No Other Girl (Midnight Red Fan Fic.)

27 - Decisions

The next morning was a rough one. Since there was an encore and tons of traffic after the concert I got home at 1. I went downstairs to find Julie making breakfast as usual.

"Hey sleepy head!" She took in my appearance. "Whoa. I'm changing your orange juice to coffee."

"Please." I put my head down on the table.

"So how was it?" She asked setting my food and coffee in front of me.

I lifted my head. "It was fun..."

"Sounds like BS to me. What happened?"

I sighed. "Thomas asked me to go on tour with him."

"That's awesome why are you- oh wait. Your brother."

"Exactly!"

"What did you tell Thomas?"

"I just told him I couldn't answer him."

"Was he upset?"

"Really upset. He makes it so hard. They're the two most important guys in my life. I can't just pick."

"Well you have to."

"I'm planning on talking to Taylor today about what happened last night."

"You think that'll help?"

"He might help me come to my senses."

"Well good luck with that. I have a date with Anthony today. We're trying to spend as much time together before the tour."

"You guys are so cute. Have fun."

"Bye." She left the room.

She was such a help.

Taylor and I decided to walk the streets of Hollywood. It was probably the first time I actually did some touring of L.A. so it was cool.

"So Em. What'd you wanna talk about with me?"

"Going home."

"Are you coming?"

"I don't know."

He sighed. "I'm going to be honest Em. Something's about you changed. You're not yourself here. I miss that other side of you. You can't say that you don't miss home."

"I do. Just not the people. It's just I have work out here and-"

"Thomas?"

I'm sure the guilt was written all over my face.

"Emily. C'mon now. I know he's your boyfriend and all but I'm your brother. I'm always going to be there for you."

"Recently you haven't." Shit. Why did I say that?

"Really Em? Okay. I'm done begging." I couldn't stand the look on his face. It showed hatred. Usually he'd be in my position. Feeling guilty and whatnot. Then I'd be the one yelling in his face.

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Sure sounded like that."

"Don't be mad. It's just that Thomas asked me to go on tour with him and I'm confused okay?"

"You shouldn't be." He shot back.

"But I am. How do I know that the same shit isn't going to happen again Taylor?"

"Emily try to understand that I'm doing the best I can okay?"

"I know. And I'm sorry. I just don't know yet."
