Shotgun (Fanfic)(On hiatus for 18 months)

Taylor

Zayn was sitting on the couch staring at the fire in the fireplace. He couldn't believe what just happened with Liam. Since when did he switch sides? They were partners in many crimes; what changed his mind? It was just so irritating.

"Why the sad face?"

A female voice said from the door.

"I'm not in mood." Zayn responded without turning his head to look.

The person walked in and sat on a couch next to Zayn.

"Are you going to throw a tantrum just because you got rejected at the first try by a person that you haven't seen for three years straight and you hadn't even planned that conversation?"

Zayn finally looked up. "I said I'm not in mood Taylor!"

"I don't care!" Taylor said with a bit of fury. "What I care about is that you are acting like a little kid! Who says you are going to succeed in everything at the first try? Why are you so angry about it???"

Zayn turned his head and looked the other way. He wasn't angry because of that; he was angry because Liam had changed too much and was nothing like before. He just wasn't in mood to explain it to Taylor.

Still, he didn't know what to do next. He looked at Taylor again. "What do you think I should do now?"

Taylor took a deep breath and looked Zayn in the eye. "Nothing. Give it some time and then go to him like you've never done before."

Harry walked into the room. His cheeks were red. Excitement had caused the blood rush to his face and there was a spark in his eyes.

-What a night!

Followed by him was Louis and behind Louis was Niall. They were all laughing.

-It was sick!

Louis gave Harry a gentle fist on the shoulder and said "I never knew you could run that fast Harry!" Harry chuckled. They had just come back from a boys night out where they reviewed some stuff that they used to do before.

-Well look who's here!

The boys suddenly stopped. Louis let his guard down once he saw who was talking, but Niall and Harry were still shocked; especially Harry. Niall was the first to react.

- ... Taylor? The last time I saw you you weren't wearing dark makeup!

- Oh yeah! 'Cause in that last time, somebody hadn't decided to leave the group yet and things were going just fine!

Taylor responded with sarcasm while giving a deadly look to Harry. Harry looked anxious and kind of scared.

-Hi...

He said quietly.

- Um... long time no see.

Taylor rolled her eyes while crossing her arms.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Niall asked. Taylor shrugged. "Like, is there a reason other than that I used to stay with you guys?"

- I know but we haven't been together for the past few years?

- Well your friend needed help! You left him all alone and didn't care at all what did you expect me to do? The exact same thing that you did? Someone had to support him right???

"I was there..." Louis said quietly.

"Wait support him for what?" Harry finally spoke up. "To get back on his feet of course!" Taylor said like it was a completely obvious thing. "When you left it gave him a big pushback!"

Harry wasn't convinced yet. "So you... were in the process of getting us here too?" "Just drop it Harold! The thing is I've been and I am here to help Zayn and that's it! The end!"

Even Louis was shocked by her behavior.

- Jeez Taylor! Never seen you like this before!

And she continued to stay the same. For the next few days, each time she was around Harry, Taylor would get sulky and sarcastic. Even if she was laughing, the moment that he walked in, she would switch her mood. Louis kept telling Harry that she was angry at him because he chose Olivia over her and now that he's back, she'd be alright with him in a few days. But it didn't seem to be that easy.

Although Taylor was really cranky with Harry, apparently (as Niall told Harry) she wasn't so friendly with anyone. The only person that she seemed to be getting along with a little bit was Zayn. One time Taylor got really angry for no reason, and stopped yelling once Zayn told her to.

It's like she was a whole different person.
