RECAP:
You walked into your room to see Taylor waiting for you.
"Suprise!" she said. You smiled.
START:
You sat down on the floor with Shari, Brenna, and Taylor.
"I can't believe you're here!" you said. Taylor smiled.
"Me and the girls decided since I was the only one that didn't have a boyfriend, and had enough money, I would come and see you," she said.
"Oh cool! So how is everyone? I haven't talked to you guys for a few weeks," you said.
"We're doing great! Jolene's dating Dane again! They've been dating for about three weeks," she said.
"What about Red? She over Cole yet?" you asked.
"Yeah, she has been. She's got a crush on some kid named Stephen now," Taylor said.
"Ooohh..." you said.
"Yeah and Bee's doing okay. Her parents moved her away though. She lives in Rathdrum now," Taylor said.
"Aw man! So um, how's the band goin'?" you asked, slowly. Taylor hesitated.
"That's one of the reasons I wanted to come here... We want you to come back to America with me. Just for a month or so. You have no idea how many people want us to have a concert. And we signed with Radio Disney. We're going to be singing the songs in Lady and the Tramp 2! How cool is that!?" Taylor said.
"That's great! I am so going back with you! People actually like us?" you asked.
"Yeah! And we've sold so many CD's! It's amazing!" she said. Your eyes shone brightly.
"Wow..." you whispered.
"And so many reporters have been talking to us, wondering where you are. Just yesterday we told them you were here. We've been talking about it forever. And we finally decided to tell people." she said.
"Oh, wow... Reporters huh?" you asked.
"Yeah. And we got to go to New York for a Disney thing. And we were on Good Morning America! Oh my gosh Tailer it's awesome! So many people would die to meet us!" she said, smiling greatly.
"Wow..." you said quietly.
"Please just think about coming home with me. For a month. I know that it's hard for you since you just got your memory back and everything, but just think about it. I'm leaving in like two weeks. We're going to be doing signings around the States," she said.
"I-I'll think about it... So, anything else new back home?" you asked.
"Oh yeah, uh... Missy's kinda part of the group now," Taylor said slowly.
"What?" you asked in a sharp whisper.
"Yeah. Jolene and Red met Missy when I was talking to her one day during lunch a few weeks ago. And Jolene invited her to sit with us," Taylor said.
"I hate that girl! Why are you guys friends with her in the first place!?" you asked.
"I-I guess it's cause she's so much like you... I mean c'mon! You haven't noticed the similarities between you both? You even look alike," she said.
"You're replacing me! With someone I despise!" you said.
"No! We're not!" she said.
"No! You are! Why did you even bother coming to see if I'll come back to America if you've replaced me!? I mean, you don't need Tailer! You can use Missy in the Little Soldiers! Who cares that she can't even sing, she can just lip-sync to the songs I worked so hard to write!" you said.
Shari and Brenna were sitting in between you and Taylor. Just watching like a tennis match.
"Forget it! We thought you'd be happy we wanted you back. We should just have Missy take over your spot! If you're going to be a bitch about it!" Taylor snapped as she stood up and walked out of the room. You heard the door slam and you angrily stood up and walked out to your balcony to think.
Brenna and Shari exchanged looks. Then they walked into the living room and watched TV. Deciding to let Tailer think things through for a while.
**With Taylor**
She stormed out of Tailer's apartment slamming the door. She walked away from the apartment complex, not having a clue where she was going.
'I can't believe Tailer and I just fought! We haven't fought in over a year and a half!' She thought.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice where she was walking. She ran smack into someone. She picked herself up off the ground and turned to face the person she ran into.
"I'm so sorry!" she said.
"Oh, it's alright," he said. Taylor looked at him.
"Izzy..uh...sorry about that..." she said as a slight blush appeared on her features.
"It's alright. My car just stopped. And I had to pull over," he said. (Me: I STILL can't see them driving! lol it's hilarious!)
"Oh, uh any luck?" she asked.
"Nope. Hey, will you stear? I'm going to push and get it into this parking lot," he asked.
"Yeah, sure," Taylor said as she got in the driver's side to stear the car.
'Holy cow... He doesn't look strong enough to push a car...' Taylor thought as she steared the car.
Once they got it parked somewhere, she got out of the car and Izzy grabbed his backpack with his laptop and his other things out of the car. Then he locked it and turned to Taylor.
