*Taylor's POV*

Harry left five minutes ago to "get a drink" and he still wasn't back yet. I got up from where I sat and walked to the kitchen. I saw Harry standing there talking to some guy who was crouched on the floor. I looked around Harry and realized that guy was Jake.

"Don't try that shit with me. Just stay the fuck away from her" Harry spat.

I ran out the house. I could already feel tears forming in my eyes.

Ugh, why am I crying?

I sat on the floor and brought my knees to my chest.

I felt someone kneel down in front of me. Harry. I could already tell.

"Taylor." He said in a soft voice.

I looked up at him through my teary eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"I don't know. I just... I just..." I started bawling. "Jesus."

He pulled me into him and I cried into his clothes. He was going to hate this.

"What happened?" I managed to ask.

"I... well I was really just getting a drink and he came up to me saying to stay away from you. Saying he was gonna win you back...." He sounded distant.

"Now are you really gonna believe that?"

We were both startled at Jake's voice. I felt Harry tense up and he pushed me behind him as he turned to face Jake.

"Leave." He said.

"No, I came here for Taylor. Why don't you leave?"

This was getting annoying.

I stepped out from behind Harry.

"Just go..you can't just show up and expect me to come running back to you."

He took a step towards me and cupped my face in his hand.

"Don't. Touch. Her." Harry took a step towards Jake.

"Taylor?" He looked at me.

I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Harry and took his hand in mine.

"Just go." I said to Jake. He looked at me one last time before he walked away.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I just wanna go home."

"You can't leave now.."

"Fine, I'll walk." I started walking in the direction of my house. It was a good 20 minute walk. I'd be fine.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Every now and then, a car would pass by and honk at me.

Losers.

It got windy and cold. I ran my hands up and down my arms to try and keep myself warm. I heard a noise. I looked behind me and saw someone running up to me. I squinted but I couldn't tell who it was so I started running too.

"No, Taylor. Stop!"

It was a male voice. He spoke in short breaths.

Oops.

He stopped running. I walked to him.

"What're you doing?"

"You really think... I'd let you.... walk alone. You...walk...really....fast." He spoke in short breaths again.
