Mending Broken Wings

Blown Away

After the blow Bryce hit me with I was speachless. I didn't know or could I of said anything more so I walked away. Its been two days and other than a passing hi and a description of how Blaise's day went me and Bryce haven't really talked. Not that he hasn't tried. I'm just not ready yet. The possibility that me and Bryce being together had never crossed my mind. There's just been too much hurt  that has been done. OK, I thought about a couple of times. I was dreaming though, I knew that. I knew that only in a fairytale would we be able to work things out. And I didn't believe in fairy tales anymore. I'm a realist. Life had taught me that. But knowing the possibility was completely taken from me was something altogether. I mean what was the point in finding out that the love of your life pawned away for you? That he still was in love with you? Kind of like a kick in the teeth don't ya think?
Speaking of a kick in the teeth in walks the future Mrs. Bryce East herself. Without knocking like she owns the damn place. Well I guess she will soon.
"Don't you knock?" I ask spitefully as she strolled across the Entryway. Her 3inch heels clacking against the marble floor.
"Well hello to you too Tay."
"Its Taylor to you. Only my friends call me Tay."
"Of course." Char said smiling like her presence brought along sunshine on a dreary day.
"What do you want Carilla Deville?" I asked as I was picking up Blaise's trucks. It was nap time. Thank goodness he wasn't around Satan herself. "And Bryce isn't here"
"I know that silly I just left him." Gut punch. I was getting really good at not visibly flinching those. After a few seconds of looking for a reaction in which she didn't get she smiled and continued " I thought with the upcoming events we needed to have a little chat."
"What upcoming events? And as far as I'm concerned there is absolutely nothing we need to discuss."
"I'm about to become your sons stepmother of course. I'd say we have a lot to talk about" oh shit bucket. As Phillip would say. I never even considered that. She will be Blaise's stepmother once her and Bryce are married.
"What's with the sullen look Tay-lor? You didn't think that just because you Claim your son belongs to Bryce that our plans for the future have detoured. Its just a little stump in the road that is all."
"Whether you marry Bryce or not, let me assure you, and you might want to pay close attention" I said as I got one inch from her face I continue " You. Will.Never.Come.Near.My.Son. And. Live. To. Tell. About. It."
Gasping she says "Are you threatening me?"
"Damn straight. Bitch." I promise
"You can take the trash out of the trailer park but its still just trash. I wish Bryce could see that too "
"What did you just say to me?"
"I said your Trailer park trash."
"Your kidding me right? You know I grew up Nowhere near a trailer park.
"Tomato Tamoto."
"Get out, Get the hell out!"
"I'll leave when we have an understanding Taylor, Bryce is mine. And as soon as these 30 days are over you'll be gone, so stop with your desperate attempts at getting Bryce back. Its not going to work."
"My desperate attempts? I didn't have to lure him into my bed or have my daddy make him sign a contract in order for him to marry me."
Char's face radiating pure rage as she growled "You Bitch" I didn't see her hand coming until it had connected with my cheek. Instincts kicking in I tackle her and we both hit the floor.  Both of us kicking and swinging. I evaded most of Chars punches and kicks. Grabbing a hold of her hair I manage a swift kick to abdomen and climb on top of her where I strategically placed two punches to her nose. For a princess Char was a tough chick. I didn't grow up in a trailer park but I did grow up in a neighborhood of all boys and have been in a couple of scuffles.
On my third swing I was grabbed from behind and in a pair of strong arms.
"Calm down slugger." Phillip said as he held me back. "I can't leave you alone for five minutes"
"She slapped me." I defended
"You attacked me!" Char pointed out while trying to stop the blood oozing from her nose.
"You insulted and slapped me!" I yelled
"Your the definition of trailer trash'" she said whining and holding her nose.
"Call me trailer trash one more time I growled and tried launching at her to no avail. Phillip's hold was strong.
"That's enough Tay" Phillip yelled when tried kicking out at Char. That's when a voice came from behind.
"What the hell is going on here!" Bryce boomed. Shit.
"Seems to me you need to get your women in check." Phillip said sarcastically
Looking back at him dumbfounded "Really? I'm not one of his women Phillip. Stop being a douche." I growled
"I also know you Tay, and there is no way she could've rattled you up this much if you weren't over your head in feelings."
"Your an asshole. Your supposed to be my best friend. Take my side for once jerk"
Narrowing his eyes he replied" I am your best friend that's why I'm here. I don't sugar coat shit Tay and that's why you love me."
"I'm done. " I say waving my arms and walk out of the room. An overbearing Phillip on my heels.

As I get in my room I try shutting the door when of course Phillips hand stops it.
"Just come on in." I say spitefully
"Don't be five. What the heck was all that about?" He asks
"I don't know. She said she was going to be Blaise's step mom and then things just escalated from there." I sigh
"So Bryce knows about Blaise's paternity?" He asks painfully
"I'm sorry. It just felt right. I had all these feelings. He was being nice and I dropped the ball. Damn, I suck at this." I say as I sit on the side of the bed sullenly
Laughing Phillip replies "Relax love I'm not mad. A little disappointed but not mad. I knew you wouldn't make it the whole thirty days. Both of you actually. You made hot monkey love with him didn't you?"
"What? No. Of course not." I deny and chew on my nails.
"Liar. I don't know why you try. You seriously are the worst liar on the planet."
"I am not!"
"You are."
"OK. I am. Shit. I did."
"See told you. Worst liar ever. I hope you used protection this time." He said jokingly
He must've seen all the color drain from my face. Because he was instantly screaming "You didn't? Holy fuck balls Tay! What the fuck were you thinking!?"
"I don't know. I wasn't. Oh my god Phillip. What am I going to do?" I gasp
