What if

I feel like I know you

I burnt the book'

Taylor's POV

I wake up and the smell of Lilly's hits me. What the hell. I open my eyes and see that a girl is sleeping next to me. That's not Allie, this girl is a brunette. Memories of last night come back and I realise it's Beth. I get up and put a pillow below her head.

I go into this kitchen and make pancakes and coffee.

I take a sip of my coffee and I see Beth enter the kitchen, looking sleepy.

"Coffee" I offer.

"Thanks" she says taking the coffee. Her voice sounds hoarse from all the crying.

"I made pancakes" I sat putting them on the plate and sliding them towards her. She stops the plate with a finger.

"You didn't have to" she says.

"I know I wanted to" he says.

"What's the time?" She asks.

"7:00am" I tell her.

"Thanks you know for what you did yesterday it meant a lot." She says.

"It's okay"he says.

"My dad is usually not like this I don't know what happened yesterday. " she defends her father. She sits on the stool next to the kitchen table and sips coffee.

"Are you scared to go back?" I ask her gently sitting next to her.

"A little" she says.

"Hmm" I hum.

"You know you're actually really sweet why do you pretend to be rude." She says.

"When people are scared of you they can't hurt you" I say. I learnt this lesson very young.

"So you're scared of getting hurt" she asks tilting her head to the side, curious to know more about this helpful stranger she used to hate yesterday.

"Yeah I guess I am" I say admitting my biggest fear. She just nods her head and eats pancakes.

"Why do you hate me?" I ask.

"I don't you don't like me" she says.

"I like you okay I really do" I say.

"Well I like you too you're really nice" she says smiling.

"Shh don't tell anyone I'm sweet" I say.

"Yes wouldn't want to ruin your reputation" she says smiling. Oh god that smile I wanna kiss her.

"So where are your parents?" She asks. My mood instantly changes. I haven't told anyone about my parents. Everyone thinks they're always on business trips.

"My mom died a few years ago and my fa-father is in jail" I say looking at her.

"Taylor I'm sorry" she says looking at me with concern and love in her eyes. My heart melts immediately. I've never told this to anyone. I feel like I can trust her. I know it sounds funny, I barely know her. But I just do something about her just makes me way to tell her everything.

"My dad was abusive. Once when I was thirteen he got drunk and started hitting my mom. I lost it and I pushed him. He was trying to hit me with a cup but my mom came in the middle" I say as a tear escapes my eye.

I look sideways and she looks at me with concern and sympathy. Her eyes are full of tears too.

I feel like I've known her forever and that I can trust her with anything. I haven't felt like this in a long while.

Beth's POV

Taylor breaks down and I hold him like he did yesterday. I have never seen him like this. No one deserves what happens to him.

He shouldn't have had to gone through that.

I just want to wipe all the sadness from his life. I feel angry towards his dad and sorry towards him. He's really caring and he love his mom a lot. I can tell. He misses her.

"Shh baby" I coo and whisper sweet things in his ears till he stops shaking.
