Paige's P.O.V.

"So when do you think they will get here?", I pondered, looking at Michael.
" I don't know, they could be here any-"
" Help me, Paige!", Taylor yelled.
" Well she's here.", Michael mumbled.
Taylor walked over to me and sat down, " I don't know what's to do."
I just looked at her thinking of what to say. Not mustering a word I just handed her the remote. I am really bad at helping others with sad situations, it's just awkward. Taylor looked at me and started to play.
"Michael, where here! Oh, your on the couch.", Calum blurted out.
" Thanks captain obvious.", Ashton said with a cute chuckle.
Taylor nudged me and looked down.
" Hey where's Luke?", Michael spoke for the first time in 20 minutes.
" Hey said he was meeting up with one of the girls he has a crush on or something.", Calum responded with a cool, thick Aussie accent.
" oh.", Taylor said almost inaudible.
"What do you want to do?.", I asked.
" We could go to the park?", Ashton spoke softly.
Everyone agreed that we should go and hangout at the park. When we walked outside of Michael's house, we headed down the street. My mind was on the boy next to me , who had some how found out to interlace his fingers with mine. As we arrived at the park, Taylor walked over to the swings and started violently moving her legs back and forth. She let out joyful noises when Calum started pushing her.
" I haven't had this much fun in a long time.", Taylor yelled.
" I am pretty fun,huh." Calum said while running away from the swing hurtling towards him.
Taylor abruptly stopped, jumping up in the air and off the swing, landing swiftly. She ran towards the slides and climbed up the stairs. Taylor ran so fast I think if she were to trip she would hurtle through the plastic slide.
           " We don't normally have this much fun at the park!", Taylor screamed running away from Calum.
          I turned towards Ashton, " What do you think about Taylor?"
         " What do you mean.", he said back in a monotone voice.
         " Do you like her?", I said looking at him.
         " Yeah, of course I mean she's a really positive person and she has a really positive addi-."
         " Would you date her is what I was trying to say?", I cut him off.
         " Um.", he looked down, " yeah actually, I think I would."
        " I knew it.", I whispered to myself.
        We both looked up to see Calum violently  tickling Taylor, she wiggled under him until she rolled off the slide and landed on the bark chips.
         Taylor ran away from him and towards a tree. I swear I'm like her second mom.
" Taylor I don't think that's the safest tree to climb!", I shouted at her.
And when I proceeded to tell the Calum, Ashton, and Michael they shouldn't go, of course they were already there.
"I'm coming up.", Ashton yelled causing Taylor to slip.
As I heard her shriek I realized we were gonna take a trip to the hospital and although my eyes weren't open, I just know that she is accident prone. I opened my eyes slowly to see a star struck Taylor, staring at a dazed Ashton.
" Nice catch.", Taylor said.
Ashton stared at her,
set her down, and kept his large hands on her hips. We all walked over to her to make sure she didn't hit her head on the way down. When we knew she was all good, she wanted to head home and play some games there, because she and I quote "would hate to get hurt". Which we all know is bound to happen.
When we were walking home we decided to play a short game of would you rather. It didn't last long which made Taylor comment she was bored.
" What time is it anyways?", she said .
" Like 4:30, or something.", Ashton screamed from Michaels kitchen.
" Oh. I got to go. Moms gonna be home in any minute.", I said as Ashton walked out of the kitchen.
         " Your mum?!", Taylor looked at me with concern.
        " Awe were rubbing of on her.", Ashton cooed.
        " Shut up.", Taylor said walking out the door with me, " What do we need to do? You were like sick right?"
       " Yeah, let's do this.", I chuckled at myself.
She bolted upstairs and tripped. She whispered something and went into my bathroom. I laid down and waited for Taylor to walk in. And when she did, she put a freezing cold wash cloth on my face.
" I know that I'm supposed to be sick but it doesn't have to be the coldest thing in the world Taylor!", I yelled.
" It has to be realistic and you have to act it out.", she retorted, "Now, I will see you tomorrow at school!"
And with that I laid my head down for some much needed rest.
