Breathe: Sequal to My Heart

Hey guys! So a few things haha. Number one if you have come here after reading the first book (My Heart) I want to thank you so much for being "loyal" and such. Second of all I'm really exited for how the rest of the story will turn out! :-) So, let's get to the sequel, huh? Chapter One of Book Two! AHH!

Hayley's POV

"Hayley, how are you holding up?" Jeremy asked me through the phone.

It had been exactly one month since the events Taylor and I experience. I had the most intense pain ever felt both physically and emotionally. Josh took Taylor and I down to an old, abandoned house. He there forced a miscarriage on me and shot his own brother. Once we got back to Franklin, Taylor and I immediately reported Josh, and he was taken and put into a mental facility of some sort. Taylor likes to call it the "Insane Asylum: Population consists of Josh". It was a struggle for Taylor and I to live with what Josh caused.

"I'm okay, Jeremy. Taylor and I were going to hang out a bit today..." I said into the phone. I knew that Jeremy was only wanting to check up on me, but I kind of wanted to be alone right now, "I have to go, Jeremy! Bye!"

I hung up the phone and jumped onto my couch where I watched the television. I looked at the time to see that it was - 12:39. Taylor was going to be here at 1, and I decided to get something for him to snack on when he got here. I decided to clean up a bit, and I stuck some mozzarella sticks into the microwave. Taylor and I were planning on moving in together. I just couldn't "function" without him always by my side. I found myself coming over to his house every day, so he brought up the option of moving in together. I took the mozzarella sticks out of the microwave, and I heard a knock on the door. I walked up to the door, and opened it while hiding behind it. Taylor entered and shrugged.

"Well I guess if Hayley is here I better go- oh wait mozzarella sticks!" I watched him walk up to te plate and eat one. "It would be such a shame to leave these here..."

I jumped from behind the door, closed it, and ran up to him.

"NO!" I shouted grabbing one. He laughed an pulled me into a hug.

"How you doing, Hayles?" He asked in a warming voice.

"I'm okay... I still miss them..."

Taylor sighed hugging me a bit tighter. "I miss them too."

After a few minutes of holding each other, we finally broke free and sat on the couch to talk.

"So, we are going to live together." I stated chewing on my food.

"Yea we are! Non stop dance parties, all the junk food possible, and I have a feeling you'll only be wearing my clothing for pjs." He smiled.

I nodded my head the two of us continued to snack on the microwaved food, and I looked at Taylor. I found myself staring at his deep, chocolate brown eyes. I always loved his eyes. They were always so pretty and deep. It was like they were never ending. They said that the eyes were a window to the heart, and I always found that Taylor's heart was beautiful. I observed him. His nose was so cute like a button, and his smile was so warming. His curls seemed to escape from his black beanie, and he was wearing black skinny jeans and a black shirt. I chuckled a little bit.

"What's so funny?" He smiled.

I shrugged. "I just really love you."

"I love you too, Hayley." He said while pulling me into a kiss.

I pulled away and sighed, "Taylor I'm sorry about last month... It's been an entire month..."

"Don't apologize. Josh is gone. Population Josh, remember?"

"But what about- well you know... They're gone..."

Taylor hugged me a bit. All we ever talked about always seemed to spiral into this conversation.

"We're still alive, aren't we? God has a purpose for us, and I know He will get us through this. And if it's hard, I'm still here to give you all of the hugs and kisses you need. That's why we are going to live together, right?" He smiled.

I kissed Taylor's cheek and rested my head on his shoulder. "Yea, I guess so..."

I was just happy that I had his soothing words to calm me down...
