A/N- This is another Chaylor story. I'm sorry but I love Chaylor so much I can't help it. This is my first attempt at a story like this. This is rated M for sexual content and abuse. If you can't handle sad things then you probably shouldn't read this. Other than that enjoy:
Taylor was sitting in her room doing her hair and make-up getting ready for her date with Chad. Chad was her boyfriend of three years. She was lost in a translation of thoughts when her step dad came in drunk.
"What are you doing?" her step dad Paul slurred.
"I was getting ready for my date," she said shaking.
"Not when the dishes aren't done," he said moving closer to her.
"I-It's Tan'Zania's night to d-do the dishes," Taylor stuttered.
"Why are you lying on your sister you know it is your turn!" He yelled causing her to almost fall out of her chair.
"Sir, I'm not lying it is her night. I did them yesterday remember," she said.
"Why are you talking back?" he said slapping her across the face.
Taylor rubbed her stinging face. She looked at him silently pleading with her eyes to let her off. She knew it wasn't happening. She started to walk out of her room when Paul hitting her in the back of the head with so much force her face banged into the wall. She then ran downstairs with tears dripping down her face.
"What happened?" her sister asked.
"You know exactly what happened," Taylor says angrily while rinsing a plate.
"That's what you get for not doing the dishes," Tan'Zania says smartly.
"You know it was your night!" Taylor screams accidentally dropping a bowl on the floor letting it shatter to pieces.
"Oh my that's not my good China is it," Joanna, her mother, says running into the kitchen.
"I'm sorry mom," Taylor says.
"How hard is it to keep a dish in your hands Taylor," her mom says picking up the pieces and throwing them in the trash.
"It wasn't even my night," Taylor says starting to cry again.
"I know sweetie, I know but one day we'll get out of this mess," Joanna said hugging her daughter.
"Can I still go on my date with Chad tonight?" Taylor asked.
"Yes, I'll make sure you can go," Joanna says.
"Thanks mom," she says hugging her mother.
"I'll be gone on a business trip for the weekend, Tan'Zania will be at a sleepover, and your father has to work."
"So I'll have to house to myself," Taylor thought.
"Have fun on your date and see you Sunday night," her mom says grabbing the keys and leaving.
Taylor finishes up the dishes, puts on her shoes, and catches the bus faster than she ever has before. After having to sit by some stinky old man on the bus she runs into Jonny Rocker's five minutes late. She sees Chad sitting down at a booth with a milkshake looking worried.
"Hey Chad sorry I'm late," Taylor says.
"Oh hey I almost thought you weren't coming," Chad says knowing it was unusual for her to be late.
"The bus was late," Taylor says.
"Tay, what happened to your face?" Chad says putting his hand of the bruise Paul left.
Taylor had totally forgotten about it and she quickly made up an excuse, "Oh um my sister was playing basketball in the house and the ball hit me in the face."
Chad knew that a ball couldn't do that much damage but he just let it go.
"Well don't you want a milkshake or something?" Chad asked.
"No, I don't really have much of an appetite," Taylor says.
"That's too bad because we were going to Max & Erma's," he says.
"I think my appetite just came back," Taylor says.
"Ok let's go then," he says.
At Max & Erma's
They arrived at the restaurant and Chad parked his car.
"I've never been here before," Taylor said admiring the place.
"I have reservations for Danforth please," Chad said.
"Right this way please," the waiter said taking them to the back in a private room where it was decorating in pink and had a big banner that said "Happy Anniversary".
"You didn't have to do all this for me," Taylor says sitting down.
"But I did, I love you and this is what happens when the Danforth falls in love with the most beautiful girl in the world," Chad said kissing her hand.
"Aww you're so sweet," Taylor says blushing.
"Did I tell you that you looked very sexy tonight," Chad says.
"No you didn't but thanks. You look very handsome yourself," Taylor said.
Taylor had on an ivory and black medallion print Hot Kiss dress and black metallic mesh ankle-strap sandals with glitters and rhinestones on it.
Chad had on a yellow Hollister T-shirt with logo in navy blue and white, denim Hollister jeans, denim Hollister jacket, his signature black Burton belt with gold buckle, a black and gray Burton backpack, and plain white mid-cut air forces.
"Happy anniversary," Chad says handing Taylor a jewelry box.
She opened it up to reveal a diamond necklace with squiggled hearts on it. She put her hand up to her mouth and said, "Chad this is beautiful. You shouldn't have gone through all this trouble for me. I thought that we weren't going to exchange gifts this month," Taylor said.
"Well I had to get a little something, something for my girl," Chad said.
"I love you," Taylor said.
"I love you too," Chad said and then taking her face into his hands to give her a passionate kiss, they kissed for what seemed like a century until they noticed a waiter standing by the table. Chad looked up and said, "Can I help you?"
