You Are The Only Exception

Chapter 4

"When I do tell him can you be there with me?"

"Sure. I'm sure everything will be fine." She smiled and stood up. "Come on, I need to warm up." I stood up with her and I'm guessing she wanted me to do it with her.

We did some weird things like making baby noises and pretending to chew gum while making a noise that got higher and lower. After that we went into where Taylor was just finishing his part of the song.

"Your turn Hayley." Taylor spun round in his chair to face me and Hayley. I sat down on Taylor's lap like I always use to so Jeremy wouldn't suspect anything. I looked at Hayley who was mouthing 'aww'.

"How's the new bass lines going J?" I asked.

"Almost finished them." He spun round on his chair to face me his smile faded a bit. "You comfortable?" I nodded, him just raising an eyebrow and turned back to his bass.

He never did like the way I sat on Taylor but he never said anything or raised an eyebrow at me.

"Jeremy?" Taylor asked, Jeremy spun back round and smiled. "Do you wanna come to lunch with us after Hayley's finished?"

"Sure. Sounds great." He once again turned around and Hayley walked into the recording area. Taylor spun around so we were facing Hayley. She started singing and boy did she sound amazing. I really do wish that I could sing like her.

We all went down the street to a café. It was bigger than the one me and Taylor went to when we arrived but still small. The wallpaper was orange and the furniture was a mixture of different shades of brown.

We grabbed a table, me sitting next to Taylor and Jeremy and Hayley opposite us.

"What's up J?" I asked. Jeremy looked distracted and upset in a way.

"It's nothing." He returned his attention to the menu. He was lying. He was a terrible lier and everyone knew it.

"Jeremy?" I asked worriedly.

"Chels, really I'm fine. I'm just thinking, okay?" I nodded and looked at the menu. Today isn't a good day to tell Jeremy about me and Taylor.

"Are you ready to order?" I looked up to see a tall, pale man with dark blond hair standing at the end if the table.

"Uh yeah I think so." Hayley said. We all gave our orders and we all started talking about random things.

"When am I going to meet Cowboy then?" I asked Jeremy.

"Maybe tomorrow. If you're good." He winked at the end and I gave him a smirk.

"I'll just have to live with Bill till then." I looked at Taylor and smiled, him doing the same.

"I'm sorry, is anything wrong with Bill?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, he's not Cowboy."

"Well Bill's cuter than Cowboy!" He snapped back.

"No way man" Jeremy joined in the conversation again "Cowboy is way cuter than Bill!"

"In your eyes maybe but not in mine." Taylor replied.

"Well said T." Hayley joining in as well.

"Excuse me?" I looked up to see the man at the end if the table again. "Uh your food." He held out a tray full of food and started to pass it to all of us.

"Thanks." I said him smiling lightly and walked back into what I think was the kitchen.

We finished our food and Jeremy paying since he got his wallet out before any of us could. We walked back to the studio, me walking with Jeremy.

"Jeremy is something wrong?" I asked. He really did have something on his mind.

"Nothing's wrong I'm just .... stressed? I guess." He took a deep breath and leaned up against a side if a building.

"You should take it easy for a bit. No one wants you to get stressed over the album, okay?" He nodded and started walking again.

We walked the rest of the way in silence. Not an awkward silence but a nice one really. We got to the studio where Taylor and Hayley were working on another song. I got Jeremy's bass ready for him to record the bit he wrote down.

"Thanks Chels." I passed the bass to Jeremy who was now sitting down in a chair and started to record his part. Everyone was so talented in this room and then there's me who can't do anything.

I walked into another room where Hayley and Taylor were, working on the new song.

"Hey Chels" Hayley waved "what do you think of this?" Taylor started to play some chords on the guitar and Hayley started to sing. It sound like perfection. All their songs did and honestly I couldn't wait till the album was released.

"It sounds awesome!" I exclaimed. "You going to record that tomorrow or?"

"Tomorrow is an off day. I guess Taylor forgot to tell you that." I looked at Taylor who was now trying to hide his head by turning the chair around.

I went over to Taylor and put his guitar up against the wall before sitting in his lap, him grunting as I did so. I giggled a moved around to get comfortable.

"You two are so cute together." Hayley smiled at the two of us and I felt my cheeks go red.

"Shut up!" I hid my head into Taylor's chest so they wouldn't notice I went red.

"What are you two doing tonight?" Hayley asked sitting back in her chair.

"We're going to the beach" Taylor moved a bit before he finished off his sentence "that's if my legs don't break."

I felt his head look down at me, I looked up at him and smiled. I got off his lap and sat down on the sofa with Hayley.

After we finished in the studio me and Taylor headed straight to the beach since it was 5:30. Taylor parked the car right by the beach and we started to walk in the soft sand. I took off my shoes and socks so I didn't get sand in them and walked along the beach with them in my hand.

The sun was just going down which left a pinky orange coloured sky. The sea reflecting off what was left of the sun and some birds flying by silently. It's calm and relaxing.

The beach was basically empty, just a couple of people walking along with their dogs and the odd jogger. Me and Taylor walked hand in hand till we found a nice spot to sit down and watch the sun set.

I leaned on Taylor's side, him wrapping his arm around me. I felt safe when I was with him. I felt like I could actually be me around him.

"This is so nice." I practically whispered. Taylor hummed in response. I wished I could stay like this forever, the sun was slowly going down and the further it lowered the more it looked relaxing.

I looked up at Taylor who was all ready looking at me with a massive smile on his face.

"What you smiling at?"

"You. You're beautiful." I felt my cheeks going red and I couldn't help but smile like a fool.

-Taylor-

I couldn't help but say she's beautiful because honestly, she was more than beautiful. She was perfect. Her hair going into a brown colour again and her skin slowly getting tanned but a fair tan.

I leaned in closer to so our faces were just inches apart. My headed was full of things to say right now but I stuck with the main one.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." She smiled and I couldn't help but kiss her. Her soft lips on mine just felt like paradise. Every time I kissed her, I always got a strange but nice feeling in my stomach.

We broke the kiss and a saw a figure behind her. I looked up to see its face.

Uh-oh.
