You're My Girl ~ Tayler Holder

Chapter 12

Tayler POV
I really didn't want Lauren going out with Blake. He's not a bad guy or anything, I just felt jealous.

The comments Sommer and the sway boys made about me and Lauren have been playing around in my head. Lauren and I have been shipped a lot on social media. Even if I post something with Sommer, people will comment that I should be with Lauren. I've always thought Lauren was a gorgeous girl but I never thought in a million years she would like me back. When I moved out to LA, the feelings I had for Lauren went away but not fully away. When she came back in my life, all of them feelings came rushing back. I knew I hurt Lauren by not keeping in touch and I know she wasn't completely over it.

Spending all this time with Sommer has been amazing but I keep thinking in the back of my head, she's not Lauren. Ever since Sommer made that comment, she's been a bit distant with me. She's not come round to the house as much; she doesn't text, call or FaceTime much either.

I was in the kitchen, I had just finished my workout. I was scrolling through my phone and the Lopez brothers joined me. "Hey bro, are you okay?" Tony asked. I nodded slowly. "You don't seem it." Ondreaz said. "I'm just confused." I replied. "Why? What's up?" Ondreaz asked. "I like Sommer I really do, but ever since Lauren came back in my life my feelings for her have come back." I admitted. "I knew you like her." Tony yelled. Ondreaz and I looked at him with a 'are you serious' face.

"Do you honestly see a future with Sommer?" Tony asked. I shook my head. "Is Lauren in your future?" I nodded. "You need to speak to Lauren and Sommer about your feelings." Tony said. "But Lauren is out with Blake and she's really happy. It's the happiest she's been since she saw me with Sommer." "You need to try." Tony said. "What if I do tell Lauren I like her and what do I do if she doesn't feel the same way? I can't lose my best friend again." I said, burying my head in my hands.

It was silent for a moment.

"Tayler, Lauren does like you." Ondreaz spoke up. "Oh yeah? And how would you know?" I asked, my head still in my hands. "When me and Lauren went out for breakfast, she told me she liked you. She saw you and Sommer together and she felt heart broken. She wanted to move on from you and Blake said he would help her. They've not slept together or anything before you ask." Ondreaz told me. I felt a smile appear on my face. "How long has she liked me?" I asked, looking at him. "Since you guys were kids."

I felt so happy. We have both liked each other for years and neither of us could admit it. I know we are meant to be together.

"So what are you going to do?" Tony asked. "I want to see if I have a chance with Lauren and I can't do that if Sommer is around." I replied. Their faces lit up. "Dude I'm so happy for you." Tony said. "Just don't hurt her Tay. She's like my little sister and I can't stand to see her hurt again." Ondreaz said, sternly. I nodded.

Lauren was close with Ondreaz and I knew he would do anything to protect her.

I text Sommer asking her to come round to the house. Thankfully she agreed to come. "Hey." I smiled. "Can we talk?" She said blankly.

Shit. I know what's about to happen.

We walked up to my room. "What's up?" I asked. "Tayler I can't do this. I can't be in a relationship with you when you're crazy about Lauren. I'm not being second best." She said. I looked down. It was like she read my mind. "That's why you wanted me to come round today, wasn't it." "I didn't mean to lead you on. I never thought about my feelings for Lauren until everyone started mentioning it." I confessed.

Her phone buzzed on my bed. I looked down and I was shocked at the name on the screen. "Who's your number 1 boy?" I asked. Sommer looked so guilty. I've been in this situation before, many of times. "How long have you been cheating on me?" I felt my blood boil. Sommer stayed silent. "I'm glad we're over. I want you out." I raised my voice, slightly. "Don't mess things up with Lauren." She said, before leaving my room.

Why am I so mad that she cheated on me? I mean we weren't official but I thought at that time I meant something to her.

I shook the thought of Sommer out of my head and I focused on Lauren. I hope things go the way I want.
