Taylors POV;

Jeremy and I both sat with her while she read it. I had her tiny hand in mine, squeezing it when it got to the harder parts. I read it again, to make sure it was real.

My brother Justin had text me earlier in the morning telling me to get online as fast as I could because there was something I needed to see. He said he had found out about their statement through Twitter and our fans were going insane. I don't see how Josh could do that to them, to involve people who support and love us. Those are the people we call family. You don't do that to your family.

After Hayley had finished reading it she sat back and stared at the screen for a moment. Jeremy and I looked at each other and then to her, trying to read her expression. She looked hurt and betrayed. Broken. We all were, but it hit her harder because she and Josh used to date and most of that statement was aimed at her. I don't know how anyone could do that. There wasn't a single hateful bone in her body. She is the most amazing person I have ever known.

She turned her head to look at me with tears building up in her eyes.

The look on her face at this moment shattered me.

I want to take her somewhere, somewhere far from here. I couldn't stand to see her like this. My free hand tensed up into a fist.

A sudden burst of anger washed over me. Why did he do this? Did he want everyone to turn on her?

"Tay, you alright?" she asked, looking worried.

I looked at her, composed myself and smiled. I didn't want her worrying about me.

"Yeah, but I'm quite pissed off to be honest. But who cares about me. How could he do this to you?"

I give an apologetic look to Jeremy because he was mentioned as well but he gives an understanding nod. Right now our main focus was Hayley.

"I didn't know I was that bad. You guys should've said something!" Jeremy and I both begin to object but stop when we hear her giggle.

She looked at Jeremy and gave him a weak smile, resting her head on his shoulder, her hand still locked tight to mine. We sat like that for some time.

Jeremy and Hayley had fallen asleep on the couch so I get up and stand in the kitchen and stare out the window. What are we supposed to do now? Just take it and act like nothing happened? As soon as that thought passes through my mind, Hayley's home phone starts ringing. I look over at her and Jeremy to see if the noise had woken them up but it hadn't. They needed sleep since I had the displeasure of waking them up early with horrible news.

"Hello? Hayley's place." I say bluntly.

"Hey, Taylor? It's Chad. Is Hayley there, I just heard what happened. Can I talk to her, is she alright? I think she turned off her cell."

"Um, she's actually asleep right now. She seems to be taking it well, but I don't know. It will probably be better if you come over."

"Okay, I'll be over soon."

"Kay." I lazily say, and hang up.

I didn't want him coming around. This was an issue between the band. Yeah, he would be some comfort for Hayley but I wanted to be the one to do that. I know her better than he does. I have loved her longer than he has.
