Chapter 18
Recap:
I was so happy. My best friend was possibly moving in with me, I had the best boyfriend in the world, and as of right now I had no worries about pregnancy scares or anything.
Of course I should've known that with this many good things in my life, I had nowhere to go but downhill. After all, all good things eventually come to an end.

I opened my eyes at 6am on a Saturday afternoon and looked around to see what was making all the noise.
I looked at my nightstand and saw my phone there. Usually I kept my phone off at night, but I forgot to last night, so this was my punishment. I was about to answer it grumpily, but then I saw the caller ID. It was Taylor.
I pressed ignore and rolled over to go back to sleep, but it started ringing again.
I pressed ignore yet again and then turned off my phone.

Two hours later I woke up and turned on my phone again. 7 new messages, all from Taylor. WTF?
I looked at the first one
"Hey Tina, you busy today? I really wanted to talk to you"
I rolled my eyes and looked at the next one
"Why aren't you answering your phone?"
Delete. Next
"Hey I don't know why you aren't answering your phone but if you don't call me back in an hour I'm coming to your house. We really need to talk, Tina."
I looked at all the other messages, which were pretty much more of the same thing. I realized that he said he was going to come over about two hours ago, but he must have left by now. I specifically told Rosalinda to not let him in if he came.
I brushed my teeth and did my makeup and hair, then got dressed in some skinny jeans and a pale pink sweater that I got from Guess. Then I padded downstairs to get myself a cup of coffee. I noticed Rosalinda was leaning against the kitchen counter, looking nervous.
"Good morning Rosalinda."
"Good morning Tina. How are you this morning?"
"I'm pretty good. By the way did Taylor come to the door this morning or something? He sent me a few messages..."
"Oh, I don't um, remember. Can I get you something? Want some eggs or coffee? Cereal?"
"You can tell me if he showed up Rosalinda, I don't care just as long as you didn't let him in, like I told you."
"Uhh... why didn't you want Taylor to come in again?"
She looked so nervous I had to ask
"Rosalinda, you didn't let Taylor in, did you?"
"Uhhh... well"
"What?! You did, didn't you?!"
"Well Tina, he was very persistent! He wouldn't give up, said it was a matter of life or death!"
"Ugh fine. Where is he?"
"In the family room. I apologize Tina"
I sighed. "It's okay Rosalinda. Taylor can be pretty persuasive"
I slowly made my way to the living room, taking my sweet time. When I got there I saw Taylor sitting on MY couch, watching MY tv, sipping water from MY glass.
"So what do you want, Taylor?" I said from behind him, making him jump in fright.
"Tina! Ahh I've been trying to get a hold of you all day! I really need to talk to you"
