Taylor POV
"What were you thinking when you said yes?" Sam scolded as soon as we walk in the door. "Its just a date." I mumbled.
"You hardly know him and a date already!" He raised his voice at me.
I spun around and glare at him. "Oh and if Anthony or Connor ask me out on a date, I could say yes?" I yelled.
He throw his hands in the air, "At least you knew them longer." he exclaimed.
I slammed my hand on the table, "I'm sick and tired of you guys controlling my life! Until when can I actually went out on a date! When? I'm 17 for fucks sake! I'm grown up! I should make my own choices not you!" I shouted.
He glare at me, "We're your brothers and e just want the best for you."
"Yes you're my brother and want the best for me. But a good brother will be there to support her sisters choices. They will be there when she need them too But a good brother don't control his sister's life!" I yelled. My throat are hurt from all the yelling and my eyes are burn from the tears. "I just want to live my life like any other kid Sam. Is that so hard to ask for?" I whisper.
I wipe my tears roughly and ran upstairs, slamming my door loudly with so much force than needed. I shouted and yelled out loud until my throats are burn from all the yelling. I throw myself on my bed and hug my teddy closer. The teddy was a gift from my mother when she's still pregnant of me. Its worn out but I still kept it.
After few hours of staring blankly, I decided to get up and have a shower. I walk up to the bathroom and filled my tub with foam lavender scent and step in after stripping off my clothes. I let myself relax my body and mind with the soft music that I've turn on.
A knock on my room door, startle me. "Taylor, let me in so we can talk." Sam called out. I have an attached bathroom and I usually bath with the door open. "I'm in a shower, I'll see you downstairs when I'm done." I shouted.
I heard footsteps walking away, I sigh and got out of the tub and dry my body. I changed into my shorts and loose shirt before putting my hair up in a bun and went downstairs. Sam and Chad are sitting on the couch, talking softly among themselves. I sigh and plop down on the loveseat. They stop talking and smile at me which I just roll my eyes at.
"Hey Taylor, I'm sorry I reacted that way." Sam started, "Everday, I watch girls got their heartbroken by guys like him and-" he said but I cut him off.
"Excuse me? Guys like him?" I asked, "You don't even know him." I pointed out.
He sigh, "See I just got scared that you're gonna be one of them. I don't want to see my sister get hurt." he said. I sigh, "Well you're a guy." I mumbled.
Chad groaned, "I don't care. You're gonna stay away from him Taylor." He said wit h authority.
"But-"
"No buts! You're staying away from him and that's final!" he raised his voice at me. I glare at him before stood up and stomp back upstairs, feeling mad and annoyed at him.
That night I didn't bother going downstairs for dinner. They check on me every now and then but I ignored them. I texted Gil, 'Hey do you think you can come over and fetch me for school tomorrow?'
Few minutes later she replied my text with 'Yeah no problem.'
I sigh and pluck it to the charger and turn off the lights, I grab my laptop and turn it on. After awhile, I went to Facebook and see a new friend request, Jared. I just shrug and accepted.
Few seconds later I got a message. I opened it.
Jared: I didn't get you in too much trouble did I?
I rolled my eyes and let out a low chuckled.
Me: You kind of did. And tomorrow I won't be going to the date with you cause I was demanded to stay away from you.
Jared: Aww goody goody. You really need to live a little.
Me: Nah, I don't want them to have my head anytime soon.
Jared: Well, you're cute but too bad you're boring.
Me: Good! I don't want to attract any troublemaker like you :p
Jared: Hardy har! seriously though, I'm gonna kidnap you tomorrow and show you how to live.
I didn't even get a chance to reply cause he went offline. I groaned but I start to smile a little after that. My heart raced when he said I'm cute cause honestly, who won't when a good looking guy compliments you?
I close my laptop and pull the cover over my body and snuggle closer to my teddy. I went to sleep, with a smile plastered on my face.

"Hey, your pancake is ready." Chad said as soon as I walk in the kitchen.
I ignored him and went over the the cupboard and grabbed a granola bar. "I hitch a ride with Gillian from today onwards." I told Sam and left the kitchen without waiting for his response.
I walk out the door and Gil is already parked in my driveway. I smile and got in, "Sorry I bother you with this all." I said feeling guilty.
She laugh, "Tay you're my bestfriend. Besides, I'm tired of just walking to school everyday. Maybe fetch you to school and send you can be a great idea." she stated, shrugging.
I laugh and shook my head, "Oh no You don't have to send me home. I'll go home by bus." I told her.
"Whatever you say Taylor."
She parked in the lot few minutes later. I thanked her and went inside first since she said she want to hang in the car for a little bit. I got to my locker and open it.
