Taylor waited by the door and saw Ali running toward him. He opened the door and let her in. "Sorry I'm late." She said while handing Taylor the movie. He took her hand in his and proceeded to lead her to the garage. The adults were talking and the litttle ones were watching T.V. with Zac. Taylor opened the door and popped the tape in the V.C.R. He plopped down on the couch next to Ali. The previews started with the Little Mermaid returning to theaters. Taylor laughed and leaned in towards her ear. ********** "Just great! Now I'll have to take all my little brothers and sisters to see it. Including Zac!" I laughed at his comment. Taylor stretched his arms above his head and moved his one arm around my shoulder. (like you always see in the movies and T.V. shows. HeHe) Obviously he tried not to make it so obvious but it was very. It didn't bother me any though. I just leaned into his side. He got more comfortable as the preview for some movie called Deep Hit or Deep Impact or something along those lines. For the first time since we started the movie I looked up at Taylor. Our thoughts must have been the same since when I turned he turned. We both leaned forward until our lips met. Hie touch was warm and comforting. Just then the garage door flew open and Zac walked in on us. He stopped in the middle of the room and just stared for a millisecond then retreated back out. It must have looked very strange to him, but on his way out he started to laugh. Taylor unwrapped his arm around me and sprinted after Zac. I quickly got up and stopped the movie and ran after them both. When I got outside the garage and into the living room I saw Taylor going up the stairs after the running Zac. I walked up the stairs just so it seemed like nothing outta the ordinary. Once I got to their bed room door I let myself in and saw Zac cracking up with a not so happy Taylor. "You guys seemed to be such good friends I never would have thought on catching you guys kissing!!!" He blurted out. Taylor's face immediatly turned red. He sat down next to Zac, who was claming down now. "Boy, wouldn't mom love to know that you were on the couch kissing Ali." Zac said with a devilish smile. "You will not tell any one about this! If you do I'll just have to tell Mom about how her prescious glass vase broke last week." Zac stopped laughing at once and turned serious. "Alright, you don't tell mom about my little mess up and I won't tell her yours." He held out his hand and they shook. I sighed, glad that he wouldn't tell. I looked at my watch. 8:19 p.m. Man! tomorrow is Christmas Eve then Christmas Day and then I leave. It seemed like such a short time. Suddenly I remembered my Uncle was to call tonight. He wasn't going to call until about 9:30 he said so I had a little time to kill. I figured this would be a good time to tell Taylor my little job for the past two years. "Taylor?" I asked. He turned toward me still sitting on the bed. "Can we take a walk?" He was quick to accept and we left Zac alone in the room. We walked downstairs and left the house. I took Taylor's hand and wrapped my fingers around them. The air outside was cold but I was quite warm in my sweatshirt. We walked down the road some more until we came to the park. We sat at a bench just on outside fence. I let go of his hand and looked to the ground. "Is something wrong? Did I do something?" he questioned me. I looked up at him in serious eyes. "Taylor, I really like you but I don't want to hurt you." He looked at my confused as if he didn't believe what I was saying. He sat for a moment quiet before he shot up. He stood up before me with his hands in the air. "I can't belive I fell for this!!!" He yelled backing away for me. I looked at him this time confused. I stood up with tears welling in my eyes. He's never yelled at me but then again I've only known him for the past 3 days. "What are you talking about?!?!" I asked him this time. A few tears trickled down my cold skin. He stopped backing away but left his hands in the air. "YOU'RE USING ME!!! You probaly have been seeing a guy and you're just using me to entertain you while your away!!!! Well I'm not going to anymore!!!" All my tears stopped and I stood there in shock. How could he accuse me of something like that. He spun around and darted of toward his house without another word. I clasped to my knees and let all my tears drain from my eyes. How could he say that? I haven't had a boyfriend in two years and probaly never will now. I slowly got up off my knees and walked down the sidewalk. As I walked Isaac's jeep stopped next to me with Tara in the passengers seat. She looked at my eyes and knew I had been crying. She jumped out of the car and hugged me. "What's wrong?" She asked. Isaac climbed outta the car so he could hear me. "Taylor and I went for a walk and I was going to tell him something but then he thought I was going to tell him I was using him. He ran away from me." I told her. I didn't cry at all. "I swear, I'll kill him!" I immediatly grabbed Isaac's hands. "No. Just talk to him. Don't hurt him." He gave me a quick hug and helpped me into the jeep. ********** Isaac stormed into the house and threw his keys onto the small oak table by the door. He quickly pulled off his coat and walked into the kitchen to be greeted by Kirsten, David, his mother, and father. "Mom, where's Tay?" Ike asked his mother. "I believe he's in your room." Isaac nodded his head and jogged outta the room and up the stairs. He came to the door and opened in casually. Taylor lay on his bed on his stomach staring at the wall. Zac was gone so it was just him and Taylor. Isaac walked over and sat on the edge of his bed. "Hey, what's wrong?" Ike said sympatheticly. Taylor rolled over to face him. By the look in his eyes he looked like a mix of hurt and anger. "Ali has been using me this whole time she's been here." Taylor answered. "Tay." Isaac said looking to the floor. "After you left her Tara and I saw her walking home and we picked her up." He looked at Taylor with serious eyes. "She wasn't lying, Tay. Even Tara told me she hasn't had a boyfriend in like forever. Probaly because she's afraid to get close to someone after her mom was killed." Taylor sat speechless. How selfish could he be?! All he thought about was himself and didn't care wether it had anything to do about her mother and getting what she thought was to close. He slowly sat up right hanging his legs over the side. All he could feel was pure guilt. He had finally found a girl he liked and what did he do? Yell at her and tell her to fuck off. There was no way he was gonna just play it all off. He was gonna say he was sorry and if she never accepted it than he probaly diserved it. He climbed off the bed and left the room without another word to Ike. Before he left he ran into the basement and grabbed the movie they had been watching. He stared at the couch for a moment. Less than an hour ago he was kissing her and then probaly about ten minutes later he was yelling. He cleared his head and ran to Ali's house. Chapter 11 Back Home
