The Boy Next Door - A Austin Mahone fanfic. - COMPLETED

The Fight - Part 1

Taylor POV 7

I take my time in the shower trying to get Tanners nasty germs off of me. I was never going out again.

Why couldn't I find a decent guy who waited till at least the third date before he jumped my bones?

Because all those guys thought I'd shoot them down.

I'd have to remember to be nicer to them; those were the gentleman's I'd been looking for.

I skip blow drying my hair and let it dry naturally.

I emerge from the bathroom to find Austin looking at my wall of photos.

'Hey,' I say coming up behind him. 'Those are mostly my friends from cheer, soccer and competitive dance. I miss them.'

'You dance? Since when?'

'I've always danced. But when I started gaining weight, I quit because I couldn't handle the workouts. But Bailee helped me lose weight and got me back in dancing mode. I want to be a dancer after high school. Or a singer. Maybe actress. Who knows? It's Hollywood. I could do all 3.' I say jokingly.

He turns to me. 'I really am sorry about what I put you through. It was really immature and no matter how many times I tell you sorry, you'll never know how much a regret it. I hope one day you'll forgive me.'

I smile sweetly at him. 'You'll get payback soon.'

'I deserve everything I get. What are we going to do tonight?' He asks, walking to Bailee's bed and sitting down.

'We can watch tv, movies, play COD, um talk or swim. Your choice.'

'Its raining outside.'

My face lights up. 'So? You've never swam in the rain? Omg, you have to! It's so much fun. Except don't surf in a thunderstorm. The waves are choppy and you could die. No fun.'

'You surf?'

'I learned how to from a local in Hawaii. Lived there for a month. Dads work. Of course, the waves were better there than in Florida.'

I get a mischievous grin on my face and run to my closet. 'Don't look!'

I grab Drew's old clothes and throw them at Austin then grab at least 3 towels for both of us.

'What are we doing?' Austin asks, sounding nervous.

'Swimming duh.'

'In what?'

'Our underwear. It's dark. The pool lights are off. Everyone is asleep and no one will know about this but us. Once in a life time thing. You'll wish you had when your old and gray.'

I look at him and smile. 'Never mind, you do what you were doing and I'll go swimming in the rain.'

I walk out of my room and down the stairs, not waiting to see if he's following me.

Austin POV

I sigh and follow her out the room.

This better be worth it.

I look away as she undresses and when she realizes what I'm doing, she smiles a big smile, 'See you out there partner.'

Taylor POV

Why the hell did I bring this up and go through with it? He must think I want to see him in his underwear.

Oh god. Abort. Abort. ABORT.

I was in the moment and it didn't matter that the guy I had a crush on forever was next to me while I undressed.

God, I'm so stupid.

Correction; still had a crush on.

'What do we do now?' He asks, scaring me a little.

'I don't know. Enjoy the rain.'

Stay here forever. Not care what anyone thinks. We go out and live happily ever after. I start to feel a smile come on my face that I can't hide.

'What?' Austin asks, a sloppy grin on his face.

'Nothing. Just remembering the good times. When it rains in the summer, I want you to think of me. Your crazy friend who got you to swim at 1 in the morning when it was storming.'

'I think of you everyday. You never really left Taylor. For the past 7 years, I've done nothing but think about you. Your always on my mind. When you left, I felt so bad. I thought I had caused you to move away. You left without saying goodbye. I tried finding you on Facebook but I guess you blocked me.'

I never had a Facebook, I think.

'I'm sorry about everything I did. God, I could tell you everyday how sorry I am and you would never know how sorry I really am. I-' I place a finger on his lips to shush him. 'I get it. Your sorry. What's in the past Austin is staying in the past. You can't change it. You can only move forward and better yourself from it and prove to the ones you hurt that you've changed.' I say. 'I'm going to bed.' I mutter quietly, swimming away.

'Taylor, wait.' Austin calls. 'Do you still have feelings for me?'

I feel my breath shorten and my chest tighten.
