As Days Go By x T.C

Chapter 17

Mom woke me up. "What the hell is wrong with you? You're skipping school. You're shutting everyone out." She said with tears in her eyes. "Mom I'm just stressed out. "I said stretching. "Well maybe you should talk to someone" she yelled. "I don't know what's wrong with you but it stops. NOW!" I nodded. She left the room peacefully. I put on a jacket grabbed my phone and headed out the door. I didn't know where I was going but I just kept waking, I saw Taylor up ahead. "Hey." He said walking up to me. I waved. "You okay?" He asked. I shook my head. "Wanna come over?" He asked giving me a hug. We sat on his couch. I told him everything except the cutting. "Maybe you just need some time away from your family?" he assured me. I nodded. I couldn't help but crying. He put his hand on my chin and wiped my tears. Then he leaned over and his lips were on mine. I pulled away. "Oh my.. I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into me.." "it's okay. I'll leave now." I said hurrying out the door. Oh. My. Goodness.

Taylor P.O.V

I couldn't stop thinking of the kiss. I wanted her to know that I've been in that place before I've had those cuts. I've had those scars. But everything got better and I wanted to say that, but words didn't seem like enough. I felt like kissing her would do better. But no, it made things worse. One thing no one knows are my scars. Scars of abuse. Bullying. Everything. I wanted her to know she's not alone and I hope I'm not either.

Aby P.O.V

I don't know if I should tell Nash, it'd be the right thing to do but what would happen? I knocked on Jacks door. "Come in." "Look, i really need to talk to you. " I said quickly closing the door. "What is it?" "Taylor kissed me." I blurted out. He laughed. I couldn't help but smile. He made everything seem funny in a way. "This isn't funny." I said smiling. "Well to be honest, I don't know what to tell you." He said. Ugh, I stormed out the room. It was already 9:18. I got in the shower. As I got out I saw I had a text from Beatrice.

Bea - call me. NOW!

I called her. "Hello? Omg, do you go out with Nash?" She asked nervously. "Yeah, why?" I asked curiously. "Well Jennifer asked him to the dance and he said he doesn't know." She said. I hung up. I wasn't about to do this. I crawled under the covers. I felt something round. My antidepressants bottle. I put them on my table. I took 2 and went to bed.
