kiss me ➳ taylor caniff

chapter eighteen

"ATL SHAWTY!" I yelled into the microphone. The crowd was extremely hyped and it brought a smile to my face.

"Since Taylor hates my guts, let's make him jealous," Gilinsky whispered to me. I glanced over at Taylor who was laughing and having a great time, talking to Dillon about performing their song.

I danced with Jack a little but Taylor didn't pay attention. It made me feel better that I could talk to everyone without worrying that Taylor would be mad, but I missed him.

Jack did some flips and it made the crowd go insane. Matt wrapped his arm over my shoulder as we looked at the audience.

"Taylor's gonna be so jealous," He chuckled.

"He doesn't even care," I sighed.

Mahogany turned on Take You Down and usually, people would freak because Cameron had a dance for this song. But Cameron wasn't with us anymore.

"Here we are all alone, in this room," Matt sang to me, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Ohh," I sang, making us both laugh. I gave him a hug and walked past Taylor, over to Sam.

"Hey there!" He laughed, looking out at the crowd.

"Hey," I said, leaning against a railing and looking off as well.

"You guys all did good," He said.

"I guess we did," I replied with a smile, waving at a fan.

"Tatiana, can we talk?"

I turned to look at Taylor, my heart feeling like it was being ripped out.

"I've given you so many chances, Taylor," I said, looking up at him.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too but-"

"There's a but." He chuckled, folding his arms.

"I don't want to get hurt again, it would be stupid for me to go back to you,"

"We're both stupid, I thought we knew this already," He shrugged.

"We can't work anymore, Taylor,"

"I'm not taking no for an answer."

"You have to," I responded, turning away. He grabbed my waist from behind and pulled me back.

"Tatiana I love you."

I sighed, feeling tears build up.

"Goodnight."

I walked away successfully, walking into my room and shutting the door.

You don't cheat on someone you love.

I didn't want to sleep alone again, but I also don't know who to go to. Nash was gone, as well as Carter and Hayes.

I thought carefully before deciding to text Gilinsky.

I didn't care how bad I looked, he had seen me look worse than this.

"What's up T?"

"Can you um, stay with me tonight?"

"I can't do that,"

I sighed.

"I'm dating Emily," he continued.

"It's fine, Jack, I'll just ask Matt," I replied. Jack walked back to his room and I went down the hall, knocking on Matt's door.

He opened the door, looking like he had been sleeping.
