"Taylor, Troy's here!" Ms. Mc.Kessie yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" she yelled back twirling around in front of the mirror as she smoothed out the wrinkles in her tight fitting polo. It wasn't like it was a real date, they were just gonna hang out downstairs and watch some old Ellen reruns while pigging out. She made her way downstairs and saw her mom and Troy talking in the hallway. Her mom was going out with a few of her friends to eat and talk, just enjoy herself really so Troy and Taylor had the house all to themselves.
"And I don't want any funny business going on in this house while I'm gone you hear me" she said with a small smile making Troy chuckle lightly, she knew they wouldn't do anything but she better make sure they knew the rules right?
"Yes ma'am" he said as she left the house and drove away in her car. Taylor watched as Troy turned around and jumped when he saw her standing there on the last step on the stairs "Don't sneak up on me like that" he said as she hopped of the last step and walked towards him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned up to kiss him, he leaned down and captured his lips with hers in a short sweet kiss.
"Come on lover boy I want ice cream" she said as she dragged him in to the kitchen where she found a cartoon of Ben and Jerry's phish food ice cream in the freezer and a spoon in the drawer, Troy looked at her pointedly "If you want popcorn they're in the cupboard over there" she pointed to the cupboard above the microwave "But you have to pop them yourself" she said as she walked past him in to the living room, she sat down the ice cream on the coffee table and moved to the TV to turn it on, she found the right channel and saw that it had already started. She plopped down on the couch and watched as Ellen pushed Richard down on the bed. It took a few minutes until Troy joined her on the couch with a big bowl of newly popped and buttered popcorn.
"Which episode is it?" he asked as he lifted her feet and set them down in his lap.
"The one where she realises she's gay" Troy nodded and ate some of his popcorn as they watched the episode play out in front of them, laughing every now and then.
Three episodes later when it was time for Ellen to tell her parents she was gay Taylor started thinking.
"How come people think you can be straight and alone but not gay and alone?" she asked as she took some of Troy's popcorn.
"Don't know" Troy said shrugging as he pulled her closer to himself and kissed her temple.
"It shouldn't make a difference if your gay or straight you should be able to be single without anyone judging you" she continued "And gay marriage should be allowed in every state they should have the same right as us"
"I know baby" he said running his hand threw her curls just enjoying her presence. Taylor kept talking about the gay peoples rights as Troy just sat there running his hand threw her hair and listened to her talking.

"We should do this more often" Ms. Mc.Kessie said as she opened the door with her house key letting herself and Lucille inside the house.
"I know we really should, it's nice to just have a girl's night out, no men or kids to worry about" Lucille answered as she stepped in after Leila and closed the door behind herself.
"Aww would you look at that" she said as she looked into the living room.
"What? Aww, they're so cute together" Lucille gushed as she saw Troy lying on his back on the couch with Taylor snuggled up against his side, her head on his chest and arms wrapped tightly around each other fast asleep. The two women stood there for awhile looking at the two and gushing about them until they noticed Troy stirring awake. He finally opened his eyes and looked around the room, his eyes landed on the women and said in a hoarse voice.
"I really don't like it when people watch me sleep"
"Ohh, I'm gonna go get the camera" Leila said excited as she left the room quickly and came back only a minute later and quickly snapped a picture of the couple on the couch forgetting to get rid of the flash. Taylor buried her head deeper into Troy's chest and clutched his shirt.
"Troy, honey, it's time to go home" Lucille said softly so she wouldn't wake Taylor.
"Give me a minute" he said before burying his face in Taylor's curls. The women nodded and left the room. Two minutes later Troy came out of the living room with Taylor in his arms bridal style, he carried her up the stairs to her room and laid her down on her bed, he kissed her forehead before leaving the room and descending the stairs and leaving the house with his mom after saying goodbye to Leila.
"You love her don't you" Lucille asked as they rounded the wall between the houses. Troy stopped at her with wide eyes.
"How did you know?"
"I can see it in your eyes" she said as she opened the door to their house and took of her jacket and hung it up on the coat rack in the hallway and took of her heals "Goodnight sweetie" she said and kissed Troy's cheek before heading up the stairs.
"She can see it in my eyes" he said to himself as he locked the door and made his way to his room "She can see it in my eyes" he plopped down on his bed and repeated the phrase over and over again "If my mom can see it Taylor probably can too"
I decided to skip the whole part with Drew and the courtroom drama since I don't know anything about the law really. So let's just say he got like 2-5 years in prison and was suspended from East High.
Troy and Taylor have just started dating and are happy and in love although they haven't told each other 'I love you' only in a friendly way. So they still don't know how the other really feels.
I got Ellen involved since I used to watch that show on a daily basis a few years ago and fell in love with it and I just recently found the episodes on youtube so I've been busy watching those. I also wanted Taylor to be for gay marriage since I am for it myself, I seriously don't see why they can't get married or adopt, they're just like everyone else except they fall in love with their own sex or gender whatever you call it.
