Chapter 8 - Kiss me like you wanna be loved (Part 2)

Taylor's POV

"And the song is just perfect, he's such a talented guy" I said and my mom smiled at me, but with a weird smile. "You like him" my mom said and I felt my face turned red as his soft and beautiful ginger hair. "No.... what makes you think that?" I said hiding my silly smile. That smile that only people in love make. "Because of the way you talked about him and obviously because you're more red than your lipstick" she said laughing at me and I just covered my face with my hands. I love him, that's true, but I don't want to be that obvious. "I want to meet him, he sounds like an amazing guy" I looked at her and nodded. "He's different, I've never met someone like him" my mom looked at me and sigh. "You always say that honey" she finally said. "But... I know he's different, from anyone, and this could be... true love" she just looked at me and nodded. "I hope it's true, but I just don't want to see you broken again" she tried to fake a little smile but failed. "Me too..."

We finished our coffees and headed to the door. Why he didn't came? I didn't told to my mom about him staying with me, the kiss, the lake and that he was going to join us at the cafe. But why he didn't came? Probably he went to another place or.... something happened! Stop worrying Taylor, he's okay.... I hope. I hugged my mom and we said our goodbyes, luckily she's not staying at my house but she will come early for a whole day together. Oh no, I love her but I want to spend time with Ed and also he's staying in my house. She left and I walked to my car, a strange man was sitting there, sleeping I think, in a bench near the cafe and my car. I didn't recognized him because it was too dark now. I passed beside him and looked at the familiar silhouette, I instantly recognized the ginger hair.

"Ed?" he listened to me and stood up. "Hi Taylor" he said putting his hood on. I barely can see those perfect lips, his nose and eyes are covered by the dark of his hood. "Why didn't you came?" I said trying to find his eyes but he looked down so it was more difficult to see him. "Uhm... I was nervous" I gave him a hug, I'm not sure if it's the truth answer. "You didn't had to. My mom doesn't bite" I said trying to make him smile but he faked a laugh, I'm done with that, he's hiding something. I took his arm and we walked to my car. We got in and I turned all the lights on trying to light his face, but he turned at the window, acting like looking at the street or something. Why?! Ok, I'll give him space, probably I'm just exaggerating. We arrived to my house, I opened the door and walked in first, he walked behind me just as he closed the door I tried to face him and look inside his hood. But AGAIN he looked away and passed beside me facing the floor, walking quickly upstairs. I'm trying really hard not to yell and order him to take his hoodie off, he's being impossible.

I followed him to the guest room, slowly so he wouldn't notice me. Finally went he got in front of the door, I took his hood and pulled it off. He got scared and turned around, I gasped as I looked at the bruise and blood in his beautiful face. I stood there shocked and ashamed by what I'm seeing. "Who made you that?" I murmured breathless. He didn't said anything. I put both of my hands on his face and I rubbed his hurts gently one by one. Who dare? Ed is a beautiful guy, how someone can do this? I looked straight into his blue eyes that now are full of pain, pain that hurts me too. After a while I managed to speak again "Come here" I took his hand as I lead him to my room. I sat him on my bed and got into my bathroom, I took the first aid bag and searched for everything I have for cuts and bruises. I wish I had powers to heal him now.

Ed's POV

Taylor got into the bathroom. I can't tell her what happened, she will worry or start blaming herself, I can't let her do that.

After a few minutes she got out of the bathroom with lots of things. I looked at her and tried to smile because I know she can't stand when someone is in pain. My smile failed because my face hurts a lot, wow, Harry has a good wrist. I admit it.
