Manage Me, I'm A Mess (TAYLEX)

Chapter 12

Tay's POV

"Hey this is Tay, I'm so busy or.. sleeping right now. Please leave a message after the beep."

"Tay? It's your mom. I'm coming home to Poughkeepsie since I heard they're giving out the results today I'm expecting you to have a good grade. Okay bye, see you later. I love you!"

"What?!" I groaned and instantly got up. "Shit! Why the hell does she to go here? Dammit NYU!"

Hastily, I went to the bathroom and fixed myself up. After that, I changed to some decent clothes and ate breakfast.

Putting the dishes on the dishwasher, there was a knock on the door.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's us!" I smiled when I heard my best friends answered simultaneously.

"Come on in, it's open," I answered and went over to sit on my couch.

"Hey Tay, we're going with you," Rob said with a smile.

"Where? And you look like you woke up the right side of the bed," I giggled.

"Well yeah," he scratched his head. "On your school."

"But, my mom is going with me. You still want to go?"

Rob didn't answer and looked at the rest of the guys which all of them shrugged. He rolled his eyes, "We're still going then."

I tried to interrupt but Rob came first, "I know we and your mom don't get really along, but come on, Tay, it's gonna be fun," he winked and made a little smirk.

"Fine, I think I failed though," I hesitated and exhaled. "I'm not good at this, I have my own destiny, I didn't chose this, I sorta did.. But it's for my mom."

"We know, Tay," Jordan spoke.

"I chose my dad's destiny for me, but he won't see it," Again, I paused. Tears begin to form my eyes while the guys went up and wrestled.. I mean hugged me.

"What the hell, guys?!" I snickered, "Get the fuck.. You're hurting me!"

"Oops sorry, miss Drama," Mike said and grinned.

"I'm so sorry for your dad, Tay. He was a good dude," Cam said with pity.

"It's okay, I need to move on. It's been 3 years anyway." I smiled while they all smiled back.

"Okay! So shall we go or let's wait for your mom?" Rob asked with gestures.

"Uhh.." Just about then, there was a knock on the door.

"Uhh, I'll get it!" Rob told us and rused to the door and opened it.

"Tay!" My mom greeted and gave me an instant hug while I hugged back.

"Mom!" Then I pulled away.

"Uh, h-hi Mrs. Jardine," Mike muttered to my mom whilst he was looking down his feet, obviously nervous.

Her

"Hey, Mrs. Jardine," the rest of the guys said simultaneously.

"Hello, boys," my mom greeted plainly and they were all sheepish.

"How did you went here so quick, mom?" I asked with curiosity.

"When I was at the airport, I called you, I forgot to call you when I was still in Ottawa."

"Oh okay. So shall we go now?" Rob asked all of us while some shrugged and some nodded slowly, they are certainly not sure.

"Uhh, okay. Let's go!" I chuckled a little bit and we all went outside. Anxious, we went to my beloved university, not. I'm really sure I'm a failure, and my mom would really won't like that, I'm like this. She doesn't accept the fact I want to be a singer with my band. In fact, she even has intentions not to make me a singer, but she still will be proud of me, of course.

Arriving at the billboard, there was a lot of students there, fighting over to see what's their scores. I gulped and went to the crowd to see my score. Well, as my expectations, I was in 3rd.. Last. A shiver went down to my spine as my mom went beside me and found my name. She slowly jerked her face to me, and was clearly disappointed. I was about to speak as she did first.

"What happened, Tay?" she asked disappointedly.

I fidgeted as I couldn't express my explanation, "I.. I'm not good at architecture, mom. I have more ambitious ways than it. Can't you just respect my destiny as a singer?"

Her eyes widened and thought of it. The guys patted my shoulder and I mouthed "thank you".

"Look Tay, I do respect your decision but I just want you to be an architect. So here's the thing, I will still support my little girl if what's her decision. I'll even be your number one fan. But if it's okay if you failed this architecture," she hesitated and nudged my shoulder. "Go live your life."

I smiled as tears formed in my eyes, due to my euphoria I instantly hugged my mother and whispered "thank you." I saw the guys smiling at me, while I smiled back.

Few months later, we started playing gigs in some restaurants. We were going places, I was very excited.

Opening up our band's account in twitter, someone mentioned us, but it's not an ordinary one. It was from Billie Joe from Green Day.

"If you haven't heard of @TheInCrowdBand, then you are wasting your life! Go take a listen to them now! :)"

I was recently fangirling since Green Day, one of the bands that inspired us, their singer, Billie Joe Armstrong just tweeted us and noticed our music. You barely get that.

Also, our twitter page increased it followers in 50k! I was so happy we didn't have to follow people randomly just to follow us, and listen to us. I screamed and called the guys.

They fanboyed also about BJ tweeted us. We were the happiest people alive.

A/N: Sorry for the late update. We were hit by a tropical storm, it was signal 3. Of course, they were blackouts, it was a persistent one. I did this on this boring free time, by the way thanks for supporting, still. Appreciate it.

P.S.: @TheInCrowdBand? I made it up, since their last band name was TheInCrowd.
