"Your drink ma lady," Selena said handing Taylor a nice cold drink as the shorter girl took her place on her respective lounge chair by the pool in the blonde back yard.

"Thanks Sel," Taylor said, taking a sip.

"It's fucking beautiful out," Selena noted pushing her shades back down over her eyes.

"Hum, this is exactly what I needed today."

"So happy you're back in LA. Its been too long."

"Girl I know. This past year has been crazy."

"May I say, you're most epic tour yet," Selena said putting her class out and clinking her glass with the blonde's.

"Aw thanks for saying that," Taylor said with a grin.

"I think it may be because you had me accompany you on stage a couple of times but I don't know..." Selena said with a smirk.

"Oh shut up," Taylor said giving her friend a playful nudge. "Although you are the best to have up there. My partner in crime."

"Speaking of partners in crime, did you ever text that guy back?" Selena asked raising a brow.

Taylor rolled her eyes and sunk back into her lounge chair. "No."

"Taylorrrrr, why not?"

"I don't know," Taylor replied trying to shrug it off.

"Aw common he's hot and from what I hear, really sweet."

"Then you go on a date with him," Taylor said sipping her cold drink.

Selena glared at her friend. "I would but he didn't ask me on a date."

"I'll set you two up then," the blonde said smoothly.

"Ughhh, not the point."

"Then what is?"

"That you haven't been on a date or even seriously talked to someone who may even possibly in the slightest want to go on a date with in like... over a year."
"I just haven't found anyone that I like."

"Is it that you don't like them or is it that they aren't Karlie?"

Taylor tensed at the model's name, it made her heart jump. Still.

"I don't know."

"Wait seriously?" Selena said sitting up a little.

"I told you, I don't know," Taylor said spinning her ring nervously around her finger.

"Do you like... want her back?" Selena asked trying not to push too much.

Taylor sighed and sat up in her chair. "I... sometimes when I'm falling asleep or I'm day dreaming I'll kind of transported mentally to this specific moment the night we broke up" she said pushing her glasses onto the top of her head. She's standing by the window and she's lit by the street so that all I can see is her silhouette. And I can tell she's crying because of the way her shoulders are shaking but I can't hear her because I don't remember what she sounds like anymore, her voice or the sound of her laugh or how she cries. I take a step towards her and reach out a hand," Taylor says her actions mimicking her words now. "But right before I actually touch her I take my hand away and turn into darkness and then I wake up."
