Why Me?

Chapter 19-It's You

"Kay, talk." I said, crossing my arms.

Taylor sighed and put his head in his hands. "I really hate that girl." He mumbled

I crawled over to him and rubbed his back. "So do I, Tay. So do I."

"Shannon always ruins everything!" He yelled, standing up and running his hands through his hair.

I just sat there, watching his pace around the room, pulling on his hair and throwing things every so often. I waited until he was done, then I pulled him back on the bed.

I hugged him as he breathed heavily.

"I'm just wondering, why did you guys break up?" I asked him after a moment of silence.

Taylor looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you serious?"

I shrugged. "I just want to know why it didn't work out."

"It didn't work out because she's a slut." He told me.

"Yeah, but...never mind." I sighed, looking down.

"No, what is it?" He cupped his hands around my face and forced me to look at him.

"What happened between you, her, and Cam?" I finally asked.

"Oh, well we were going out and I brought her to a MAGCon event. She was waiting backstage with a couple other guys when Dillon and I sang Buckwild. Some of the boys left until it was just her and Cam. Shannon came onto him and when he told me what happened, I didn't believe him." I could tell he was really frustrated with himself.

"I choose that bitch over my best friend. How could anyone do that?" He looked at me. 

"How did you finally find out what happened?" I asked him, afraid of the answer.

"I heard her talking to her other boyfriend on the phone. Telling him what she did and how stupid I was. I confronted her and she finally told me the truth." He said.

"Taylor, I am so sorry that happened to you." I stood up and pulled him off the bed, giving him a hug.

"Although I am still thinking about something." I admitted.

"Ok, whats up?" Taylor looked at me.

"Why me?" I asked, a tear sliding down my face.

"What? What do you mean? What are you talking about?" He said quickly, wiping my face with his hand.

"You could any girl you want. Even if you don't want Shannon again, you can actually have a pretty girl." I looked away from him.

"Dani, it's you. It's been you and it'll always be you." Taylor told me.

He grabbed my face and made me look at him. We stared in each others eyes, until I crashed my lips against his.

Our lips moved in sync and my arms made their way up around his neck. Taylor snaked his arms around my waist. 

"Oops." 

Taylor and I separated and turned to see Jacob, Nash, Cam, Carter, and Mahogany standing in the doorway.

I blushed and moved so I was behind Taylor a little bit. 

Jacob smirked at me and Cam winked at Taylor.

"We just came to say that we're all going to the pier and was wondering if you wanted to come." Carter said.

"Sure," Taylor said. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room, pushing past everyone.

"Why does Dani look like a tomato?" Matt asked, making Nash and Cam burst out laughing.

"Nothing. No reason what so ever." I said, blushing even more.
