A/N: asdfghjkl HOLY FUDGE! Was the last time I updated this story really July 2011? I didn't even realize it's been that long. For those of you who read this story, I apologize for the long wait :(

Taby felt like her entire world just froze. Did John just say what she thought he said? No, it couldn't be!

"What did you just say?" She asked with quivering lips

"I think I'm in love with you." He responded

Taby moved away from him. "No."

"Tab…"

She put her hand out. "Just stop ok?"

"But I…"

"Don't say another word!" She half yelled

"But Tab…"

"What did I just say?"

"What's wrong?"

"You can't be in love with me." She said with tears filling her eyes.

"But I am."

"But you can't be!"

"Why not?"

"You just can't!"

John watched as Taby ran off. What the hell just happened? He definitely wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. Why did Taby react like that when he told her how he felt? John was certainly confused.

Taby got to her room. She opened the door, walked in and slammed the door behind her. The tears were now coming down like a waterfall.

Randy was already in the room when he noticed her condition, he went up to her immediately.

"Taby what happened?"

She cried. She couldn't find the words to speak.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly and she continued to cry in his arms. He rubbed her back soothingly, trying to get her to calm down.

She pulled back a little and looked up at him. He started to wipe the tears away. "What happened?"

"Jo…John…" She managed to get out.

"What about John?"

She could barely breathe, let alone speak so she was having a hard time trying to form words.

"Taby."

"John, just told me…"

"What did he tell you?"

"That he was in love with me." She fell into his arms and cried into his chest

Randy was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say or how to react.

"You were right." She said sobbed. "You were right."

"About what?" Randy question

She looked up at him. "You told me to be careful but I didn't listen." She cried

"Tab…" Randy didn't know what to say. He felt so bad for her

"What am I supposed to do now?…. I love him."

She fell back into his arms and Randy hugged her tightly. "It's gonna be ok."

Randy felt bad lying to Taby. He knew everything wasn't going to be fine.

John approached Taby's room door. Just as he was about to knock, Randy came out and shut the door behind him.

"Hey is Taby…"

"Now's not a good time John."

"I just wanna see if she's ok."

"She's not."

"I just wanna talk to her."

"No. John just leave, ok?"

"I don't want to."

"You need to go John. Give her some space."

John hesitated before speaking. "Fine." He said then walked away

After John left, Randy fell back against the door. This was bad, he thought. Very bad.

It was around 6 pm and John was in the hotel bar having his sixth beer. He was barely tipsy but after all it was only beer and it was basically like water to him.

He was trying to replay the events that happened today in his head. He honestly didn't understand why Taby freaked out when he told her he loved her. Usually girls love when a guy says they love them.

John decided that getting drunk wasn't such a good idea because he had to be up for a signing at about 7 am. He paid his bar tab and made his way to the elevators.

When the doors opened, he was greeted by a somber looking Taby.

"Hi." He said

She looked at him with a weak smile, made her way out the elevator and walked right past him.

John ran after her.

"Taby wait!"

At this point, Taby was already outside the hotel. She turned around and looked at John.

Can't you just talk to me?"

She sighed. "I don't know what to say to you, John."

"Just tell me why you freaked out earlier after I told you I loved you."

"It's not that simple ok? You won't understand!"

He took her hand in his. "Try me."

"Look John, this is just too complicated ok? So can we just drop it?"

"No, I'm not dropping this."

"John…"

"Is it Randy? It's Randy isn't? Are you still in love with him?"

"No, this has nothing to do with Randy!"

"Do you hate me or something?"

She laughed lightly. "God no! It's actually the complete opposite of that."

"Ok now I'm really confused!"

"Let's just put it this way; if you love me, I can't love you back."

If John wasn't confused before, he was definitely confused now. "I don't…"

Taby didn't say anything else. She just continued to walk away leaving John just standing there, dumbfounded.

John knew girls were confusing but Taby takes the cake. She was hiding something and someway or the other John was going to find out what it was.
