Destiny

Chapter Twenty-Five

Taylor's POV

"Hey," Chelsea states nervously sitting down next to me.  Austin had wanted me to come to his show that he was having here in Miami yet he failed to mention Chelsea was coming.

"Hi," I reply softly avoiding eye contact with her. I shift on the backstage couch trying to get comfortable but the past few days, Nikkiana has been making my life a living hell.

"I'm sorry. My mom talked to me. I didn't realize how I was affecting you. I was just so set on Austin finally getting what he wanted and then the whole my best friend is having my brothers baby kinda threw me off. You honestly can't blame me can you?" she offers her voice cracking slightly.

"I know. I ruined his career but Chels, you have to look at it from my perspective too.. I was just as freaked out and scared as you were but I never turned my back on you guys. I was making the effort and everyone just shut me out. It hurt me physically and emotionally and I don't think I can ever forget this whole thing," I mumble in response. She looks down nodding.

"I know and I'm so so sorry. It took me a while to come to my senses but after I talked to my mom, I realized how awful I was," she states. "I want to help you and Austin. I know I wasn't a full supporter but I'm willing to do whatever you need me to do," she adds making my facial expressions soften.

"Thank you," I whisper wrapping my arms around her.

"Austin! Austin!" Timmy's voice sounds making me laugh. Austin was all the way on stage and we were all the way in the very back.

"Shut up Tim. He can't hear you!" Kimberly scolds making me chuckle. "Oh my god he's having a great time!" she adds making my heart break. I'm taking away the one thing he loves. He's never going to get far with me in his life. I can't do this to him.

"He's amazing," I mutter feeling a teardrop escape my eye. I quickly wipe it away and turn my attention towards the best guy in the world.

Three Days Later

"What's up with you? You seem upset," Austin points out wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I lean against him and kiss his cheek.

"Nothings wrong. I promise," I mumble and he kisses the top of my head.

"Talk to me please," he begs whispering in my ear.

"I'm holding you back Austin. I don't want to be the reason you can't go on tours. Or do any concerts. Austin you deserve so much better than me. Of course you can see her whenever you want it's just you deserve a life," I say turning to face him and his face drops.

"Taylor honestly how can you say all this? I've done nothing but prove to you how much I want this. I want us to be able to work. I will go to hell and back for you and our baby girl. I know music has been my dream but I can go on tours and be a dad as well as a good boyfriend. Can't you give me the chance to prove it to you," he mutters in response, his face still looking extremely upset.

"Austin, I didn't mean to offend you. I want you to go out there and make a name for yourself and your mahomies. I do believe in you. I really do. I've believed in you the day you told me you were getting signed to a record label," I reply wrapping my arms around his neck. "But if you want this, you got it," I mumble in his ear. I feel him gently squeeze me.

"Wait. The day I told you about the deal, weren't you going to tell me something?" he asks pulling away. I nod slowly and by the look on his face, I knew his recognizes and pattern. "You were going to tell me you were pregnant," he mumbles and I nod again not sure what else to do. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in and kisses me.
