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

Justin cleaning me up hurt like a bitch. But Hayley and Oli were watching me so I couldn't complain. I don't know, I guess I grew up with the saying "men don't cry" which I find to be absolute bullshit. I guess it's why I've never really cried since I was little.

At the moment, I was in my room as Hayley paced around. I sat on my bed and messed with my guitar. My right eye was black so once in a while I held ice up to it.

"Look... taylor what I did.." She started as she finally stood still. It's as if she had drinken ten cups of coffee.
"It was totally wrong and I have no idea why I did it.. Well I do. James he.. He's." She said but let outta breathy shake.

She looked up with sadness in her eyes, "he's moving to London."

Oh. So that's why she looked like she was crying after she'd stop sucking Jame's face off. I nodded.

"And.. Well he said if he could have one last kiss. I-i felt bad! I'd been ignoring him for the past week! He was my best friend and all I'd done was ignore the last hours I had with him. I guess I thought a small simple kiss would make up for it. I was heading over to meet you! just like you said on the back of the venue... But James stopped me. And then you came." She said stuttering and rambling with her words.

"Alright." I said and shrugged.

Honestly I couldn't seem to care at the moment. I had bigger problems to deal with. Hell, I just found out some mafia looking guy is after my dad. What could my dad have possibly done? Nothing. He has money.. But I don't think it was ever from gambling and what not.
Now I had three months to fix everything. Relationships at the moment didn't seem like the biggest problem anymore. I didn't know how I was supposed to tell my dad or mom or Justin.. Or Oli. God.. Oli got dragged into this family because of me. Now he might die because of it. I needed to focus. I can't deal with distractions.

"You do believe me right?" Hayley said sitting on the floor.

I nodded and put my guitar down. I grabbed the bag of ices and put it to my eye.

"Hayley I've been thinking.." I said and shook my head.

"Yeah..?" She asked.

I sighed. This is breaking my heart. I can't bring her into my life-threatening problems. She doesn't deserve it.

"Maybe... Maybe we should break this off.. or take a break for a while.." I mumbled.

She looked at me wide eyed, "what?" She gasped, "no taylor please. I'm sorry! I really am I'll do anything to make it up to you." She said.

I shook my head, "I can't do this Hayley. I do forgive you I just.. I can't deal with a girlfriend right now." I sighed on the verge of tears. I think.. I love her.

"Taylor.." She sighed. But soon she nodded and stood up.
"I'll- I guess I'll see you around.." She said then exited my room. I punched my pillow when she walked out.

"So Taylor got any plans this weekend?" Mike asked me.
I shook my head as I looked across the lunch room. Hayley was laughing with Alex and Jack. She was stunning when she smiled. Hell she was stunning when she crying mess but I would much rather he smile.
Hayley had just recently changed her hair to bright blonde with a blue streak in it. She looked beautiful and now the name goldilocks made sense once again. But I didn't call her that anymore...

"No, no I don't why?" I asked. Jaime looked over at me.

"We're having a party. We heard you and you're brother Justin play in a little duet thing right?" Jaime asked. I nodded.
