"Miguel come on!" I laughed dragging him through the haunted house.
"I can't believe you influenced me to go first!" He yelled.
"It's fun!" I laughed.
"Fun?" Miguel echoed, "I'm about to shit myself!"
"It's okay! I got you." I chuckled, "Now come on, we're almost there."
"Okay." He nodded.
"And we're out." I laughed as we exited the house.
"That was so fun!" Brady exclaimed.
"Well Brady had fun." Jacob chuckled.
"What a rush!" Madi jumped up and down.
I looked down to see Miguel was still holding my hand. I didn't say anything though. I pulled out my phone to look at my TikTok. I saw so many comments shipping me and Miguel.

@miguelswife
OMG! Just go ahead and get married!
@tristanpravong
Oooh! Miguel and Taylan sitting in a tree.
@masonthames4ever
They are even matching their sneakers!!!
I looked up and faced Tristan, "Tristan, why would you comment that."
"What?" He furrowed his eyebrows, "Oh! Because you guys are cute!"
"Who's cute?" Miguel asked, I hand him my phone to look at the comments, "Awe."
"What?" Madi asked.
"People are shipping us together on TikTok." I answered.
"Awe! That's so sweet!"
"Yeah, I guess it is." I shrugged.
"So, is it true you're recording a single?" Brady asked, I nodded my head with a huge smile.
"And, I've been writing a few songs." I chuckled, "Speaking of I need to make a youtube video to each of you reacting to it."
"Wait it's about us?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah? But I have to record it in the studio first." I smiled.
"Sounds good." Jacob smiled.
My phone buzzed and I looked at it, seeing someone commented on insta. I furrowed my eyebrows seeing I didn't know the user. Maybe a fan? I opened it and my chest sunk. No. No. No. No!

She's such a pick me. Can she just
kill herself already?
@daphnemortage
Fax! 😂
I dropped my phone, running to the nearest bathroom. I locked myself in a stall, sliding against the wall to the floor. Why now? Why this? Are they right? Should I kill myself?
-Miguel-
I watched Taylan run into a bathroom, and I looked down at her phone. I picked it up reading the comment she was viewing. My jaw tightened. What a bunch of punks.
"What is it?" Mason asked, I gave the phone to him so they can all look, then I started to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Jacob asked.
"Where do you think? To get Taylan." I turned back and ran to the bathroom, my friends following me.
"Miguel you can't go in there." Madi commanded.
"I have to."
"Jesus that means we're going in to." Brady whined
I ran into the bathroom, looking under every stall until I found Taylan. She was sitting on the floor, her sobs filling the bathroom.
"Taylan?" Mason asked .
"Tay it's just us." Tristan sat down to.
"Tay don't listen to them, they're just jealous that all." Jacob concluded.
"Yeah, I mean we all get thousands of hate comments all the time." Brady commented.
"Come on Tay." Madi said softly.
She sniffled but didn't say anything.
"Tay you don't have to be brave okay?" I whispered.
"I'm tired of this." She finally said, "I didn't know making one single TikTok would lead to this. How can people be so cruel." She sniffled.
"I know it sucks." I sighed, "But Taylan, those people just wanna get in your head. They say stuff that eats your from the inside out just so they can win."
"Yeah." Mason spoke up, "Taylan, your amazing. Don't listen to them."
"Yeah, besides, Daphne's a bitch." Tristan blurted, I heard her chuckle a bit.
"Taylan please come out." I whispered.
I saw her get up, so I quickly got up as did Tristan. I heard the lock and Taylan opened the door. She wiped some of her tears, then looked at me. I walked over and wrapped my arms around her, and she did the same, not letting go for a minute.
"Come on, let's get you home." I told her.
