Crowded/TaylorCaniff

Chapter 14.

I was broken, my heart wasn't beating right, my mind wasn't thinking right, and everything I did, I felt bad for, but he cheated on me, but I still can't find a way to leave my house.

But today was different, only because I had school.

I brushed my hair, and curled it, I wore a long sleeve shirt and skinny jeans and flats, and I did my makeup.

"Mom, when do you leave for work?" I asked, grabbing an apple.

"8:30 this morning" she smiled, washing the last dirty dish.

"Will you take me to school,me and Taylor aren't dating anymore, and well, it's complicated."

"Of course honey."

The car ride was weird, but it gave me time to think.

"Bye mom, love you" I smiled and got out of the car.

Walking into school isn't great, when your using to having Taylor holding your hand or something.
I decided to skip breakfast and go into the library.

I placed my bag in the floor and searched for a book, I went to grab a book, and somebody grabbed it before me, I look at the missing spot, where the book used to be, a boy with blonde hair and green eyes looked at me.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled.

"I am, here you take it, I'll wait roll your done reading it" he smiled, walking over to me and handing me it.

"Thank you, I'm actually really excited to read it" I smiled.

"I'm cole" he smiled.

"I'm Lia" I said laughing.

"Do you wanna walk this morning? I don't wanna go to breakfast, and we have 10 minutes left" he smiled, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Of course" I smiled and put the book in my bag.

"I play basketball and golf" he said, we've been asking each other question the whole 10 minutes.

"Are you ticklish" he asked, I immediately responded with a yes.

He started tickling me, and I put my hands on his biceps to maybe make him stop, he did and I finally got my breathe back.

"Your laugh is funny" he laughs.

"Thanks goofy" I smiled back.

*TAYLOR POV*

I don't think I have any other chance with Lia, she finally became my girlfriend and I messed it up, we knew each other since the beginning of spring break, and it's almost summer break.

I walked Into school with my head held down, without her, it seemed so unreal.

This would be the part when I would walked in, holding hands with her and smiling, like that perfect couple in the movies.

I see my friend zach talking to his friend, if it wasn't for his bullshit party I wouldn't be in this situation, but I got drunk, and so it was my fault to.

"Sorry about lia man, let it go" zach said, approaching me, I lost it.

I grabbed him by his shirt, and slammed him against the locker.

"Shut up, shut the fuck up" I screamed.

"You don't know what it's like to actually love somebody, you can't even keep your dick in your pants" everything was just coming out, I was so beyond done.

I let go, turning Around, and walking away.

*COLE POV*

I met this girl this morning, her name is Lia, we've talked a lot today, she wasn't happy though, or it seemed like she wasn't, she's already my bestfriend.

"Listen, your said, what's actually wrong?" I asked her, before sitting at the lunch table beside her.

"You know Taylor right?" She asked, I do, we used to be best friends, but we stopped for some reason.

"Yeah" I responded.

"Well, we went to a party at his friends house, I actually hate parties, I hate being around drunk people, and the music, it gives me headaches, well of course when we got there, people were drunk, it was loud as well, I got lost into the crowd, and Taylor was dragged away from me, I found my friend Carrie, but couldn't see Taylor, I asked a kid, who actually bumped into me, where he was, he pointed at the bar, and I saw Taylor kissing another girl, and he was enjoying it, she was perfect, actually beyond perfect, it made me think about myself, I've always had problems with fitting in, and being happy with myself, I was broken as well, I couldn't handle the fact that my boyfriend, well was my boyfriend was kissing a girl, it was awful as well, because she was perfect, and I'm not like her, and that's why I'm sad, but I have to let go" she looked down, she was really hurt.

"Listen, I knew Taylor from back then, he wasn't always this wealthy kid, his mother was a drug abuser, and he used to live with her, she wasn't stable enough to take care of them, and he's been different every since then, but he does have a heart of gold, he just doesn't show it, I'm pretty sure he was just drunk and thought it was you, he's probably missing you, and your missing him as well." I smiled, opening my water bottle and taking a sip.

"True, but I'm giving it time" we both got up and dumped the trays.

"We should totally hangout tomorrow at school" she smiled and walked into her next period.

"Defs" I smiled and bumped into someone.

"Sorry bro" I looked up to see Taylor.

"Nah it's fine" I responded.

"Cole? We haven't talked in forever, how are you buddy?" He asked, shocking that he's starting a conversation.

"I'm good, how are you?" I asked, he was really like a brother to me.

"I'm fine, just worked up lately" he responded, while replacing his hat back on his head, same old Taylor.

"We should hang out again sometime" he smiled and Handed me his phone.

"Put your number In" he responded, I did and he smiled.

"Listen bro, I gotta go, but you text me sometime, and we can chill" I smiled and agreed.

Today's been a completely long day.
