The room looked unfamiliar even though same sheets were on her bed, her navy blue dream catcher on same place and even her clothes were scattered around her bed, same bed where she used to sleep but it all seems unfamiliar. She couldn't quite how she used to feel about being in this place or her scent which she always used to wear now she is a changed person.


"Sweetie," Maria's voice snapped her out of her thoughts and she stomped past her. "Come on taylor, stop over reacting, you're being dramatic," She said, taylor snorted not believing that she was here, away from her loved one who loved her more than anything else in this world.


"Taylor" Maria kept glaring at her, as taylor ignored her. After few minutes, she called for stephanie who came rushing upstairs panicing.


"Stephanie, I want taylor ready in 1 hour, some guests are coming and if she is not then she will also see consequences of not obeying and you also, is that clear?" Maria warned, stephanie nodded her head.


She slammed the door as she walked out. Stephanie went towards taylor, who was on the balcony looking at the colourful streets but nothing felt same, she didn't feel safe nor she felt calming by even sitting there. She felt trapped, painful and mostly hurt.


"Taylor baby," Stephanie whispered, pulling her close and in a second, taylor clinged to her body embracing her crying on her shoulders finally letting out all the emotions that she is feeling for past 6 hours. All happy moments turning to sadness.


"Shh it's gonna be alright," She whispered, cupping her back as she let her sobbed. She didn't stopped crying. She cried for herself. She cried for her happiness taking away. She cried for stephanie not being there for her but mostly she cried for that certain person who was the start of her new future.


After couple minutes, which felt like hours she calmed down wiping her face with back of her hands. "I'm glad you're okay" Stephanie said. 


"I was always okay stephanie. I was until I came back to this hellhole," She cried. "I was in so much better place," She whispered.


"What do you mean? How you could be okay at some orphange center," Stephanie told her, shock taking over her.


"What?" She asked, "What are you saying? What orphanage center?" She asked. 


"Your mom told me, you were struggling, on drug abuse and at some orphanage center." She said. Taylor couldn't believe it, how could her mom be this cruel? She would cross this much limits just to maintain her status.


"Did you believe that?" She asked stephanie. "I don't wanted to, how could you even be on drug but maybe after going outside, you get into things that you think you'd never be into" Stephanie said.


"You're right, I did get something that I never thought I would and my freaking mom took me away from him." She started to sob again.


"Who is him?" She asked, flashback came in her mind, his smile, his laugh, the way he closes his eyes, the way he kisses her and the way he hold her when they would sleep together. How he would compliement her, how he would stare at her.
