I quickly changed and put my pants on and a black V-neck. I grabbed my phone then headed to Taylor's door. I knocked nervously.

"Bella, I thought... I thou-"

"Yeah but my friend left me alone,and obviously I've got nothing to do so..." I smiled at him.

"Sure, c'mon! Here, let me help you." He offered, spreading his arm. I nodded and then his arm was around me. I've never been held like that by a guy, and yet, Taylor's touch gives me chills everytime. I wasn't sure if I'm attracted to him or I'm just carried away by the fact that I adored him and he is my idol. But the one thing I'm sure about is that he's not going to like me. I frowned. Taylor seemed to notice my mood. He looked down at me.

Taylor's POV

I held Bella in my arms to support her tiny body. I love spending my time with her. I knew we only met a few days ago but it felt so normal and I feel comfortable being just myself around her. It seemed like we've known each other for a decade. I looked down at her and she frowned.

"What's wrong Bella?" I asked her and she looked down.

"Nothing." she simply said, smiling.

"Okay"

"So, what're you doing?" she asked me. I sat on the floor and grabbed my guitar.

"Just practicing at my mini studio." I smirked. I looked up to her. She's now sitting at the edge of my bed, watching me. I started playing 'In The Mourning'.

"Ohh... it's so good! That's my favorite one!" she smiled as I kept playing.

"How come, it's my favorite too!" I told her.

"Really?" then she started singing.

"You escape like a runaway train. Off the tracks and down again..." She sang, closing her eyes. Her voice gives me chills along, and down my spine. She sounds good, she's amazing. I couldn't help but smile at her. We finished the song and she smiled at me.

"Bella, that was amazing! Your voice is just so good!" She thanked me and gave me a thumbs up. She watched me as I continued to play other songs. She asked questions from time to time. Then, she laid on he edge of my bed, facing me. I gave her a smile and continued to play. A few minutes later, I looked up to her. She just fell asleep. She laid there, with both hands under the side of her face. Her long hair curled around her neck down to her chest. She has a small, slender body, with a not so pale skin tone. She's taller than Hayley, and I guess she's around 5'6" tall. I warched her face for a while, and noticed that she wasn't wearing any make up. Of course, she was beautiful. I glanced at her once again, and surely. I am falling for her.

Bella's POV

I woke up on Taylor's bed. I wasn't on the edge of the bed anymore and I guess Taylor moved me. I looked around.

"Slept well?" Taylor asked from the dark. His low voice made me squirmed a little.

"Where are you? I can't see, it's dark." I told him. I heard him chuckled under his breath.

"I'm right here on the couch Bella." I looked over him, I smiled when I saw his face lighted up from the moon's glow. I squeezed my eyes and got out from his bed. I went and sat beside him, our arms barely touching. He turned the lamp on.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep. I'm too sleepy." I finally said.

"Yes you are." he chuckled."You slept for like, five hours!" he added and he laughed.

"Really? man that's too long! I shoulda slept on my bed! I'm sorry!" I said putting a hand on my forhead.

"It's fine, Bells." he assured me. 'Woah, he called me Bells, that's unusual. He's the first one who called me with that name.

"What?" I asked him. Surprised. He looked at me.

"What?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.

"You called me Bells." I let out a little huff. He looked confused.

"Oh, you don't like to be called Bells?"

"No, actually, I like it. It's just, no one's ever called me with that name." I told him.

"Well, now you've got a new nickname!" he laughed and gave me a congratulations-to-you look.

"Yeah! and I love it! thanks to you!" I teased him. We just sat there, not really caring what time is it. Taylor told me about his family, their upcoming tour, and even his little dog, Bill. Of course, I know his dog! I remembered googling everything about him, stalking him everywhere. And yet, it felt strange right now. Now that I am talking to him, face to face. Now that the person I adore is telling me everything about him that some may not know. Of course, I told him about myself too. I told him how much I love dogs, and bacon, and Twitter, and pizza and everything. I told him how afraid I am of being alone, and being afraid of lizards. As much as I didn't want to talk about my birthday, I told him that I don't like celebrating my birthday. I told him the whole reason anyway. Time to time, he'll laugh at my reaction or my facial expression, which made me distracted. Our conversation settled when I felt my phone vibrated. I took it and saw Chloe's name.

"Hello Bella! Just want to tell u something. I'm sorry I won't be staying there tonight 'cause my mother's sick. :( and I have to look for her. I'll catch up to you next time, I promise. I'm sorry. anys, have a good night! I miss you already! xx." I smiled as I shut my phone off. Chloe is such a babe!

Taylor noticed while I grinned. "it's Chloe, she said she won't be staying tonight." I told him.

"Oh, you're gonna sleep there all by yourself? He asked.

"Yeah... creepy." I whispered. "By the way, what time is it?" I added.

He glanced at his watch. "it's 9:26, are you hungry?"

"Yeah! how 'bout you?"

"I am abso-freakin-lutely hungry!" he stood up, laughing while rubbung his tummy. I laughed at him."I'll be right back, I'll order something." He went to the phone and ordered our dinner. we waited patiently for the food. I smiled at the thought that he waited for me to wake up so that we can eat together. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Taylor took it, then Hayley and Jerm entered with food on their hands. I looked at then, then glanced at Taylor, smiling to me.

"Hey Tay, hey Bella." Hayley squealed as she saw me. She hugged me tightly. "How are you?" she said as we parted.

"I'm fine, and great to see you again!" I told her.

"Spent the whole just with Bella huh, Tay?" Jerm asked. "Nah, kidding dude." he added while Taylor shyly scratched his head. We all laughed at him. We ate dinner together and watched some movies too. Hayley, Taylor and I squeezed on the couch while Jerm laid on the bed. We finished our snack and the movie by 10:44. Hayley and Jeremy bid goodnight to me and to Taylor, giving us a hug.

"Tonight was great! Can't wait to hang with you again! bye beautiful!" Hayley said.

"Bye, Bella! see yah!" Jerm added behind the door. As soon as we were alone, I yawned then told Taylor that I've got to go back to my room. Just as I was to turn the knob, Tayloy grabbed my arm.
