Back to present.

Taylor's POV

"Why does it feel like a bad idea now?" I asked Selena as I looked into the mirror in front of me in my room. Hoping she would let me stay home like yesterday but today isn't yesterday. Yesterday she was feeling too bad to make me go but today she was in one of her those mood, 'running away from problem isn't going to help'. So here, I was getting ready for work since I couldn't leave the job according to that dumb contract I made with the company. At that time, the contract seemed like an amazing opportunity since I was so sure I might get kicked out in my first month. Selena was helping me get ready, She was doing my make up to hide my light dark circles that formed after I couldn't sleep last night. "Because you are coward." Selena replied simply and I slapped her hand away when she went to put concealer under my eyes and gave her a look of disbelief.

"What? You didn't expect me to sugarcoat? Did you?" Selena asked and I rolled my eyes dramatically at her while she gave out a laugh and going back to applying concealer under my eyes. "Well I was expecting that you would let me go and we can go shopping?" I asked giving her a stupid smile which she didn't returned and looked at me with a monotone face. "Sure. Let's go." She said in a monotone and I looked at her,greatful. "Thanks!" I started getting up and she slapped me across my face and I yelped. "Shit! Taylor I didn't meant to hit too hard! Are you okay?" Selena asked panicked and I rubbed my cheek soothing the sting. Bitch have quit hard hand as soft as they look, they sure do hit hard.

"I will be if you let me stay home." I muttered bitterly and was met with a slap on my arm not too hard this time but still hard enough to hurt. "Ow...Selena!" I yelled her name annoyingly giving her a glare and she just shrugged at me before going back to applying the concealer under my other eye this time. "Well them stop saying things that make me want to knock some sense into you." Selena told me firmly and I sighed. No point in arguing with her while knowing I would be the one who would end up loosing and possibly with few bruises.

"I just don't wanna be alone with him in his office." I whispered after few moments of silent and heard Selena sigh before wrapping one of her arm around her. "I know Babe, but you can't let him affect your daily life choices this much. You need to show him that you are strong enough to handle yourself not mourn around because of him and that includes going to work and facing the fucking Demon yourself." Selena told me looking into my eyes with such believe that I just nodded up to her. "You are right." I finally voiced my thoughts then hugged her properly. "Thank you. I don't know what would have happened to me without you." I said once we pulled away from eachother's embrace.

"Simple. You would be lying on the side of a road. Dead." Selena replied with a laugh that I joined  in after punching her arm. "Are you done?" I asked pointing toward my face when I noticed she started putting away the make up. "Yeah I am." Selena said absentmindly as she put away the cosmetics. "Okay." I said and got up picking up whatever attire Selena had chosen for work. It was a blue shirt with white buttons and a black skinny jeans. Nothing too fancy. perfect. From now on I won't cry for Harry. The old Taylor is dead who would have cried her eyes out. Cheers for a new start.

Taylor's POV

I got out of the room with my bag to the kitchen seeing Selena stacking up pancakes. "What did I do to have the pleasure of your cooking?" I asked with an raised eyebrow Selena replied with a middle finger and an eye roll. "Since you are always whining about me not cooking for us ever." Selena replied when she noticed I wasn't going to stop until I get a verbal answer. "Well unlike you, I am greatful so Thank you." I said to irke her as I sat down to eat. "Well unlike you I am not going to say 'my pleasure' so dig in." Selena said as she sat across me putting some chocolate syrup on her pancakes.
"Can you drop me off to work? My car is at the repair again." I asked her breaking the comfortable silence we were eating in. "Sure." Selena replied with one word answer as she was too busy devouring her pancakes. "Thank you." I said and was met with a simple 'Hmm' as an answer. " 'oh! It's nothing Taylor! We are bestfriend! No need to thank me.' " I mocked her sarcastically while coping her voice. "Geez...what happened to the Taylor who was too sweet for the world?" Selena asked with a chuckle and I rolled my eyes. "She is dead." I told her which made her laugh. "Sure Jan." Selena said from across the table.
"Eat a little faster will you? I need to drop you off." Selena added and I looked up glancing at her plate which was empty already. "Sorry but some of us like to eat not shove anything edible down our throat." I told her with a sweet smile but she started laughing. "Fuck..Taylor, tone down the bitchiness a little or You would definitely get kicked out even before the contract expires." Selena said with a grin and I smirked at her devilishly, her grin started fading as she started catching up to my plan. "If that's your plan then Goodluck. Record whatever you do at work. I would love to laugh on it." Selena winked and I gave her a simple smile. "Don't worry. I will fill you in about the details." I said getting up pushing the plate of pancakes toward her. "You can have it. I am full."
