"Joe, I saw you having sex with that model at the New Year's party!", Taylor screamed, tears in her eyes. "No, Taylor, you're my only one. I would never do that!", Joe said, approaching her and taking her arm. Taylor pulled her arm away. "Don't touch me!", she yelled. "And it was you! Don't you dare try to gaslight me. I am not stupid!", Taylor said, slamming their bedroom door shut. "Come here, you little", Joe said, anger taking over him.
Taylor sat on the ground and played with Archer, trying to stop the tears from flowing but they wouldn't stop. "Mommy, awe you otay?", the 2-year-old asked his mom, giving her a hug. "Mommy's ok, sweetie", Taylor lied.
Suddenly, Joe bursts through the bedroom door, grabbing Taylor and pushing her up against a wall. "Mommy!", Archer yelled, crying. He got one of his toy blocks and threw it at Joe, but luckily it missed so Joe didn't get mad at Archer. "Archer, you're mom is a lying brat", Joe said bitterly.
Tears fell from Taylor's eyes as she tried to fight Joe back but his strong grasp held her still. "Stop!", Taylor screamed, in pain from being thrown so violently against the wall. "Oh, shut up. I give you nothing but love and support and what do you do? You lie about me cheating and run away from your psychotic episodes. You are going crazy, Tay", Joe said, the anger and hatred making his usually soft blue eyes look evil and it made Taylor terrified.
Joe finally let go, Taylor sprinting to pick up Archer and picking her purse up from her counter. She ran as fast as she could, only in her berks, to the car, not even putting Archer in his car seat because Joe was chasing after her.
The tears still fell, but they were for many reasons. One, he could have seriously hurt her or Archer. And she had been having the self realization that she was in love with an idea of a perfect, loving family and not a person. Joe was once the one she loved, but things changed. Shortly after Archer was born, he had become more violent and the love in his eyes was slowly fading. He also started gas-lighting her into believing that things that had clearly happened were only in her imagination.
"Oh, i'm so sorry baby", Taylor sobbed, clutching Archer, trying to calm him down. Taylor running away from Joe really scared him and all the yelling and Joe getting violent with his mom really shook him up. "Mama", he screamed, clutching her. "I'm here, baby. I won't let anything hurt you", Taylor said, rubbing his back softly.
Taylor decided to stop in a parking lot to put Archer in his car seat. "Bwue sweep?", Archer asked as his mom put him in his car seat. "Weren't you holding it?", Taylor asked, checking the front seat for it. "Oh, there it is", Taylor said, giving it to him as she tightened his harness. "Love you", she said, kissing his head.
"Mom?", Taylor said as her mom picked up the phone. "Is everything ok, honey?", Andrea asked. "No, Joe is getting abusive and I left him. Is it ok if Archer and I go to your house?". "Oh, honey. Come right over. Do you need a ride or anything?", Andrea asked, at once setting up the guest room with a pack n' play for Archer and cleaning it up a bit. "No, I'm in the car on the way right now. We should be there in ten minutes", Taylor said, turning right. "Ok, sweetie. I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?", Andrea asked, concerned for her daughter's safety. "That's a long story. But the good news is Archer wasn't touched", Taylor said. "Ok, sweetie. That's good", Andrea agreed. "I'm going to stay on the call with you until you get here", Andrea said, plopping on the sofa. "Thanks, mom", Taylor said.
And from there Taylor and Archer moved on from abusive Joe and Taylor filed for a restraining order which was passed, so Joe lost child rights and he wasn't allowed within 30 feet of Taylor or Archer.
I was just bored so I came up with a little backstory on Taylor and Archer's story. <33
