A/N: I'm a so sorry for the late update, but of course school was in the way -_-" Well I now present to you the next chapter. I hope you enjoy this one (:

The camping trip wasn't what we all expected to happen. We all didn't expect for all of us to be going home so early. We've only been at this camping site for only about 2 days when we should be here for a week. I guess things don't go the way you expect things to happen.

A few hours ago, everybody came back from the waterfall and we all calmly agreed that it'd be for the best if we all went home tonight since there was a bit of awkwardness and tension in the air. Mostly coming from Ashley of course who kept shooting daggers at me. And as for the awkwardness, it was coming from Taylor who also kept looking at me with mixed emotion written all over his face. This was too much to handle anyway. I needed to get out of here fast.

Good thing Penny and I wouldn't be riding with Mark, Derek, Terrence, Taylor, and Ashley. Penny called up a taxi to come and pick us up since she knew about my situation. As for the other people, they all left just a few minutes ago, driving away from us in Mark's van. Terrence had insisted on riding with Penny and me, but Penny told Terrence that she needed girl time with me. Gee, how was I so lucky to have a best friend like here?

I smiled at that thought and looked over at Penny who was giving me a weird look.

"What?" I asked, absently kicking the dirt around me with my shoes.

"Why are you smiling?" Penny asked.

I shrugged and said, "Because I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you."

Penny grinned and immediately pulled me into a tight hug. "Aw, thanks!"

"Yeah, yeah." I smiled. We pulled away from the hug when a light shined at us. Penny and I both squinted our eyes, trying to get a clear view as to what that light was. We finally realized it was our taxi that was coming to pick us up. Once the taxi was in front of us, we gathered all of our belongings and put them in the trunk of the taxi. Penny and I climbed into the taxi and told the taxi driver the directions to my house since Penny was going to be sleeping over at my house for the night. Once we were settled in the taxi and the taxi driver was humming to something on the radio, Penny slid the window closed so that Penny and I could talk since we didn't want the taxi driver listening to my personal problems especially if it involved Taylor. Who knows what this dude would say to paparazzi?

Penny turned to face me and said, "So, are you okay?"

I looked at her and shrugged. "I don't know Penny. I'm so confused."

Penny cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow. "Confused on what?"

"I don't know what to do with Taylor. I mean, I know we still love each other, but I told him that we couldn't go back to way it was before," I said.

"Marie, how would you know that you and Taylor can't go back to the way it was before? You don't know that. I mean, for one, you two could go back to the way it was before. You may never know unless you give it a chance" Penny said.

"I guess you're right..." I said.

"I am right! Marie, listen to what your heart is saying," she said.

I gave her a what the heck look and said, "Penny I don't know what my heart is saying. You know, hearts don't talk. All hearts do is beat." Penny shook her head in disbelief.

"You know what I mean Marie."

"Penny, I really don't know what my heart is telling me. But Mark said that love hurts so much that you can't take it, but you have to take it. That you have to fight for it and you can't let go. He said that when Taylor broke up with me, Taylor then realized that he couldn't just let me go. Mark also said that me and Taylor belong together and that we're fated to be with each other. He even said to get Taylor back."

I looked back at Penny who now had a huge smile on her face. She lightly slapped my shoulder and exclaimed, "See! Listen to Mark! Listen to me! Go get Taylor Marie. You and Taylor both belong together! Can't you see Marie, Taylor has always been the one. He will always be the one for you. He is your heart!"

I looked down at my hands that was on my lap and smiled.

"I need him back," I muttered.

"What did you just say?" Penny asked.

I looked up at Penny and directly said to her, "I need him back."

Penny smiled even bigger and started clapping her hands in joy.

"Oh my gosh! Finally! Marie, go text Taylor! Go get him back!" Penny exclaimed, still clapping her hands together.

I gave her a confused look and asked, "Why?"

Penny immediately stopped clapping her hands and looked at me with a stupid look. "To get him back of course."

"Yeah, but why over text?" I asked.

Penny mouthed a 'oh my gosh' and shook her head at my stupidity. "I mean text him to meet you somewhere silly."

"Oh! But, it's late right now. It's almost 10 P.M." I glanced at the dashboard that was blinking 9:47 P.M.

"So?" Penny asked.

