I ignored Tobias and walked past him to the bathroom.
"Brooklyn," I continued ignoring him. Tobias took a step towards me and I flinched.
"Brooklyn!" Tobias said, latching onto my wrist.
I wrenched away from him, but Tobias's grip grew tighter.
"Let go of me," I whispered, clenching my jaw.
"Brooklyn, just hear me out." Tobias said, pulling me to him.
I stumbled. "Let go of me." I said louder, my breaths becoming quicker.
"Brooklyn, just lis-"
"Let go of me!" I screeched, wrenching my wrist from Tobias's death grip.
"Brooklyn what's wrong?" Taylor asked, bursting through the pool doors. He froze, starring at us.
"Who's this?" Taylor asked, coming up behind me. He put his hand on the small of my back. I leaned into him, shielding myself from Tobias.
"This is my ex-boyfriend, Tobias." Taylor strengthened his grip on my waist.
Taylor looked between us. "Why did you..." He trailed off.
"He cheated on me with my ex-bestfriend." I glared at Tobias.
"Brooklyn, I just want to talk." Tobias said, reaching for me. I shrunk into Taylor.
"She doesn't want to go talk to you. Just leave her alone."
Tobias put his hands up in defeat. "I'm in room 412 if you change your mind."
"I won't." I turned to Taylor, our hands brushing.
"Thanks." I whispered, playing with the string on my bathing suit.
"Anything for you," Taylor said, stepping closer to me.
"Are you..." He stopped in his tracks, flexing his jaw. "Are you okay?" I didn't answer, and he didn't wait for me to. His hands grabbed my arm. He caressed the growing bruise that Tobias had made on my wrist.
"What's going on out here..." Someone said. We flew apart and I blushed. Taylor scratched his head and walked back to the pool.
"I, uh actually had to pee..." I said to no one. I walked slowly to the bathroom. Once the door closed, I leaned against it. Gah! What does he make me feel so giddy. I remembered the feel of his hands on my arm, gentle and loving...
"No." I ran my hands through my hair and pushed my feelings for Taylor away.

Brooklyn: I don't like him!
Parker: *scoffs* Yeah right!