"Would you like to walk with me back to Tailer's?" he asked.
"No thanks. Tailer and I got in a little fight. I really don't want to go back right now. I want to cool off," she said.
"Oh, well, can I accompany you as you cool off?" Izzy asked. Taylor smiled at him.
"Yeah, sure," she said. They started walking in silence.
"May I ask what you and Tailer agrued about?" Izzy asked politely. Taylor nodded.
"Well, we were just talking about things. And I mentioned that me and the girls have a new friend. Well, Tailer absolutely hates her. And they're so much alike. It felt like we had Tailer back with us. So I told her that and she just flipped! Me and the girls really wanted her to come and spend a month or so on tour with us in America. And she just told us to have Missy do it since they look alike. It's just weird... I mean, we know she doesn't like Missy, but we tried to take hold of the fact that Tailer had a new life here, but we couldn't. So in a way I guess she was right becuase we kinda did replace her..." Taylor said.
Izzy listened intently to Taylor. He watched her face as she talked about the problem. She was staring at the ground the entire time; she kept pushing her small purple glasses back onto the bridge of her nose.
"Really? She actually lashed out at you? But you're her best friend! That's not like her at all..." Izzy said.
"Yeah. I mean, we want her to come home so bad, we want her to spend time with us again. It almost seems like she forgot about us. And it's only been like a month," she said.
"I'm sorry you feel like that," Izzy said.
"Yeah... Well, I'm going to head back," Taylor said.
"Okay," Izzy said. He stopped and Taylor continued walking. She looked back at him.
"Are you coming or are you going to stand there all day?" she asked chuckling. A slight redness appeared on his face as he quickly walked to catch up with her.
"Sorry about that..." he murmered.
The pair walked in silence for a while. Their hands kept accidently bumping into the others. Taylor was trying to decypher whether or not she'd say something. She hesitated and then she put her hands in her pockets.
"Soo... Uh how's school?" Taylor asked slowly. Izzy shrugged.
"Good I guess," Izzy mumbled.
'What do I do? No one other than the gang's ever really talked to me before...' Izzy thought.
"So um, Tailer told me you were younger than the others," Taylor said.
"Uh yeah. I am. I'm a year younger. But I'm in all their classes because I'm smarter than them," he said smiling. Taylor chuckled.
**Tailer/Your POV**
You sat on the balcony staring off into space.
'Wow Tay and I got in an argument... It's weird... Should I go back to America or no? It would be fun to go on tour and everything. But, people still hate me because of Hayley...' you thought.
You walked into your room after a while and you saw the room was empty. You walked into the living room and you saw Brenna and Shari talking to Taylor and Izzy.
"Izzy, what are you doing back here?" you asked. They all looked at you, just noticing that you were in the room.
"Oh, my car broke down about a mile or so away," he said.
"Really? Do you want me to go check it out?" you asked.
"Could you?" he asked. You chuckled.
"Of course. I'll go grab my keys and we'll go check it out," you said as you walked back into your room. You grabbed your keys, wallet, Digivice ect, and you walked back into the living room.
"Ready?" you asked.
"Yep. See you later, guys. Bye, Taylor," Izzy said softly. You eyed the two of them smirking slightly.
"Let's go. I'll be back in a few. Don't burn anything," you said chuckling as you walked out the door, Izzy following you.
"So, you fancy my best friend, eh?" you asked as you started towards your bike. He avoided your gaze.
"I knew it!" you said smiling. "How'd it happen?"
"I was looking at my car and she ran into me. She said you guys had a fight or something. And we just walked around and talked for a while," he said.
"Okay... Weird but cute. Two nerds together!" you said smiling. Izzy mock-glared at you.
"Joke, dude!" you said laughing as you got on your bike. Izzy got on behind you and grabbed hold of your waist.
You started up your Honda and you took off out of the parking lot.
"Where's your car?" you asked.
"In this parking lot here!" he shouted over the wind in reply. You turned into a parking lot off onto the right and you parked the bike right next to his car. (Me: Still!! I can't see it! lol But I do picture Izzy in a small red Nissan. One of those old ones that were made in the 90's)
"Alrighty, let's see what's wrong with this puppy," you said as you got off the bike and walked to his car.
