chapter 34 : leave me alone

She puts both her legs to the side of her and places the blanket on us both before wrapping one arm around my waist.

She gives me a small squeeze giving me a small glance.

I Look up from her shoulder a small smile creeping onto my face.

Slowly i feel myself melt into sleep.

The next day

In the morning I wake up on the couch huddled up to the back of the couch my arms wrapped around taylor.

She stays asleep arm still on my waist.

I feel myself staring at her my heart gushey.

We stay like that for another half hour before tayolr wakes up.

Once up she takes a shower whilst I gather my clothes from the dryer and change.

We both say goodbye to the just rising parents after saying thanks and reassuring them I'm fine.

The ride to my apartment was filled with talk both of us trying to avoid the talk about yesterday.

However when we get to my door taylor ask whether I wanna talk about yesterday I tell her mabey another day.

She smiles and me telling me olay respecting My wishes and not pushing.

She gives me a long hug before leaving.

I wish she didn't leave.

The next day

I sit in silence on my kitchen floor my body huddled up against the floor as I silently sob.

The sound of the front door slamming stops me crying.

I look up from my lap and look across to my phone that sits a few inches in front of me.

I reach out and dial the phone.

"Hey sunshine " taylors replies her voice gentle.

" you busy" I ask her my voice flat and missing emotion.

"No... why?" She questions her tone changing to one of concern.

"We need to talk....... I'm at my apartment" I instruct her my voice tight.

I hang up before she could reply.

I throw my phone across the floor running my hands through my hair in frustration.

Only to break Into tears again.

20 mins later

" hello hailee" taylors voice calls out from the hall way.

I hear heavy foots steps enter the door behind me.

I keep my back turned to taylor my body rigid but head held high as i rest on the counter infront of me my hands threaded toghther ontop.

" hailee... are you okay" taylor ask me her voice quiet as she steps towards me.

I feel her body behind me as she place her hand on my shoulder as she gently trys to pull me to face her.

I shove off her hand my shoulder with my hand.

I feel her step back from me.

My head drops to look at the counter.

"Hailee why won't you look at me" her voice trembles slightly.

I realise a silent breath before turning to her.

"Fuck hailee what happend " taylor whisperd as she steps towards me her eyes darting from my cheek back to eyes.

I push my back further into the counter corner turning my face to try to stop her.

But it doesn't stop her she gently places her hand under my chin and turns it to the right.

Her face contours from sadness to worry to questioning and back into worry.

I shut my eyes to ashamed to even acknowledge the bruise forming on my cheek.

" di.... diii...did you threaten Bentley" I ask her taking her hand and removing it from my chin my voice quivering in anger and sadness.

Taylor stays silent and backs away from me moving over to the other side of the kitchen her back now turned to me.

I open my eyes and let out a shake breath before stepping away from the counter.

"DID YOU?" I shout at her once again all my emotions bubbling.

Taylor sighs her whole body dropping as she runs one hand through her hair.

She turns to me her dark eyes heated as she leans against the wall beside the door frame her arms tightly folded infront of her chest.

"I did" She admits never looking away from me.

I let out a small scoff.

"It was selfish and I shouldn't have done it but HE DESERVED EVERY BIT OF IT AND MORE.." She tells me her teeth griting as her expressions of anger harden her eyes still boaring into me.

"DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK ABOUT HOW I MAY FEEL ABOUT THIS" I shout at her my voice wavering as I point at my self.

"YOU LIED TO ME..... TO YOUR MUM .....YOU SAID YOU WENT FOR A DRIVE! NOTHING ELSE!" I accuse her in disbelief pointing in the direction behind me.

Taylor looks down at the floor her face guilty.

I let out a tight laugh rolling my eyes.

I look up at the ceiling trying not to let my tears spill and dispeal my anger.

"I didn't mean for things to end this way I only did it because I Care! About you hailee!" taylor whispers her voice broken and harsh.

She looks up at me her brown eyes glassy as she frowns.

" I could have HANDLED IT MYSELF!" I cry out frustrated with people deciding to act for me.

I step back to the counter and turn my head so i don't see taylors broken eyes.

" I think it's best if you stay away from me right now. I don't feel like being around you right now" I tell taylor my voice cracking with pain at the harsh words I just said.

I glance at taylor her face completely changes to stone the glassiness of her eyes leaving in seconds.

She push herself off the wall and quietly leaves the room.

I want for the sound of the door before letting my tears fall as slide myself back to the floor my head buried in my knees.

Authors note
