Run Away With Me [Kaylor]

7.

Taylor felt awful when she retreated to her own bedroom and could hear the middle sobs coming from the room next to hers which just so happened to be Karlie's. The last thing she wanted to do was the upset the woman, but she didn't know how else to react. She was confused; confused because she was excited when Karlie was about to kiss her, but also terrified. Never in her life had she doubted her sexuality - until now.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door, she exited the room and watched Karlie emerge from hers at the same time - her eyes puffy and red. Taylor's heart broke slightly at the sight of inflicting pain on the brunette, but couldn't bring herself to say anything, they just stared at each other until finally Karlie walked past her and down the stairs. There was some loud talking and Taylor stayed where she was for a few seconds  before following to see what the commotion was all about.

"CAMREN!" Cara yelled, as she swung open the door to reveal the two brunettes who were beaming back at her. Lauren rolled her eyes at the nickname whilst Camila giggled at the welcome.

"Hey Cara," Lauren said, as she pulled the blonde into a tight squeeze - doing the same with Camila afterwards.

"Who's she?" Camila asked, nodding her head towards Selena who was stood in the doorway of the living room, just watching the exchange with a small smile on her face.

"Oh, right. Guys...this is Selena. The hottest woman in earth," she introduced, and smiled smugly when Selena blushed at the confinement.

"Hi, nice to meet you guys. Cara's told me so much about you two," Selena says, hugging both girls.

They make light chatter in the hallway, until Karlie came down the stairs.

"Boss!" Camila yelled, running like a little kid towards the tall blonde and engulfing her in a koala hug. Karlie looked taken aback at first but then squeezed just as tightly - she was just happy to see more of her girls.

As soon as she let go, Lauren stepped in and gave Karlie a quick, but equally meaningful, hug and muttered greetings.

Behind Karlie, they all watched as Taylor timidly made her way down the mahogany staircase, avoiding everyone's eyes.

"Hey guys," she mumbled weakly towards Camila and Lauren who both politely said hello back and gave her a friendly hug.

"Karlie why does it look like you've been crying? Did One Direction finally get back together?" Cara asked, noticing the redness that outlined her usually vibrant green eyes.

"I don't even like One Direction," she responded, rolling her eyes and hoping that Cara would drop the subject because she didn't have a plausible explanation why it looked like she had been crying. And if she told them she'd been crying, then she'd have to tell them why and if she told them why then she'd have to explain how Taylor manages to break her heart a little more every day which just sounded pathetic.

"The picture of Zayn Malik you keep in your pocket always says otherwise," The blonde retorted.

"I'm a lesbian. Why would I have a picture of a dude in my pocket. If anything it should be like Megan Fox or something."

"Fair enough," Cara said, bored with the back and forth now.

Taylor had already gone back to her room which just left them in the hallway.
