A/N - IMPORTANT. The first part is like a flash back setting. After the (-) its going to be present time so it'll be set in February. Please remember during this slight change that it's still only fanfiction so some of the events that will take place won't have took place or won't take place this month. I just wanted to let you all know because one or two readers have messaged me about the lack of realism. Seriously I think the fanfiction tag and the disclaimer at in the book description was very informative of the fact it's not real!

And this is A TWO PART CHAPTER. THIS PART IS ENTIRELY TAYLOR'S POV. THE NEXT PART WILL BE ENTIRELY KARLIE'S POV.

"Hello?" The thick British accent echoed through the phone. "Taylor?"

"Yeah it's me, I want to know why you was being so cold to me last night, you had no right to act the way you did with me Ed." I spoke without thinking and quickly put my mind over my mouth. Regretting how harsh I had made that sound. I mean I didn't tell him and he is one of my best friends, so I only have myself to blame for it.

"I'm sorry, I was shocked. After everything that happened with Harry, I didn't want you to get hurt again Tay. I care about you, like how sure are you that Karlie won't hurt you too?" the strong accent filled with concern.

I was cut off from replying, by the very pale looking girl who had suddenly appeared in front of me. "Ed, she won't she's different. I'm sorry I have to go. Text me or something."

"What's wrong Kar you look awful, sorry but you do." I whispered, looking into her now pale green tear filled orbs, holding her steady motioning her towards the bed. "My career is over." I was confused by what she meant, she was only meant to be telling her agent she was pregnant and engaged. "Karlie, what do you mean? Your career can't end that quickly."

Karlie's quiet sobs echoed the room, I wrapped my arms tightly around her slender frame trying to calm her down. Her hair getting damper from more tears streaming down her prominent jawline. "My agent quit, do you know how hard it was for me to find an agent?" Karlie's sobs now causing her to hiccup in between her words. I handed her a box of tissues, rubbing her back a little more than before. Seeing my fiancée crumbling in front of my eyes broke my heart, "I will help you find a new agent we have five months to find a new one. Don't you worry your pretty little mind."

The piercing light through the curtains woke me from my deep slumber, pain shooting through my head which caused me to suddenly remember what happened last night. The argument between Karlie and I. I slowly lifted my head up to look around to actually remember where I ended up, the brightness didn't help me remember much more because I couldn't see much. I wasn't at a place I recognised. I was on someones lumpy couch, with beer bottles and red plastic cups covering me and the floor.

A figure stood over me and a voice I recognised snapped me out of my daze. "Morning sleepyhead! So you want to tell me why you drove all the way to Indiana in the middle of the night to see your little brother and trash his apartment." The loudness in his voice made my head hurt worse.

My throat was burning, and dried out so it took me a while to choke out my words after a coughing fit. "Austin? Please enlighten me on what happened when I got here?"

Austin climbed over the mess, garbage bag in hand throwing the empty beer bottles that were covering me into the bag. Frowning at me before sitting on my legs. "You don't remember? You came here saying Karlie was blaming you for her career being ruined, said something about having a big fight and then all my friends came over, got you drunk and well the rest I am unsure of..." Shaking my head at him I pulled my legs from under him, he was hiding something I knew him too well and he forgets that. When I finally got to my feet, I saw that the spare bedroom door was open. One of Austin's friends was passed out on the bed. Naked. Then it hit me what could have happened last night and guilt overwhelmed me making me want to throw up. Turning back to Austin who was still cleaning up the mess I knew what he was hiding from me. All I could remember from last night was dancing with the very guy who was naked on the spare bed. "Austin! Please tell me I didn't sleep with your friend! I can't have cheated on Karlie, you know how much I hate cheaters"

The silence from Austin was crippling me, my brother was doing this on purpose. Knowing full well that Karlie is going to leave me if I slept with someone else, even if it was a drunken mistake that I didn't even remember.

"No, Marc stripped last night for everyone not that we wanted to see that and then he passed out naked on the bed and you some how had fallen asleep on the bedroom floor fully clothed. Thank God, because I had to carry you into here. I don't think you would have done anything even if that wasn't the case because you told him several times that you are engaged."

Quickly grabbing my bag and heels I ran out, to go fix things with Karlie. Relieved that I hadn't made a huge mistake. "Well thanks for helping me clear up Tay! I will remember that next time you want a cat sitter." Austin yelled before I fully got out of the door.
