Taylor's POV
I woke up to see Jason had left. At first I was kind of worried then I smelt bacon. I got up and went to me and Chloe's room she was sprawled out on her bed looking ,in her own special way, peaceful. I grabbed a T-shirt and put it on as I walked into the kitchen. Jason was flipping bacon and making gravy so he didn't notice me coming in the kitchen. I moved behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist.
He jumped a little and then he stopped and said,"Don't scare me like that!"
I laughed at him and asked, "how'd you sleep?"
"Fine, I guess."
"You guess? What does that mean?"
"Nothing I was just worried about you that's all." I could hear it in his voice he was lying but I didn't pry. I kissed his back and by the way he wasn't wearing a shirt. He turned around and looked at me. I heard the wood floor creak and turned to see Chloe with her phone and noticed she was taking pictures of us. I quickly leaned up and kissed him, "One moment please." I said while turning and running at Chloe tackling her in the middle of the hall. Taking her phone I saw she wasn't taking a picture but a video. She does this a lot she'll wait until we hug or kiss then bring out her phone and take pictures or videos. Seeing my arms wrapped around him and him looking at me seemed empty like it didn't seem right that I was watching it like in a movie. I deleted it and threw her phone at her, "Better luck next time!" I laughed at her expression.
Jason's POV
As Taylor ran after Chloe I turned laughing at the bacon I had burnt. I heard her laughing. I love it when she laughs, she thinks her laugh is ugly but I think it's beautiful just like her. I finished the bacon and turned to see her and Chloe at the dinning table talking about something Taylor obviously didn't like the subject and Chloe found that hilarious.
"Hey do you guys want omelets or just regular eggs?"
"Regular eggs!" says Chloe.
"Omelet." say Taylor.
"Well I can't make an omelet so let me make Chloe's egg then you can come make it ok?" I said. She nodded, used to she'd make a smart remark or call me a jerk for making her do something but she just nodded. We never really talk about what her dad did she always just said that he hurt her and she'll never forgive him and I understand what she means but I never knew how he hurt her. But now that we're gone and she's left that she's almost gotten worse its like he's still hurting her even now but through the images in her mind. When I finished Chloe's egg I brought it to her with bacon biscuits and gravy and a milk because I'm awesome like that. Taylor got up and I took her seat watching her walk to the eggs and crack them. When she cracked the eggs she didn't actually crack them she looked at the eggs for a second then jammed her thumbs into the shell making it crack. When she got the egg out she look satisfied. I looked at Chloe noticing her looking from me to Taylor over and over again.
"Why are you looking at us?" I asked
"No reason." She said shrugging her shoulders. Not wanting to talk I just looked back to Taylor. She came over to the dinning table with a look of accomplishment on her face. At first I didn't know why until I saw her food. It looked like a five star restaurant food. After she finished eating Chloe left to go get some more food to last the week and get some job applications for us. So it was just me and Taylor at home... Alone.
Taylor's POV
When Chloe left I called her as soon as the door closed. It rang twice then she picked up.
"I just left is he already trying to rape you or something?!" She asked.
"No he isn't trying to rape me but I don't know what to do!"
"What do you mean are you planning to have sex??"
"No I don't know never mind just make sure you buy a new stereo." I said annoyed. I turned to see Jason lurking in the doorway of my room. He was looking at me with an expression I've never seen before.
"So why'd you call Chloe?" He asked.
"I was just telling her to get a new stereo, I left mine in my room back at home." I said stuttering at the word home. He took a step closer to me and said, "That isn't your home anymore."
"Then where is my home?" I asked while he walked closer to me slowly.
"I don't know I just know when your with me I feel at home." he was close enough to touch me now. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I got pulled closer to him. I put a hand on his chest. He smiled down at me, "I heard you and it's ok babe I know we haven't been alone together in a while and I know you are scared." he said.
"Babe I love you." I said leaning up to him kissing his lips softly. He picked me up and walked to his bed room. He ended the kiss and lied me down on the bed. He lied next to me and wrapped one of his arms around my waist putting his other arm under my neck kissing my cheek.
"So you'll be 19 in a few weeks huh?" he asked playing with my fingers.
"Yeah I guess so." I said turning to look at him.
"What do you want for your birthday?"
"Nothing, I haven't actually wanted anything since my mom..." I looked down feeling my tears welling up. I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting him to see me cry but that just pushed them out, after the first few tears I couldn't hold in the sobs. He held me and let me cry like he did the other night. Then he reached down and touched my cheek wiping away the tears with his thumb.
"It's ok loss happens and sometimes there's nothing we can do about it ok babe?" He said looking down at me.
"Ok I just wish there was something I could have done." And with that he wrapped me into a hug and held me close. But there was something I could have done...
