Holding On

Chapter 34

Eleanor Roosevelt once said Do one thing every day that scares you.

Taylor's P.O.V.

"Yea, I've got it covered" I almost yelling at his office

I sat on the small desk they had and exhaled. It's been half a day and all I've been doing is running around doing this and that for them, well for everyone really. I began typing in the computer when I heard a voice behind me

"So how did you get to work this morning?"

I stopped typing and softly chuckled to myself quietly. I slowly turned around "Cab. Since I don't have my car at the moment"

He chuckled and slightly smiled "I was hoping I could talk to you for a couple minutes"

I looked around and thank goodness not many people were watching, well not the important people "Yea, sure" I said looking back at him. I walked passed him and began walking to the coffee room. I smiled to myself. What he said to me was the same thing he asked when we first met. I walked in and luckily there wasn't anyone there. He walked in after me and I turned around

"So how's your first day of work?"

I intertwined my hands in front of me "Good, it's different here"

"Yea. It's a nice place"

I walked out to the window and peeked out. I was in the third floor of a 6 floor building "So what are you doing here Antonio?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were moving here?"

I turned back to him but stayed near the window "I didn't really have a chance. Plus we're not together anymore" I flat out said with a small shrug

Antonio sighed "I know. But we're still friends. And friends tell each other where they're going. Especially if they're moving out of state"

God I hated that word between us; friends. I looked down for a second  "I know, I'm sorry"

He nodded slowly and took a couple steps towards me "Taylor, look. I never thought you could ever be a fugitive. Because I never believed you could be capable of that. But I understand why you didn't tell me, that was expunged. Meaning it didn't exists anymore. For nobody to find out" He was moving closer to me as he spoke

Okay, where is this going? I thought

"I was just upset at the time. I didn't think anything through. But thanks to your brother he helped knock some sense into me"

Jay always gets involved in my love life, I thought "Yea" I softly said

"I'm sorry, for everything that's happened. Especially for anything I've said that I know I shouldn't have"

"Like what?"

He finally stood in front of me and brushed his hand on mine. That sent chills all the way down my spine

"Like saying this wasn't meant to work out. I was wrong"

We looked at each other and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I could tell by the look in his eyes he was sorry
