12| I Need Him

Song- I Love you by Billie Eilish.

Taylor's POV.

Sitting around our new table in the cafeteria, we're all enjoying our lunch. And yes, by 'all' I mean Sidney too. Oh you can't imagine how happy I am to be sitting on the same table as her, really.

"It's pizza today, smooth." Zac smirks at the slice of pizza he's holding.

"Who doesn't like pizza right?" I give him a high five and eat as well.

"Babe? At my house after school?" Lewis whispers in my ear.

"Um I got stuff to do."

"Like what?"

I take a bite of my pizza before answering him.

"Just stuff, maybe we can go next week but not today."

He just nods in response.

Just when I was about to take another bite of the pizza, I start feeling something burning my mouth and my throat. The pain is awful.

"What's wrong?" Lewis gives me a concerned look.

"I-I Oh my god! My throat is burning!" I cry in pain.

Everyone else around the table start panicking and fidgeting.

"What happened? What did you eat?" Mason says, handing me a glass of water.

I shake my head, still crying in pain.

"What did you put in the pizza Zac?" Olivia asks him.

"I didn't put anything, Sidney brought it for all of us."

"Sidney? You slut! What did you put in her food?" Olivia screams at kidney.

She shrugs as she folds her arms on the table.

"I brought it for everyone! Do you really think I would poison all of you guys' food just to get back at her? I didn't even know which one she would pick."

"I think she's having an allergic reaction, she needs to go to the hospital right now or it'll get worse." Mason says, a concerned look on his face.

He's actually concerned about me?

"I'll take her." Lewis and Mason say at the same time.

"No I'll take her, I'm her boyfriend." Lewis insists.

"Boyfriend, my ass. Come on Taylor let's go."

He grabs my hand and starts towards the hallway.

Once we're in the hallway and about to exit the school, we hear Lewis following us.

Holy crap! I'm dying here! What the fuck?

"Mason let go of her hand right now." He says, coming towards us.

"Holy shit man!" Mason mutters. "What the fuck do you want scumbag?" He shoves Lewis backwards.

"Get away from her."

"You don't even know how to take care of her, all you want is to fuck her and then dump her! You think I don't know that you're a piece of shit?" Mason raises his voice.

I notice people coming out of the cafeteria starting to gather around us.

"Mason please! Let's just go, I'm in pain." I cry out.

"So you wanna go with him?" Lewis asks in shock.

"Listen, I don't give a fuck who takes me okay? So stop being a drama queen and let us go." I tell him.
