So...I threw in a big twist and you will learn what really caused the rift between Taylor and Melissa as well as some of Taylor's dirty little secrets.
CHAPTER 17
"What?" Quinn asked as Taylor and Rachel nodded.
"That's what he said. He's getting a lawyer and everything." Rachel said as Taylor scoffed and stuffed piece of paper straw wrap into her mouth before lifting the straw to her lips spitting the spit ball at a picture of James she had hanging on the wall.
"That is…gross." Quinn said as Beth nodded.
"I don't have dart board anymore." Taylor said.
"Do I want to know?" Rachel asked as Taylor shook her head.
"No and you confiscated my BB guns so that's out of the question." Taylor said putting another piece of paper in her mouth and spitting.
"You're cleaning that up at least." Quinn said as Taylor nodded.
"I will. I'm just enjoying myself." Taylor said making another spit ball.
"I'll represent you." Santana said making Taylor nearly choke on a spit ball.
"Really?" Rachel asked.
"Yes, because let's face it, you and Taylor have become a permanent fix in this family." Santana said and Rachel felt her heart swell.
Taylor's phone beeped and she opened the message and smiled.
"What?"
"Nothing, a friend is having a birthday party tonight and a friend is coming to get me." Taylor said.
"Be home at a reasonable time." Rachel said.
"That's it?" Quinn asked and Rachel nodded.
"Taylor can handle herself. I trust her." Rachel said.
Taylor hobbled over to the picture she taped up and pulled it down. She crumpled it up and tossed it just as there was a honk outside. Taylor grabbed her crutches and headed out kissing Rachel's cheek.
"See you in the morning."
Taylor had to have been on her third cup of the watermelon daiquiri that was made. She felt the alcohol in her stomach but it wasn't the daiquiri she made sure she had put enough of the mix in to mask the alcohol taste. She had about five or six shots. Three Hypnotic, One Bacardi and two Jose Cuervo. She then mixed the two together in a drink she shared with a friend. So maybe she was a bit out of it.
She was actually going to stop after her fourth shot but then she saw the hurt in Melissa's eyes when she saw Trevor with an arm around her. She got confused again. She had half the mind to drag Trevor up to a bedroom but she wasn't that drunk. Besides, she stopped her hooking up days when Todd threatened to send her to a convent. So about six months ago.
Thinking of Todd made her frown. She was here to have fun and forget the stupid cast around her leg. She took a big gulp of her daiquiri and looked around the room. She spotted Melissa and brushed trevor's arm away off her shoulders. He turned to her confused.
"I'm gonna go get some air." she said finishing her drink and grabbing her crutches.
She found Melissa in the backyard on the bench stating at nothing. She was alone. Taylor dropped down beside her and sighed.
Melissa saw her and smiled softly. "Hey."
"Hey,why are you here alone?" Taylor asked.
"Just wanted to get air. Why aren't you with Trevor?"Melissa asked.
"He's a friend Mel, I'm sorry if you feel threatened by him." that was the wrong thing tp say.
"Threatened? Oh yeah! I'd be threatened by the guy who let's you drink your ass dumb." Melissa scoffed.
"I'm pretty coherent right now." Taylor scowled.
"For how much longer?" Melissa asked.
"I'm fine, stop mothering me. I already have my mom and Rachel." Taylor said picking a piece of lint off her shirt.
"Please, we're probably going to have a summer flashback again and it will be his fault again for giving you the drinks." Melissa rambled and all Taylor could think of was how kissable Melissa's lips looked. She shook the thought away and sighed.
"I'm fine, I'm not a lightweight like you." Taylor said leaning into her.
"That's because you started when you were twelve." Melissa huffed laying her head on Taylor's.
"I hate it when we fight." Taylor yawned.
"Hey, you still have to get home, don't fall asleep on me." Melissa chuckled.
"Can't I go home with you?" Taylor asked her words slurred slighty.
"And you say you aren't drunk." Melissa giggled.
"I'm not, I'm buzzed." Taylor corrected.
"Buzzed is drunk." Melissa said as Taylor shrugged.
"Your point?" Taylor asked.
"Just looking out for you Taylor." Melissa said as Taylor shut her eyes.
"I remember what happened over the summer." Taylor mumbled. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable; but I don't regret kissing you."
"What?" Melissa looked down at Taylor and found her fast asleep. "Damn it Taylor." Melissa sighed as Taylor's phone beeped.
Melissa reached into Taylor's pocket and pulled out the phone.
