[Taylor]
I honestly thought we'd had alone time, but since the concert incident three days ago, Hayley had barely talked to me, even on stage. The photo hadn't been released, not after Hayley had a word to the fan that took the photo, but I honestly didn't think that they would delete it. Our personal lives were in that person's hands, and they knew it. I honestly didn't know what was going on, I thought maybe Hayley would tell at least someone else, but no. It was almost as if she was ashamed to be with me now or something.
I decided that maybe after 3 days, she'd want to talk to me, so I decided to go to her room in the motel after talking to Justin for a bit. Even he said I should talk to her...so I did. I walked down the hall to her room and knocked on the door, I felt my stomach tie up in knots, but as soon as she answered the door, it all fell away. She was standing there, so perfectly.
She grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the living space of her room. She then proceeded to sit me down and sit on my lap. At first I felt as if she was going to break up with me, but I doubt she'd be that harsh and dump me within a week. Instead, she kissed me. I moved my hands to her waist and she didn't object at all, instead she put her arms around my neck and pulled me closer. That continued for a few minutes, until she pulled away.
"Taylor, I need to tell you something," she said, and that twisted feeling in my gut came through again. I opened my mouth to speak, but instead she put my hand over my mouth. I looked down to her hand and obviously the look on my face had to be funny, because she laughed.
"Taylor, I know it may seem too soon, but..."
[Hayley]
I just had to get it off of my chest; there wasn't much else I could do but that. He was so special to me and I was kind of scared to get up the nerve to tell him, but after 5 days? Was that actually the right thing to do? I was kind of scared that he was going to take it the wrong way, but I knew that as soon as I saw him in my doorway, that I had to tell him. I was such an idiot to be thinking these things over and over. Ever since that photo was taken of us at the concert three days ago, I had to tell him something.
But ugh, it still felt wrong. My stomach was in knots, so many thoughts going through my head. He sat there, waiting for the end of my sentence. I could either let it go and have things going the way they were, or I could tell him and possibly screw things up majorly between us. I was going to have to say it one day, maybe today was the day. I grabbed his hands and slid my fingers through his. I knew this was the right moment to tell him, that was it.
"Taylor, I know it may seem too soon, but, how do I say this? You're amazing and I really don't want to screw things up," I said. Ahh shit, I'd said it the wrong way.
I saw Taylor's face start to look puzzled, "Hayley, are you trying to break up with me?" he asked.
I laughed, he looked even more confused. "No, Taylor, I'm not," I said. My stomach tightened up.
"Taylor, I love you."
