Chapter 5

At that moment, Taylor walked in. Gaga was stunned yet happy. "Taylor! I've missed you so much sweetie! How come you're back so soon?!" Gaga moved in to kiss him but Taylor backed out of it. "What's wrong? Has something happened?" Gaga shot a concerned look in my direction. Maybe I had been right. Taylor flushed pink, perhaps with embarrassment. "It was only an accident! A mistake that'll never happen again, as long as I live!" Taylor was shouting now, he was so distressed. Gaga didn't know what he was talking about. "It was just a one night stand! I promise! I was foolish!" He'd let it slip there.
"Taylor Kinney, are you meaning to say you slept with another girl?! Behind my back?! You can go to hell! I never want to see you again!" Gaga stormed off. I glared at Taylor. "How could you do this to her? You know how fragile she is!" Taylor groaned and took a seat on one of the bar stools. "I was drunk and I wasn't thinking. I didn't mean anything by it." I shook my head in disbelief.

After a while I went up to Gaga's room. She was curled up in the corner sobbing. I couldn't bear to leave her alone for much longer. "Are you okay sweetie?" I crouched down beside her.
"H-h-h-how could he d-d-d-do this to me?" She broke down again, her breath in short sharp gasps. "He didn't mean anything by it," I said, quoting him. "He was drunk and he wasn't thinking."
"I know th-th-th-that!" She stifled. "But it could easily h-h-h-happen again!" She wept again, mascara tracks running down her face. There were wet patches on her plaid shirt where the tears had soaked through. "Don't worry Mother Monster. We can get through this together."

Gaga spent the rest of the week smoking joints in her room. Whenever I saw her she was stoned and laughing hysterically at the wall. "AHAHA! It looks like a frog! Why the hell is there a frog on my wall." She gave me a suffocating hug. "Taylor! How are you!"
"It's Indie, Stef. You need to stop doing this to yourself. You're gonna get ill."
"I'm fine. Taylor. Just kiss me what the hell....." She went silent. I could still smell it in the air. Taylor walked in. Immediately it hit his nose. He backed out again.
"Stef! How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing this! I've tried to save you once but I don't think I can do it again." Gaga snorted in disbelief.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here. I already told you you're not welcome." At least it seemed to be wearing off on her.
