Out Of Bounds

Breaking the Rules

Isabelle’s POV

As the night went on the reality of Taylors words started to sink in…I became less mad at her and more mad at myself. Yes, Taylor can be downright blunt, but that’s just T, that’s how she has always been…I think it comes with the territory of knowing exactly what you want out of life by the age of six. She knows what she wants and she doesn’t care about the sacrifices she has to make to get there. She doesn’t care what people think and that’s what I love about her…what I hate is that she is right. We arent supposed to date…If Chris found out I was dating it would be bad….VERY bad… so any relationship I hope to have with Nick is going to have to be secret…on top of that he leaves in two weeks. He will be back in LA at the end of his tour but that is months from now…so am I really wanting to start a long distance relationship and is it fair to lead Nick to believe it could be more than that? Even after tour…I'm still here In LA and he is in Jersey and with me scaled to go to the Olympics…its only going to get worse. The problem is…after meeting Nick, I'm starting to doubt if this is what I really want

*Izzy sits at the table grabbing a peanut butter sandwich for dinner, T walks over with the jar of peanut butter and a spoon and sits down*

(Taylor) I'm sorry I powdered you…

(Isabelle) I deserved it

(Taylor) yea, you did…still

*Iz holds out her knuckles, T quickly bumps and they both smile*

(Isabelle) What you said…about me and Nick

(Taylor) I'm not apologizing…you know I'm right

(Isabelle) I know…

(Taylor) so are you going to break it off with Nick or what?

(Isabelle) No…

*T shakes her head and takes a bite of peanut butter*

(Isabelle) You know Chris is going to ream you when he catches you eating that out of the jar…

(Taylor) I didn’t want to feel all carby…I just want the peanut butter

(Isabelle) hey I hear ya, I'm just sayin…

(Taylor) He will get over it…back to the Nick Jonas situation at hand…

(Isabelle) I really like him T…A LOT… and I'm just not ready to give up on the idea of a relationship with him just because it would be hard, can you understand that?

(Taylor) yea, but let me put it into perspective for you a bit Iz. You realize he will be on the road for months around hundreds…THOUSANDS of girls all wanting him and the only communication you will have is through texting and calls and internet after practice…which will more than likely be about the time he is going on stage every night and to top it off C can't know about it

(Isabelle) *sighs* why must you bitchslap me with your logic

(Taylor) because I love you *smiles*

(Isabelle) I love you too….ugh…

*T leans over and gives Iz a hug before taking another bite of peanut butter*

(Taylor) so look….if you want to keep up this secret long distance dating a rockstar thing I wont badger you about it…BUT I'm not goin down on that ship with you if C finds out…

(Isabelle) *smiles* deal

*C walks in*

(Coach Chris) Good, looks like you two have made up….Taylor…are you eating that peanut butter out of the jar?

(Taylor) uh, no?

*C crosses his arms across his chest*

(Taylor) ugh…ok fine…yes…I didn’t want bread

(Coach Chris) so you just decide to eat it from the jar?

(Taylor) it seemed like the logical choice, yes

(Coach Chris) and what if one of the other girls wants a sandwich?

(Taylor) well then they can bring their bread over here and I'll make sure they get one *smiles*

*C sighs and walks over to T and grabs the Jar of peanut butter*

(Taylor) hey…

*Iz snickers*

*C walks out of the café to his office*

(Taylor) what…hey….where…he took my spoon!

*Iz snickers again*

*C walks back in and sets the jar in front of T again in bold sharpee across the label he has written TAYLOR*

(Coach Chris) Yours now…have at it, rebel *walks over and grabs a new jar of peanut butter out of the cabinet*

(Taylor) see, now I'm not breaking the rules….its not nearly as fun…you ruined it for me

(Coach Chris) well then *dusting off hands dramatically* my work here is done *smirks*

*C walks out of the café and Iz giggles*

(Isabelle) I love watching you two have conversations, it's like cable…only better

(Taylor) yea well we now return you to your regularly scheduled conversation….

(Isabelle) Ha…wait…..what were we talking about?

(Taylor) you and Nick…..

(Isabelle) he kissed me today *blushed smile*

(Taylor) *smiles* you were so cute just now…you really like him…

(Isabelle) mmmhmmm

(Taylor) I say…as long as he can handle dating our schedule and as long as C doesn’t find out…have fun.
