This I Love

It Ain't Easy

Tay and Ellie finally together again! ^

I paced around the apartment, and tore my fingers through my hair. 

The door swung open and Izzy appeared in the doorway.

I let out a relieved sigh,"Hey, um, can you watch Theo for a little while? I need to go see Eleanor"

"Yeah, of course." Izzy said and plopped down on the couch

Theo was crawling around on the floor, Izzy kicked his boots up on the coffee table and closed his eyes.

"Uhm." I cleared my throat

"It's okay, Taylor. I'll make sure Theo's under supervision." Hannah said and shot Izzy a glare

"Ah, thank you!" I smiled and quickly darted out the door

I walked down to the bar that Elle started working at, she also moved out of the Gunner's house, and let Molly stay with Duff.

I straightened my skirt out and walked in, I searched the room and found Elle behind the counter; all smiles.

"Ellie!" I squeaked

Elle looked around, her eyes landed on me and she lit up.

"Taylor fuckin Isbell!" Elle shouted, jumping over the counter and running up to me.

She slammed into me and pulled me into a tight hug. 

"You're back! I missed you so much! How long have you been here?" 

"I just got here yesterday, I'm gonna stay here. I miss it." 

"Thank god! It's hell out here without you." Elle smiled and looped her arm through mine. 

She took me to the bar and handed me a drink, leaning her elbows on the countertop. 

"So, Duff?" Elle said

"No Duff. Not yet." I said and took a drink

"Alright, I get that. But, lemme tell ya what a fucking loser he's turned into." Eleanor laughed

"Are you sure, I would think that he'd be hanging around with his new girlfriend." I scoffed

"What? No! Duff hasn't even looked at another girl since you've been gone." 

"Really?" I asked sarcastically

"Yes, dumby!" Elle giggled

"I'm serious though, he's never really been around any other girl. He misses you." 

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."

"Have you seen the guys yet?" 

"Yes, today actually." I grinned

"How's Slash?" Elle winked

"Oh stop that, Slash is great." 

"Has Steven been around?" I asked 

"Yeah, here and there. He'll probably be at the house for the party this weekend." Elle said

"Party?" I furrowed my eyebrows

"Iz didn't tell ya? Well the dudes are throwing a party, I'll be there. Hell, everyone will fucking be there." Elle snorted

"Oh, yeah I guess I'll be there then." I mumbled

"Don't be so glum." Elle said with a half smile

"I'm not, just-" I stopped, and sighed deeply

"It's complicated." I finally said