'Where are you-Todd'
Melissa sighed and texted back. 'Taylor fell asleep, it's Melissa, can you come pick us up?' She added the address and sent the message.
The reply was instant.
'On my way.'
Fifteen minutes later Todd stepped out onto the back porch and smiled seeing Taylor asleep against Melissa.
"Thanks." Melissa said as Todd picked Taylor up and Melissa grabbed her crutches and they headed to Todd's car out front.
Trevor was stupid enough to walk out.
"Hey, where are you taking her?" He asked.
"Home." Melissa answered.
"Why? We were having fun." He was clearly drunk. "We were going to hook up in my room." He said and Todd slammed the car door shut glaring at him.
"What did you say?"
"Oh, who are you?" Trevor scoffed.
"It doesn't matter, but you are not going near her again." Todd hissed.
"Who are you to stop me, I already took her virginity, did you know she's a slut? She hooks up on a daily basis even when we were together, we had the best three sums and…" Trevor was going to finish but Todd's fist shut him up.
"Don't you ever talk about my sister that way!" Todd yelled punching Trevor again.
"Todd!" Melissa yelled grabbing his arm. "Let's just go." She said and Todd scoffed at Trevor and they got in his car. Todd drove away swearing under his breath while Melissa cast glances back at Taylor's sleeping form in the backseat.
"Son of a bitch!" Todd yelled slamming his palms onto the steering wheel at a red light.
"You're her brother?" Melissa asked and Todd nodded.
"Her half." Todd sighed calming down.
"She never mentioned you, well as her brother." Melissa said.
"Ella, mom had me with a guy she knew in college and she was so in love with Mark at the time that she gave me to my dad and managed to hide the pregnancy. She came around till I turned ten, then it stopped and I found out that I had a sister and three years ago I bumped into Taylor. I knew who she was so we got to know each other, she replaced the coffees we dropped and we just sat there and talked. Mom came in to pick her up and nearly fainted when she saw us together. Taylor said I was in college looking for a job and that they were thinking of hiring a driver so they gave it to me. Ella explained to her our relationship and if you saw Taylor's smile that day you would have smiled with her. She was ecstatic to learn she had a big brother but it was a secret. It was a win-win, I got a job and stayed close to my family and managed to pay for college." Todd told her as Taylor stirred in the backseat.
"Does Rachel know?" Melissa asked. If there was one other person other than herself who knew everything about Taylor it was Rachel.
"No. And we can't tell anyone about us yet." Todd sighed.
"Why not?"
"Because then everything in Ella's will goes to me, Taylor gets nothing. I'm her eldest son if people knew about me then rumors and things we aren't ready for will come up. If Rachel gets custody then she becomes the trustee to everything." Todd sighed. "It's better that way. I want to at least finish college before taking the company. Mom wanted it that way."
"Wow." Melissa said.
"A lot to take in I know. But What Trevor said, was it true?" Todd asked. "I knew she hooked up, but she told me she stopped, or rather stopped doing it as much."
"She stopped, but there was a time when hooking up wasn't a problem for her and that was when she got introduced to the bottle, the three sums I know nothing about.." Melissa said.
"She promised me she'd stop."
"She did, about six months ago, well, she toned it down." Melissa said. "Her last hook up was about three months ago." Melissa said looking away.
Todd nearly crashed the car. "With you!"
Melissa blushed and looked down at her hands in her lap. Todd pulled over.
"You and my sister?" Todd asked as Melissa nodded. "When?"
"Over the summer, the day she kissed me, I had a few drinks myself but after we started it didn't stop. She remembers the kiss but doesn't remember the sex." Melissa chocked back a sob and Todd rubbed her shoulder. "I left before she woke up that morning so she thinks she hooked up with some guy that night."
"You fell in love with her." Todd said and Melissa nodded.
"But we can't be together."
"Why not?"
"Because we're Taylor and Melissa, I'm a bitch and she's nice, I bring people down she brings them up and defends them from people like me. I love her but I can't be with her." Melissa sobbed.
"Why?"
"I'll hurt her." Melissa said. "I always hurt the people I love."
"Is it that or are you not ready to tell people you're gay?" Todd asked and Melissa tried to glare but only succeeded in letting more tears fall.
"My dad would hate me, people will look at me differently and Taylor's straight." Melissa said as Todd hugged her.
"Maybe she hooked up with all those guys to make herself believe she was straight?" Todd asked pulling away. "Just think about it, you two can stay at my place tonight." Todd said pulling away from the curb.
Review please. =D
