The Woods {Kaylor}

Rosemary.

Taylor's pov:

I wake up by the grumbling of thunder and the pattering of the rain against the window. I notice I'm in bed but feel confused. I don't remember falling asleep. A soft moan makes me turn my head, although I wish I hadn't. I notice her bare back being exposed to the air. My eyes go wide and I glance down at myself, realizing that I also, am naked. Oh my god. Did we have sex? What's going to happen? Oh my god what is Karlie going to say? Wait she doesn't have to know. No yes she does. You know how the movies go. They don't tell their partners and their relationship ends up falling apart. I contemplate this as I scramble around and gather my clothes to put them back on quickly.

"Taylor?" Ruby sits up, not bothering to cover her chest

I turn my gaze away from her "Why did we have sex? I told you I don't love you and I meant it" My eyes fall onto the white teacup I don't remember drinking out of

"Well obviously you're wrong. You do love me. You're just too ignorant to notice"

I grab the teacup and hold it up to my nose. A certain stench makes my nostrils sting and I pull away "Did I drink this?" I ask as I finally look at her

"Uhm.." She hesitates "Yes. You did" she bites her lip

Then I notice it. The small herb at the bottom of the cup, sitting there carelessly, not knowing it may have just ruined my only relationship I'll ever have. Anger comes over me as I clutch the teacup more firmly

"Rosemary" I state in a low voice

"What?" She asks

I face her "You poisoned me..with Rosemary" I now squeeze the cup as hard as I can, the palm of my hands turning white, it hurts my fingers but I ignore the pain for now

"It's not poison Taylor. It's more like a potion. Rosemary makes a person show their true feelings" she smirks

I shake my head "No Ruby. Rosemary makes a person vulnerable, vulnerable to any emotion of the sources choice, love being number one. It shuts off a humans brain and puts them in a trance" I state in a firm, low voice "I hate you Ruby. I will never love you. You can't accept the fact that I'm with Karlie. I love her, and her only" I drop the cup making it shatter into pieces on the wooden floor

"Taylor stop. You're having a side effect of the Rose-"

"No I'm not!" I yell loudly. I put my hands on my head as excruciating pain runs throughout it "Dammit" I clench my teeth as a powerful migraine erupts in my head

"Taylor just calm down" She crawls off of the bed and rushes to me "Becoming calm is the only way-"

"Don't touch me!" I shove her hands and body away from me

She looks terrified as she backs away

"I want Karlie!" I yell as I stare into her eyes "I want Karlie" I repeat as I slide down the wall, my clothed back scraping against it. I pull at my hair slightly as I begin to sob "I just want Karlie" I pull my knees to my chest.

For a moment, all that is heard is my cries

"I'm so sorry Taylor." Ruby apologizes in a soft voice and slips on a t-shirt before leaving the room

I'm left alone.