"Taylor wouldn't meet with me this late at night. Plus, we still need an hour left on the road too," I explained to Penny.

Penny frowned for a while and then suddenly smiled. Crap, I know that smile. She has an idea that could either get us in trouble or not get us in trouble. It was mostly getting us into trouble, but let's just hope this time, it won't get us into trouble. Suddenly, Penny pulled out a lot of twenties from her bag and slid open the window to the taxi driver. The taxi driver glanced up in the rear view mirror with a confused look.

"Taxi dude, I'm going to make a deal with you and you have 5 seconds to agree on this deal or to decline on this deal. Alright dude?" Penny talked in her professional voice. I knew it was professional because she always used 'dude' when she was making a deal with someone.

The taxi driver nodded and listened to what Penny was saying to him. I also leaned forward from my seat and listened to what Penny was offering to the taxi driver.

"Okay, well my deal is that I will give you these bunch of twenties," Penny showed him the big wad of cash in her hands, "if you step on it and take us to our destination in less than 30 minutes. I want you to go as fast as you can and make it to our destination in less than 30 minutes. If you don't make it in 30 minutes, I'm afraid our little deal is off. But if you make it in less than 20 minutes, I'll be adding an extra 100. So, do we have a deal or what dude?"

My eyes widened at Penny's deal. Was she crazy? We were really going to get into loads of trouble. The taxi driver's eyes widened with excitement and I swore I thought I saw dollar signs in them. The taxi driver immediately nodded and stepped on the gas.

I was instantly pulled back to my seat and I had to hold onto my seatbelt to make sure if was safely around me. Gee, the things people do for money I thought. I looked over at Penny who was also holding onto her seatbelt, but was smiling big.

"This is dangerous you know," I said.

Penny looked at me and laughed, "I know."

I playfully rolled my eyes at her and let out a small laugh as we zoomed by trees and other cars. Thank goodness no police cars were in sight yet. I was too busy looking out the window when Penny pulled my cellphone away from me.

I quickly looked at her and saw that she was busy typing away on my phone. Was she sending a text message to Taylor?

"What are you doing?" I asked.

Penny was pressed the send button and placed my cellphone back on my lap and smiled in victory. "Sending a text message to Taylor," she simply answered.

My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed my cellphone from my lap and checked through my outbox messaged. I opened that latest one and it read:

Taylor, can we meet at our hilltop? We need to talk, please meet me there.

Oh and ps, I may be a little late. See you very soon. - Maaarie!

I snapped my phone shut and groaned. I looked over at Penny who still had her victory smile plastered on her face.

"Why'd you send him that text message?" I asked.

"Because, you and Taylor need to settle this whole problem tonight! Not tomorrow or the other day, but tonight!" Penny said.

I sighed and said, "I guess."

"Did he text back yet?" Penny randomly asked. I was about to say no, when my phone suddenly vibrated from a new text message. I grabbed my phone and it said an incoming text message from: Taylor Lautner. I opened up the new text message and read it out loud for Penny to hear:

Marie, I'm so glad to hear from you. Of course I'll meet you there. See you... - Taylor

Penny started squealing and giggled. "Ooh, he's so glad to hear from you! See, he's going to meet you at your hilltop!"

I smiled and looked out the window, trying to contain my excitement. This was it, I was going to get Taylor back.

Turns out Penny actually gave the extra 100 to the taxi driver. He made it to my house in less than 20 minutes. Unbelievable, right? Well believe it because it happened. It also turns out that Penny wouldn't allow me to get out of the taxi. She would be the one getting out, not me because she wanted me to go to the hilltop already. So she paid another extra 20 to the taxi driver to take me to the hilltop. So now, Penny is at me house, relaxing on my comfortable bed while I have just arrived at the hilltop. Once the taxi came to a stop, I handed him a 10 dollar tip, which he gladly took.

"Sorry about my friend earlier. She likes to make deals and whatnot," I said to the him.

He turned around and smiled, "No worries, she was quite entertaining. Plus, I got a lot of money tonight!"

I laughed and said, "Well that's her. Thanks for the ride."

"You too. Have a goodnight mam," he said as I exited the taxi and shut the door. I waited as he drove away from in the distance until I could no longer see the yellow taxi in my view anymore. I looked around my surroundings to see Taylor's car. My heart immediately quickened it's beat at the thought of him only being a few feet away from me. I pulled my jacket around me tighter since it was getting more cold as it was getting more late and started walking to the hilltop.

