Taylor's P.O.V

Honestly, Mia is the bestest friend in the entire world. I love her so fucking much. As we got out of the car outside the boys' house, I engulfed her in a hug.
"Thank you so much Mia, honestly I don't know what I did to have you as a bestfriend, I love you so much" I said gratefully, to which she looked at me and said,
"No Taylor, if it wasn't for you, these boys would've probably drove me mental by now" she says laughing,
"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here right now" she says softly looking down. I knew what she was talking about. When Andrew had tried to......

"Thank you" she says looking up before giving me one last hug before we entered the house.

Mia's P.O.V

Honestly, I'm so happy to have Taylor in my life, words can't describe how grateful I am to have her by my side, to have her in my life. We pulled apart from our hug and entered the house.
All the boys were in the living room playing Xbox , except for Zach.
"What's up weirdos?" Tay and I say walking in. I look at all the boys, their eyes glued onto the screen. No response.
"Bitches, we are back!" Taylor shouts. I shake my head and wave my hand in front of Daniel's face, he seems to see right through it.

"fine" I say and I pull the plug out and immediately the screen goes black making the boys groan in frustration.
"Ah ah ah" I say, they give up considering they had been playing for 3 hours.
"Zach is...." Corbyn starts, making me and Taylor wince at his name, "I just wanted to let you know, he's not exactly in the best state, emotionally, um..I know you guys hate his guts, I mean I did too, I-" I cut him off, "did?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows,

"Listen, I've never seen him like this, and I'm scared, I know that wasn't Zach, something came over him, if you could just let him explain, please, it would mean the world to him"'Corbyn continues.
"Why should we?" Taylor asks,
"You'd let Jack explain" Corbyn says, jack turns red, "dude, chill"
"Dude?" Daniel says and shakes his head. I wanna disagree. But for some reason, I can't.

I roll my eyes and grab Taylor's hand and walk upstairs,
"Why are we going to let him explain? After everything he did to us?" Taylor asks while I'm walking to Zach's room.
"Because" I start, then hesitate, "Corbyn was right" I say, "it's not fair to treat the boys unequally"
She looks at me and gives me an understanding look.

Once we are at his door, I can hear soft sobs, wow. I've never seen or heard Zach cry that much. I hesitate and softly knock on the door. It's silent for a while. I knock again, "Zach?" I call, "Look, I know you're in there, I'm willing to let you explain, just come out" I say.
"Taylor's here too" I say hoping for an answer. After a few seconds there's a click and the door opens.

Woah. Just woah.

I didn't know one person could be such an emotional wreck. Heck. I didn't know one person had so much tears in them. He looked as if he had been crying for hours on end. Okay, maybe I feel a little sorry for him. Maybe.
He looks at me with guilt and then looks at Taylor with guilt and....love? No, he broke her heart. He can't possibly believe she'll still love him, will she?
"We are willing to let you explain, mostly on the request of Corbyn" I say, he opens the door wide for us to come in, we take seat in the edge of his bed and he sits at the other end.

"Well, explain" I say.
"Mia" he starts, his voice broken and shattered, "The day I met you, I loved you, but Jack and Daniel were fighting over you, and, I didn't wanna add any more troubles to that situation. I took Taylor as an opportunity to get closer to you" he started, straight off the bat, Taylor and Zach were in tears.
"But slowly, I began falling in love with Taylor, everything about her, Taylor, I did love you, you changed me, I forgot about Mia, everything about you, your smile lighted up my day, your laugh gave me hope. I fell in love with you. I am in love with you. Something came over me at the party, that wasn't me. I love you Taylor. I miss you. I'm sorry Mia, I'm so sorry Taylor. I'm so sorry" he says in tears looking up at Taylor.

"I forgive you" I chime. Wait, I forgive him? My mind is saying no, but, I have to go with my heart. I believe him, I know that wasn't Zach. Sure, he fucked up, but he's only human.
"Thank you so much, I don't know how to make it up to you" he says hugging me.
"You fucked up Zach" I say, "But, you're only human after all" I smile.
"Tay?' I ask, she hasn't spoken this whole time.

"You fucked up big time" she starts, looking right at Zach.
"But, my hearts telling me to forgive you and for some reason, I believe you" she continues.
"Fuck it you're forgiven" she says smiling and he hugs her causing me to smile, "but. It doesn't mean we are back together, I need time" she says and he nods understanding, smiling.
We all go back downstairs smiling and the boys already know what went down. All of them were happy, well, except Daniel.

"Did you really forgive him Mia? Daniel asks beginning to get angry,
"Yes Daniel." I say clearly, I wasn't gonna be intimidated by his anger.
"Wow. Of course you did." He said getting angrier. I furrowed my eyebrows, I was beginning to get angry at this point too.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask, at this point the rest are trying to calm us down. Taylor is trying to control me and Jack is trying to control Daniel.

"It means you probably liked what Zach did to you. Didn't you?" He yells.
I soften, shocked at his words.
"You know what Daniel? Fuck you!" I spit the last two words before storming out of the house.

Oh boy. It's gonna be a long lonely night.
