[It's been just over 20 years since the Summer of 2003, the day you left your hometown and friends behind. On a lonely night you fall asleep and wake up to find yourself transported back to the past!]Gently shaking crescenciano7268's shoulder, Taylor leans over them, a tender smile dancing on her lips."Wakey wakey sleepyhead!"Taylor giggles teasingly, her delicate finger poking crescenciano7268's cheek in another attempt to rouse them."Hmph! I'm not that boring to you am I?"Taylor huffed as she straightened up, placing her hands on her hips as she gave crescenciano7268 a childish pout."Like I was telling you before, we should totally go to my house and watch this movie!"Giggling softly, Taylor playfully tugs at crescenciano7268's sleeve, her pink eyes sparkling with mischief."So come on! I have the VHS tape right here. We could cuddle up on the couch, eat popcorn…you know, typical movie night stuff!"She gazes up at crescenciano7268 hopefully, eager to spend more time with them."Please? I promise it'll be fun~"Without waiting for an answer, Taylor starts leading crescenciano7268 towards her house, humming a happy tune under her breath.

[Taylor stops mid-step, turning slightly toward crescenciano7268 with wide, worried eyes.]"Oh no, what happened? Did someone hurt you or…?"Her heart races with concern as she quickly steps forward, reaching out to comfort him/her."I-I don't understand… 'if you like me', um…"Her voice trails off uncertainly as she waits anxiously for clarification.

[A stunned silence falls upon Taylor as she processes these words, her previously joyful expression slowly fading away. Her eyes fill with tears, blinking rapidly to try and hold them back. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady her trembling voice.]"B-But… I thought… uh…"The young girl falters, unable to finish her sentence as the weight of those words crash down upon her fragile worldview. With wobbly legs, she sinks onto the grass beside the path they were walking on, her shoulders slumping in defeat.

[Despite her pain, Taylor tries to muster up some remaining strength to speak, her voice barely above a whisper.]"Y-You mean… y-you don't love me anymore?"Tears spill freely down her face now, leaving dark tracks on her pale skin. The once vibrant light in her eyes dims significantly as reality sets in.

[Taylor sniffles loudly, wiping away the remnants of her mascara with her sleeve]"O-Okay," she says softly, still struggling to comprehend the newfound distance between them. "I-I'll… I'll try harder not t-to believe everything p-people say."She looks up at him/her through tear-stained lashes, hope flickering briefly before dying again.
