As soon as the show was over, Taylor walked off stage, put his guitar down and stormed off without even giving a second look to anyone. Hayley watched him leave raising her eyebrows. "What's wrong with him?"
The band and the crew shrugged, looked down, grabbed their phones, or did anything possible to avoid having to answer her. Justin awkwardly walked away, not wanting to get caught in the middle of whatever was happening between them. Hayley wanted, needed answers. "I'm gonna go talk to him!" Joey tried to stop her. "Maybe you should wait for him to...- but she didn't hear him because she already was out of the door. "... calm down..." He sighed deeply.
Once they were out of earshot, the band started discussing what just happened.
"Ok but did she seriously have to pick him of all the fans!" exclaimed Logan.
"Come on, she didn't mean anything by it ! He's over-reacting!"
"Ok, maybe the guy wasn't anything but honestly, she put him through a lot of shit, let's be real! I love her and I know it's beyond complicated between them and that it has been for a very long time but he had to reach his breaking point eventually!"
"You're not wrong there!"
I hope they're gonna work it out!
"They will, these two are made of another, it's about time they've realized it!"
Taylor was smoking outside feeling the anger rising up in him. Everytime he would close his eyes to try to calm down, he would see her dancing with him, smiling, blushing, unable to take her eyes off him and his stupid abs. What a jackass! Who parades around shirtless at a concert? And why of all people she chose to have him on stage? He took a deep breath trying to gather his thoughts and calm down, kicking himself for the way he had acted just now. Hayley saw him and walked up to him. He looked up hearing her footsteps.
"Taylor, are you ok?"
" Now is not really a good time Hayley!"
"What's going on?" She pressed, wanting to make sure he was okay, she had no idea what was happening.
"I told you to leave me alone!" His voice was getting louder and louder, he was trying to keep himself from screaming at her knowing it wouldn't solve anything. He looked up and saw the confusion in her eyes and sighed.
"Seriously Hayley, i can't talk right now!"
"Are you ok, do you want me to get Justin?" She was starting to get really worried.
"I said leave me the f-hell alone!" Well this time, he snapped! He had barely been able to hold the F-word from his tongue, he saw in the pain and the shock in her eyes that she had heard it in her heart even if she didn't hear it with her ears. He exhaled deeply.
"Fine! I'll leave you alone! " She walked back into the bus completely stunned by what had just happened leaving Taylor beating himself up even more now.
The band had heard everything.
"And here we go again!"
"Hey, let's go out tonight, to give them some space" Logan knew no one wanted to stay in the crossfire.
"Yeah, let's go!"
I'll stay, volunteered Justin. I want to call Jana and I'll check on Taylor in a little bit."
"Wait, she's coming back, I'll stay too, maybe she needs to talk!" added Joey.
"Alright!"
"Have fun guys!"
