Walking On Broken Glass

Chapter 16

I was woken up by phone. I was annoyed and wanted to launch my phone. I rolled over trying to ignore it. I put my head on Josh's chest and breathed deeply.

"Please answer it or I will break it." Josh groaned as he covered his head with his pillow.
"Ok ok ok. Hello?" I groaned as I sat up.
"You need to get down to the hotel lobby! We need to talk! Now!!" Miranda sounded worried as she spoke. I groaned as I got up and looked for something decent to wear. I settled on my Harley Quinn print dress, a pair of red tights and black flats.
"Where are you going?" Josh groaned as he got up.
"Randa needs me. I'll be at the show tonight." I smiled as I walked over and kissed him.
"You look hot." He smirked at me as I grabbed my purse and left.

I had a lot of thoughts going through my head on the ride down to the elevator. I had no idea what would be wrong that would freak her out so much. I walked off the elevator and smiled when I saw her. She ran up and hugged me me.

"We're going out. We're gonna go talk and shop." She was really excited and dragged me out.
"Randa........what's up?" I laughed as we jumped in a cab and took off.
"I wanted to tell you first. Pierre asked me to marry him!!!!" She squealed as she showed me herring.
"Holy fuck! That's awesome!!!" I hugged her tight as I thought about how happy I was. The fact someone so cool would be related to me. It made me wonder if I would ever be that lucky.
"There's more. I'm pregnant." She smiled at me as I took a moment to process. I had no idea how to process the news. I was happy for Pierre and Miranda, but I felt a little annoyed. She would be taking my cousin away from me. I knew I had to be happy.
"That's amazing! Congrats! How far along are you?" I asked, trying to be happy.
"3 months. I wanted to wait to tell anyone. I haven't even told my parents! I wanted to tell you first. Pierre wanted to be here but he had to be at the venue." She smiled.
"This is so cool. I know you and Pie are gonna be great parents." I said with total sincerity.
"I knew you would be happy! I already know you're going to be in the wedding and you're going to be godmother to the baby." She smiled.
"I'd be honored." I laughed as she got up and hugged me tight.
"This is going to be awesome!! We're going to go pick out a few things and when we get back to Vancouver, we're going to plan the full wedding!" Miranda was going a mile a minuet. She was all about the wedding.

Once we got back to the hotel, I went to my room and flung myself on the bed. I had no real idea what to do or say. I was confused on how fast things would be changing. Pierre and Miranda would get a place of their own. I would have to find a job and a place of my own. I knew it would be hard, but I knew I could do it. I could make my own way. I wanted to be with Josh, but I wanted to make a life of my own. I wanted to work with dogs. I wanted to either groom them or have a little doggy cafe. I knew what would happen. Whether or not Pierre or Miranda wanted to admit it.

I started to make a list of the things I would be able to do once back in Vancouver. I had no idea if any of my ideas would pan out.

I was sketching out an idea for a dog cafe when Welsh and River began to bark. They ran to the door and kept barking as someone knocked at the door.

"Who is it?" I asked, I refused to open the door unless I knew who it was. I had no intention of getting hurt again.
"It's Pierre." He laughed as he answered.
"Oh hang on." I shook my head as I picked up Lyric and pushed River back. I opened the door so Pierre could come in. I sighed as I put Lyric down and went back to my sketch.
"What's up? Randa told me she told you the news." He looked like he was about to burst.
"Yea. I am so happy for you." I smiled as he walked up to me and hugged me.
"Are you sure? You seem out of it. What's wrong Tay?" He asked as he sat across from me.
"I'm ok. I'm just thinking about what I'll do once the tour is done. I think I want to work with dogs. Either a groomer or have a doggy cafe." I sighed as I sketched some more.
"You know I'll help in anyway I can. It's not like you have to leave the apartment. You can stay as long as you need. You know that." Pierre smiled at me.
"You're getting married and having a baby, you need the room. Welsh, River and I can find a place to go and we'll be ok." I said as I kept drawing.

"Taylin, you are my family. I'm not going to put you out. I love you and I would do anything for you." He said, getting up and hugging me. Then he saw my sketch. "Wow......"
"Yea this is my idea for either a dog cafe or a groomers shop." I sighed.
"Let me help?" He smiled, hoping I would let him help me.
"I don't know." I sighed as I thought about the offer.
"Just think about it." He said as he kissed my cheek.

I just nodded as he left my room.

I didn't go to the show that night, I stayed in my room and packed for the ride to the next state in the morning. I knew it would be a tense ride. I didn't have much to say to anyone. I just wanted time alone. Being on tour made that rather hard. I had to make a choice about my life. Would I stay on tour or head back to Canada to start a life of my own?
