"Oh Crap!" was all Taylor could say when he saw the mobb of girls running towards him. There looked to be about 20 of them and that was pretty high considering everyone was gone visiting relatives at Christmas. They were all screaming his name and carrying pens and posters of him and his brother's. He quickly grabbed Ali's hand and took off running with her in the other direction. They ran past all the stores in the middle of the store as the mobb seemed to get closer and closer to them. Taylor was gripping tight onto Ali's hand knowing that if she were to fall that the mobb would probaly just about kill her since she was able to touch Taylor Hanson. It some what disgusted him that they were like that but he had been fore warned it would happen. The mobb was only 2 stores behind them when the reached a corner. Taylor turned down the isle and ran to a door he knew what it was. He flung open the door and kinda swung Ali in with himself and closed it. The room as pitch black and Taylor quickly found the lock and locked the door just as pounding began on it. He stepped into what he could see as the middle of the room and lift his hand up to pull the little string. A tiny lightbulb flickered on revealing a broom closet the was about 5 feet by 7 feet. Ali was huffing and puffing from the run and was sittting leaning against the wall. He sat down by her as he heard the rapid pounding still. "You okay?" he asked. She looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine." She answered. "Does this happen often? I mean you like already knew that this was a closet and it would be open." Taylor smiled as he looked down laughing to himself. "I guess you could say it does happen alot. Isaac, Zac, and I all got stuck in here once when we first came out. We were stuck in here for about half an hour and another time Zac was here by himself and a bunch of 11 year old girls ran after him in here. He was in her for 2 hours before the guards were able to get all the girls away from the door." Taylor began to laugh. "I guess you could say this is like another home at the mall for us." Ali laughed. The pounding was excelling in loudness so obviously more people figured out they were in there. "Well at least we got our shopping done before all this." Taylor said in a little laugh pointing to the door. "But I didn't get you anything." Ali protested. She wanted to get him something even if he said he didn't know. "I seriously don't want anything!"He exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. Ali sighed and moved around. She moved so her body was against the other wall so she was facing him. Taylor just lost himself in her eyes. Alot of people said he had pretty eyes but he'd never seen anyone's like Ali's. Her eyes seemes to change shades of blue just while talking. ********** I sat there just lost in the sea of blue in Taylor's eyes. We sat for awhile just staring at one another before I snapped out of it. I shook my head and glanced to the floor. I heard Taylor shift positions and move closer. His hand touched my chin and brought it to eye level. That was when it happened. Just as our lips were about to touch the door gave way and 7 screaming obbsessed fans stumble into the closet. Taylor and I both jumped to our feet and attempted to get out but it was no use. There were 11 other fans outside the door ready to jump at the chance. As soon as Taylor jumped over the fans that had stumbled in they all jumped. I stood in the corner of the room with only about 1 foot of room for my feet. Girls lay on the ground everywhere and Taylor had managed to squeeze out of the middle. His hair was all messed up and he had several rips in his shirt. He extended his hand for me to climb over, I did so while the others were still trying there best to get up. I nearly tripped over the mobb but didn't fall. Taylor glanced about looking for Isaac, Tara, or some security guard. He spotted Tara looking through some clothing rack across the way. He grabbed my hand and we ran to her. "Hey guys." She said turing towards us. She saw us breathing hard and saw Taylor's shirt. "What Happened?!?!?" She almost yelled. Just then Isaac came forward from another rack. "Mobb....Fans....Killers.....Leave......Now!" Was all Taylor could spit out. Isaac grabbed all of Tara's bag's and we quickly scurried outta the store. We all climbed into Ike's Jeep and left the mall. Taylor and I sat in the back seat while Tara and Isaac were in the front. I leaned my head against the back of the seat and closed my eyes. My breathing had clamed down a tad and wasn't out in raspy spurts. Taylor had his face in his hads and his elbows on his knees. "So what happened?" Isaac asked looking through the mirror. Taylor sat up right . "Well we were walking and this mobb of girls chased us through the mall and well we ended up in that closet we've hid in before." Isaac knodded his head knowing which closet Taylor had ment. "We were just sitting talking and the door gave way and all these fans jumped all over us." I opened my eyes and sat right. "That's when I spotted Tara and ran." I thought for a moment. Well at least he didn't say anything about the almost kiss but I knew he would talk to Isaac about that later in private. We all sat in silence after that the whole way home. We arrived home and Tara and I grabbed our bags. We said bye to the guys and told them see ya tomorrow. I knew Tara would want all the details about my shopping experience with Taylor as well as how she knew I would want the whole scoop on her and Isaac. We walked into our room and she sat at the computer desk and I laid sprawled out on my bed. Surprisingly neither of us said a word right off the bat but waited a couple minutes. Than Tara finally spoke up. "Ali, Have you told Taylor about Richard?" I shot straight up and stared at her. "Why should I? And you know never to say that name! What if someone hear's you? Then I'm all screwed." I whispered fiercly back to her. "I'm sorry but I think he has a right to know." She shot back at me. I thought for a moment. We never hav ever fought about anything and she was the only one that knew about Richard. "Let's just drop it okay? That is between me and Richard back home and Taylor doesn't need to know about him." Tara nodded her head slowly and got up. She walked outta the door and I heard the bathroom door ease shut. I laid back down and closed my eyes. Why did she have to even say his name? She's the only one that knows and she'll never tell. God, Cordelia doesn't even know, why should Taylor?
