This Is Goodbye?
Normal POV
"Taylor?" Chad asked frantically into the phone. "Oh, my God! Taylor . . . Taylor, sweetie, please, answer me!"
Don't just stand there, you idiot! the little voice inside of him said. Do something!
Chad mentally slapped himself. "Uh . . . " He paused. "Hang on, babe. I'm hanging up but I'm calling the cops. You'll be okay." He pressed a button on the phone, and dialed 911.
"911. Please state your emergency."
In one quick breath, Chad told the operator about his girlfriend being attacked at the county jail. After he was done talking, he had to stop and catch his breath.
"Don't worry, sir," the operator tried to reassure him. "Police will be there within moments."
"Thank you so much," Chad started but the operator had already hung up.
Hang in there, Taylor, Chad thought as he grabbed his car keys and jacket. Hang in there.

Taylor McKessie opened her eyes slowly and looked around.
What had happened? Taylor didn't have the answer to that question. She got up but as she did, her head started pounding.
Man, my head kills! Taylor thought with agony. What the hell had . . .
"Dad?!"
She looked around and her eyes finally rested on Mr. McKessie who was leaning against her car.
"Oh, hello, Taylor," her father said as cold as ever. "Nice of you to wake up."
"Yeah, it was nice of you to give me that bump on the head," Taylor said disgusted. "Is what Mike said true? You paid him to hurt me, to abuse me?"
Brandon McKessie shrugged. "Ah," he simply said.
"Why?!"
"Because you were being a pain in my ass," he answered. "'Dad, I want this' and 'Dad, I want this'. You were getting on my nerves . . . "
"That's no reason to do this to your only daughter!" Taylor pointed out.
"Aw, is little Taylor McKessie mad?" Her father laughed. "Too bad!"
"I can't believe you, Dad . . . "
There was the sound of sirens and Brandon quickly walked into the shadows to avoid getting caught.
"'Till we meet again," Brandon said, and flipped her off. "Have fun during the final hours of your life, sweetie. Because the next time we meet, your friends will be burying you six feet under."
"Taylor!"
Taylor turned around at the sound of her name being called. When she looked back to where her father had been standing, he was gone.
"Oh, my gosh, Taylor!" Chad ran up to her and Taylor threw her arms around him, crying into his chest. "It's all right, babe. Shh . . . "
"Chad . . . it was my father," Taylor sobbed. "That bastard was right. It was my own damn father who had hired him."
Chad rubbed his girl's back.
"It's all right, babe," he said again. "Your father is gone. You're okay now."
Taylor nodded. "Let's go home, sweetie. I need my sleep. I leave for New Jersey tomorrow morning."
Chad looked at her. "You're still going?"
Taylor nodded. "Yeah, Chad, I have to. I mean, look at me. I'm skin and bones. If I don't go now, I'll just get worse."
Chad hugged the love of his life closer. "I'm going to miss you so much, Taylor. I don't know how I'll be able to live without you."
Taylor smiled at him. "You'll make it. You will."
A few minutes later, they were at home. Chad insisted on sleeping in Taylor's bed with her, and Taylor readily agreed. Taylor quickly fell asleep with her head on Chad's chest. His right arm was wrapped around Taylor, and he soon fell asleep to Taylor's rhythmic breathing.
"I love you," Chad murmured, falling into unconsciousness.

Chad woke up the next morning to Taylor shifting around in bed. He opened one of his eyes and laughed silently. Taylor was trying to get out of the death grip Chad was holding her in but she didn't want to wake Chad up.
"Come here," Chad said sleepily, and pulled Taylor closely to him. He started kissing her.
"Chad," she laughed, "stop. I have to get dressed. I leave in a few hours."
Chad's smile fell from his face. "Oh, yeah . . . "
Taylor turned around and jumped.
"What's the matter?"
"You don't just sneak up on people like that!" Taylor exclaimed.
Chad turned toward the door and saw what Taylor saw. Gabriella Montez was laughing hysterically.
"What are you doing here, Gabs? Where's everyone else?" Chad wondered.
"They're all downstairs," Gabi answered, laughing still. "And I wanted to check on you." She got an upset look on her face. "After all, you are leaving today . . . " Her voice trailed off.
"Don't you guys bother to knock?"
"We did, like five times. We rang the doorbell but nobody answered, so I took out the key you gave me, and we came in."
"Tell the others we'll be downstairs in a few minutes, okay?" Taylor wondered. "I have to get dressed."
Gabi nodded. "Okay, Taylor."
A few minutes later, true to her word, Taylor came walking down the steps, Chad only a step behind.
Her friends stood up, and it looked like the girls were getting ready to cry. Taylor's watch beeped and she looked at it.
She threw her arms around her friends and said sadly, "I gotta go . . . "
The girls cried and the guys waved bye to Taylor sadly. She turned to Chad.
"This is goodbye?" he wondered. He didn't want it to be; he had just told Taylor how he felt, and she had felt the same way. How can she leave after that?
"Hmm . . . no."
"No?" Chad wondered hopefully.
"It's not goodbye," Taylor told him as he took her in his arms. "It's a see you soon. I mean, don't goodbyes usually mean you're never gonna see that person again?"
Chad nodded his head and kissed Taylor passionately.
"I'll save all my kisses and hugs for you until you get back," Chad promised.
"And I'll do the same."
With one last look at her friends, she waved a goodbye and walked out the door.
But she made it a point to say "I love you" to Chad before she did.
And then she was gone, just like that, and her friends were left alone.
Did you like it? I know it's not one of my best chapters but I was running out of ideas. Anyway, plz R&R!
