Taylors POV

"i haven't been able to sleep...." he chokes, then clears his throat. 

"whats going on?" i was starting to worry now. 

"Taylor... i cant help it... spending all that time with you... and the late nights...i.." Tracy went to say. 

"Don't even finish that sentence Tracy..for the best of us both. don't do this to me."  i shake my head and go to walk away. i knew what he was fixng to say. "please...i need to tell you. i haven't been able to sleep, i need you to know..." he grabs my wrist. "what is it Tracy..." i sighed while turning around. 

"i think I'm sort of crazy about you" he looks up at me as he releases my wrists from his grip, and instead he holds my hand in his, rubbing his thumb across mine. 

Gus's POV

"can you go get the rest of my boxes out of the car while i finish getting ready, please Gus?" Aaron asks as he starts walking up the stairs. "where's your car?" i ask. "parked beside the house, will you please?" he pleads. "sure man." i stand up off the couch and head towards the front door. 

i don't want Tayor to think I'm trying to eavesdrop...

so instead, i turn around and go out the back door. i walk to the side of the house and i faintly heard Taylor and Tracy but i didn't bother to listen in...until i heard Taylor tell him "don't do this to me" i grabbed the boxes out of Aarons car and slowly made my way around to the front of the house, trying to listen in on the conversation. was Taylor hiding something from me?

i  heard Tracy say something but it sounded very muffled. but that's when i heard him say something else that made my heart fall through my chest, angering me in every single way.

i slowly walk around the corner and drop the boxes as i made eye contact with Tracy. 

"G-Gus" he stutters while backing far away from Taylor as if he was scared of what i was fixing to do. 

"are you fucking kidding me.." i slowly make my way up the steps, walking towards Tracy. "Gus. Please. He was just leaving." Taylor pulls on my arm. " i fucking trusted you. i trusted you to take care of her! not to fall for her!" i shove Tracy against the porch railing. "that's my fucking girl, Tracy! you were supposed to be my best friend!" i grab him by the collar. "Gus..i-I'm sorry i couldn't help it! i cant control the way i feel!" he says anxiously as his eyes bobbled back and forth from me to Taylor. 

"Hey! Gus, what the hell is going on!" i heard Aaron run out the front door and in seconds he was pulling me off of Tracy. "Go get in the car, Now!" Aaron looks at me. "Gus, please!" Taylor yelled again while pulling on my arm. 

i couldn't keep my eyes off of Tracy. he had made me beyond angry. He broke my trust...which with him being my best friend, breaks my heart. 

my anger faded away, then a wave of emotions and sadness overwhelmed me. i felt a tear run down my cheek as i pulled my arm out of Taylor's grip.  "Gus..go get in the car.." Shannon approached me with a calming, warm tone.  i looked back at Tracy who was in the middle of a conversation with Aaron. i looked at Taylor and she looked exactly the way i felt. confused, and hurt.i had a feeling we werent hurt for the same reasons though.  she looked at me and wrapped her arms around me. 

i felt so relieved. "come on.." i whispered as i grabbed her hand and lead her out to Shannon's car. 

"Gus..i-i had no idea. okay? i promise." She says as soon as we get in the car. 

"do you feel the same way about him?" i asked, scared of what she may respond with.

Taylors POV

"mom! we're gonna go ride the fury okay?" i smiled as i pulled on Gus's arm. "okay, we'll be at the candy shop." my mom laces her fingers with Aarons as they walk off. Knowing they're trying to work things out again makes me happy for the both of them.

"uh...baby, im not sure how i feel about riding that thing.." Gus says as we approach the tallest roller coaster in the park.

"please!" i begged as we got in line. "fine.." he finally gives in. 

 "im glad you were honest..you know?" He laces his fingers with mine as we both lean against the railing. "with what?" i turn to look at him; he had the biggest, most heart-warming smile plastered on his face. "the whole Tracy thing." he looked down at our hands and i could tell he was still hurt at the fact Tracy betrayed him. 

"I've always loved you, never stopped loving you, and i always will." i whispered while leaning in, leaving a soft kiss on his lips. "good." he exhales in relief as the line moves forward. we eventually moved up to the front of the line, and by that time, it was our turn to get on. 

"i swear if i scream like a bitch, you better still love me like the man i am." Gus laughs anxiously as we pulled our handlebars back. "oh shut up. its not that bad." i smirked while grabbing his hand. "are..you....ready!!!" the guy over the speakers yelled, hyping the crowd. "have a nice ride!" he says right before we take off. 

"im never doing that again." Gus laughs as the ride was over and we were exiting. 

"oh shut up, you enjoyed it." i smiled. Gus draped his arm around me as we made our way to the candy shop to meet up with Aaron and my mom.

"Taylor?" i heard someone call my name from behind me and Gus. 

i turn around and i was face to face with a boy with eyes as blue as the ocean waves, hair slick-pushed back and a skin tone so tan that he must've been outside his whole life. 

"Dylan?" i asked confused. 

"who?" Gus looks at me then at Dylan.