"Pop the hood, will ya?" you said as you stood in front of the car. Izzy unlocked the car and he pulled the lever to open the hood. You propped it up and you took a look.
"Plastic stuff, rubber stuff, and look! Metal stuff!" you said.
"I thought you knew about cars..." Izzy said in disbelief. You laughed.
"It's from a TV show! It's on Recess. T.J. and his friend's school bus breaks down and he tries to fix it. But it ends up that Gretchen and Spinelli fix it," you said.
"You watch way too much TV..." he said. You just smiled at him as you examined the engine.
"There's nothing wrong in here," you said about five minutes later.
"So why'd it stop then?" he asked. You looked in the driver's side window and gave Izzy a look that clearly said "You-Are-a-Dipshit."
"What's that face about?" he asked. You pointed to the gasoline gauge.
"You ran out of gas you idiot!" you said.
"No way..." he said. You smacked him across the back of the head.
"Idiot..." you mumbled.
"Shut up..." he muttered.
"Well, I'll be right back. You stay here while I go get you some gasoline," you said as you got back on the bike.
"Got it! Oh wait! You need the gallon!" he said. He tossed you a gallon tank for the gas.
You took off out of the parking lot and you headed for the gas station at the end of the block. You decided that since you were here, you'd refil your own gasoline tank as well. You parked your bike and started pumping the gas into the bike.
"Tailer?" a voice questioned. You turned around and saw someone you recognized. He had white-ish blonde hair and dark eyes.
"Dray?" you asked.
"Hey sis. What ever happened to you coming to race with me?" he asked as you gave him a hug.
"I got amnesia. Just suddenly about a week ago..." you said.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm better now," you said.
"Thank goodness. Now, you are going to come to the track tomorrow and race. And you're going to bring your friends, got it?" he said.
"Got it. But I can't race with this bike," you said, pointing to your Honda.
"Oh no worries. We have a new bike that needs testing," he said smirking.
"You're awesome, Big Brother! Oh, and when are you going to stop dyeing your hair? It looks funny when it's white," you said.
"Fine. I'll dye my hair back to it's original color, alright?" he said.
"Good! I'll see you tomorrow then?" you said.
"Yup. You know where to go, right?" he asked.
"Erm..." you said. He chuckled and he pulled out a slip of paper and a pen. He wrote down the address and handed it to you.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Bring everyone. Especially that boyfriend of yours..." he said.
"Got it. See ya later!" you said as you got on your bike and zipped out of the gas station.
You drove back to the parking lot that Izzy's car was in. He was sitting in the driver's side playing on his laptop. He looked up when he heard your bike. You turned off the Honda and walked over to Izzy with the gallon of gasoline.
"Here. What are you doing tomorrow?" you asked as you handed the gallon to him.
"Tomorrow? Uh, I think I'm just going to be at home," he said.
"Well, you're coming to my place. Cause I ran into Dray at the station, and he's making me race tomorrow since I haven't yet," you said.
"Oh uh, okay," he said.
He turned the key in the ignition of his car and it turned on.
"Well, you're all fixed, so I'm going to go back to my apartment and be bored. Later, Iz!" you said as you got back on your bike and started back to your apartment.
You parked your bike and you walked up to Tai's apartment. You hesitated at first, then you knocked on the door. Kari came and opened the door.
"Hey Tailer," she said.
"Is Tai in?" you asked.
"Yeah. He's in the room packing," she said as she held open the door.
"Packing? For what?" you asked as you stepped in and closed the door.
"Oh, we're getting separate rooms finally," she said smiling.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" you asked. She tried to hide her grin.
"No reason. Just go on in," she said as she walked into the office. You eyed her as she walked away, then you walked to Kari and Tai's room. You knocked quietly on the door.
"Come in," came his reply. You opened the door and stepped in. He was digging in the closet for something. You closed the door behind you, and he looked up at you.
"Hey," he said softly.
"Hey," you said awkwardly.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing really... Just packing. We're finally getting separate rooms," he said.
"That's cool," you replied.
You both stood in awkward silence for too long.
"Okay then. I'll let you get back to packing, alright?" you said as you started for the door.
"Tailer, wait!" he said. You turned around and Tai scooped you into his arms, and he placed his lips on yours. He kissed you slowly, eagerly, savoring the taste of your lips. He finally pulled away with a sense of reluctancy.
