Pain
"Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found."

I just got home when I received a text. I pulled out my cell phone and saw it was from Taylor. A smile crept up on my face as I read it:
Hey Lohi, lets meet at Starbucks at 10 am. See you there :)
I put my phone away as I unlocked my door to my apartment. I heard my TV on and realized my boyfriend must be over.
"David?" I said
"I'm here baby." David said while slurring. 'Oh no he must be drunk..' I said to myself and frowned. I walked into my living room and I immediately smelled the alcohol. David got up and walked towards me and hugged me.
"Ewww you smell like alcohol all over." I said while trying to push away from him.
"Hey where are you going?" He slurred while clinging onto me. I became a little scared as I continued to push away. He began to grope me as I began to be a little more frantic about pushing him away.
"STOP IT DAVID!" I screamed at him. He stopped and gave me the most hatred glare I have ever seen him have.
"Fine I'll stop, you stupid little slut!" He said while ending it with a slap right across my face. My face burned and my eyes overflowed with tears once again as I held it in my hands. I can't believe he hit me. At that moment my phone rang and I pulled it out of my pocket.
David yanked it from my hands but I caught a glimpse of who was calling. It was Taylor.
"Hello?" David yelled into the phone.
"Give me my phone back, please.." I said while crying
"Shut up you stupid filthy whore!" he yelled at me " Hello? Who the hell is this?" he yelled once again into the phone.
I somehow yanked the phone away from him and shoved it into my pocket.
"Who was that? Was that your 'other' boyfriend? Huh?" he screamed at me as I was shaking my head. He pushed me against the wall, feeling immediate pain as my head hit it pretty hard. My phone started to ring again as I gave David a look of pure horror. He raised up his hand and punched me right in the jaw, my body crumpling to the floor.
"Stop, please.." I whispered.
"Whatever, you stupid whore. I gotta pee so you better not move from that spot because im not done with you yet" David said while walking off to the bathroom.
I took this opportunity to grab my purse and keys and ran out to my car. I turned my car on and drove out of my driveway. I didn't know where I was going, I just wanted to get away. I drove for a good 15 minutes, so many things were going thru my head as I pulled over to the side of the road. I began to cry hysterically then my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and saw it was Taylor.
Taylor's POV
For some reason, I couldn't get her out of my mind. I don't know if it was guilt but I just couldn't be away from her. Like I had to protect her and make sure she was safe. I guess it was also a fact that she didn't get all fan-girly on me too. I chuckled as I pulled out my cell and typed:
Hey Lohi, lets meet at Starbucks at 10 am. See you there :)
I put my cell away as Stacy came down the stairs, frantically looking for me. I sighed as I realized what I would have to deal with now.
"Where were you? What the hell Taylor! I swear it's like you don't love me anymore!" Stacy pretty much screamed at me. Something inside me snapped. It's like all those years of patience finally came undone in just mere seconds.
"Stacy! Jesus... Why the hell do you always have to make a scene? Maybe I would have shown more affection towards you if you weren't such a bitch! What happened to the nice girl I fell in love with? The girl that would sneak off in the middle of night just so we could talk and just laugh the whole night away?" I said as my voice softening. I watched Stacy lower her head as she quietly sobbed.
"I don't know... I don't know Taylor... she disappeared quite awhile ago... Jealousy just overcame me. Then I just... I don't know..." She trailed off.
"You fell out of love with me?" I said, finishing her sentence. I watched her as she slowly nodded her head. I pulled her into a hug as she continued to sob in my arms.
"It's okay. It happens to even the best of people. We both knew it was gonna end one day..." I added as I brushed her hair away from her face. Stacy glanced up and smiled at me.
"I'm sorry for everything Taylor." Stacy whispered.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it." I said as I kissed her forehead.
"I guess I'll head back to the hotel and start packing. My mom was starting to miss me like crazy since I've been away from her for so long." Stacy said with a slight chuckle. I nodded as I watched her walk off, probably for the last time. I crossed the street from the restaurant and sat on the wall, watching the small waves on the beach hit the shore. I glanced up at the stars, for once feeling peace within myself. I checked the time on my cell and saw it was only 10:30 PM. I decided to call Lohi to see if she could make it out tomorrow.
"What hurts the most
was being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
Never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what I was trying to do"
I hummed while I listened to her ring back tone. I chuckled as I realized it was a remixed version of Rascal Flatts "what hurts the most".
"Hello?" Some guy screamed into the phone. I remained silent thinking I had the wrong number. I was about to hang up when I heard Lohi in the background "Give me my phone back please.."
"Shut up you stupid filthy whore! Hello? Who the hell is this?" The guy yelled into the phone again. I heard shuffling noises and then a click. I looked down at my phone and saw whoever it was, hung up on me. This sudden rage went thru me, wanting to protect Lohi. I needed to know where she was so I decided to call again. All I got was her ring back tone then a voice mail as I hung up. I decided to walk down the beach a little to clear my mind. 'What is going on Taylor? Get a hold of yourself.' I told myself. 'What is happening to me... why do I feel so protective around her?' I shook my head and gave in and called again.
"Hello?" I heard Lohi's voice say quietly.
