Finally Grounded (Sequel To The One Who Grounds Me)

Chapter Sixty-Five

Tiana

Two Days Later

Why am I not surprised? If I was in his shoes, I would have done the same thing. Smiling sadly, I closed my eyes. Why does it matter anymore? I deserve this. After all, I was the one who ended things with him. I wouldn't want to cause any trouble for him. Maybe it was time I head back to my home.

I think I have more than enough, money in my bank account to pay for a plane ticket. Sophia will probably, be mad at me but unfortunately there was nothing I could do. At the moment I couldn't even fight for him.

The door squeaked. Not bothering, to look, I sighed. The seconds ticked by. The next thing I knew, a hand covered my mouth and my hand was ripped away from my face. I opened my eyes. Black as coal eyes stared back at me.

My heart skipped a beat. Opening my mouth, I bit down hard on the person's palm. The metallic taste of blood, flooded through my mouth.

"Fuck! What the hell Tiana?" Taylor yelled at me. He flashed his hand, as he hissed.

My lips curled into a sinister smile.

Taylor glared at me. "Can't believe you fucking bite me."

"What would your father say, if he sees you acting like a big pussy?"
He gawned his teeth together. Folding his arms, he plopped down on the bed beside me.

"I didn't rat you out, so you're welcome."

"Um.... what the hell is that suppose to mean?"

I pushed myself up into a sitting position. "I know you came here to threaten me."

"Now why the hell would I do that?" He asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Because you were the one who shot me."

He snorted a laugh.

My eyebrows furrowed.

"I would never harm a single, hair on that pretty little head of yours. Yes I admit I am a sadist and a stalker but I would never hurt you.... so get your facts straight."

"Then if you didn't do it, then who?"

His lips curled. Unfolding his hands, he removed a brown package from inside his jacket. He dropped it on my lap and stood up.

"I'm only helping you out because I don't want you to frame me, for something I didn't do. I believe I threatened your boyfriend four or five times, but that's it. After watching you go all Jack and Rose on the shooter, I figured out I was fighting a losing battle. Yes I love you... I want you back but at the same time. I won't stick around anymore and force my feelings on you. If ever you need anything, you know where to find me. Also I wrote my number on the back of the envelope so store it inside of your phone...." Taylor smiled solemnly at me. He approached me gingerly. Reaching his hands out, he cupped my face. "As Michael Bolton said, there's a time for love and a time letting go..... I'm sorry for everything Tiana."

Leaning down, he pressed a kiss to my forehead. Warm, ball of tears dripped on my cheek. Tilting my head back, I looked at him.

His lips quivered. "I'll never forget you." Smiling, through the tears, he bobbed his head. "Goodbye Tiana." Stepping away, he turned on his heels and walked out of the room.

"Goodbye Taylor." I whispered to the empty room.

When the doors closed. I ripped into the envelope. Two pictures and a pendrive, slide out. Picking up one of the pictures, I squinted on it. My eyes widen, when I saw who the real culprit was.