"I've been waiting all week to do that," he said. You smiled at him and hugged him close. You pulled away a few seconds later.
"I've got to go. Taylor and I got in a fight and I need to talk to her," you said.
"Yeah. I'll talk to you later," he said. You left a lingering kiss on his lips before you walked out of his apartment and back to your own.
You walked back over to your own apartment and stepped inside. Taylor, Brenna, and Shari all looked at you as you walked inside.
"Took you long enough. What was wrong with his car?" Brenna asked.
"He was out of gas..." you said.
"He was out of gas!? And he didn't know that!?" Shari asked.
"Yeah, I guess Izzy's just an idiot when it comes to cars, but he's a freakin genius when it comes to computers," you said.
"So, Tay, question," you said.
"Yeah?" she asked from the couch.
"Do you like Iz?" you asked. She looked away.
"No," she said.
"Liar. Well, even though you don't like him, I just think you should know that he likes you," you said smirking slightly as you walked into your room. You layed down on your bed and stared at the top bunk.
**With Brenna, Shari, and Taylor**
Taylor was sitting on the couch while Brenna and Shari were sitting on the floor.
"So Izzy finally likes a girl. How weird is that?" Brenna said.
"Yeah. Tailer and the others said that they've never known Izzy to have liked a girl," Shari said.
"So are you saying that he's never had a girlfriend before?" Taylor asked.
"Never. He's prolly never been kissed too," Shari said.
"Wow..." Taylor said.
'He's never been kissed too? Wow... Are nerds really left out?' she wondered.
"But I'm sure Taylor's going to rid him of his kissing virginity!" Brenna said smirking. Taylor looked away.
"Wow Tailer was right, Tay, you really do like him!" Shari said.
"Would you just shut up about it!? I do not like Izzy like that!" she said. Just then the door opened and Izzy became visible. The look of disappointment clearly showed on his face. Taylor took one look at him and went into the bedroom.
You sat up on your bed as Taylor barged into the room and sat in the computer chair.
"Woah, Tay, what's going on out there?" you asked.
"Brenna and Shari were going on and on about me and Izzy and I just yelled that I don't like him, and then Izzy opened the front door. I know he heard what I said," she said.
"That sucks... Wait, he's back?" you asked as you walked out into the living room.
"Izzy, what are you going back?" you asked.
"Your mom and Rich are here. I saw them drive by," he said.
"Shit..." you muttered.
"Is that a bad thing?" Taylor asked as she walked out of your room. Everyone looked at her. Taylor refused to make eye contact with Izzy, she didn't even look at him.
"Yeah, my mom's a total bitch and I hate her," you said.
"Really?" Tay asked.
"Yeah she is. I'll stay here just to be safe. Do you want me to get Tai?" Izzy said.
"I'll go get him," Shari said as she stood up and walked out the door.
"This sucks. I mean, I'm glad she's letting Shari and me stay here, but she's a total bitch," Brenna said.
The door opened and Shari and Tai walked in. You let out the breath you didn't realize you were holding as Tai came up to you and wrapped his arms around you. He held you for a second then you got out of his arms and sat down on the couch. Tai stood standing, in a manor that made it seem as if he was guarding you. The door opened slowly and Rich stepped inside the apartment, followed by your mother. Rich smiled as he saw you and your friends while your mother stared emotionless at you.
"Taila, I've come up with something. Since you don't like me, and I'm not fond of you, I'm allowing you to move in with whoever you want. I want you out of my house," she said. You stood up.
"It's about time," you said emotionlessly as you walked into your room to start packing your things.
Tai and the others followed you into your room and saw you throwing things into boxes that you had saved from when you moved here.
"Wow she is a bitch now," Taylor said.
"Yeah, and what's worse is she's going to have another kid. I feel sorry for that poor kid," you said as you threw your clothes into the box.
"What about Shari and Brenna? You're not seriously going to let them stay here alone are you?" Izzy said.
"I have to. Sorry guys. But she won't try anything as long as she's pregnant and she can be arrested if anything happens to you two," you said.
"Where are you going to go?" Tai asked. You still hadn't stopped throwing things into boxes, and you haven't looked up at anyone.
