Personal (Maggie Lindemann & Brad Simpson Fanfiction)

Confused

Maggie's Pov

Once I reached my street I saw Taylor sitting on his front porch. I started walking towards Taylor when he got up and met me down on the edge of the lawn. "Taylor why didn't you tell me you left? I was worried about you."

Taylor just looked at me with a seriously?-look then he said "Seriously Maggie? You think i'd want to stay there and watch you and him kiss?"

"Who said you had to watch us kiss?"

Taylor's Pov

"Maggie your not getting it, I can't see you with him." I started to raise my voice a little bit louder.

"Why not? It's not like were dating Taylor."

"Maggie that's so not the point. Are you really not seeing it?"

" Seeing what Taylor?" Maggie asked while she put her hand on her hip.

"Jesus Maggie it's pretty obvious that I've liked you since you moved here. You know what that doesn't even matter anymore. Have fun with Brad and do me a favor and don't talk to me."

"Taylor I'm-"

"Save it Maggie I really don't want to hear it." I turned around and walked inside my house.

Maggie's Pov

Taylor just left me standing outside of his house confused. I stood there for a few more seconds trying to process what had just happened. Why didn't Taylor tell me about this a while ago? I mean if Taylor would've told me about this at least I would've known about it. I slowly walked back to my house.

Taylor's Pov

I watched as Maggie stood there on the grass with a blank face. Maggie turned around and she slowly walked towards her house. I got out of the window and walked into the kitchen. My mom was sitting at the table drinking her hot tea. "Taylor honey are you okay? You look a little down."

I looked up at my mom then nodded my head yes. "I am mom"

"why honey?"

"because mom you remember Maggie right?"

"of course she's the girl with the long, dark, brown hair right?" I nodded my head yes again before I looked down at my hands.

"Taylor honey what is it?"

"Mom I think I hurt Maggie.."

"How do you mean honey?"

"Well she was kissing this new guy Brad, and I couldn't take it anymore that's why I left the beach early. Then she found me sitting on the porch so we sort of got into a fight."

"A fight about what?"

"Why I left early, and I told her I liked her"

"Honey that's great she knows now right?"

"yeah, but she kissed this guy Brad so now I think they might be dating soon.." I looked back down at my hands.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault mom it's mine."

"Taylor it's not yours either." My mom set her cup of hot tea on the table.

"It is mom, if I had told Maggie earlier that I liked her we wouldn't have gotten in that fight."

"Taylor that's not your fault. You weren't ready to tell Maggie that you liked her. Sometimes people take longer to admit things to the people that they like. When your father and I first started talking it took me 2 months just to admit to myself that I liked him. And you know what took me even longer to tell your father?"

"That you liked him?"

"Yes, now you see Taylor, telling a person that you like them isn't the easiest thing to do."

"Yeah I guess, but now I'm afraid Maggie and I aren't going to be friends anymore.." I'm not going to lie a few tears slipped out of my eyes and down my cheeks. My mom got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in for a hug. A few more tears fell from my eyes and down my cheeks for the second time.

Maggie's Pov

I walked inside my house and my mom was standing right by the stairs. "Maggie your home early, where's Brad?"

I didn't say anything I just slid down the door. I folded my knees into my chest and put my head down. "Maggie honey what happened?" My mom took a seat right by my side. I couldn't say anything I just started crying.

"Maggie talk to me honey."

I slowly lifted my head up and took a deep breath. "Something happened between Brad and I at the beach."

"Okay and?"

"And I guess Taylor liked me, but he never told me and once Brad and I kissed I guess somehow Taylor got upset and left."

"Maggie, are you sure you didn't know that Taylor liked you? I need you to think long and hard." I started thinking of last year when I first met Taylor and I vaguely remembered. Taylor told me at the Snow Ball dance last year. How could I forget about that? I looked back up at my mom then I said "Oh my god, Taylor told me at the Snow Ball dance last year. How could I forget about that? I'm a bad person aren't I?" I asked my mother and she shook her head no.

"Maggie you're not a bad person honey."

"Then tell me why Taylor hates me so much."

"Honey Taylor doesn't hate you." As soon as my mom said that there was a knock on the door. I moved to the bottom stair and sat down. My mom slowly opened the door. "Taylor, please come in"

"thank you Mrs. Lindemann." Taylor stood inside right by the door.

"I'm going to make some more tea." My mom left and headed to the kitchen leaving Taylor and I all alone.

"Look Taylor I-"

"No Maggie I'm the one who needs to apologize." Taylor took a seat right beside me.

"Look Mags, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I was angry mixed with jealousy and I took it out on you and that wasn't cool."

"I'm sorry too Taylor"

"For what Mags?"

"I remember you told me that you liked me last year."

"What? You uh remember that?"

"Yes and I sort of forgot and I'm-" Taylor smashed his lips to mine and I was surprised when I kissed Taylor back. Taylor pulled away from the kiss first and I was still shocked.

"Sorry I had to." Then Taylor got up and walked out the front door. Taylor left me sitting on the bottom stair very confused. I was trying to process what had just happened between Taylor and I and I couldn't fully understand how I should be feeling right about now. OMG Brad! Do I tell brad that Taylor and I kissed? Do I keep it to myself for now and figure out how I should be feeling.
