(of a person) having giving up all hope; despairing
TAYLOR was a loner, a nobody, ever since the death of her mother she had been that way. people didn't shut her out, she shut them out.she never let anyone closer to her for the fact of bei...

taylor felt happier then ever at the hale house, she was safe from her father and his abusive nature. free to do what ever she wanted without a consequence.
to the hales she fitted in with there flow quite quickly. she picked up the way of their life as fast as derek could run. which was pretty fast. to laud and cora she felt like a sister. the three when taylor was not with derek often went out shopping or had sleepovers in laura and taylor's room.
when peter was around he was kind but taylor felt that he was hiding something not only from her but from the whole hale family. she didn't know him to well so she didn't press the matter or go to thalia about it.
weeks past and taylor life got better, she avoided pubs on the way to and from school as to not run into her father. not that he would notice her if he was out of his head drunk.
the only thing that annoyed her was the fact that derek refused to turn her into a werewolf. she never asked hi but knew if he did what the answer would be. she underused why but she wasn't paige, she felt deep in her gut that f she was t be bitten she would change and live.
sophomore year was coming to an end and taylor couldn't be more happier about it. this would be the first summer where she wouldn't have to worry about her dad, she could go on date with derek and nit have to expect a slap when she returned.
~~~~~
it was the first day of sumer when thalia announced that a pack of werewolves where coming and staying for a week. dereks hand which was holding taylor tightened. the last time the packs where here, well you know what happened.
"what are we going to do about taylor" little cora asked placing her hand on taylor shoulder.
"well we can do three things,"thalia started.
"we can hide her from the packs and pretend for the time that their here that she doesn't exist, or we can pretend she's a werewolf but we'll have to come up with a reason that her eyes don't glow, or we can actually turn her"
"NO" derek shouted"no ones turning her"
thalia who knew why didn't argue. but cora and laura did.
"why derek then she really would be a part of the pack"cora said
taylor stayed quiet, of course she wanted to be turned but she wanted derek in her life more.
"i'll hide"she spoke up."i'll go back to my dads for a week"
this idea also didn't go well with derek.
"your not going back their either, look i agree, you'll hide but the pack won't be staying in the house so any time there hear we'll just go somewhere else until their gone"he said, thalia nodded.
"don't worry they won't know she's here"thalia said, her voice was strong something that made taylor believe that with the pack coming things would be all right in the end.
derek sat back down beside her taking her hand again."i made a promise and I'm gonna keep it no matter what" he gave her a hug which she returned,
peter who had been out all day then ran in the door a look of pure worry on his face,
he only uttered two words, two very scary words.
"their here"
dereks face hardened and his hand clenched hers.
~~~~~~
derek wasn't important to the packs coming so his abcense would go unoticed by their quote un quote guests.
they spent the day in the forrest derek showing her the places he lied to go to when peter or the others where getting to him.
it was a small lake ,lilypads covered parts of it. they sat with their feet in the water the coll liquid was refreshing and it calmed derek who was fuming about her being quite unsafe with their predicament at the moment.
she closed her eyes and lived in the moment, the sun was high overhead its rays warm and welcoming on her soft skin, the cool breeze made the warmth bearable. she felt comfortable here. it didn't matter where she was along as derek was beside her she felt safe.
she didn't notice(as her eyes were closed) that derek was staring at here in pure awe. he thought as the sun shined on her face that she looked beautiful and wondered why someone like her excepted him what others might call a half breed.
"why do you like me"taylor asked as she opened her eyes and began to take in the view around her for the fifth time.
"what do you mean"derek frowned
"why do you like me" she repeated turning to look at him.
"why do you think i like you"
"honestly"she paused" i think at first you liked me because i didn't like you"
he now understood what she meant with this question."so now that i know you like me you think that I'm gonna stop liking you?" she shrugged.
"not worried more just wondering when"
he wrapped his arm around her shoulder,"what if i never stop liking you"
she was quiet for a moment.
"derek you know that you gift could keep us apart" she didn't want to admit it but she couldn't hide every time the packs came to seek guidance for thalia.
"if you inviting what i think your insisting then forget it I'm not putting you in that danger, I'm not gonna loose you like i lost paige"
"you won't, derek eventually you gift is gonna drive us apart, you can't protect me forever either i cant deal with it anymore and leave or you have to choose between me and you family, and i don't want that to happen"
derek stayed quiet he understood but the risk of her dying far outweighed the risk of her leaving him, of course he would want her to be with him for the rest of their lives. but he would rather not be with her and she be alive rather then be with her but losing her when she is give the bite.
"lets not talk about this now, lets just get through this week first"
she didn't push it, she knew eventually he would give in.
all she had to do was wait and waiting patiently was something she excelled at.
