After the previews no one was really paying any attention to the actual movie. Everyone was involved with their boyfriend or girlfriend. I had moved from my previous position to laying next Tay. He had me pulled up against his chest with his arms around my waist. I had my arms around his waist as well. "Ali, will we always be like this?" Taylor whispered in my ear. I moved to face him and caught myself staring in his eyes of blue. He looked so wonderful then and so important to me he was. I gave him a kiss on the lips. "I hope we will." I answered back. I peeked over Tay to look at the others with us. Corde and Jason were talking puppy love talk and Ike and Tara were holding each other trying to concentrate on the movie but it wasn't working. I curled up against Tay's chest again. Watching the movie made me think of Taylor and I. Only difference is we were no fools. I felt Tay pull my chin to face him. Once I looked up our lips met each other. I wrapped my arms around him as I let him slide his tongue into my mouth. I could feel his arms tense up around me as he pulled me as close as you can possibly get to him. We kissed passionatly for some time until he pulled away. I felt like crawling up like a lost child in his arms. I laid my head against his chest and closed my eyes with a sigh. I felt so drained an so disorienented. I felt the darkness sink in around me as I could no longer stay awake. ~* 4 hours later: 3:47 a.m. *~ I silently crept down the stairs as trying not to wake anyone in the house, which might I add had lost it's heat again. I couldn't sleep at all now which was unusually strange since I had fallen asleep so quickly. I grabbed a blanket off the small love seat and took a seat on the soft cream velvet seat of the bay window over looking the road. The snow falling down made it a beautiful scene. The snow was piling up rather high but just watching it fall made me relax a little. I used the soft glow of the moon as my light. My thoughts turned to Taylor as I sat in a daze watching the sky. I knew what he felt for me but yet I felt it was not true. It has been years since someone loved and cared for me. Ever since my mother died it's been that way. I pulled my legs to my chest and sat my head on my knee caps. I felt like this was all one dream soon to be turning into a nightmare. This was a dream with mixed feelings of wether to wake up or not. I pulled the huge blanket around me as I felt a chill run through my body. We'd lost all power and the heater kept the living room pretty warm, but as far as the downstairs, it was pretty cold. I watched silently praying that the day would go fine. I knew that after this evening Taylor would be extremely confused, but this was something I had to do. I was startled after a hand touch my shoulder. I turned around and saw Taylor standing before me. "Why are you down here?" He asked taking a seat next to me. I moved closer to him and spread the navy blue blanket over both of us. I leaned my body against his chest and sighed. I didn't want to think anymore tonight. "I couldn't sleep." I said seeming that was the only logical excuse. I stared at the moon wondering if my mom was watching me at this very moment. I wondered if she had caused Taylor to come to me. "Tay, have you evered wondered why God would put someone on earth and take them away leaving others to suffer?" I asked. My faith in God wasn't the best but I did believe he did things for a reason. "I think he puts them on earth so they can share love with others." He answered. The answer seemed right. My mom was put here to love me. I liked it that way. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Ali, wake up?" Taylor said nudging me. I groaned softly as I was so tired. I felt the cold air hit my face as I opened my blurry eyes. I was leaning against Tay's chest when I had fallen back asleep. I sat upright and saw the sun start to peek over the hills. I turned to Taylor as he swung his legs over the bay seat. I could hear a little bit of comotion up stairs from everyone else starting to wake. As I looked up down at the ground to see how much snow had fallen I felt my stomach drop. The snow was up to the window for crying out loud! I slid off the bay seat and grabbed the blanket. It was freezing still downstairs. Tay and I wrapped up in the blanket and walked upstairs. Everyone else was starting to wake up so we quickly jumped back in our beds. It was warm and cozy under neath the covers. Tay wrapped his arm around my waist as I laid my head across his chest. I sighed heavily as I saw Tara sit up next to Ike. "Morning." She said to me as I sat up too. I faked stretched and yawned like I was really more tired than I really was. Ike on the other hand didn't look like he aws gonna move at all. I stood up and looked down at Taylor. He was fast asleep like a normal guy. I laughed a little to myself as I walked into the kitchen. "It's freezing in here!" I whispered loudly. I went to the fridge and pulled out some of the T.V. dinners Tay and I had bought the previous day. "Who's up for French Toast Sticks?"
