Karlie Reblogs It

Chapter 14

Taylor sat beside Karlie's bed. Taylor thought that she shouldn't lie to her.

"Karlie, I'm going to be honest with you." Taylor says. Karlie looks at her slightly nervous as she sees that Taylor is being serious.

"Derek set you and Josh up for a blind date." Karlie gives her a surprised look.

"What? Why?" Karlie's eyebrows furrowed. "Why would I ask him to do that? I'm not even looking for anyone. Am I?"

Taylor's head shakes.

"You weren't. From what I know." She explains.

Just as she replies, someone knocks on the door, seeing Karlie's parents have arrived.

"Karlie!" The tall girl's mom, Stacy, approaches her. As her father follows.

"Are you alright dear? What happened??" Stacy started asking Karlie.

"I'm alright ma. The doctor says that I'll have to stay here for a week to recover." She replies, then looks at Taylor, letting her answer what happened to her.

"Oh-um, according to Derek, they went to have brunch, after that, Karlie was in a hurry to back-." Taylor stuttered, knowing the reason as to why Karlie was in a hurry. "-somewhere, she was about to cross the pedestrian that she didn't notice the van that was beating the red light, hit her.."

Karlie just learned what happened just now. She wondered why was she in a hurry. Then she asks where her sisters are.

"Oh Kimby and Karianne are having their exams this week dear." Stacy says and faces Taylor. "Thank you Taylor dear for being here with my daughter." She says as she hugs the singer.

"Oh!" She hugs Stacy back. "You're welcome."

"Also Derek. Where is he anyway?" Karlie's dad asks.

"He has work to go to. I can stay here since I'm on a break." Taylor says.

As the parent's worries has settled. Stacy sits beside Taylor. "Thank you so much dear.. Not just about this, but also for being there for my baby while she lives here in New York." Stacy presses Taylor's hand.

"It's always a pleasure Stacy.. but Karlie doesn't remember me being her best friend." Taylor says.

Stacy puts a hand to her mouts she hears this. She looks back at Karlie, who's currently talking to her father.

"I'm so sorry dear." She comforts Taylor.

"It's okay. The doctor said that the impact on her brain isn't that serious that later on she'll remember them." Taylor's mother understands it and comforted her. "Well, thankfully that's only what happened. It's going to be okay. Okay Taylor?" She rubs the singer's shoulder while she side hugs her. "I'll pray for her health, and for her memory to get well soon." 

Taylor appreciates having Karlie's mom comfort her in times like this. She's like a mother to her, giving her love as if I'm her child.

Moments later, Taylor's bodyguard arrives with her breakfast and lunch that she requested. After that Karlie's parents just learned that Taylor hasn't left the hospital. They convinced her that she should go home to get some rest, take a bath and all, Karlie also agreed to them because she's worried at how Taylor stayed and took care of her in the past two days. Taylor somehow agreed to them, but she said that she'll get back as soon as she can. She even offered her guest room to Taylor's parents while they're here.

As Taylor prepared her things, she approached Karlie and levels with her. "See you Kar, I'll be back soon. Better get some rest. Okay?" Karlie nods as she looks at those blue eyes.
"Be safe okay? And please take care of yourself. I'll be here waiting." From a worried look, Karlie gives her that genuine smile which makes Taylor smile too. She replies with an assuring smile, and like a reflex Karlie gently pulls Taylor and reaches her to give a peck on the cheek. At the same time the two pauses for a few seconds to process what just happened. Taylor acted quickly by making it not a big deal. She said her goodbyes to Karlie's parents and left the room with her bodyguard.

"She's such a kind girl. Isn't she?" Karlie's dad said. Karlie agrees with him. A small smile forms on her face, and her cheeks started feel warm.  Why did I do that??  Her eyebrows furrowed as she thinks at what she just did and why is she having this feeling that makes her react like this. While along the corridor, there's a singer who is still at shocked at what happened; she tries to absorb and repeats what just happened in her head. Muscle memory I guess.. She thought as a smile forms on her face. 

I can't wait to go back. Taylor thought.

I can't wait for her to get back. Karlie thought.
