Rianne's pov:
Twenty six days left with him. The next day after we woke up, I decided to get a little dressed up. You know those days when you want to look really nice, but there was no special occasion. Okay, that was me on 99% of all days. I hopped in to the shower and shaved my legs. After that, I scrubbed some lemon scented scrub on my legs and stomach. I walked out of the shower feeling really fresh. The bathroom was really foggy and I could barely see. Luckily, I could see that the girls hadn't taken my clothes. I put on my blue and white strapless dress. I blow dried my hair and brushed through it. I decided not to straighten it. I just let it go to my natural waves. The mirror had finally cleared up from the fog and I could see myself to put on some makeup. Nothing much. Just some light pink blush on my cheek bones, mascara and a thin line of eyeliner. Then I finished it off with some bubblegum lip gloss.
I walked outside and found Taylor. He was wearing a new outfit too. He looked really nice in it. I walked over to him and held on to his hand. He smiled at me and kissed my nose.
"Good morning gorgeous." He said.
"Good morning Hun." I said. We started to walk away from the house and towards....basically nowhere. We were just on a small walk. Now truthfully, it had been about a half a week since Grant went to jail and it hadn't been on my mind a lot. There was no point in being stressed about him when I knew I was safe. There was no point in thinking about it. Despite me not thinking about it, I think it hadn't really ever completely left Taylor's mind. He always said that we were "safe and happy", but he sometimes had this look of worry on his face like he wasn't completely satisfied with Grant being in jail. I didn't know how much safer we could be.
Taylor seemed to be worried right now. He was trying to hide it, but as he held my hand, it was sweaty and shaky. I looked at him and he smiled back a fake smile. The thought occurred to me. Was this about Grant or someone else? Another girl? Us leaving soon? He and one of the guys were in a fight? As crazy as it may sound, I hoped it was about Grant.
"Babe?" I looked at him. I noticed our conversation had sort of dropped.
"Yea?" He looked at me and kind of jumped.
"You're acting different." I mean, he was acting different...A Lot. His hand shook some more. I felt my hand shake too.
"I'm fine." He said. Ugh. No. He couldn't say that. Fine nowadays meant "No I'm a wreck. You better ask me how I am." I grabbed Taylor's hand and faced him. I looked at him straight in his eyes.
"No, you're not. Tell me what's going on. You know you're not okay."
"I know Grant is in jail, but this whole thing is still on my mind." He said. I knew it was about him.
"Taylor, you know we're safe. Nothing is going to happen. He won't escape."
Taylor still didn't look satisfied. Now here's the thing. Grant really only had about 10 days left in prison and then he'd be out. I'd have to be in the Bahamas with him for another sixteen days with him which is maybe what scared Taylor. But, I'm positive the police would keep him away from us and move them to another Summer House farther from us. I wasn't worried.
"I know, but it's still all so scary. What if we get hurt?"
"Taylor, we're not going to be hurt. I don't know how to convince you enough."
"YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME. YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF HE CAME. YOU COULD BE HELPLESS."
Taylor's voice was raising at me and it scared me. What was I supposed to do? Honestly, I was starting to get a bit frustrated myself. Seriously, Taylor just scolded me and called me helpless. I didn't need this. I could conquer Grant on my own and I didn't need Taylor telling me I was helpless. I stopped looking in his eyes.
"Don't call me helpless. I'm just trying to make this better, Taylor!"
"Well you're not making this easier, Rianne! You're making it harder and you are only looking at the bright side. This isn't fun and games. This life is crap and you know that!"
Why was Taylor being like this? I was feeling our intertwined fingers loosen from each others. I bit my lip in fear of bursting out in tears. I felt Taylor staring at me, but I refused to look back.
"Taylor, why can't you have some trust in me? All you do is worry and act like I can't do things. Am I not strong enough for you?"
Only one tear rolled down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away, but Taylor still saw. Our hands were completely not touching anymore. I was frozen and couldn't believe this was happening.
Basically, I just wished Taylor would have a little more trust in me. I wished he could understand that I didn't need him telling me I was helpless like I was four years old. I started to walk away from him and he breathed deeply. Was he regretting anything he said? Probably not.
"Don't walk away." was all he said. I didn't know what to say.
"I don't see any reason in staying to argue with you."
I continued to walk and eventually the tears came streaming down my face. Kay saw me and ran to me giving me a hug. I could barely talk over the tears, but I managed to let out the story. Maybe I shouldn't be so mad about Taylor caring too much, but at the same time there has to be some limit. Maybe I'm not saying that right. He should care, but he should have some trust in me. Grant wasn't going to come back and hurt me.
Taylors pov:
When Rianne walked away, I felt like the world was walking away from me. It's like everything you care about just doesn't seem to care about you anymore. It killed me. I partly regretted what I said. My voice raised and I hated seeing the look on her face. She looked scared. Not scared of Grant, but scared of my yelling.
I had trust in her.
Were we done? I didn't want to be. Was this my fault or hers? So many questions swarmed over me and I couldn't seem to answer them. Could she answer them or would they forever be unanswered?
