Chapter 17: So This Is Love

Chapter 17: "So This Is Love"

Veronica, Zayn and Eleanor were in awe of this mysterious beauty. "But who is she Mother?" Veronica questioned her mother.

"Do we know him?" Zayn told them.

“Well Patrick certainly seems to." Veronica said. "But I know I've never seen her."

Eleanor cocked an eyebrow suspiciously. "Nor I. But he certainly is..." she replied. "Wait. There is something familiar about him."

Eleanor tried to follow the couple but Louis stopped her.

"Oh." ohhed Eleanor.

Taylor didn't care if her stepfamily was at the ball. She didn't care about anything in the world except for the fact that she was dancing with the most handsome man she had ever seen. Taylor was singing.

"Mmmmmm. So this is love. Mmmmmm.
So this is love. So this is what makes life divine. I'm all aglow...
And now I know...

He had the most beautiful face and the sweetest, green eyes. Patrick was so captivated by Taylor’s lovely smile and bright eyes. The two were soon dancing all across the ballroom, slowly falling in love. Patrick started singing.

And now I know...

They eventually walked outside and hummed to themselves, lost in each other. They both singed together.

The key to all heaven is mine.

They kept walking until they reach the fountain. Taylor was singing.

My heart has wings.
Mmmmmm.

They got to the fountain and Taylor touched the water on the fountain. She continued singing.

And I can fly...

Taylor and Patrick continued to dance all over the garden. They reach a small bridge. They still sing.

I'll touch every star in the sky. So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of...

Taylor was looking at Patrick and hummed.

Mmmmmm.

Patrick looked back at him and hemmed also.

Mmmmmm.

They're singing come to an end.

So this is love."

They were about to kiss when suddenly the clock struck twelve and chimed once...twice... Taylor gasped and stood. "Oh my goodness!" she realized.

"What's the matter?" Patrick questioned her.

"It's midnight." Taylor told him.

"Yes, so it is." Patrick replied. "But, why..."

"Goodbye." Taylor told Patrick.

"Wait! You can't go now." he told her.

"But I must." she said to him.

"But why?" Patrick questioned Taylor.

"Well, I haven't met the Prince." Taylor answered Patrick.

"The Prince? But, didn't you know that..." Patrick said.

The clock was bonging.

"Goodbye." she said to him.

"No wait. Come back. Oh please come back!" exclaimed Patrick.

The bonging of the clock continued.

"I don't even know your name! How will I find you? Wait please wait." he called to her.

Taylor ran and turned to Louis and waved to him. "Goodbye!" she exclaimed.

The clock still is bonging.

"I say! Young Lady!" responded Louis.

He had a worried look on his face, while Patrick opened the curtains. He was going to go after her.

"Wait!" Patrick shouted.

"Who is she?" the ladies questioned him.

The clock continued bonging.

Taylor runs and she lost one of his slippers falls off but she continued running on and leapt into her waiting coach.

"Mademoiselle! Seniorita!" Louis called her.

He picked up the slipper from the stairs.

"Just a moment!" he exclaimed to them.

The clock bonged.

"Guards! Guards!" he shouted to the palace guards.

The clock kept bonging.

"Stop the coach." continued Louis. "Close the gates!"

It was too late, Taylor had escaped.

"Follow that coach! Open those gates!" Louis shouted to them.

The clock kept bonging. It was the last stroke and then the coach, the horses, and all vanished and in their place are a pumpkin, the mice, the dog, the horse and Taylor in her ragged dress

"I'm sorry. I guess I forgot about everything." Taylor continued telling them all. "Even the time, but it was so wonderful. And he was so handsome and when we danced."

Taylor was dreaming of the night she shared with Prince Patrick. Kendall and Niall were in the same situation.

"Oh I'm sure even Prince Patrick himself couldn't have been more, more..." Taylor was going to say.

Kendall was in an awkward position as Niall was still leaning on him. Taylor sighed.

"Oh well, it's over and..." she said as she stands up.

"Taylor, look! The slipper." Kendall told her.

He pointed at the slipper she still has on her foot.

"Yeah, the slipper." Niall replied.

"Your slipper Taylor!" they answered together.

"Oh." Taylor ohhed.

She was looking up to her fairy godmother.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for everything." She thanked Taylor the Rapper smiling.

It's a bit long, but I'll add the next one.
