Happier

Sorry for any typos<3

Summary: this is the point of view of Joe after his breakup with Taylor and how he slowly, from the side, watches her fall in love again, and become happier.

I'm aware that we don't have any full confirmation on why they broke up, so it's gonna be very vague.

********

Well, that was it. Six years of love and happiness down the drain, something that everyone never would've imagined.

We've had fights, sure. The occasional "maybe we just need to take some time away from each other." But the thing was, whenever that happened, we always found our way back to each other. But I guess eventually, you don't.

I loved her, of course I loved her. You don't date someone for six years without there being love. But, sadly, love just isn't enough in a relationship sometimes.

We parted ways about a week ago and the news just went public today, which just made the pain resurface all over again. I figured we'd have a little bit of time to keep it private and quiet before everyone else was talking about. But when the relationship was with one of the biggest pop-stars in the world, that's just not possible.

And then the second I thought I might be healing a little bit, I got hit like never before.

Sparks fly between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy after they were pictured going on a date and holding hands. Could a new relationship be in the air for the recently single popstar?

I've met Matty a few times, and I couldn't help but always feel jealous of him. I knew that he had been friends with Taylor for years and it seemed obvious, at least to me, that he had a thing for her.

I even voiced my jealousy to Taylor one time after we ran into Matty at an award show and Matty kept getting too close for comfort.

"We're just friends, babe." She had told me, "We have been for years. We're just comfortable with each other. Don't worry, I only have eyes for you."

I know I probably shouldn't be so upset about it, we aren't dating anymore. But knowing that she moved on with someone that she knows I had mixed feelings about, and so quickly, stings a little.

Which is why I didn't know how to feel later that month when I came across another article.

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy call it quits after only a month of dating.

I couldn't help but feel... happy? Relieved? And I felt shitty for feeling like that, but I couldn't help it.

I didn't hear much of anything online about Taylor after that, not that I was keeping up with it or anything, but it's kinda hard to avoid it when she's on the biggest tour in history and everyone's talking about it.

Which is why, I was visibly surprised a few months later in late July, when I was scrolling through TikTok, which I rarely do, and came across a video of two guys on a podcast.

I knew I should've scrolled the second I heard the first sentence, but for some reason, I just didn't.

"Speaking of Taylor Swift, I know you went to the Taylor Swift concert. How was it?" One of the men asked.

"Yeah, well. I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. So I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her." The other man replied.
