Shaun's POV:

Something doesn't seem right here. The way Julian is acting...he turned stiff when I mentioned what we just found out. I think Taylor realized it too because she suddenly pushed him off.

"You know something don't you!" I'm surprised she didn't raise her voice even louder. The way Julian tried to shrug it off...he does know something. I looked towards Taylor's face for a reaction while Steve comes out of nowhere.

They both know what's going on? Are you kidding me? I'm pretty sure how I felt was seen in Taylor. It was clear that she was pissed off and upset, but when I looked closer I could tell she was a bit disappointed to have to find out the way she did.

I've never seen her so angry before, not even with Kane. The sad part is I think most of that anger is just her upset and disappointment and probably a few other things as well.

It really wasn't my place to even be here, I mean I know Taylor yeah but I haven't known her for as long as I wish. Before I could even think more on that, Taylor suddenly stormed out. Woah what!?

"TAYLOR!" I called after her and ran to catch up with her as she practically flew out the door. I tried grabbing her arm but it didn't work. She just shrugged me off and kept walking. "Taylor! Damn it!"

I tried to get Taylor but she just kept walking until she got into the car and she instantly drove off. Damn it, she's not thinking clearly! She could get hurt!

"Shaun forget it, let her be." If the man who was behind me and just said that didn't know how to kill or seriously hurt me 101 ways, I would turn around and punch him in the face which isn't like me. I turned around and looked at him.

"You better damn hope nothing happens to her," I growled out to him before calling people up to get them over here. Our friends need to know or they will flip out when they try to get ahold of Taylor and they might set her off without meaning to. I didn't tell them over the phone though, I just told them to meet me here at the gym.

When I looked over to the adults they all seemed ashamed except for Julian who looked as pissed off as I feel. "Inside now." Steve narrowed his eyes at me and was about to say something when I cut him off. "I don't give a single damn. You hurt Taylor. Now get the hell inside and we are closing the gym whether you want to or not."

"I'll clear it out." Julian instantly said as he and Virginia went back inside while I stared at Steve who met my eyes dead on. With a bit hesitation, he finally went back inside.

I took a moment to breathe and keep calm before heading inside. Steve was pacing as he was thinking, Julian was standing against the wall and Virginia was sitting down. Honestly, what should I do?

"This your fault Jules. We should never have told her!" Steve suddenly yelled at Julian making Julian straighten up and take a step off the wall.

"Are you kidding me?!" Shit. Didn't mean to say that out loud but I've started it and I will end it. Steve whipped around to me.

"You shouldn't even be here. You have no right to even get involved in this matter." I felt my hands form into fists as I glared at Steve.

"I'm here because Taylor needed a friend."

"And that's all you are to her, a friend." My eyes widen at that statement and it hurt, but my anger took care of the hurt real quick.

"That's right, I'm her friend. I'm here right now because she needed me so I was there and I'm here now. You're her coach! You were like a father to her from the very beginning. So where the hell were you when she needed someone because her parents are having issues? Where were you when she just wanted to know the truth!?"
