10 | What is this?

***** TAYLOR POV *****

Josh... James. I thought to myself as I woke up. Last night was ok I guess. I didn't expect for Hayley to have such a close guy friend other than Jeremy. Maybe they were dating... No. She wouldn't go out with me while dating another guy would she? Maybe she took our dates as a friendly date. I didn't.

I groaned and looked over at my watch.

12pm, it read.

I sighed and scratched my head, sitting up. I put on my glasses; it didn't feel like a contacts day. I put on my black clothes as always and walked downstairs.

My brother Justin was eating cereal while Oli read the newspaper eating cookies.

"So what's the plan for today? Where're we going?" I asked as i snatched one of Oli's cookies away. He groaned.

"Wherever. I got some hot chicks numbers yesterday. Anyone care to join?" Justin said pulling some napkins out, digits written on them.

"I... Think I'll pass." I said shaking my head at my brother; he's such a manwhore sometimes.

"Are you shitting me?" Justin said.
I turned around, "no I am not shitting you." I said grabbing some fresh coffee they had probably just made.

"Why?" Oli said speaking up.
"Just don't feel like dating." I took a sip out of my mug.
"Yeah right. Yet you've been spending all your time drooling over that red headed girl who doesn't even like you." Justin said shaking his head.

I glared at him, "I'm not drooling and Im not dating her. We're friends."

"With benefits?" Oli snickered.
"He wished!" Justin laughed.

"Fuck off." I muttered as I got my coffee and left upstairs.

"don't forget! Show tonight!" Justin cheered.

I groaned. Why today?
Yes. I play shows. Not big ones and I'm not really in a band. Justin and I go to small hubs and venues in downtown Nashville since we last moved here. It's nice and all but sometimes it's frustrating. Both Justin and I sing in this little music group. We're an acoustic act.

"Ok." I said going into my bedroom. I closed the door and grabbed my guitar. I started playing a tune I had been working on for a while now.

"and tell me how.. I lost my power.." I mumbled to myself while strumming it. I've only came up with a few lyrics over all and I was planning on telling Hayley to help me... Before I found out about James. I sighed and rubbed my eyes, laying down on my bed.

What is this feeling I'm feeling? My heart aches, my head is filled with James and Hayley together. I can't get it out of my head; I can't. What is this? This is new. I don't think I've felt this before. Why now? Why now for goldilocks? ... Maybe I like her and if I do, She probably doesn't like me back. I groaned and turned on my bed, facing the wall and scratching small pieces of bubbled paint.

"Taylor..." I heard my door creak open.

"What?" i mumbled. I felt like a little kid having a tantrum. Usually I was never this childish but I guess I turn childish when my feelings are out of wack. I turned over to find the Oli walking to me. He kneeled down to my level and ruffled my hair a bit.

"Get up mate. You and Justin have a sound check in an hour so better get ready." Oli said before walking out. If there was a record for most groaning in a day I wouldve already broken it. I didn't really feel like changing so I just put on my leather jacket. I grabbed my guitar and put it in its case as I carried it with me downstairs.

"You finally ready?" Justin asked as he put on his jacket and sunglasses. It's not even sunny outside you dick.

"Yeah, yeah I'm ready." I said rolling my eyes a bit at the end.
"Let's go then." Justin said. I nodded and followed him out the door.