"What would you like to drink?"
"Can I get your Blue Hawaiian drink, and what would you like babe," Chad said.
"I'll have the same," she said looking at the menu.
The waiter left and Taylor whispered, "What is the Blue Hawaiian drink?"
Chad laughed and said, "Just taste it you'll think it's really good."
The waiter came back a couple minutes later with their drinks. "Would you like to have an appetizer?" the waiter said.
"Yes, can I have your Tropical Stacked Salad," Taylor said.
"And I'll have the Tropical Salmon please," Chad said. "Mmm this drink is good," Taylor said.
"I told you," Chad said.
"Look who's here," Taylor says pointing toward a couple in the next room.
"Troy and Gabriella. This is Troy's favorite place to eat. I should have known he would bring Gabriella here," Chad said disappointed.
"Did you not want them to be here?" Taylor said.
"No, not really because I wanted it to be just you and me. We never really get any alone time. You don't come to my house much and I've never even been to yours. At school you and Gabriella do nothing but hang out. Where is the us in this relationship?" Chad said.
"I'm sorry Chad. I didn't know that you felt this way. We can spend a little more time together I guess," Taylor said.
Chad smiled and so did Taylor. "Do you mind if I go and say hi to Gabriella?"
"No, go right ahead," Chad said.
Taylor comes back 15 minutes later leaving Chad to wait patiently on his own.
"Took long enough," Chad said annoyed when he saw Taylor returning.
"Sorry," Taylor said.
"So Chad have you ever tried the Tropical dinners from here?" Taylor asked.
"No Taylor I haven't," Chad said meanly.
"What made you get it this time?" Taylor asked.
"I just wanted to try it!" Chad screamed, "Gosh Taylor why do you ask so many damn questions?"
"Sorry," Taylor said with tears welling up in her eyes.
Chad noticed and tried not to feel bad but he saw the hurt in her eyes and couldn't help but to feel stupid.
Taylor looked into his eyes but didn't see a bit of apology. She got up and started to walk away but Chad got up and grabbed her by her waist before she could leave. Taylor knew he was mad and she knew what her dad did to her when he got mad and she didn't want her own boyfriend to do it. She started to scream but Chad picked her up and covered her mouth. He was trying to calm her down but she was too busy trying to break loose from his grip to notice.
Chad still had a firm hold on her so she tried to kick him. It didn't work so she bite his hand that was covering her mouth and punched him in the eye causing him to drop her and clutch his eye. She got as far away from him as she could in the room.
"Tay why did you hit me," Chad said softly "I'm sorry I yelled at you."
She was still trying to figure out whether he was sincere or whether it was a trap so he could beat her ass.
He started to get up and walk toward her and she started to back up. As he walked closer she backed further back until she stepped down on a step and tripped and fell. As soon as she fell Chad ran to her and picked her up to make sure she was okay.
"You okay Tay," Chad said.
"Yeah I'm okay," Taylor said.
"What is up with you today? Why are you acting so strange?" Chad asked.
"Sorry it's just that I thought you were going to hit me," Taylor replied with tears running down her face.
"Taylor I would never want to do anything to hurt you. I never have even thought about laying a hand on you," Chad said hugging her.
"See look Troy I told you they were here," Gabriella said until she noticed them.
"Maybe this isn't the best time Gabriella," Troy said grabbing her hand.
"No it's okay I want to talk to Gabriella anyway," Taylor said.
With Taylor and Gabriella
Taylor had dragged Gabriella into the bathroom so they could talk.
Gabriella said, "What was going on back there?"
"I TOTALLY MESSED OUR WHOLE ANNIVERSARY UP!" shouted Taylor.
"GIRL WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?" shouted Gabriella, "Now calm down and tell me what happened."
"Okay so you know when I came back from talking to you Chad was all annoyed and yelled at me. Then I started like thinking about my dad and stuff and freaked out and started screaming and punching Chad and stuff," Taylor exclaimed.
"Girl don't worry Chad is nothing at all like your dad," Gabriella said.
"I know but I get tensed every time he gets mad at me. Things aren't any better either. Tan'Zania doesn't do anything but try to get me in trouble. He gets a chance to hit me at least once a day. Like today it wasn't even my turn to do the dishes but I still had to and he hit me," Taylor said sadly.
"Soon you'll be able to move at and be away from that mess," Gabriella said worrying about her friend.
"I know but it just isn't happening soon enough," declared Taylor applying more make-up to her swollen face.
"Did I tell you your outfit was cute Tay?"
"No but thanks yours is the bomb too." Gabriella was wearing a sea green Hot Kiss mesh dress and brown Hollister braided sandals.
With Troy and Chad
"So what is up with you and Taylor," he said.
"Hey can I get a refill," Chad called after the waiter, "I don't know she scares me sometimes."
