The Dancer And The Badboy (Completed)

Chapter 13

As soon as I mentioned that he froze. He straightened his back and stared at me with pain in his eyes.

"How can I forget that night." Jake whispered pain dripping out with every word. "That was the best night of my life." His eyes found mine. His brown eyes looked so sad that I wanted to hug him.

"Then ..then why did you...." I started sobbing. "You hurt me so bad that day that it physically hurts Jake. I can't look at you without feeling that pain again and again. I was so in..." I wasn't able to speak anymore. The sobs were uncontrollable.

Jake had soo much pain in his eyes,so much sadness. He removed his gaze from and looked down at the floor lightly wiping the side of his eye with one of his hand.

"You broke me Jake." These words broke him. He clenched his fists tightly as if stopping himself from touching me. He opened his mouth to say something but suddenly the door of the bathroom opened again.

"Clary are you in there? I think I heard you cryi..." It was Taylor. She stopped talking when she saw who was I with.

"YOU!" Taylor gritted her teeth and her hands were already in tight fists. Her eyes were glaring at Jake. "What are you doing here? What did you do to Clary?" She said as she rushed to my side.

Her fragile hands took hold of me as she pulled me to her tightly. Her hand slightly running over my hair in order to comfort me.

Before Jake can say anything she turned to me. "Come on Clary. Lets get you home." Taylor helped me with my converse and we started moving towards the bathroom gate. I could feel the anger coming out of her like waves.

My ankle was better but I was little wobbly probably because of the alcohol,my ankle or that emotional rollercoaster with Jake.

Taylor was helping me out when suddenly she turned towards Jake. Jake was standing at the same spot in the same position. His jaw was clenched,his hands were in fists. He looked angry but one look at his beautiful brown eyes showed a different story. His eyes held pain,sadness and a longing. He looked broken and it looked like he was trying really hard to hold himself up and not fall down.

"You listen to me. You are going to stay away from her. I don't care how you do it but stay away from her. You have hurt her enough to last a lifetime. Don't make it any worse." Taylor said,her voice coming out strong and angry. With that she turned around and helped me out of the party.

Adam was already waiting for us at the car. Taylor had called him on the way. His green eyes held concern as he looked at me but he said or asked nothing as he looked at my and Taylor's expression. He simply took me back to my place.

After saying goodbye Taylor accompanied me to my house. She found the spare keys by the window and opened the gate of my house softly. Everybody was asleep.

We entered my room. I was still shaken by the encounter with Jake. I removed my shoes and dived on my bed trying to calm myself. But the tears came again.

I can't help myself.

Taylor noticed that climbed on my bed. She shifted my head on her lap and started combing my hair with her hands in order to comfort me but said nothing.

"I love him Taylor. I can't control it anymore. I love Jake and that crushes me." I cried in her lap.

She continued to comb my hair with her hands. "Whenever I see him I just want to slap him for hurting me but then a big part also wants to kiss the shit outta him." I laughed bitterly.

"Ssh." Taylor cooed when I did that. "Close your eyes and try to sleep Clary. It's been a long night for you." I nodded my head. Following her instructions I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. It took some time but finally I was able to sleep with my best friend by my side.

I woke up with a pounding headache. Taylor was asleep beside me,her gorgeous blonde hair spread messily on the pillow. Her eyeliner was totally ruined,circling around her eye rim because of which she looked like a raccoon. She was still in her party clothes like me. Her crop top was riding up showing her black bra. I adjusted it so that she was not exposed and covered her with a blanket. We both slept without a blanket. I don't know how I slept through the night without a blanket.

I smiled at the sight. Taylor. She was my best friend and God was I lucky. I can't wish for anything more except....

I turned around and walked towards me bathroom trying to rid my mind of Jake and what happened last night.

I washed my face,showered and changed into comfortable clothes. By the time I got out Taylor was up. When she saw me enter her eyes softened and she gave me a small smile. "You okay?"

"Better" I replied. I gave her my sweats and a hoodie and got us medicine to rid our hangover.

After she changed we decided to have a day to ourselves. We hung out in my room,watched movies where mom also joined us. It was a great day with my favourite people around.
