Cause I Can Love You More Than This.

Chapter 14

Taylor's P.O.V.

Lou and I sat in the parking lot until the police came. There were two officers who went in and came out about three minutes later. I was pissed when they came out with nothing.

"Aren't you going to arrest her?" I asked trying not to blow my top. Lou pulled me into his arms to help me not flip out, although he was obviously nearly as pissed as me. "We found nothing in there. No smell, no blood, nothing. She has an aliby that checks out perfectly. We are assuming that your sisters death was the result of a robbery because of Ms. Julin's aliby," the officer said as he got in his car and drove off.

I was so pissed and upset I just didn't know what to do. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry but I wanted to beat the shit out if something.

I gritted my teeth and kicked the side of the car, hard enough to make another dent. I kicked it a few times as I cried and Lou just kept calling my name. "Taylor! Taylor just stop!" he said. I didn't stop until he pulled me away from the car.

He pulled me into his arms and I sobbed. "Do you wanna get a hotel room tonight or go home?" he asked me once I had calmed down. "H-home," I choked out. "Luv, I'm so sorry about Brianna and I'm so sorry that I couldn't keep my promise and I'm sorry that I made you quit in the first place," he said angry at himself.

"L-lou, I-I d-don't th-think you c-could've st-stopped anything. D-don't b-blame yourself," I said with my face in his chest. "TayTay, I know you're right but I am so, so sorry about your sister," he said. I kissed him and the snow began to fall down hard. Like, blizzards and all but like two backroads closed hard.

We hurried into the car and Lou tried to start the car. The car kept stalling. "No no no!" he whispered in a pissed off manner. "Lou it's alright. We can call someone to come pick us up," I said trying to keep him from blowing up. He realized how worried I was seeing him angry and took a moment to calm himself down.

I kissed his cheek and he had relaxed. "I'll try Harry. Maybe he and Ashley can stop flirting long enough to give us a ride," Lou joked. I was able to laugh for a moment until he dialed Harry's number.

He waited for a moment and then hung up agrivated. "Try Ashley. She knows when to answer a phone," I suggested. He nodded and put the phone to his ear. "Lou I need to take a moment to myself," I said. He kissed me and I hopped out and into the snow storm.

As soon as I knew he couldn't hear me, I started balling. I sat on the ground by the dents in our broken car and sobbed into my hands for a minute. I could faintly see Lou getting worried and I forced back the rest of my tears. I got up and hopped back into the car.

"TayTay, I know you were crying. Why didn't you just stay here?"he asked. We both started shivering. We had no form of heat and it was like ten degrees outside.

"I didn't want to interrupt you while you were on the phone. And sometimes I just feel like I would calm down faster on my own, which like never works," I told him shivering. "Don't let what you think affect what you need to do in that kinda situation," he said and pulled me closer. I didn't know if he was pulling me closer for warmth or to make me better.

I rested my head in his chest as the tears poured down my face heavily and fast. It was like an annual rainstorm but down my cheeks. I heard a tap on the window, which was covered in snow, and opened it up.

Harry and Ashley were standing there worried. I hid my tears as Lou and I climbed out of the car. "Taylor, I-I'm so sorry," Ashley said and hugged me as I climbed out of the car. "Thanks," I whispered, trying not to sob yet again. "Lou, Taylor, I'm sorry you guys had to see that," Harry said as he hugged us both. "Thanks," was all I could whisper yet again.
