And He's Just Paper

Victim of Love

Taylor sat on the edge of her and Nathan's bed and watched TV. Haley had stormed out a couple minutes after their little confrontation. Taylor didn't understand why Haley wanted Nathan so bad; she was still sleeping with Chris, so why did she want Nathan? Taylor walked out into the living room just as Nathan was walking through the front door. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

Taylor shrugged, "How should I be feeling around now?"

"Look," Nathan said as regret masked his face, "I know that you sang that song especially for me…And I know I kind of—"

Taylor cut him off, "Ruined the moment?"

Nathan sighed and wrapped his arms around Taylor's waist, "I thought I could make it up to you…" He said and then put a CD in his CD player. The song "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer came on and Taylor couldn't help but smile. Nathan offered his hand and winked, "May I have this dance?"

Taylor giggled and took Nathan's hand, "Yes you may," Taylor said as she rested her head against Nathan's chest.

"You know I love you," Nathan said and then kissed the top of Taylor's head.

"I know," Taylor said as she looked up at Nathan, "I love you too…"

Nathan kissed her passionately. The kiss ended and Taylor bit her bottom lip. Nathan rubbed her back softly and Taylor moaned in pleasure. Taylor backed away from Nathan and took off her shirt. Nathan looked at Taylor in her bra and began to kiss her neck.

Taylor led Nathan to the bed room and laid him down on the bed. She straddled Nathan and took off his shirt. Taylor kissed his chest softly and then smiled up at him. Nathan got on top of her and kissed her gently, and then ran his hand through her hair.

Haley barged into Chris's studio, and Chris walked out of the back room with a cigarette dangling from his lips, "Did you get my call?" Haley asked irritably.

"Chill, babe," Chris said with a cocky smile on his face.

Haley smiled evilly and looked around the studio, "So did you find him?" She asked.

Chris nodded and yelled towards the back room, "Alright man come out…"

Haley crossed her arms and saw Felix walk out and stand beside Chris, "So I finally leave this shit hole and you guys call me back to do your dirty work?" Felix asked.

"I want you to get rid of her," Haley said.

"Get rid of who?" Felix asked.

Haley rolled her eyes, "Taylor…You know, the girl who has Nathan."

"Whoa Haley," Chris said finally, "You don't want Felix to…kill her do you?"

Haley scoffed, "Oh my fucking god Chris! Are you retarded? Of course I don't want him to kill her," she said and then looked to Felix, "I just want…I want you to get her back."

"No can do," Felix said and then got his coat to leave.

Haley looked at him in disbelief, "And why not?"

"Because I raped her," Felix said, "And I tried to do it again," Haley's jaw dropped, "Yeah, me and Taylor have some history…"

Haley grabbed his arm, "Just tell her you got help…Get her to go back to LA, make her leave Nathan!"

Felix rolled his eyes, "She loves him even I know that."

"I'll pay you," Haley pleaded.

Felix laughed sarcastically, "I've got money."

Felix was about to leave and Haley chuckled to herself, "Did you know that Lucas and Brooke are going back out?" She asked.

Felix turned around quickly, and Haley could see the fire burning in his eyes, "I'll do it," he agreed.

Taylor pranced into Brooke's room as Brooke was putting away clothes, "Hey you!" Taylor said as she winked at Brooke.

"Hey," Brooke said in slight confusion, "You're in a good mood…That's a good sign right?"

"Yes," Taylor said confidently, "Very, very good sign!"

Brooke smiled at her best friend and then sat on her bed, "What happened?" She asked as she patted the spot beside her.

Taylor sat next to her, "Let's just say Nathan and I just had sex!" She cheered.

"Oh my fucking god!" Brooke screamed, "Congrats hun!" She yelled as the two of the girls hugged, "How god damn long has it been?"

"I don't know, babe," Taylor said and then laid on her back, "It was so...It was so great, not just because the sex was amazingly awesome, but because it's been like a month since we've done it you know?"

Brooke smiled and brushed a strand of hair out of Taylor's face, "I'm happy for you Tay," she said and then laid down beside Taylor, "Do you think that means it's over between him and Haley?"

"I hope so," Taylor said as she looked over to Brooke, "I love him Brooke…I really do."

Brooke smiled softly, "I know…"

Nathan shot a three pointer and it swished right through the basket, "Money!" He screamed and his voice echoed throughout the gym.

"Lucky shot," Lucas said glumly and then took the ball and started to dribble it around, "Brooke hasn't been talking so nicely about Hales lately…She seems different."

"Yeah, I don't know," Nathan said, "I just find the fact that she wants me back to be…"

"Cheesy in that soap-operish way?" Lucas asked.

Nathan laughed, "Yeah…I don't know it's just weird."

"You're not going to let her get to you…Are you?" Lucas asked and then took a shot.

Nathan sighed, "She's Haley…Sweet, innocent, little Haley…"

"Innocent?" Lucas questioned.

Nathan laughed lightly, "I thought you two were best friends?"

"Were is the keyword," Lucas said and then put the ball under his arm, "I haven't really talked to her that much…"

Nathan sat down on the bench and put a towel around his neck, "The only thing that'll make things easier is if Haley leaves."

Taylor walked along the river and heard somebody coming up behind her. She smiled; hoping it was Nathan. Taylor turned around and saw Felix standing there. Taylor backed away slowly and started to tear up, "F-f-Felix," she stammered.

"Don't worry," Felix said as he put his hands up, "I got help Tay," he said sincerely, "I don't want to hurt people anymore."

Taylor looked at him in confusion, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah," Felix said, "I'm sorry for everything that I've done to you," he said and then sat down on a bench, "My worst mistake was hurting you…It never gave us a chance to be together," he said and put his head in his hands, "All I ever wanted was for you to be my girlfriend."

Taylor shook her head, "I'm not buying this shit," she said and started to walk away.

Felix grabbed her arm, "Taylor, listen to me!" He said, "I got help…I got help for you."

"I have Nathan," Taylor said and pulled her arm away.

Felix looked down at the ground, "I want you to trust me…"

"That's never going to happen," Taylor scoffed, "You can bet on that…"

Felix sighed, "Just give me a chance!"