"I guess I'll see if I can stay with Dray for a while. Until I get my own place at least," you said.
It was silent in the room as you took your things. Brenna, Shari, and Taylor slowly started picking up your things and tossing them into the boxes. Tai and Izzy soon joined in and in no time, all your things were into boxes.
"What about your dresser, bed, and computer?" Shari asked.
"I'll leave it for you guys. You need it more than me. I'll have a couch to sleep on, I can put my clothes in Dray's closet cause he doesn't use it. And I've got a laptop waiting for me at his place too. He's suppose to get me one, so I'll leave it for you," you said.
"So you really are leaving, huh?" Shari said.
"Yup. I'll be across town. But I'll still see you guys at school, and on weekends," you said.
"I'll still miss you," Brenna said.
"Renna..." you said quietly.
"No more balcony trips," Tai said quietly.
"Yeah..." you whispered. The room became silent and still. You picked up your cell phone and dialed Draco's cell phone number.
"Dray Matthews," he said.
"Hey Big Brother," you said.
"TaiTai, what's up?" he asked.
"Mom finally kicked me out. And I need a place to crash until I get my own place," you said.
"She's kicking you out!? Oh wait until I tell Dad!" he said.
"Dray no! Don't tell Daddy! I want out of this hell hole. I want to live on my own, okay. So, can I just please crash at your place for a while?" you asked. He sighed.
"Yeah alright. But you have to promise me you'll call Dad and tell him," he said.
"Alright, I'll call Dad. When can I come over? I've already got my things packed," you said.
"Um... I guess you can come over now. I'll head back to my apartment to meet you there," he said.
"Oh my gosh, are you at the track?" you asked.
"Yeah. But they'll understand as soon as I tell them the story. I'll just say that my star racer little sis got kicked out of my mom's place so she's actually going to be able to race with us," he said. You laughed.
"You do that. Oh but, I have no clue where you live..." you said. He laughed at you.
"Right! I'll come and pick you up so we can pile your things in my truck," he said.
"Right on. I'll be ready for you," you said.
"Got it. See you in a few," he said.
"Laters!" you said before you closed your cell phone.
"Well?" Tai asked.
"I'm able to stay with him. Oh, and I'm making y'all come to the track to watch me race tomorrow, k," you said.
"No way! You're going to be racing again!?" Taylor asked.
"Yup yup! I can't wait!" you said.
"Wow I never thought you'd start racing again... Ever since the accident I mean," she said.
"Accident? What accident?" Tai asked.
"Dray was in a bike accident when he was racing. It was what three years ago?" you asked Taylor.
"Yeah I think so," she said.
"Anyways, my Dad made me promise not to race again, and I didn't. It scared me to death. I watched my brother's bike completely lose control, and he ran smack into a wall. He was in the hospital for like a month with injuries," you said.
"Wow... And he still races?" Shari asked.
"Yep. He's amazing. My brother's my idol," you said.
"Wow..." Shari said dreamily. You eyed her suspiciously.
"Dude, do you like my bro?" you asked. Her head snapped up and a light tint of red appeared on her cheeks.
"No! I don't even know him," she said. You smirked.
"You do like him! You like my big brother!" you said laughing.
"Shut up, Tailer," she said. You quieted your laughing, and you looked at her with a grin plastered to your face.
"It's cute. But anyways, you have my blessing!" you said. She threw a pillow at you from the bed.
"Shut up..." she muttered as her face reddened.
It went silent in the room as you heard a muffled yelling. It became clear as Tai slowly opened the bedroom door a crack.
"Get away from my house you disgrace!" your mom yelled.
"I'm here to get Tailer! I don't have to leave if I don't want to!" Dray's voice sounded.
"I don't care if you're here to get that bitch away from me or not! I want you away from here!" she yelled.
"You're lucky you're a pregnant woman!" Dray snapped.
"Is that a threat!?" your mom shouted.
"It's a promise. Tailer, are you ready?" he asked as he saw you behind your mom.
"As ready as I'll ever be," you said coldly as you walked back into your room so you could grab your things.
"I'm heading out guys. Will you help me take my things out?" you asked.
"Yeah sure," Taylor said.
Everyone grabbed a box and started for the front door. You ran into your mom, by accident of course, on your way out.
"Oops. Sorry," you said snobbily.
