Taylor's POV

I returned home, finding Veronica's car parked in front of it. I heaved a sigh, not wanting to pass by her, knowing she was in the car. I had no other option if I wanted to go inside.

I entered the house, finding rose pedals leading to my room. I followed them, confused, until I found Veronica in my room, lying on my bed.

"What the hell, Veronica?" I groaned, feeling nausea return. My stomach began to twist into knots again. "How the hell did you get in? You don't have the key--"

"Taylor, I want you," she interrupted.

"Wait, wha--" Before I could finish my sentence, Veronica pressed her lips against mine, hard. I pushed her away, sickened.

"I want you," she repeated, her ordinary eyes full of lust. I shook my head, trying to escape from Veronica. She wouldn't let me out of her reach.

"Veronica, I'm tired--"

"I. Want. You," she repeated, her voice a little more stern. She was such a brat. "I want you now." She started to work at my jeans as she forced me into another kiss.

"Veronica, no!" I scolded, shoving her away.

"Fine," she huffed. "How about 'I need you'?" I had no way out of her desire. She continued at my jeans; I only did it to make her shut up, so she wouldn't whine about it anymore. Every moment was sickening. Every sigh and giggle I heard that escaped from Veronica, I wished for them to be Hayley's. I wish I was with Hayley.

Veronica was on top of me; I began to feel sick again.

"Veronica, get up," I said, feeling bile rise in my throat.

"Why? What's wrong?" she asked.

"Just get up," I demanded. She did and I quickly ran to the bathroom where my stomach heaved.

"Taylor? Honey, are you okay?" Veronica called from the room. I wasn't. Guilt was eating me away. I didn't respond to Veronica's question. I only shut the door as I leaned against the wall as I sat on the floor. I only wanted Hayley. I only needed Hayley.
