Taylors POV

The next morning I slept in. The first event wasn't until tomorrow so we basically had a free day. I was so glad to sleep in, I wish I could just sleep all my problems away. Like Ali. Cuddling with her and just being with her made me feel complete, but the guilt was eating me alive. I knew I needed to fix this, but I just didn't know how. I need advice. I guess I'll ask Cameron, since he is the oldest and most experienced out of all of us. I called him.

"Hey Tay whats up?"

"Hey uh, could you come over? We gotta talk."

"Yeah sure," he said nervously. "Everything alright?"

"Yeah I just need some advice."

"Oh ok well, is 5 minutes good?"

"Yeah, see you then."

I hung up and sighed. I put on a shirt and waited for Cam to come.

Matt and Shawn were in the room next to me, probably still sleeping. I could check on them but I didn't feel like it, our rooms connected anyway.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to see he was here.

"Hey whats wrong?" He said coming in and sitting on the couch. I followed him.

"I did something...really, really, really bad."

He looked at me like he already knew.

"Taylor..."

"I dont know what to do." I said standing up, about to cry.

"Dude, okay so tell me exactly what happened."

"Ok well, we were at a party. I was catching up with some friends including my old girlfriend, Ashley, We got really intoxicated with this drink, it was so heavy. And before I knew it, it was morning and we were in my friends bed."

"Was it protected?"

I sighed and shook my head. "No."

"Dude..you're screwed. There is no good outcome to this situation. What if Ashleys pregnant?" He said whispering the last part.

"She took the test at my house, shes not. But ugh I dont know, I dont even know." I said repeating myself.

"Tell her. You need to. You may break up and that won't be good but you love her enough to be honest with her about this. So tell her."

He was right. "Ok, thanks Cam."

"You're welcome. Call me if you need anything else." He said getting up.

"I will." He then walked out leaving me alone in my room. I needed to tell her.

Matts POV

Oh my god. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I know I shouldn't have been snooping but this was Ali, I cared about her. Not only did I feel bad for her, but I was furious at Taylor for doing this. If I was with her this would never happen. She needed to know. But before I told her, I needed to confront Taylor. I ran out the door, looking for Cameron to talk to him about it. My pace sped up the more I thought of it. My train of thought was interrupted when I bumped into someone.

Ali.

"Hey Matt." She smiled.

I looked at her shocked. Like I wanted to speak but nothing came out.

Tell her, I thought.

"Look Ali, there something...something I-I-need to tell you."

"Is everything alright?"

"No. No its not. Something is wrong. Its-its Taylor."

Her face fell. "Is he okay?"

"No, hes not. And neither are you after I tell you this."

"What?" She asked.

"Taylor cheated on you Ali, okay? I overheard him and Cameron talking about it. He didnt know how to tell you. It was at a party over break, he hooked up with his ex and she may be pregnant. I'm so sorry Ali." I said hugging her.

She stood there emotionless. No tears, No words. She was speechless.

I pulled away once I noticed she didnt hug back.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"No." She said, smiling through her tears. "I'm fine."

"No you're not. You love him and he cheated on you. You're broken inside. What I told you is killing you. You don't even believe it, or at least you dont want to. You just want him to explain to you, but at the same time you dont even want to see his face." I said.

"How did you know?" She smiled weakly.

She was so strong, smiling when she actually wanted to die.

"Matthew," she said grabbing my hand. "You're so amazing. And I know that this hurt you--telling me. But thank you. I need a break from this all but I promise I'll be in touch." She said as a tear trickled down her face.

I looked at the girl I loved fall apart right in front of me. I could practically feel my heart shatter in a million pieces. I nodded and pulled her into another hug. She actually hugged back this time. After we were done, she sincerely smiled at me and walked away.

Alis POV

I couldnt handle this. Matt was enough and now Taylor. I thought he loved me. I loved him, so so much. This was a shot to the chest. I couldnt even express my feelings without hysterically crying and screaming. But I had to hold it in, for my sake.

Once I got back to our room, I sat on the bed waiting for Taylor. We needed to talk before I left.

I waited patiently for him, and he came.

I sat still as he walked through the door.

"Hey Al."

"I heard some news today. Turns out I didnt know how your break was. There were a few missing details that you forgot to mention." I said standing.

His face was priceless.

"Baby I was gonna tell you I just didnt know how-"

"I know." I said with my jaw clenched.

"I love you so much Alison." He said.

"No you dont," I laughed. "I dont fuck over people I love. You dont love me Taylor."

"Dont ever say that," he said getting mad. "I love you so much and one stupid mistake doesnt change that."

"No, it does Taylor. You cant say you love someone, then go off with someone else. Because when you love someone, they never leave your mind. And when you cheated on me I obviously wasnt on your mind. And its not just that, its the fact that you called me on the phone that night and told me you loved me. Its the feeling of love from you I got when you said that, and now its all just a lie. You're a lie, your love is a lie. This whole relationship is in a burning building and you're just trying to save yourself. Because you're selfish and inconsiderate, Taylor. And the Taylor I fell in love with is not like that. You dont care about me anymore, so please, please stop telling me you do." I said, tears sliding down my cheeks.

He didnt know what to say. I was done talking to him. My heart couldnt stand to look at him. I walked out of the room and tried to think of somewhere to go. But there were only so many places in Toronto.
