Chapter 28


I stood feeling paralyzed as Bruce stepped away from me. I opened my eyes and saw the grin appear on his face. I wanted to yell at him for what he had done. Scream but I couldn't. I looked down ashamed. Taylor was waiting to hold me.

"Please say something to me, Ali." Bruce said. I was silent for a moment.

"Why?" I asked above a whisper.

"Ever since I laid eyes on you I wanted to hold you. Ali, I'm....." I stopped him before he could speak.

"Your an adult! I'm a teenager! And may I add with a boyfriend!" The mention of Tay made him angury I could tell.

"Forget about Tay! Think about Us!"

"There is no us!!! What makes you think that there ever was an us! You were my friend, Bruce not a boyfriend ever even though you wanted to be." I turned my heel and opened the door. I walked out and saw the snow falling down extremely hard. I stepped on his porch and I could sense his presence behind me.

"That Kiss ment something to you. Why don't you give me a chance?" I turned and faced him face to face.

"First of all you are an Adult and I am an Adolesent. You could go to jail. Second of all I'm in love with Taylor wether you like it or not!" As I turned to walk away Bruce grabbed my wrist forcefully. When he tried to pull me in his arms I twisted his arm behind his back in defense. "If you don't leave me the hell alone I'll break your arm!" He let out a sigh of pain and I let go. I sprinted across the lawns as I could feel his gaze follow me. As I stepped on the porch Taylor opened the door for me. 'Great, here comes the guilt'

"I was beginning to worry." Tay said pulling me in the house and in his arms. I smiled a fake smile and sighed. I felt so terrible. He looked at me suspicously. "What's wrong?" He asked eyeing me.

"Nothing." I said casually. I gave him a small peck and turned to look upstairs where all the noise was coming from.

"Tara and Ike are here." He said pointing upstairs.

"Well, let's go join the party." I said cheery. We walked up stairs holding hands. Ike and Tara were drinking some pops at the kitchen table with Corde and Jason. There was only one chair left open so Tay sat down and I sat in his lap.

"Let's start the movies." Corde said standing up and stretching.

"Sure." I agreed. All us girls grabbed our bags and went in my room upstairs to change into our PJ's. All the guys went into the guest room. I walked over to my dresser and grabbed my long sleeve red shirt with some blue silk boxers. I slipped them on as Corde put on some heart boxers with a white long sleeve shirt and Tara put on some green boxers with a purple sweatershirt. "So, Tara were you surprised to see Ike?" I asked her while she stood infront of the mirror pulling her blonde hair back. Corde had almost fainted I had heard when she saw Ike.

"Was I ever! He just walked into the cafe and just happened to sit at one of my tables. I was in so much shock I forgot about my other tables." Tara said smiling. It was her last day at the cafe today since she would be moving soon. "So what movies did you get, Corde?" Tara asked facing us. We were seated on my bed scanning some Teen magazines.

"I don't really know. Jason just kept grabbing movies saying 'Oh this will be good' and throwing them in the basket." The two of them were so cute together. They always acted so lovey dovey in public but it didn't matter. Corde threw the mags on my desk and stood up. "Well, let's not keep the boys waiting." We all laughed and retreated downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So Tay, how long have you and Ali been going together?" Jason asked. The guys were changing in the guest room next to Ali's. Taylor was finished but waiting for the others. Jason was playing the part of the worried older brother just fine even though he was just a friend.

"We've been together for about 2 and a half months but I feel like I've known her my whole life." Tay said looking down at his boxers. He wore his black and green striped boxers with a Green sweatshirt. Ike wore some Pajama pants with a blue long sleeve shirt and Jason wore some blue boxers with a white t-shirt.

"Do you love her?" Jason asked taking a seat next to Taylor on the bed.

"I love her with all my heart." It was silent a little after he said it. "What about you? You love Corde?" Taylor had come to like Corde as a great friend. She seamed very nice and caring. Jason thought for a moment.

"I love her too." Once again it was silent. "Ya know I've said that line to some other girls but I never really ment it. I mean it now. I love her." Taylor looked up and saw a guy who he saw cared about a girl as much as he did. Jason looked at Ike. "You love Tara?"

"I love her more than anything." Ike said. Tara and Ike had grown so close since Christmas. They spent every moment of every day together. Tara had even crept into the guys's room at night and slept in Ike's arms all night. The guys heard comotion in the hall and decided to go with the girls.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Taylor just kinda stared at me as he walked down the stairs. I thought maybe I had ketchup on my shirt but I didn't. Everyone had already picked beds. Taylor and I grabbed the red one. The beds all consisted of a blow up matress, four sheets, 2 heavy blankets, and 4 pillows. The beds were kinda seperated but not too much. Taylor walked down and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered so only I could hear. My heart skipped a beat. I was head over heels in love. I gave him a small kiss on the lips. I didn't want to start off hot and heavy in the very beginning now. All the couples began to get situated in bed so we followed. Taylor climbed under the covers as I did after him. Tay drapped his arm around my shoulders as I laid my arm across his chest positioning my head on his chest. I could feel his breaths going in and out slowly. Corde popped the movie in. Taylor took his other hand and ran his fingers through my hair gently and softly. I felt twingly inside for some odd reason. It kinda reminded me of our first kiss on the sofa of the garage.

"First up we have.....Fools Rush In." Taylor and I both looked at each other and smiled.
