~Taylor's POV~

I was sitting in my room with Mariana and Jude painting each others nails before all of Stef and Lena's friends showed up for some party they were holding. Instead of managing to get out of the party everyone decided it would be good for Callie, Jude and I to go down and try to make some friends. Speaking of Callie, we haven't talked much since the night after the party. She wanted to figure things out before getting herself into anything, that I understood but she acted as if I wasn't around much anymore. "Hey buddy just take that off." Callie's voice breaks me from my trance as she spoke to Jude, who didn't look very happy about having to take the nail polish off. "Jude, it's fine I'll talk to her about it later." I whispered to him as Callie leaves the room. "It's fine, don't make her mad." Jude whispered. I silently nodded but was fuming inside. How could Callie have a problem with anything Jude choose to do? The kid has been as solid as a rock! For years! He deserved to have some fun for a week if he wanted to wear nail polish, I was going to talk to her later whether Jude wanted me to or not.

Lena called the three of us down guests began arriving and I decided to stay with Jude throughout the party. He was a star, charming all of Stef's and Lena's friends with a smile and a shy handshake. I rolled my eyes at him everytime he laughed walking away from one of the adults. "Taylor! Jude! Come here." Jesus motioned over to the corner. "Are you pretending to be a spy or something Jesus?" Jude questioned why the three of us were hiding in the corner. "You want out of this lame party?" He asked looking to me. Boy, did I ever want to leave, I hated being around this many people. "Yes." Jude said smiling. Why did he want to leave he was doing fine talking to people, though he hadn't even said a few words to Callie so I had a feeling that's what it was about. "Skatepark come on!" Jesus exclaimed. I laughed and told Callie I was stealing her brother for a few hours and ditching the party.

"Come on Jude!" I cheered him on. I was standing at the bottom of the ramp, Jesus at the top with Jude. He had decided he wanted to try and learn to skateboard today. Instantly I saw Jude's leg slip and the boy fall down the ramp in an unhealthy looking position. "Jude!" I cried out and the sound echoed the empty skatepark. Running up to him I see his arm move and breath quickly out of relief. "Jude! Are you alright?" I asking him slowly sitting him up and already examining him out for broken bones. "I'm alright." Jude said fighting back tears. I pulled him into a hug and looked up to Jesus, "Should we call Stef and Lena?" Jesus looked at me and shook his head, no. I nod understanding that it would cause too much havoc in the house, "You carry Jude, I grab the boards?" I knew the answer before Jesus and I began to pick Jude up and place him on Jesus' back.

I ran ahead to warn Stef and Lena about what had happened while Stef ran back with me to bring Jude in. I stood there watching Stef and Lena inspect all of Jude injuries as Callie walked down the stairs, "What the he... What happened Jude?" I stepped up, "Uh Callie let me explain." I blurted before she could say anything else. Stef nodded and herded the two of us and Jesus into the kitchen. "Jude fell he's alright. Jesus and Taylor took him to the skatepark but he's alright." Stef explained to Callie. Callie was glaring daggers at me, "Callie I'm sorry." I whispered. She continued to glare at me, "why did you let him?" At this I lost it, "He's a kid, you already ruined his fun when he wanted to wear nail polish so I thought I would let him have some fun while you weren't there to ruin it, maybe you should think of someone other than yourself for once!" I screamed. Jesus pulled me out of the room and up the stairs as Stef took Callie to talk to Jude.

"We should go downstairs before Jude worries." I huffed pulling away from Jesus' grip. "That was about you, not just Jude wasn't it?" Jesus questioned me. "No." I snapped and left down the stairs appearing behind Callie and Stef, with Jesus behind me as Jude questioned Callie about if she had yelled at Jesus and I.

~Callie's POV~

After assuring Jude that I hadn't yelled at Taylor and Jesus and giving him a quick hug I slipped up the stairs after Taylor. "Stef? Look I'm sorry I yelled at her alright, I just was worried about Jude." Taylor whispered without even turning around to see who was standing in the doorway. "It's not Stef." I whispered and she spun around, "Callie!" Taylor turned bright red, "I'm sorry." She whispered. I sigh, "Well stop being sorry all the time. No one has ever loved Jude as much as I have, probably never will and I tend to see the bad in people but you're right, he's a kid he should have some fun. I still don't want him to wear the nail polish though." Taylor's small smile made me smile, "Taylor." I don't know what else I wanted to say but I know I wanted to say her name. "Yes Callie?" Taylor giggles, "It's all because of Jude huh? The reason that we met and the reason we talked and the reason we fought, Jude is the reason for us." She whispered and I laughed, what was "us?"
