Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 16

*one week later*

Bree's p.o.v.

So my birthday is in 2 weeks((July 8th~ a/n: not my really birthday in real life)) and I can't wait. I already have my permit so I can take my drivers test soon. Hayes and I are supposed to go and take the test together.

Carter and Taylor are going through a pretty rough time. A REALLY old video of Carter and his ex got leaked but Taylor thinks he was cheating. I know it's not true but they are both my best friends so I can't pick sides. They haven't broken up yet but there is a lot of arguing going on.

Taylor's p.o.v.

"Carter you said you loved me! But you go and do this crap?!" I yelled.

"Taylor I didn't do anything. This is an old video from a long time ago, when Maggie and I were dating!" Carter yelled back.

"Why the fuck did you record it though?!" I yelled at him.

"Idk. And I shouldn't have. I should've deleted it, I know. And I'm sorry. But I didn't mean for it to get leaked." He said in his normal voice.

"Well you're stupid for recording it!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry! But instead of brining me down and telling me things I already know you should be comforting me, helping me through all the hate and death threats and people hoping I go to jail!" He said.

"Honestly, I don't support the death threats or jail thing, but all the hate you're getting, you deserve. But I'm done." I said.

"You're done? Done what? Are you breaking up with me? For what?!" He asked.

"Idk if I'm breaking up with you. I just know I need to get away from you and all of this." I said.

"Taylor." He said quietly, almost crying.

"I'm sorry Carter. I just can't deal with this. We are taking a break. We aren't breaking up, but we aren't together. I'm sorry. I thought that you loved me, but guess not." I said.

"Taylor, I love you so much. I don't want to lose you." Carter was crying now.

"Obviously not enough if you cheated on me. And you haven't lost me, at least not yet." I said looking down.

"I didn't cheat on you!" He said raising his voice a little and still crying.

"Carter leave. Get out of my house." I said. Tears rolled down his face as he slowly left my room, and my house.

Carter's p.o.v.

I left Taylor's house and sat in my car bawling. I dial Bree's number.

*The Phone Call*

B: Hello?
C: Bree!
B: Hey Carter, what's up? How'd it go with Taylor?
C: Not good. She said she needs a break from me. So we are taking a break. We are dating but we aren't dating.
B: What happened?
C: She thinks I cheated on her!
B: You didn't though.
C: Bree I know!
B: I'm sorry Carter. But she will forgive you soon.
C: I don't know Bree. She loved me a lot. And I don't know if she will love me as much as I love her anymore.
B: She's calling on the other line.
C: Answer it. I'll stay on this line.
---------
B: Hey Taylor.
T: Bree is Carter cheating on me?
B: No. He would never do that to you.
T: How do you know? Did he tell you to say that?
B: No Taylor. He's my best friend. And so are you. I know both of you better than anyone. And he tells me everything. Maggie is his ex and I'm pretty sure she hates him.
T: If that's true then I think I just ruined everything.
B: How?
T: I told him we were taking a break. Then I told him to get out my house.
B: Did he leave?
T: Yes. But he's sitting in his car outside my house.
B: Then go talk to him. Take him back!
T: Okay bye! Talk to you later.
---------
B: Carter we have to hang up. Taylor is on her way downstairs.
C: Bree you forget Taylor is in a wheelchair. It'll take her like 20 minutes to get out here.
B: Wait. Is her parents home? She needs help down the stairs.
C: Yeah they are.
B: Okay well. Just act like I didn't tell you about this. Bye.
C: See ya.
