"Taylor, Lexi, Makena we are so sorry we didn't come home last night but your grandfather has had a heart attack. Your father and I had to leave the party early when we got the call from your grandma. He's resting now; they said he'd get better this time. Hopefully the surgery will work but with his age they never know." I heard their mother's voice break then because it was making her upset to talk about. "We are at Saratoga hospital if you could get here as soon as possible. If Lexi is still there ask to drive her car or call a limo, if you use Lexi's car drop her off home first. I love you both, see you soon." The message ended.
I looked over at Makena and Taylor to see them both crying. My grandfather also died of a heart attack but he had minor ones before that. I didn't have any grandparents left but I could see that they loved theirs. I slowly walked over to them.
"I'm so sorry you guys. Can I drive you to the hospital it's the least I could do. Taylor you should not be driving under theses circumstances. I can't let you call a limo when I'm right here to help." I spoke softly to them.
Taylor look up from hugging Makena and I could see it in his eyes he needed someone else there for him. He couldn't take care of himself and Makena at the same time. I needed to drive them to their grandfather. Taylor didn't have to ask for me to the answer.
"Let me call my friend's family to tell them where I'll be. Makena get ready and Taylor get whatever you need before we go. We'll go through McDonalds' drive through for breakfast. Everything will be fine. When your grandpa sees you there it will give him strength to get through that surgery because love is the best medicine. Trust me I've been there." I told them.
I went over and gave them both a big hug. Then I hugged just Makena in a bear hug before she left to change. I turned to see Taylor with his back to me trying to hide his face from me. I still went to stand in front of him and give him a hug too. That's when he starting crying on my shoulder until his cell phone rang two minutes later.
"Taylorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Why haven't you called meeee?!" I heard a whiny voice say through his phone.
"Selena, I can't deal with this right now. I have other things on my mind." Taylor said into the phone.
I walked out the door to give him privacy and to make my own phone call. But not before I heard him arguing a little that he was not thinking about leaving her for Victoria. Wow someone is afraid of competition.
I dialed Robin's home phone when I was down stairs and hoping Robin would be the one to pick up.
"Hello?" A very tired Jacob said into the phone. Crap I was hoping he wouldn't pick up but he did.
"Hi, Jacob. It's Lexi. Sorry I haven't called but-" he cut me off there.
"Oh so your phone does work." He sounded angry now.
"Yes it does. Listen there's been an emergency." I tried to explain.
"What does someone have to go the hospital? How could you not call me back? Are unable to dial a phone and suddenly your cured? Or are you cheating on me?"
"Would you shut up for one second and get over yourself I can explain before you accuse me of cheating on you?" I yelled into the phone not even hearing Makena and Taylor coming down stairs.
"What could have possible happened that you couldn't come home or call me?" He yelled back at me.
"Well Jacob something did happen that I need to take care of. The parents didn't come home at all last night so I needed to stay with Makena and Taylor because it was already past midnight and something could have happened. In fact something did, we just found out that their parents are at the hospital because something happened to the grandfather. Now I'm going to drive them there because it's the right thing to do. Plus I'll probably get the job and be able to move away from you. We are through Jacob. I don't want to deal with you anymore. I'm hanging up now!" I finally snapped at him and hung up.
"Are you guys ready!" I yelled up the stairs.
"We are right here silly." Makena said behind me.
I turned to see them staring at me with tears still in their eyes from the news but also pity for me in there to. I sighed because they had to hear me yelling at Jacob.
"Who's Jacob?" Makena asked.
"My now ex-boyfriend. So ready for a road trip?" I quickly changed the subject.
"Yup and I grabbed your purse for you and your other clothes." Makena said and handed me my stuff, and headed to the door.
Taylor saw my hesitation and put his hand on the small of my back so he could guide me toward the door. I wrapped my arm around him and we supported each other toward the door. Then Makena went up to Taylor and he picked her up with one arm and held her there while I put my head on his arm that held me up a little.
"Are you okay?" I whispered to him.
"I will be with you and Makena with me." He whispered back, "How are you holding up?"
"I'll be fine as long as you don't let go until I have the seat supporting me." I joked back but he still held me tighter after that.
We made it to the car and Taylor put Makena down without letting go of me. I don't know how that's possible but it worked. Makena went to the seat behind the passenger's side.
"Are you okay sitting by yourself in back Makena?" Taylor said.
"Yeah." She responded quietly.
"Well if you want Taylor to move back there I'll pull over so he can switch seats." I told her since she still look upset.
"Or even Lexi could sit with you." Taylor added.
"Okay." She agreed and got inside.
"I'm fine sitting up front by myself you know." I told Taylor.
"I figured that but if I can't stay strong how will she? Plus who knows if you're alright." He told me.
I got into the car and saw Makena struggling with the seat belt. She looked so cute with the look on her face and she grunted and mumbled how stupid it was. I had to keep my laugh to myself it was too cute. I looked out the passenger window to see Taylor staring at something in the distance. I looked over to see Selena Gomez getting out of the limo as the gate opened. How'd she'd get in I have no idea.
I rolled down the passenger's window to ask Taylor something because he looked pissed.
"Everything okay Taylor?" I asked.
"I just don't want to deal with her right now." He told me.
Finally Selena reached us and also looked pissed and was glaring at Taylor.
"I told you I couldn't talk right now." Taylor said.
"I can see why so you can run off with your other girlfriend." She snapped.
"Lexi is not my girlfriend she's going to be Makena's babysitter. Right now I need to get to the hospital and my parents have my car so Lexi is bringing Makena and me there." Taylor explained.
"Sure why are you going to the hospital and why aren't your parents home?" Selena questioned Taylor.
"My parents had to go to bring my grandma to the hospital because that's where my grandpa is because of a heart attack."
"Why couldn't I bring you?"
"Because Lexi was already here watching Makena but then my parents called saying my grandpa wanted to see us before his surgery." Well at least was sticking to the main truth but it's better if he doesn't go into detail.
"You know being your girlfriend-"
"I need to get going because it takes awhile to get there and his surgery is in an hour. Now your not dying because I didn't call you so I can deal with you later." Taylor said and got in my car before she could say anything else.
What was with the relationships today? Is there a full moon or something?