"Morning."
I turn around and Jared is leaning against the locker beside mine. I quirk my eyebrow, "Go away Jared." I sigh.
"Why should I? You seem to enjoy my company." He said
I huff, "No. I don't. Now, go away. I don't want anymore trouble with my brother." I grumbled and slammed my locker shut.
I walk away when he grabbed my arm and pull me back. My heart beat fastened from how close he was to me.
Good thing is the hallway is empty cause my locker is all the way by the corner at the empty hallway. I'm one of the few people who had the locker here. "You said you want to go away but your eyes told me differently." he whisper.
"Oh yeah? What did they told you?" I challenged.
He smile, not smirking or grinning, a real genuine smile that show his right dimple and it melt my heart. "That you want me to stay and teach you how to live."
I rolled my eyes and take a step back. "You don't know me." I said and walk away.
He fall in step beside me, "That's why there's this thing called date. It let us know the person better." he said.
"Ha ha very funny." I mutter sarcastically.
He grinned, "You should really hang out with me." He stated.
"Why's that?" I asked and stop walking to stare at him. He smile, "Because I'm interested in knowing more about you." he admitted.
A smile made its way on my face. "I wish I could. But I can't." I said truthfully. He sigh, "Taylor break the rules. Once in awhile, break the rules. After all, you'll only have one chance to live." He said with a wink before walking away, leaving me thinking over what he just told me.
I shook my head and walk over to my first class. Not wanting to waste anymore time.

"Rumors has it that Jared ask you out." Iggy said as we doing our practice in gym.
I look at her, "Who told you that?" I asked as I ran and touch the line before running across and touch the line again and basically repeating the same thing until coach blow his whistle.
"Oh some girls in gym class just now." she answered, "So is it true?"
"Well kind of but I said no."
She gasped. "Why did you said no?" She asked, annoyed. I laugh, "Cause my Chad has said that he want me to stay away from him and that's final." I told her.
She groaned, "Don't listen to him. For once, stop being a goody goody and be a bit rebel." she grumbled.
I sigh, "Wish it could be that easy."
Coach blow his whistle. We stop running and catch our breath. "Its easy Taylor. All you gotta do is break the rules." she told me.
That's exactly what Jared told me. Break the rules.
I grinned. I guess they right. I gotta break the rules to live my life. Be a little bit of rebellious.
After practice and shower, I let my hair down since its still damp from the shower, I changed into my outfit and left the locker room after saying goodbyes with my teammates.
I walk out the front door and Jared is leaning against his bike, playing with his phone.
He look up and grinned at me. I smile and make my way towards him. "Why are you here?" I asked. He smirk, "I'm waiting for you because I have a feeling that you made up your mind already." He told me.
I quirk my eyebrow, "How did you know little?"
He shrug, "I just do." he said proudly. I chuckled, "Well you got me to break the rules. Now what?" I asked.
He smile and hand me a black helmet. "Put this on." he stated.
I chuckled nervously, "I don't know how." I said unsure. He laugh and take the helmet from my hand and put it on my head for me. He took a step closer to clip the helmet thing, I don't even know what this thing is.
I could smell his scent. Abercrombie masculine smell.
He grinned, "There all done. Isn't that easy?" he said.
"Its heavy." I whined.
He rolled his eyes, "Its suppose to be so it will protect your head." He told me as he knock on the helmet.
-----
He park his bike outside the very eerie lot.
"Where are we?" I asked as I walk a little closer beside Jared since I was scared. He chuckle and wrap his arm around my waist.
He open the door of the building and led me inside. I heard people shout and some chanting. "What's that?" I asked as I look at him.
He grinned and somehow when he open another door, I gawk over how many people there is and their attention is on the middle of room. Jared took me to a illegal street fight.
"Welcome to the street fighting club. Though, I haven't really catch the name." he announced.
I raise my eyebrow, "Oh it's a street fight? I have no idea, I thought they were dancing in there." I retorted sarcastically.
Jared laugh. Its not just a chuckle or a small laugh. Its a full-blown throw your head at the back laugh.
I smile at the sound of his laughter. "You really is something else Taylor." He said when he sobered up. I furrowed my eyebrow, "Is it a good thing or bad?" I asked.
He shrug, "Depends on yourself. But it's a good kind of something else." He told me.
I huff, "Why are we here?" I grumbled. He look around, "Because this is the place where people broke the rules." he answered. I stare at him blankly, "Really? Of all places, you took me here?"
He laugh, "Nah. I'm just interested in this street fighting. Plus my friend will be up next." he told me.
"Okay then."