While on the way to the hilltop, my mind was racing with words of what I was going to say to Taylor. What was I going to say to him? So many words were racing through my head, that I decided to stop thinking. After a few more steps on walking, I finally spotted the back of his head. He was looking out at the city night light view and his hands were jammed into his pockets. I continued walking until I accidentally stepped on a twig that snapped into two. And because of that noise, Taylor turned around to face me. We were now only about 10 feet away. That was too much of a distance. I guess Taylor thought the same thing because he walked towards me. We were now only 3 feet away from each other.

"Hey," he greeted me with his handsome voice that I will always love to hear.

"Hey," I said back to him. It actually didn't feel awkward at all.

"So, you wanted to talk?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah. Oh and that text message was from-"

"Penny. I know," Taylor finished for me.

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you know?"

"I know you. You wouldn't add three a's to your name," he answered with smile.

I smiled back and said, "Oh yeah, that's true."

Taylor just nodded and said, "So..."

Oh yeah, I need to get him back I thought.

"So," I began, "about earlier at the waterfall, is it true that you still love me?"

Taylor looked into my eyes and said, "I do still love you, I always have." Crap, I hate it when he says things like that. It makes my stomach do flips.

"You still love me, right?" Taylor asked, still looking into my eyes.

I nodded and said, "Yes, I still love you Taylor." Taylor smiled big and took a step closer towards me.

"Taylor, I want you back," I blurted out. I quickly covered my hand over mouth and instantly blushed. Good thing it was sort of dark, Taylor wouldn't be able to see me blushing or anything like that. Taylors eyes widen and then he started to smile.

"I want you back too Marie," he simply said.

I uncovered my hand from my mouth and said, "But what I said to you earlier, that you hurt me too much and that I can't handle it with you anymore. I shouldn't have said that Taylor, I didn't know what I was saying. I was just so confused at that time, but now I know what I want. And what I want is you Taylor. I'm sorry too. I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way. It's just that-"

Taylor shushed me by placing a hand over my mouth. I stopped talking and gave him a weird look. He took his hand off of my mouth and started to speak.

"Don't say you're sorry Marie. I should be the one saying sorry because I'm the one who broke up with you. You know when I broke up with you, my whole world fell apart. And when I broke up with you, I then realized that I couldn't live without you. You know, I wish I could rewind to the past and change it to when I didn't break your heart. But the past is the past and here we are now. You and I will always be together Maire. I will always need you and I will always love you."

By now, a few tears were silently streaming down my cheeks. I quickly wiped them away with the sleeve of my jacket. Taylor then had a worried look on his face.

His eyes widened at the sight of me crying. "What? Why are you crying? Did I say something bad? I didn't mean to make you cry Marie," he quickly said with a panic tone.

I quickly shook my head and let out a small laugh. "No, no. You didn't say anything bad. You actually said the right things. I'm just crying because of I'm happy you're here with me and that you still love me."

Taylor's face relaxed and he took a step towards me again. Now were just merely inches apart from each other, right where I want to be. Well, not exactly where I want to be yet. I want to be in his strong arms again.

"Taylor?" I asked.

"Hm?" He said, while slowly placing a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Kiss me," I whispered.

"I thought you'd never ask," he whispered back as he placed both hands on my cheeks. He leaned forward to my forehead and softly pressed his lips against it and kissed my forehead. I smiled and closed my eyes while he then gently kissed the tip of my nose. He then gently kissed both of my cheeks and finally, he kissed my lips. It wasn't a urgent kiss, but a soft and gentle one filled with passion and love. The one filled with so many memories of us both, the love that Taylor and I shared. It was the kiss that I will always remember.

Finally, we broke kiss, but we didn't separate from each other. We were still close to each other, but now he had his arms wrapped around my waist as I now wrapped my arms around his neck. I was looking up at his face, studying every handsome feature of him while he was staring off into the distant. Oh how much I missed his face and every part of him. He noticed me staring up at him as he looked down at me and smiled my favorite smile of him showing his pearly whites. Taylor pulled me tighter to him and leaned down to whisper into my ear, "I love you forever Marie."

" And I love you forever Taylor," I whispered back.
