Authors note: Hey everyone, I know it's been a while, but this chapter is very long and heavy and definitely important to the story, so I wanted to spend a lot of time on it. I also Didn't have time to proof read a lot so please let me know if something doesn't make sense. Hope you enjoy!

In Taylor's apartment, Same day as before.

———————————————————————————

"Hey." Joe looked up to see the blond beauty that was standing in the frame of the doorway

"Hey Taylor" Joe responded. "Did you have fun last night?" A loaded question, Taylor didn't quite know how to answer it.

"Yeah I did" she responded, deciding to go with a simple approach, what was she scared of anyway.

"I'm glad this is working out for you. I can tell you really like her." Joe's English accent strong. Taylor always loved his accent. It made her smile. But not as much as Karlie's lisp. Stop. You shouldn't be thinking about her like this. You're taken. Maybe this whole thing was a mistake Taylors thoughts echoed in her head

"No!" Taylor blurted out loud. Startling her and Joe alike.

"I know you do. It's okay Taylor. You've always loved her. It was always gonna be her." Joe words hit like Ice. Was he right? And if so had their relationship ever been real?

"What are you talking about? I'm with you, I love you" Taylor barely choked the words out. I love you. Such a passionate word, when she used to say it to Karlie her heart would sore, exploding when Karlie said it back. But with Joe it felt just like it did when she said it to Selena or Abigail. How had she not realized this earlier? How could she be dating Joe? It was all too much, the thoughts swirled around in her head. And her heart started beating out of her chest. Oh no it was happening, and she didn't think she could stop it this time.

Taylor was right, Karlie didn't spot any paparazzi, and after being with Taylor for so many years she had kinda gotten good at spotting them

"Will you calm down?" Jordyn laughed from next to her.

"What are you talking about?" Karlie chuckled back. Pretending like she didn't already know the answer

"You look just like how mom does, except she has a reason for it, you don't. I told you, no one gives a shit about me" Jordyn couldn't help but chuckle as Karlies jaw dropped in response to her cursing.

"What? I'm not a kid anymore. And it's not like mom cares" Jordyn added defensively.

"I know, but it's still a little bit of a shock" Karlie looked over at the girl, she was so big now, still surprisingly short for the height of her parents. But Karlie knew why. Jordyn had been on meds when she was little, they ruined her appetite, and she never ate. It's not like Taylor was the best influence on her either, Struggling with an ED herself. But Taylor and Karlie always did their best to get Jordyn to eat. It didn't matter what they did though, she hated eating almost as much as she hated sleeping, and in consequence Jordyn was only 5 foot at 13.

Karlie enjoyed every moment of time she had with Jordyn, she knew it would be over soon. They went and had lunch at their favorite restaurant, and then they got ice cream and were on there way to sit in a pretty park when Jordyn's phone rang.

"That's odd, it's Joe." Jordyn frowned at the phone. Why would he be calling her? "Maybe he's just calling to say bye before he gets on his plane?" Karlie suggested. Jordyn looked at the time and realized Karlie was probably right, Joe was probably about to leave to drive to the airport. She almost forgot to answer the phone but quickly did
