to leave, Ed might be here tomorrow still.
"Okay, I'll text you. I miss you, beautiful."
"Miss you too, I'll talk to you then." My heart is pounding with happiness. This is what love feels like. What I had with Ed was just a hole that was missing, but I have it back now. That missing hole was Taylor. I get up and unlock the bathroom door after hanging up. I open the door and see...ED? Oh my god, Ed was listening to part of the conversation. I feel awful because I wanted to do this the right way, while we ate our dessert. But no, he's already hurt. He's crying.

___EDS POV___
"I don't understand, how could you do this to me?" I can't believe this. Taylor is getting back with Lautner. The jerk. The jerk that disrespected me and Taylor herself. I should have known that Taylor liking me as more than a friend was too good to be true.
"I can't express how sorry I am, Ed. I do love you. Very much. But I'm not in love with you... I love you as a friend. I'm not IN love with you like I am with Taylor." I could see the hurt in her eyes and as much as I didn't want to, I understood.
"Okay." I say with a sad, disappointed, yet understanding feeling.
"Okay?" Taylor seemed surprised.
"Okay."I say nodding my head to reassure her.
"Okay." she smiles and hugs me. It will be hard to see her back with him again, but I love her too and can only wish for her happiness.

___TAYLORS POV___

I feel so bad. I can tell I've broken Ed's heart. It's always hard to see a good friend heart broken, no matter what the circumstances. I couldn't handle the fact that Ed was hurt this way because of me, but it had to be done. You can't carry on something that isn't going to work for you. The sooner you end it, the less hurt the person will be. I'm trying hard to remember that right now.
"I should probably get a hotel room or something for the rest of the week." Ed says nodding his head. I know I wants him to leave but this just feels wrong.
"Ed you don't have to leave, how about you stay in the guest house?" I had a guest house out back that was perfect for Ed to stay in. I couldn't let him stay in a hotel on our mini vacation time from the tour.
"Are you sure, I don't want to interrupt you and bother Taylor..." He says seeming concerned. The fact was, I wasn't sure. But this would definitely put Taylor to the test, to see if he has changed.
"Absolutely." I say with a smile. He hugs me and heads to the guest room to get his things to move to the guest house.
"Good night, Tay." He says as he heads for the guest house.
"Night."

I head to my room and put on my pajamas. I was missing Taylor. I knew he was in Nashville tonight but had no where to stay. He was going to stay at a hotel to go to his audition tomorrow, but I wanted him here with me. I dial his number.

"Hey, babe" he answers.
"Hey. I want you here with me. Stay here tonight, please." I say with a laugh.
"Sounds great, thank you. I just landed I will be there soon.

-------1 hour later------

The doorbell rings and I run downstairs to open the door. I open it fast and say
"TAYLOR! God I missed you." I pull him into my arms and kiss him hard. He drops his bags and puts his arm around my waist so he doesn't have to stop kissing me. He moves down to my neck and kisses me more then whispers into my ear.
"I missed you too. Lets go upstairs." He lifts me and I laugh with joy as he brings me upstairs, leaving his bags in the door way. It felt so good to be back in his arms.
