So, I'm finally back in town with my laptop and internet! Sorry I couldn't post this past week or so!
I just wanna say that I believe that I said Ryder, Matt's son, is one (if I didn't let's pretend I did!) .
Also I hope y'all enjoy this chapter! I will do my best to post as much as possible and I know I say that all the time, but I've had a busy summer so far! I PROMISE i am trying my best to post more and longer chapters! Y'all just tell me if y'all want longer chapters! I'm writing for you not me!
If you are reading my story 'The Aftermath' I'm gonna try and update it ASAP! Hopefully later tonight! I didn't get to write over the week I was gone like I was hoping.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO RYAN, TAYLOR, KAYSON, OR RYDER, BUT I DID MAKE THEM UP!
Gabby had just got done having her talk with Matt, she told him everything that happened in high school. She told him even though she knew that it might ruin their relationship. But she couldn't lie to him anymore, he now knew her past all of it, the good and the bad. She was now walking into the house to check on Kayson, who was with Ryan and Kelly. Really she knew he was okay, but she needed an excuse to get away from Matt. Anything would do at this point. She didn't tell people that didn't know about her high school life, her high school life.
She walked into the common room to find Taylor, Kelly, Ryan, and the whole gang.
"Hey guys" she said
"Hey" replied everyone, but Taylor.
"Just to give you a heads up, Matt know's everything. And he's mad." Gabby said
Taylor jumped up. "You told him? How dare you! That wasn't you're place." Taylor said
"Oh really?! Cause I think you tried to ruin my life before I ruined yours." Gabby said
"Yea Gabby, I tried and it worked for a couple weeks, but then your were on top beating me at EVERYTHING, homecoming queen, cheer, whatever I tried to do. You got the captain of the football team and everybody loved you all the sudden. I was a nobody all of the sudden because of what you did." Taylor said
"Yea, well as I recall you started it. And if it makes you feel anybody I think Matt's more mad at me than he is at you. And you know what don't make sense.? Senior year I came to you and tried to say sorry. You just ignored me. You never tried to say sorry to me, never grew up. I tried Taylor, I really did, mostly because I wanted Matt and I to continue our relationship, but I see that ain't gonna work. So, I'm gonna tell you what I told him, if I could go back and change what I did, I would. But I can't do that so if your still mad at me your just gonna have to stay mad at me too." Gabby said
"Exactly, you can't take back what you did, you hurt me." Taylor said
"And you think you didn't hurt me?!" Gabby asked
"I should kick your ass right now." Taylor said
"You know what bring it on cause you are one person I ain't scared of." Gabby said
At this point Kelly jumped up.
"I think that's enough. There are kids here. YOUR kids. Gabby let's go" Kelly said taking Gabby by the arm.
"I ain't going anywhere if she wants to fight I will fight her. I don't know if you noticed but I don't back down easily." Gabby said
"oh, I've noticed. But this is something your gonna have to back down from. Kayson's watching, come on Gabs you don't want to do this. I'm not gonna let you do this." Kelly said standing in between her and Taylor.
Gabby noticed Matt standing at the doorway of the common room. She wanted to have a relationship with him. He had became like a brother to her, and she knew this wasn't the way to do it.
"You know what fine, but if she says something to me and Kayson's not around, I don't care what you have to say Kelly." Gabby said still mad. Walking out of the common room she shoulder checked Matt who was standing there watching it all. She didn't know why he didn't say anything to them. He would be most affected by this losing the 2 most important women in his life, as he had called them before. Then again she wasn't even sure he was mad at Taylor, so he may just be losing her.
"Taylor we need to talk." Matt said from the doorway.
"What for?" Taylor tried to act like she had no clue what he was talking about.
Matt gave her a look that said 'you know what'. And she got up and left the common room. Knowing she wasn't gonna be able to put it off.
In the conference room
"So?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was scared you night not wanna be with me if you knew what I did in high school."
"Taylor you've changed since high school, or at least I thought you had. After seeing what I just saw, I'm not so sure. Trying to start a fight with Gabby?"
"Oh, so you're gonna be on her side now? She was gonna fight back."
"If someone said they were gonna kick my ass I would fight back too. But she walked away."
"Yea, because Kelly made her."
"She still walked away. Then you tried to play dumb when I said we needed to talk."
"i was trying to get out of it."
"Yea, I could tell."
"So, where does this leave us?" she asked scared of the answer he might say.
"I don't know where this leaves us. Maybe we should take a break a while. See what happens."
"But you're still gonna talk to her."
"Gabby tried to say sorry, she did. You refused. You started the fight in the common room. Not her. So yea, I may talk to her see what she has to say. But at least I can say she told me the truth, she wants to take back what she did, put all this stuff behind y'all, but you won't let her. As for Ryder, you get him when I'm on shift?"
"You know what? The only reason I wanted kids was because of you. That's the only reason I kept him, so how about you get him all the time? I'll be by the house to pick my things up later."
"Taylor he's one. He needs a mom." Casey said as the bells rang and Taylor went the other way.
What was he gonna do now? He knew how to take care of his son, but could he do it by himself? Who was gonna keep Ryder while he was on shift. He was gonna have to figure it out. Maybe he could talk to Dawson, see where Kayson goes.
'I can do this' 'I can do this' he kept telling himself on the way to the scene.
