"Thank-you," I thanked Taylor's house maid

"It's no problem," she smiled, before giving a little bow and walking back to the kitchen.

"Taylor?" I asked, as my fists curled into tight balls, I pounded my fist onto the door.

"Come in," she said, faintly.

If you hadn't noticed, I was currently at Taylor's house, clutching tightly onto the stuffed toy that she had given me once before.

***FLASHBACK***

I wandered off into the now empty classroom and the first thing that caught my attention was a stuffed animal sitting on my designated seat, it wore a gym set and lazily slouched, I walked towards it, and clutched onto the chest of the toy.

"I'm sorry. Forgive me for being a coward." It had been a voice recorded message from Taylor

***FLASHBACK OVER***

"Is it true?" Taylor asks in a shaky and unstable voice, and in all honesty, it did nothing but freak me out. I mean, it's Taylor! She's overly bubbly and full of sunshine and rainbows! The only time that she'd be nervous, anxious or frightened would be if she were in a test, receiving her test result, or the One Direction boys were near by.

"Is what true?" I asked concerned, if there was anything that was bothering my friend, I had to know what it was and put an end to it, no matter how dramatic that sounded, it's true.

"You and Harry! Is it true?" She cried, looking towards me, I saw the sadness in her eyes, the tears that fell one by one down her cheek, I was the reason she left school to go home early. I was part of what was bothering my friend. It was me. She looked at me, begging me for an answer, and I realised, I still hadn't replied.

"N-No, it was an accident. All just coincidental, believe me." I assured her, mentally face palming at my ridiculous stutter.

"B-But, it looked like he really liked you," she spoke quietly, her voice trembling as if she had been in the cold for far too long.

"There's no way! Trust me, he was just mucking around," I spoke, it was as if a burst of confidence had taken over, leading my voice to become more convincing. Finally, luck was on my side.

"Ok, I feel like I'm all better now," she grinned, hopping out of her bed. That's the Taylor I know. I laughed at the sight

"Let's go out, somewhere! Being sick is boring," she exclaimed giggling

"Okay," I laughed

"Alright, I'll just go and get my clothes," she grinned, rummaging thought her closet and grabbing a bundle of clothes before rushing out into the hallway, her footsteps grew fainter and more distant.

I shook my head, typical Taylor.

I took my time to look around the room, I 'aw'ed at the adorable baby photos she had which hung around the room, laughed at the goofy faces she pulled and grinned at the photo frame she had of us. Sneaky.

I bumped into something on the floor on my way to reach for the frame, as a result, I toppled over and landed face first onto the ground.

"Ouch," I muttered

"What the heck was that?"

My eyes averted to the source of my 'injury' and found out that it was a photo album.

I turned the hard cover over.

'Rose Vale Pre-School' it read, What?

I opened the book for just a brief second before the door opened, before my head could even rise, Taylor and rushed towards me and snatched the photo book off of me.

"Don't touch my stuff!" She yelled, pulling away the album from my grasp

"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered, I understand that I invaded her privacy but, what's in the album that she wanted to protect so badly.

"No, it's my fault. I just didn't want you to read what was in it... I wrote some pretty weird stuff," she nervously laughed.

"Are you serious about her?" Liam asked

"Who?" I asked, lowering my phone

"Jade." Zayn explained

"Well, yeah." I stated, I guess I was

"Haz, don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but you haven't forgotten who gets the final say in your relationship, right?" Lou asked

"Yeah, I mean what would your mum say?" Liam asked

"Nothing good that's for sure," Zayn coughed

"That's rich coming from you three," I scoffed, returning to my game

"What do you mean?" Zayn asked

"The amount of girls you each go through every week and you guys still consider yourself men." I stated, it was true, they never kept a girl for more than three days, and if they had, that romance was probably long gone by now.

"If you're such a man, please explain to us what a 'real man' is," Lou spoke in his sarcastic 'enlighten me' tone

"A man takes responsibility from the beginning to the end," I said

"The end?" Zayn asked sounding a tad mortified

"The very end."

(JADE'S P.O.V.)

After Taylor's minor freak attack she ended up dragging me to a club.

It was way too dark for my liking, too many bodies were closing me, I wwas getting mildly claustrophobic, and it was growing worse, fast.

"Let's go dance!" Taylor grinned, making her way to the dance floor tugging on my hand to pull me along

"No thank you, I think I'll just sit out," I grinned, taking a seat in the nearby vacant booth.

"Well, okay." She grinned walking off by herself. I watched from the distance as a blonde in a red dress who was seemingly drunk bumped into her.

I thought that she'd just brush it off and apologise but what she did next was totally unexpected and uncalled for.

Taylor's hand raised high above her head, and in the next millisecond came crashing across the girl's face

"Dammit, if you're ugly, you should at least dance well." she sneered

And after that moment I was unsure who I was with, for all I know, it wasn't the sweet and innocent Taylor I knew that was my friend, this person was different, and that scared me.