Troy broke into his favorite line from the Sir Mix-A-Lot rap classic, "Even white boys got to shout, Baby got back!" They both burst out laughing, "I know but what we have is more than that and she acts weird sometimes which freaks me out," Chad said.
Troy had started eating some of Chad's food because him and Gabriella hadn't eaten yet, "But did you see that big bruise across her face?"
"Yeah I did." Chad snatched his food from Troy.
Troy shook his head, "Taylor isn't the type to get into a fight. She might have another boyfriend who beats her."
"That would explain her never being able to do anything with me," Chad thought.
The girls were coming back and Gabriella was ready to continue her date with Troy. She talked directly into Troy's ear to make sure she heard him when she said she was ready.
"Hey you don't have to scream in my ear," Troy snapped, "I'm not deaf!"
"Sorry for disturbing your date." Gabriella pulled Troy's ear as they walked away.
"Hey Chad." Taylor took a seat.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure Chad."
"Are you cheating on me?"
Taylor's jaw dropped because she couldn't believe he was asking such a question. "No I'm not cheating on you why would you even think such a thing?"
"Because you never have any time to spend with me. Every time I ask you to hang out after school you make up an excuse saying you have to pick something up from you dad or you have to go straight home."
"Chad you have to trust me. I am not cheating on you. Those aren't just excuses they are the truth."
"Well then how did you get the bruise on your face," Chad sighed, "I know you covered it back up but I saw it Tay."
"Uh, my uh sister hit me in the face with one of her um… toys."
Chad was confused because earlier she told him she got hit in the face with a basketball.
"Can I take your order?" the waiter asked.
"Yeah can I have your Jerk Chicken Wings?" Chad said.
"I'll have the Jerk Pork Chops."
"Will that be all?"
"Yeah"
They spent the rest of the meal talking about the drama at school. Never again did they mention what happened earlier that day, the bruise, or cheating.
After they finished their meal
Coincidently they all finished their date at the same time. The girls went outside while the boys paid the bill. Unfortunately Troy was having some problems with his credit card.
"Is everything okay?" Gabriella shouted even though she knew what was going on.
"Yeah everything's peachy!" Gabriella heard Troy shout from inside.
"Okay good I'm going to stay out here and talk to Taylor a little," Gabriella told him.
Taylor was sitting on a bench alone looking pretty sad.
"Hey," Gabriella spoke softly after seeing the expression on her face.
"Hey," Gabriella pulled her up and they started to walk around talking about Taylor's situation with her dad and Chad. Gabriella was the only one who knew what her dad did to her except for her mother and sister. She told no one in fear they would report what was going on. Her dad threatened her saying if she told anyone he would kill her mother. He wasn't even her real dad. He was just the man his mother married while mourning for her real father who was killed in a car accident.
"So you think you'll be okay?" Gabriella wrapped her arm around her friends shoulder.
"Gabi, at this point I really don't know." Gabriella looked at her curiously. "The beatings are starting to get worse. He went from only drinking on the weekends to everyday now. He's on the verge of loosing his job. My mother's working two jobs to pay the rent and he only spends his money on liquor. Tan'Zania is being nothing but a brat. She tries to get me in trouble as much as she can. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to handle it. Sometimes after he beats me I feel like I'm going to die. I'm still in pain from a couple days ago when he almost killed me." Taylor sat down and starting bawling her eyes out.
Gabriella couldn't imagine what she was going through. It hurt her so much to know her best friend was being hurt so badly by someone in her own house. "I'm sorry Tay."
"Is everything okay?" Chad said seeing that Taylor was crying. Taylor smiled, "Yeah everything's cool."
"Then why were you crying?" "I'm just happy that you thought of me enough to do all of this for me."
Chad wasn't buying it but he didn't object seeing she was already upset.
"I'm ready to go now," Taylor squeezed his hand knowing that she wasn't ready to go back to the hell whole of the place she called home.
Chad and Taylor walked hand in hand to his car.
"Just drop me off down the street. I'm going to get the bus home," Taylor said nervously.
"I'm not taking you home. We're going to my place," Chad said.
"No, I want to go home." She did want to go to Chad's but she didn't want to get in trouble.
"My parents went on a cruise for their anniversary, Alexander is at the babysitters, and Romero is going to be hanging with his friends and even if he did come home he wouldn't do anything but get some food or something and leave. We'll have the whole place to ourselves with no interruptions."
Taylor had to admit that it sounded like a luxury trip to his mansion and her dad would be so drunk he wouldn't even notice her gone. "Alright but I have to be home by Sunday afternoon."
"Okay, that's what I'm talking about. I hope you're ready for the best weekend of your life," Chad said as he sped down the road in his convertible candy paint Cadillac with the 24's.
