(Andrea and Scott are still married, Austin is older than Taylor in this and their not famous, they also live in KC)
Taylors POV
"Taylor, sweetheart. Put your phone down, I don't want it anywhere near the pool. Phones are expensive and I know how clumsy you are." My mom shouts from her spot on the deck.
"Yeah sorry mom." I say and get out of the pool so I can respond properly to the text I got.
T, go change.
Why? Don't like my bikini,
I picked it out just for you.
Fuck Tay, my friends are here.
Go pick out a different swimsuit.
But I want to wear this one. It's
My body.
Your ass is hanging out. Change.
No.
No?
I'm gonna do what I want. It's
not like you'll say it to my face
since you seem ashamed to be
dating me.
Taylor I'm not ashamed of you.
Really Travis? Cause it doesn't
seem like it. If you were proud to be
with me then you would be out here
swimming with me instead of in their
playing stupid games with Austin.
Baby he's my best friend. If he
found out what we're doing then
he would never talk to me again.
And how do you know that?
I'm not changing. Goodbye.
You can't just say goodbye to end
this Conversation.
Taylor.
Tay?
I throw my phone down, tucking a towel over it so it doesn't overheat in the dry Kansas City heat.
A couple months ago I got drunk at a party and Travis was there and he helped me home. Apparently I confessed that I was like in love with him since we were kids but I don't remember it.
Him and Austin have been friends since before I was even born. So Travis was always over at our house. Being the stupid little girl I was, I formed a crush on him. I never thought anything would happen because he's Austin's best friend and basically like a second older brother to me but now we're dating.
It doesn't feel like an actual relationship where the two people just click and want to be around each other all the time. I mean, we clicked for sure but we'd never gone on a public date since he was so scared of someone he knows seeing us and telling my brother.
At first I was okay with it since I understood. Austin was pretty protective over me and any boy I had ever liked was run off by him so I didn't blame Travis for being a little scared.
But now it's just exhausting, I never get to see him unless Austin is out of the house and I can't ever text or call him during the day, just in case he's with Austin and then he sees and wonders why his little sister is trying to reach his friend. I just want to be able to openly be with him.
"Come on Tay! Waters calling your name!" My friends yell from the pool. I smile as all negative thoughts leave my mind. I stand up and run to the edge of the pool, trying my best not to slip, then jumping in and causing the biggest splash I could make.