She glared at you as you went through the door and down to the parking lot where Dray's white truck was waiting. You piled the boxes into the back. Soon you had all your things into his truck and you were ready to go. You were sitting in the tailgate area of the truck and the other were circled around you.
"Oh, Dray, you never met the rest of my gang, did you?" you asked. He shook his head.
"Nope. I just know Matt and Izzy," he said.
"Oh, well this is Brenna, this is my boyfriend Tai, and this is the lovelyful Shari," you said winking. Dray shook hands with each one of them and he gently kissed the top of Shari's hand.
"Nice to meet you," he said. Shari blushed faintly and shuffled her feet. You smirked at the sight.
"Oh, you remember Taylor, right Dray?" you asked.
"Well well well, if it isn't Little-Miss-Smarty-Pants. How ya been Tay?" he asked as he gave her a noogie. She glared at him as she flattened her hair.
"Fine," she said. Dray laughed.
"Hey! What's with the gathering!?" a voice asked from above you. You all looked up and you saw Brock running down the stairs to join the group.
"I heard yelling and I was wondering what happened," he said.
"My mom finally kicked me out! Isn't it great!?" you asked smiling.
"Where are you going to stay?" he asked.
"With my awesome big brother what's where!" you said as you pointed your thumb at Dray. Dray and Brock rapped knuckles.
"How's it goin little dude?" Dray asked.
"Pretty good. Oh my gosh... That's not... Please no!" Brock said. You turned around smirking as you saw Taylor standing there glaring at him.
"If it isn't you're bi-polar bitchy little best friend," Brock said.
"Shut your trap. Or I'll tell everyone your name," she said smirking.
"You wouldn't dare," he threatened. Her smirk grew.
"Broccoli-Cauliflower-Trout-Fish! Hahaha!" she said laughing. Brock lunged at her, but he was caught by you and Dray. (Me: heh I made up that nickname for Brock when I was in first grade. Cause his last name was Trout at one time! lmao!!)
"Let me at her!" he said as he struggled to get free. Everyone laughed at his desperate struggle.
"Will you settle down so I can leave?" you asked as you and Dray let Brock fall to the ground. Brock glared at you.
"Oh Dray, Taylor kinda gave me a suprise visit. So, she kinda needs to stay with us..." you said.
"You're kidding me... I only have one couch you know," he said.
"We'll trade. Please? Just for this week. She's leaving at the end of the week, I think," you said.
"Fine," he gave in.
"How can you do that!? He never gives in to the rest of us!" Taylor said.
"Yeah!" Brock followed.
"My puppy eyes can make anyone weak!" you said laughing.
"Not really..." Taylor muttered.
"Yep. Anyone. I have yet to meet a person that could stand my puppy eyes!" you said smiling.
"Really?" Tai asked.
"Really," you said.
"Try me," he said, determined. You smirked and walked up to him.
"Bad choice, Tai," Taylor and Brock said in unison. Tai stared down at you as you pouted and made your famous puppy eyes.
"Tai..." you said sweetly.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Will you give me a kiss before I go?" you asked.
"Ungh... N-No," he said, trying not to give in to your face.
"Please? I'll feel so lonely if you don't..." you said. Tai looked around the group for help. They all laughed at his stuggling. His eyes met back with yours.
"Fine!" he said before he leaned down and put his lips to yours. He wrapped his arms around your waist and he pulled you to his chest. You smirked into his lips, and he soon pulled away.
"Ha. I win," you said smirking.
"Not fair..." he whined.
**Dray's POV**
Tailer gave Dray the dreaded puppy eyes.
'Oh shit...' he thought.
"We'll trade. Please? Just for this week. She's leaving at the end of the week, I think," she said.
"Fine," he gave in.
"How can you do that!? He never gives in to the rest of us!" Taylor said.
"Yeah!" Broco followed.
"My puppy eyes can make anyone weak!" she said laughing.
"Not really..." Taylor muttered.
"Yep. Anyone. I have yet to meet a person that could stand my puppy eyes!" Tailer said smiling.
"Really?" Tai asked.
"Really," she said.
"Try me," he said, determined. Tailer smirked and walked up to him.
'He's going down.' he thought
"Bad choice, Tai," Taylor and Brock said in unison. Tai stared at Tailer as she readied her imfamous puppy eyes.
