RIVALS

15| My Precious

Song- Kills You Slowly by The Chainsmokers. I wrote this chapter related to this song kinda.

Taylor's POV.

"Taylor, fucking answer me." His voice was calm, way too calm.

I had no choice but to lie to him.

"I don't know why he's texting me, he surely got mistaken. Please calm down." I gave him a convincing look.

"I don't believe you." He shook his head.

I grabbed my phone, unlocked it and showed him the messages between Mason and I.

"Here, we never texted each other before this. Mason and I can't stand each other, how do you expect us to even do this?"

He nodded, "Fine, then you wouldn't mind if I texted him back will you?" He raised a brow.

"What the fuck? Can you even hear yourself talking? There's no way you're gonna text him back." I said, raising my voice and standing up from the bed.

"I just wanna confirm wether you're telling the truth or not."

"So you're calling me a liar now?"

Well, that's pretty much what you are honey.

"I didn't say that."

"You definitely implied that." I replied, sounding really pissed.

Why are you getting pissed at this poor boy while you're the cheating bitch here?

I'm a bad person.

"Taylor do you really think I'm a kid? If you won't let me text him then you should leave, I'll talk to him personally at school." He sighed and finally looked at me.

I scoffed, folding my arms over my chest, "You know what's funny? The fact that you ask me to trust you while you don't even give two fucks about me."

He looked at me, unbothered, "I'm not in the mood to talk about all this Taylor, just... please leave?"

"Fine, whatever." I got out of his room and slammed the door. I didn't give a fuck if it was his father's house, and I didn't give a fuck if I was the one at fault cause I really liked him and he just acted like an asshole towards me. I know, that's all I deserved after hooking up with his best friend. With Lewis I felt less insecure, I felt like I actually meant something cause he showed me that he really cared about me. But with Mason, all I felt was... lust? I mean, every time I was around him I felt like kissing him everywhere even though I hated him sometimes. I was just so confused.

"Tay? Why are you leaving? And why are you crying?" Olivia asked as she came out of the game room.

I wiped my tears rapidly, "No, nothing. We just got into a stupid argument with Lewis and I overreacted."

"He did something bad to you? Where the fuck is that asshole?" She was about to go upstairs but I stopped her.

"He didn't do anything, I'll- I'll tell you everything later."

Her brows snapped together, "What are you hiding from me Tay?"

"I'll tell you at the right time, I swear this is not against you or anything, I'm just not ready." I explained to her.

"Sure. So you're going home now?"

"Yeah, can you drop me there? Lewis and I came together and I left my car at school."

"Uhh... I gotta go, I can't." She sounded hesitant.

I narrowed my eyes, "Where are you going?"

"Uhh... just somewhere, I'll call you." She didn't even look at me as she rushed to the door and left.
