Austin POV
"I have a surprise." I tell everyone. "First pass these along. They have your names on it. But don't open them."
We were in a IHOP eating at midnight.
"How would you feel if we were to fly somewhere else for the rest of spring break?"
"Where?" Bailee asks.
"Open your envelopes." I say.
"We're going to the Bahamas to the Atlantis resort! OMG I love you." Bailee shouts.
I look at Taylor and see her eyes wide with surprise.
"I don't know what to say." Taylor admits, smiling at me. "Thank you."
Taylor POV
Inside I was freaking out. This wasn't a part of the plan at all. I was suppose to have broken his heart by Friday, not goto the Bahamas with him where god knows what would happen.
I needed my mom here. Or at least someone who would help me.
Bailee had declared earlier that she was done with everything Austin revenge and not to come to her with my next scheme or asking for any ideas.
I sip my water and avoid Austin's gaze.
What had I gotten myself into? This revenge scheme was failing horribly and I had to do something fast.
An idea forms in my head and I get excited. This was perfect.
"It's getting late guys and I'm tired. Can we go back to our hotel?" Tyler asks.
"I agree. What do you say we catch a cab together?" I say, looking at Tyler. "I'll pay the fare."
Tyler smiles then nods. "Alright. You guys are cool if we go right? I'd stay and chat but my eyes are getting heavier and heavier and I don't want to crash in a public place."
Everyone says that it's cool before saying that they'd be there shortly.
I walk with Tyler outside and wait for a cab to drive by. "Your sure you know how to get a cab?"
"I lived here for three years and two of those I couldn't drive so it was bus, cab, bike or walk."
"Oh. So you and Austin huh? Are you a thing now?"
I shake my head. "It's barely been a week since I dumped Drew. I haven't moved on that fast." I say. That was the standard answer I was telling everyone that asked.
Was I a thing with Austin? We're we together? What were we? Friends? Friends with benefits? Boyfriend and girlfriend?
All this thinking was driving me crazy.
I hail down a cab and get in.
"Tyler, I'm not going with you guys to the Bahamas. It's a great idea for spring break but when you guys get on that plane, I'll be on a plane heading home. Don't tell anyone yet because I haven't decided how I'm going to break it to them yet." I say, turning to face him. "After everything that has happened, I can't just forget what Austin did to me in middle school. He really hurt me and it fucking kills me knowing that beside all that I still love him. And I need some space and if I goto the Bahamas, I don't know what I'll do and therefore I'm not going."
"If it helps any, Austin use to be the biggest doushe to you and I'm amazed you've even forgiven him enough to come here. I won't tell anyone I promise. Your secret is safe with me."
I smile. "Thanks Ty. If you haven't noticed, Bailee and I aren't exactly on the best of terms right now. She's mad at me and after tomorrow, I doubt she'll even want to talk to me. It feels good to get this out in the open ya know?" I yawn. "I'm about to pass out."
After that everything became a blur,
I don't remember paying the cab, getting to our hotel, packing everything up and then passing out. I don't remember Bailee coming into the room at all or the guys coming home but I do know that was the worst sleep I had ever gotten in my life. And I guess it was a sign that everything was about to turn to crap.
I awoke to the sound of shouting and not just any shouting, it was Tyler and Austin.
"You have no idea what your talking about!" I hear Austin shout.
"Your an asshole you know that? You think that after everything you put her through she'll magically forgive you and have a relationship with you but you'd have to be fucking stupid to think that. If you think that being some upcoming artist that's the next JB will get her, your dead wrong. Taylor isn't like that."
And here was when I made my first mistake. I went out there.
Tyler spots me and takes a step towards me. "Tell him! Tell him what you told me in the cab!"
"Tell me what?" Austin asks. "Taylor what is he talking about?"
I play with my pajama pants string and sigh. Crap.
"Austin lets talk outside. Tyler, goto sleep. You'll be needing it."
I walk out behind Austin and shut the door behind us.
"Austin, I'm sorry. Okay? I'm not going to the Bahamas with you guys. I'm flattered that you invited me here and to go there but I can't take it. I don't think it'd be best if I did." I start but he interrupts me.
"I know that I was asshole to you and I'm sorry. But I love you and I'm not letting you go. What about yesterday? Did that not mean anything to you? Because it sure meant something to me. I know I messed up in the past but you can't look past that and see that I've changed for the better? I promise you Taylor, if you come with me I won't have you forgot it."
"This week has been amazing okay? It's been the best spring break I've ever had but not because of you. Half the time all we ever do is fight and argue. We aren't even dating and we fight like married couples. You might think I'm the girl for you Austin but I can assure you that I'm not. You deserve a woman who is just like you. Like Riley or Lindy." That was low, I know. "I'm flying back home today and you can't stop me. Even if you tried, I'd still go. You think that I forgave you but I never did. I've been lying to you. I love you as a friend and nothing more. The only reason I came here was to get revenge. First off, I had to make you think I was interested, second I had to get you hooked. Thirdly, I had to reel you in like a fish. And you fell for it, every single thing I did, you thought that I had dumped Drew for you. New flash, we haven't even been broken up for a week and you think you can step in and play Romeo and swoop me off my feet. Fairytales aren't real Austin and neither was this."
A look of hurt flashes across his face and I look down. This was killing me.
"I forgive you Taylor. For everything. I deserved it. But you can't stand here and tell me that yesterday meant nothing to you."
"Who cares about yesterday?" I shriek. "We had sex okay? That meant nothing. It was all an act. Why can't you see that?" I shout.
