Story of My Life // Taylor Caniff

Chapter 63

*Faiths POV*

I smiled and took his hand, dragging him out of my room and down the stairs. I went into the kitchen where I found Mom making lunch.

Happily, I said "Hi Mom!"

"Hey sweety!" She wipped her hands on her aaporn and walked over, giving me a big hug. She finally let go. "Did you have a safe flight?"

I nodded. "Yeah.'

"Is this Taylor? The boy you've told me multiple times about?"

Taylor giggled and looked at me.

I sighed. "Yes, Mom. This is Taylor Caniff. Taylor this is my Mom, Kristen Evans. Well actually Kristen James now that she's divorced from my Dad."

Taylor nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Ms. James."

"It's nice to meet you too, Taylor. But please, call me Kristen." Mom grinned and then went back to making lunch.

"Um, Taylor, I'll meet you upstairs, I need to talk to my Mom for a minute."

He kissed my cheek. "Okay." and went upstairs.

"What do you need to talk about, dear?" She asked.

I sat across from her at the island and slowly processed what I was about to tell her. Or atleast try to tell her. "Mom have you heard what happened to Dad?" I managed to choke out. I didn't know how she would take it.

"That he passed away because his liver failed and he didn't qualify for a new one." She stared down at her cutting board, focusing on cutting the cucumbers.

"Yeah.. that.."

"The hospital called me last night, Faith." She seemed so focused and her voice was stern.

"Oh, okay." I got up and was about to go upstairs but I heard my sniffle.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" I heard Jet ask.

"Nothing, buddy. Just.. just go play with your toys. Everything's alright." The way her voice cracked and sounded, she was trying not to cry.

I ran upstairs to see Taylor on his phone, laying down on his stomach on my bed. I closed the door and layed on my stomach next to him.

"Hey baby girl." He kissed my cheek.

"Whatcha doin'?" I asked.

"Talking to Carter and Cameron, and some of the other guys."

"Cool." My phone vibrated on the top of the dresser. I got up and saw that Felicity texted me.

Felicity- Hai gurly! What's shakin' bakin'?

I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed a little.

Faith- Nothing gurly! What's up with you? You seem like you're in a good mood

Felicity-Yerp a dippin derp de herp ter flurp wer keep

Faith- LOL XD I got to go

Felicity- Okay

Faith- Not like that!

I layed next to Tay and he put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. I smiled and closed my eyes.
