Against All Odds

Chapter 18

~Jess's POV~

I'm so bored. There is absolutely nothing to do, and no ones talking to me.

Wth is this. I thought I was one of their best friends? Guess not anymore.

I walk up the stairs, getting ready to just take a nap.

"I can't believe she doesn't remember me." I can hear Nash say, from probably his room.

"She doesn't remember anyone, anything. So we can start over. I never punched her. She never found out I had a side chick. You never said you didn't want her baby." I think Cameron is his name, tells him.

Nash doesn't want the baby?... And Cam.. He punched me!?

That's it.

I run down the hall, bursting into his room.

Him and Cam are sitting on the bed, and Matts laying on the floor.

"J-Jess." Matt says, shooting up.

"Don't." I snap, pointing at him, "don't say, 'you shouldn't have heard that'. Because TOO FUCKING BAD! I did."

"Jess, those things didn't really hap-" cam starts.

"Shut the hell up!" I yell, throwing my hands in the air.

Then I remember...

-FLASH BACK-

"What are you doing?" Cam asks

"Hugging my best friend, what are you doing?" I respond

"This" he says, going to punch Matt.

But instead his fist collides with my face and then darkness.

-END-

"YOU!" I scream, jabbing my figure at him.

He jumps back, widening his eyes.

"You hurt me.." I say, a tear falling.

He starts standing up.

"I didn't actually punch you, I was just saying." He makes weird eye contact with Nash.

I shake my head.

"No. No Cameron. I remember. You did it because Matt cared about me! Because I loved him!" I yell, not really knowing if the last parts true.

"I-I." He can't even speak.

That's what I thought.

"And as for you Nash", I start to cry, " just stay out of my child's life. Using my brain damage as a new start for your mistakes isn't what I want in a partner.

"Jess I didn't-"

"No Nash. You don't want the baby.. You don't get to have it." I quietly yell.

"Jess he-"

"No Matt. Don't defend him. Your just as bad for not telling me he doesn't want his child!" I scream, making Taylor come in the room.

"What's going on?" He asks.

I give him the stank look and turn back to the others.

"Honestly. Your all a bunch of self centered assholes." I whisper calmly, biting my lip.

"Jess don't say that!" Nash defends them.

I turn so I'm not facing him, letting another tear fall.

"I'm an asshole...?" Taylor looks at me, almost hurt.

I shake my head pointing to the other three.

"No. Your the only one a can handle right now." I say, gripping my head while pains shoot through it.

"Come on." Taylor takes my arm, leading me out of the room.

"Hey, what's wrong babe?" He says pulling me into my room.

We sit on the bed, my head rested on his chest.

"I'm just so lost right now. And those three sound like assholes from what I've been seeing."

I can feel him nodding his head. He pets my hair, playing with the tips.

"Ever since we've gotten famous.. It went to their heads." He whispers.

"Not you?" I ask, looking up at him.

"Are you kidding? The fans mean the world to me. And so do you." He grins.

His smile is so cute. Almost as adorable as his contagious laugh.

"Thank you for being there for me. Through all of this.." I hide my lips, looking around.

"Hey, anything for my girl."

My spine tingles at his words.

I look back up at his brown eyes, smiling down at me.

And I swear I try stopping myself. But it just happens.

I reach up and interlock our lips, moving in sync. I thought he'd push me away. But he didn't...

He cups my face with his hands, and brushes my temple with his thumb.

By the time we part, my face is bright red.

"I-I'm sorry Taylor." I say, softly smacking my head.

He grabs my hand and makes me look at him.

"Jess I've been waiting for you to do that since you found out Nash was the father." He's says all in one breath, making me smile.

"Wait did we ever.." I widen my eyes.

He shows all his teeth and chuckles.

"Oops."

I FUCKED TAYLOR CANIFF OMG.

"So you could have been the father?" I ask.

Then I remember what I had said to Leylah yesterday. That I loved him. I can't love anyone right now. When I hardly even know my own name.

He nods, rubbing my stomach.

"I wish I was."

Honestly .. I wish he was too...
