"Roger, what do you mean you can't come this weekend? You canceled last week too." Taylor argued sitting on her bed.

"I'm sorry Baby, Jerry's got us playing this new club this weekend. Maybe you can come here this weekend." he suggested sitting on the floor against his bed.

"I can't. My dad has chemo tomorrow and my mom needs me to help her with him this weekend." she said with tears in her eyes.

"Taye, I'm sorry. I really want to see you. You have no idea how much I miss you." he said running his fingers through his short cropped blond hair.

"I can come next weekend." she said looking up at the pictures of her and Roger in her apartment.

"So can I. This week is just no good Baby. But I'll call you after the show." he said looking up at the picture of him and Taylor that was on his nightstand.

"OK Baby. I'll talk to you later, OK?" she said sadly.

"I love you Taye." he said semi smiling at the picture.

"I love you too Roger." she said before they hung up the phone. It had been 6 months since the tour ended and they tried to see each other ever month, but with Roger's band and Taylors father, they had to cancel more than once. It was getting really hard on them not seeing each other for a couple of months. Taylor just laid on her bed and cried. She missed Roger so much and really wanted to be with him. She was afraid this wasn't working. As much as they loved each other, they couldn't keep going on like this. She couldn't keep going on like this.

"Taylor, are you OK?" Mrs. Kelly asked entering the apartment.

"Roger's not coming this weekend mom. He has to play a club." she cried as Mrs. Kelly rushed over to the bed.

"Oh sweetie. I'm sorry. Do you want to go see him?" Mrs. Kelly asked rubbing her back.

"You need me to help you with dad." Taylor said looking up at her.

"I can have your aunt come and help me. You need to see Roger." she said looking down at her.

"Really?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yeah sweetie. Go to New York and see Roger." she said smiling down at her.

"Thanks mom." Taylor said sitting up to hug her.

"No problem sweetie." she said hugging her daughter tight.

"Taylor, what are you doing here? I thought you had to help your mom with your dad." Mark said opening the door finding Taylor on the other side.

"My mom called my aunt to help her so I can come and watch Roger perform." she said smiling at him. "Is he here?" she asked looking around.

"No, he's at rehearsal. He should be back in a little while to start getting ready for the show. He's gonna be really happy you're here." he said hugging her.

"Mark, can I talk to you before Roger gets home, please?" she asked looking up at him.

"Sure. What's the matter Taylor?" he asked as they sat on the couch.

"Do you think this is working? You know, the long distance thing with me and Roger?" she asked looking over at him.

"The truth?" he asked as she nodded. "No, I don't. It seems like you two are miserable." he said looking at her.

"I know. I mean, I love Roger, but I can't keep doing this. We've had to cancel so many weekends and it's really taking it's toll on us." she said quietly trying not to cry.

"I know you two love each other and you deserve to be together. But you guys really need to be together, you know what I mean?" he asked looking over at her.

"Yeah, I do Mark." she said as Roger came home.

"I'm gonna go get ready for the show." he said going to his room without looking up.

"Aren't you gonna say hi Baby?" Taylor said getting up off of the couch.

"Taye, what are you doing here?" he asked excitedly as he rushed over to pick her up.

"My aunt's gonna help my mom take care of my dad, so I could come here and see you perform." she said holding him tight.

"I missed you so much Taye." he said leaning back to kiss her over and over again.

"I missed you too Roger." she said kissing him back.

"I'll leave you guys alone." Mark said going into his room.

"Thanks Mark." Taylor said looking back at him as Roger still held her.

"I can't believe you're here. You have no idea how happy I am to see you." he said putting her down.

"My mom took pity on me. She saw me right after I got off the phone with you and said I needed to be here with you." she said holding his biceps with her hands.

"We should start getting ready to go to the club. Everyone is gonna be so excited to see you. They miss you." he said leaning down to kiss her.

"I miss them too." she said looking up at him before they went into the bedroom to start getting ready for the show.

"Taylor girl, I am so happy to see you. This boy here has been a mess without you." Collins said as they entered the club.

"I'm a mess without him too Collins." she said leaning up to hug him.

"Are you here for the whole weekend?" Maureen asked smiling at her.

"Yeah, I am." she said smiling at her as Roger took her back into his arms.

"My girl. You have your own." he pouted holding her tight.

"Yeah, but I don't get to see Taylor that often." Maureen teased smiling at them.

"There's enough of me to go around." Taylor said laughing at them.

"Yeah, but you're all mine." he said kissing her head.

"Rog, we gotta get in there." Andy said coming out of the club. "Hey Taylor. I didn't know you were coming this weekend." he said noticing her buried in Roger's arms.

"Yeah, well I know you guys can't dress yourselves. I figured you'd need some help. Or at least Roger does." she joked looking up at him laughing.

"You got that right Baby." he laughed as they went into the club.
