kiss me ➳ taylor caniff

chapter seven

When I woke up in the morning, I still felt the weight of Nash's arm around me. It was a comforting feeling that I really needed, so I lied my head back down on the pillow and pulled myself closer, shutting my eyes and thinking of ways to get through this weekend.

My thinking was interrupted when my door creaked open.

"Aw!" Cameron cooed. I didn't move, wanting to catch them off guard if they tried something.

"Taylor that could've been you but you fucked up." Carter joked. My heart stopped then started beating rapidly when I heard Taylor's name.

"I know that." Taylor replied flatly.

"Can you guys shut up?" Nash said groggily, the sound of his voice vibrating throughout his chest where my head was resting.

"We came to wake you up and you were gone, we didn't expect you to be here." Matt stated.

"Well someone kinda broke her heart last night so..." Nash said, sitting up and moving me onto the pillow.

"Well wake her up and come to Taylor's room." Aaron said, and I heard the shuffling of feet moving towards the door.

"I doubt she'll want to go there." Nash muttered, but I don't think they heard him because the door shut moments after.

"Tatiana get up we have Magcon." Nash said, shaking me lightly. I acted like I was just waking up even though I had been awake the whole time.

"Okay." I sighed, getting out of bed.

"That was easier than I expected." He chuckled. I took some clothes out of the closet and threw on my white sweater, jeans, and white converse. I freshened my curls from last night and took a deep breath before doing my makeup, hoping that I wouldn't cry it off today.

"They want us to go to Taylor's room.." Nash told me, his hand on the doorknob.

I needed to make it seem like this didn't hurt me.

"Let's go." I replied, walking out of the door and across to Taylor's room. When we walked in, the first person I made eye contact with was Taylor. I shifted my gaze quickly over to Shawn who happened to be near Taylor.

"Hi guys!" I said cheerfully, faking a smile.

"3.." Carter said.

"What?" I asked, looking around at everyone who had a knowing look on their face.

"2..." Cameron said.

"Sorry Tats." Nash said quickly.

"1!" Shawn yelled, and they all ran out of the room, leaving me with Taylor. I knew it would be rude and uncalled for for me to just walk out and leave him there, even if he did deserve it. Two wrongs don't make a right and if I want to fix this, I have to try to talk to him.

"Tatiana.." He said quietly, sitting on the bed that I assumed was his.

"Yes?" I asked, still standing near the entrance from my attempt to follow them out.

"Can you come over here so we can talk like normal people?"

I walked over, sitting on the other bed but facing him.

"I meant it when I said that I called it off because I really care." He began.

"Taylor.." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

"It was a bet that lasted 2 days, Tatiana. I called it off the night I saw Jack kiss you." He said, raising his voice.

"I shouldn't have done it in the first place and I don't know what to do to make you believe me, hell at least I told you before someone else did." He spoke again before I could respond.
