Broken

What now?

Taylor's POV
As everyone finished eating I went around the table and collected everyone's plates. Nash got out of his chair and began to help me. I looked at him and he smiled at me, I couldn't help but turn red. I walked into the kitchen with Nash following. He sat the food that was left over on the stove and grabbed my arm gently.

Nash's POV
I helped Taylor with all of the food and dishes as my mom and her dad continued their conversation. The thing I didn't understand was Taylor started cleaning up after us after her dad gave her a scary look. Is she scared of her dad? I looked up and she was already looking at me I smiled and continued to help her. We walked into the kitchen and I sat everything that was in my hands on the stove. I grabbed her arm and she turned towards me.
"Thanks for helping" I said to her as she looked up at me.
"No need to thank me.... Its the least I can do..." She looked down at her feet. I gently pushed her head up and kissed her lips. She kissed me back and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her lips are so soft, and she is so beautiful. Why did I ruin us? What was wrong with me? All of a sudden my mom waled in and giggled. Taylor and I separated and I put my head down and rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment. I looked up and Taylor's face was red. The three of us all laughed. My mom went out of the kitchen and Taylor and I stared at each other. She looked down at her feet again as we stood in silence.
"Wow" I said with a smile on my face
"Wow what?" Taylor asked as I grabbed her hand.
"You are amazing, and I feel so stupid for hurting you. I'm sorry." Taylor looked at me with a tear rolling down her cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb and I kissed her fore head and pulled her into a hug. She started crying into my shirt. Taylor pulled away and looked up at me.
"Its fine. You weren't the only one that hurt me." I looked at her in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"After my mom left us my dad became abusive. He put me in the hospital. You don't remember that?" All of a sudden I remembered. Taylor missed the last week of school in freshmen year because she was in the hospital. I don't know what happened I just know that when I heard the sirens I looked out the window and Taylor was on a stretcher.
"What happened that night?" I asked and she looked sad again.
I don't want to talk about it right now... Can we talk about it another time?"
"Yes we can. How about over dinner next Saturday?" I asked with a grin. She nodded and we hugged.
As we pulled away from each other Taylor's dad walked. Taylor frowned.
"We need to go I have late shift tonight." As Taylor walked away I crapped her hand and pulled her back to me and I kissed her. She smiled and walked to her dad. I looked at a her dad and he gave me an angry look. I smiled at him and he walked away.
