Chapter 1

*Hayley's POV*

3 years had passed. We had already released our fourth studio album, another live DVD and we were in the process of currently writing our fifth.

Things had been broken between Chad & I. We were still good friends though. We were engaged but called it off, Chad's label had other plans for New Found Glory which meant we were going to hardly see each other. He could've easily quit the band, but he had been in this for so long, I understood his motives. I guess that was okay though, I wasn't quite ready on getting married just yet. I was only just 25. We were still going to see each other from time to time though, which was great. I guess it was all okay since I had my Taylor, Jeremy, my friends and my family and our fans by my side.

*Taylor's POV*

Oh. Oh, just oh. Wow! What a year this has been. We've pretty much played sold-out live shows everywhere, and we were currently in the process of writing our fifth studio album. We had also recruited Justin on board as the rhythm guitarist for Paramore, and Jon still played as a touring member. I wasn't the best drummer in the world, that's why I didn't want the full-time position. I wanted to keep playing guitar. We didn't need a drummer to be successful in my opinion.

Anyway the album was coming along fine, we were halfway done! Just awaiting the lyrics from Hayley to the recent demo I've just written. I also wrote some, but I thought they weren't honestly that good. I shall however propose them to Hayley later, intrigued to see her opinion on them.

Hayley and Chad had also gotten engaged over the summer. My heart seriously sank, although I was meant to be happy for Hayley which I was. I had loved Hayley secretly deep down for so long for all those years, and still did love her. She'd recently broken up with Chad and eh it made me a little upset. Why? Because Hayley seemed upset.

It was getting late. I thought I'd give Hayley a little call to check up and see how she was doing. I dialled her number. She picked up. "Uh, hello?" She answered.

"Hayley! Hi!" I said, in an excited tone.

"Oh Taylor! It's only you. I wondered who was calling at this hour. Couldn't have been my Family because I told them not to call past 10pm and Jeremy usually calls in the daytime unless it's important." She said, with a relieved tone.

"Yeah ah I just wanted to check up on you. How are you? How's everything? You know... I don't mind. My parents are out. Justin's the only one here. You could maybe come sleep at mine?" I generously offered.

"I'm not sure. It's quite late. I'm fine, thank you for asking. You're the sweetest best friend a girl could possibly ask for."

My heart just started beating so fast. Aww. I loved Hayley, and now she was single I wanted to make her my girlfriend.

"Ah yes, that's great then! No problem! Friends look out for other friends, that's the way it's meant to be! Okay, take care. Good night Hayles." I said to her, and as soon as she said good night, I shut the phone.

Well then, it was great to know she was fine. That meant I could finally sleep. Her house wasn't so far anyway; I could always go check on her if she needed me or something.

I thought I'd finish up this last demo I was in the middle of. Once I'd done that, I turned off my computer, put away my guitar and slipped on some pyjamas so I can go to sleep. I slid into bed, and shut my eyes to go to sleep.
