Loves Little Surprises

The school day had gone on like any other. Taylor was actually glad that the day was over; she needed to go home and think her feelings through. She had left Chad in a huff. He had stopped by her locker to say goodbye, but she had brushed him off.

She didn't want to be mean, she just needed to sort out her feelings about the fight that they had the previous day.

As Taylor walked down the sidewalk, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Alex More, running to catch up to her. She slowed her walking until he was right next to her.

Her and Alex had been friends in elementary school, but they had drifted apart in middle school. They were nice to each other, they waved to the other in the hallway, and sometime had short conversations, but never talked like they used to.

"Hi Taylor." Alex said as he smiled at her.

"Hey Alex." Taylor said as she tried to smile, but failed horribly.

"How have you been?" Alex asked, trying to keep the conversation from slipping into an awkward silence.

"I've been pretty good, you?" Taylor asked politely.

"I could be better." Alex replied honestly. Taylor was too busy catching up with Alex that she didn't hear Chad's footsteps coming towards her, or his voice calling after her.

"Well, I guess that's good?" Taylor asked uncertainly.

"It's okay, but I know what could make my life better." Alex asked as he took a step closer to Taylor.

"What are you-" Taylor was cut off by his lips as they came crashing down onto hers. She gasped, she tried to push him off of her, but he was too strong.

Chad had been chasing Taylor for five blocks! He needed to ask her what was wrong. When he had tried to talk to her, she had run off, and he didn't know why.

As he came to a turn, he saw Taylor walking with another guy. This made Chad's blood boil. He watched as the guy took a step closer to her and the surprised look that came over her face.

He continued to walk towards them as he continued to call out her name. What he saw next made his heart break into millions of little pieces.

Taylor and that guy kissed.

Taylor continued to try and push Alex off of her, but he was twice her size. Her eyes were wide open as her eyes darted from side to side, looking for help. She heard pounding footsteps coming closer.

Alex was pulled off of her and she roughly fell to the ground. Chad stood above them; unshed tears in his dark brown eyes. He punched Alex with all of his might.

When he had punched him three times Chad had enough of the physical fight and decided to end it verbally. "GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Chad yelled.

Alex complied and got up from the ground, shaking the whole time. He turned away from Chad and faced Taylor, he smiled at her mockingly. He then turned the other way and ran, as fast as he possibly could.

"How could you do this to my Taylor?" Chad asked as tears slid down his face, leaving a track behind them.

"Chad that was not what it looks like!" Taylor tried to explain as she got herself up from the ground.

"Not what it looks like? Did you slip and his lips broke your fall?" Chad asked sarcastically.

"Chad just listen to me, please!" Taylor begged.

"What is there to listen to? It sure as hell looked like my girlfriend was kissing a guy that was not her boyfriend!" Chad yelled.

"I tried to push him off of me Chad!" Taylor tried to explain again.

"That's not what it looked like Taylor!" Chad fired back at her.

"Why won't you believe me?" Taylor asked as tears began to fall form her eyes too.

"Because I don't think that I can trust you. First you kept information from me, then I find you kissing another guy!" Chad yelled.

"Chad just let me explain! Please! You have it all wrong!" Taylor begged again, tears falling from her eyes at a record pace.

"What is there to explain? I catch the woman that I love kissing another man. How can I take this the wrong way Taylor?" Chad asked her as he wiped angrily at his eyes.

"Chad, please." Taylor said as her tears continued to fall.

"No Taylor, I am tired of your excuses. I bet this has happened a lot since we began dating." Chad said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"NO! This has never happened before, I didn't want it to happen!" Taylor yelled.

"I don't think we can be together." Chad said softly.

"You don't mean that Chad!" Taylor said, as her knees grew weak.

"I do mean it Taylor, I can't keep wondering if you are going to cheat on me. I can't live that way." Chad said as he dried his eyes.

"Chad! Please don't!" Taylor cried.

"I'm sorry." Chad said as he walked away from her.

Taylor let out a heartbreaking sob and fell to the ground in sadness. She couldn't believe that this had happened. She had a great guy that loved her to pieces, and Alex had to come and ruin it. Her body was shaking with the power of her cries. She felt as if her whole world was shattering. She sat on the ground, broken, not filled with the laughter and joy that she was known for, she was just broken.

She felt her heart shatter into a million pieces, it felt like someone had stabbed her in the heart repeatedly, and then her heart was left to bleed. Taking a deep breath, she stood up on wobbly legs. Tears continued to stream down her face as she walked home.

She walked into her house and up the stairs into her room. She grabbed her phone and called the only person that could ever comfort her.

After three rings a voice answered.

"Hello?" the voice asked.

"Gabriella, Chad broke up with me." Taylor said before her dam broke, and the tears fell freely.

"Oh Taylor! I am so sorry, I will come over right now, and I will stay the night with you." Gabriella said as Taylor heard rustling in the background, signaling that Gabriella was gathering some of her possessions.

"Thanks Gabby, you're a great friend." Taylor said as she smiled through her tears.

"I'll be right there!" Gabriella said before she hung up the phone. She quickly called Troy and told him the situation before she left her house to go to Taylor's.

Gabriella silently cursed love, and it's little surprises.
