Faking Smiles

Christmases When You Were Mine

Taylor POV:
I sat on my bed with Meredith at my feet. I was strumming random chords on my guitar.

I miss Ed. I miss the friendship we had earlier this year. A lot. He was the only person I could actually talk to. Especially last December.

We never dated, but he's always been there for me. He's such a good friend. Er- was. It's not like we got into a fight or anything, we just got busy. Then the communication slowly stopped, besides for simple texting conversations that meant nothing.

Since its December, I start playing chords to the song, Christmases When You Were Mine.

"There were Christmases when you were mine," I sang, looking at Meredith.

"Meow."

I sighed, then laughed. My cat is one of my only real friends.

My thoughts were interrupted when the doorbell went off.

I went downstairs to see who it was, and when I opened, I saw Jake.

"Hey babe," he said, kissing the side of my face, then coming inside.

"Hey," I replied, sitting down on the stool at the kitchen counter.

"So," he said as he sat down on the other stool. "What do you have planned for your birthday?" He put his hands on my knees. I didn't understand how he could be like this when he was talking about this. Like last year never happened.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe just have a get together, you, Selena, Abi, Lorde, my family, Karlie, and Ed? Maybe Harry too. I don't know," I shrug.

I only mentioned Harry to make his face tense up, and it did.

He put on his best fake smile, which was horrible. "I think that'd be fun."

Ed POV:
I got a text from Taylor, asking if I could come to her place for her birthday next weekend.

"Sure, I'm free next weekend," I text back.
I throw my phone into my pocket and sit down on the park bench. My family will hate me if they find out I'm going to Taylor's.

A/N: that wasn't very suspenseful at the end, but whatever. I also know that's a really short chapter, but most of them will be so much longer than this. Sorry!! I'll update sometime in the next few days. I'm just too tired to think of a cliffhanger, so yea....
