Invisible String

Break Up

"I don't know what's gonna happen but I need to visit home soon," Joe sighs.

"Everyone is going to hate me again," Taylor mumbles sitting down beside him, "How am I going to manage this now?" Her voice starts to crack.

"Heyyy sshh, everything is going to be alright. I promise," He wraps his arm around her her and starts rubbing her shoulder, "I'll talk to Martha she'll take care of everything."

"I just wanted to live in peace, without all these drama but they keep coming back to me, all the time," She cries out softly, his grip on her shoulder tightens.

"Don't worry babe. I'll take care of everything."

"What about Joy? I don't want to go her through all of these scandals."

"She's going to be safe," He whispers kissing the crown of her forehead.

"This is my fault I shouldn't have let the fan take pictures with us."

"No it's not your fault. I've seen the pictures that mom sent me and they were shot by the paps. They stalked us."

"But how'd they know that we've gone there?" She frowns.

"I have the same question to be honest," He looks at her. Seeing her cry like this, he wipes off her tears and kisses her forehead again. He's going to keep both of them safe, at any cost.

Taylor wraps her arms around his waist and keeps crying onto his shoulder until she falls asleep on the couch. She's exhausted.

The next morning the doorbell rings again and Taylor goes to open the door. Sam steps inside with a huge smile.

"I've decided to have the breakfast here today," He grins eyeing Joe in front of him.

"Hey man you look like shit. Didn't sleep properly last night huh? Or do I say the mountain ride got too hard on you?" Sam tries to piss him off knowing that Joe actually didn't sleep well. How could he? After all he has spreaded some juicy rumors to the media.

"You know what I have more important things to deal with rather than talking to someone who lacks in brain cells," Joe frowns looking at Taylor and goes to Joy's room. Joy's new bed has arrived. He's gonna enjoy fixing it with her instead. Of course he wanted Taylor to join them as well but that piece of shit decided to show up again, like he always does.

"It's good that you came. I needed to talk to you," Taylor smiles softly looking at Sam while Joe's gone.

"Sure," Sam gets excited and sits down on the stool across the kitchen counter, watching Taylor making breakfast for them. She looks so good in her morning attire. Her messy ponytail and pinkish lips...

"Sam are you listening?"

"What? Did you say something?"

"Yeah?"

"Sorry I got distracted."

"Okay then let me repeat," Taylor shrugs and puts the spatula down, "I need a break from our relationship."

"WAIT WHAT? I THOUGHT WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION YESTERDAY AND YOU DECIDED TO STAY WITH ME?" He raises her voice in disbelief.

"I had to say that because you were creating a scene in front of the crowd."

"Stop. No. You can't just do that to me."

"I'm sorry Sam. But I just realized that I'm not ready for a relationship right now. Lots of things have been going on and this is just making me feel more exhausted," She looks at him without showing any emotions.

"What if we just take a break for few week? You'll miss me and come back to me I know."

"That's not going to happen Sam."