"Tai..." she said sweetly.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Will you give me a kiss before I go?" she asked.
"Ungh... N-No," he said.
'Yep, I knew it. He's done for.' he thought.
"Please? I'll feel so lonely if you don't..." Tailer said. Tai looked around the group for help. They all laughed at his stuggling. He looked back at Tailer.
"Fine!" he said before he leaned down and kissed her sweetly. He wrapped his arms around her waist and he pulled her close.
'Wow Tailer looks so happy. I don't think I've ever seen her like this before. She's so different when she's with Tai. It's not like her to actually ask for a kiss.' he thought.
Dray met eyes with Brock. Brock nodded to him.
"Ha. I win," Tailer said smirking.
"Not fair..." he whined. Tailer smiled and Dray took note of everything. Her eyes were actually shining in the dark brown orbs of color. That had never happened before. Even when she was with Brock. Or whenever she was with Kyler.
"Are we going to go? Or stay here forever?" Dray asked.
"Hold your horses, Dray. I have to say goodbye," Tailer said.
"TaiTai, you're going to see them tomorrow! We have to go so you can get unpacked with whatever," he said. Tailer sighed in annoyance.
"Fine. I'll come here tomorrow morning around nine for you guys. Can you get Matt and Tk here? Cause I want all of you to come!" Tailer said.
"I'll call Matt tonight," Brock said.
"Great! Well, Taylor and I had better get going. You got your stuff, Tay?" she asked.
"Yup. It's already in there," she said.
"Great. Hey, I'm gonna ride my bike and I'll just follow you," she said to Dray.
"Alright," he said.
**Tailer/your POV**
You went over and got your Honda all set up. You walked it over to where the others were.
"Ready?" you asked.
"Yep. Get in Taylor," Dray said as he got in the driver's side of his truck. Taylor got in the other side after saying goodbye to the others(minus Izzy cause she was still weird about earlier)
You walked over to Tai, and looked at him.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi. I think you have something for me," you said. He raised his eyebrow.
"And what would that be?" he asked smiling. You pointed to your cheek.
"Still don't get it," he said. You rolled your eyes as you chuckled.
"Kiss me, damnit," you said. He laughed and he quickly kissed you on the cheek.
"There you go," he said. You stuck your tongue out at him. He just stared at you.
"Fine then," you said as you started walking away.
"See you later guys!" you waved. You tossed the bike helmet into the back of Dray's truck and you got settled on your bike. You looked at Tai, expecting him to run up to you. He didn't move. You turned on the bike and you got ready to go. You were still sitting side-saddle on one half the bike.
Tai walked over to you and took hold of your chin.
"Don't make anything of that, okay. It was all a joke," he said quietly.
"Promise me you won't do it again. It's weird," you said.
"I promise," he said.
"Good. Now, do me a favor," you said.
"What?" he asked.
"Kiss me," you said.
"No problems there," he said before he put his lips to yours.
He kissed you slowly and passionately. You completely forgot that the others were watching you. The sound of your Honda was left in the background. The only thing that mattered was you and Tai.
You licked his bottom lip, and he opened his mouth slightly. Your tongues wrestled around for a while, playing a game of tag, it seemed. You finally pulled away, breathlessly. Tai smacked his lips together and smiled at you.
"Wow," he said. You laughed.
"Wow yourself, Kamiya. I'm going to go. I'll call you later or something, okay," you said. He pouted. You chuckled.
"Puppy eyes don't work on me!" you said.
"Damn... Fine, I'll talk to you later," he said. He kissed you quickly on the lips before you got settled and took off out the parking lot behind Draco's truck.
After about fifteen minutes of driving, Dray pulled into an apartment complex. It looked like it was designed off a log cabin. Each building was wood decorated and the grass was green. There was a fountain in the courtyard, and a pool around the corner from there. Dray parked his truck at the far end of the complex, and you parked near him.
"Nice crib, Big Bro," you said as you checked out the area.
"Yeah, I guess it's nice," he said. You and Taylor stared at him dumbfounded.
"The racetrack pays for it. But I've lived at a better place before," he said.
"Wow..." Taylor said.
"So which one's ours?" you asked.
"Follow me. Once I show it to you, you can bring your things," he said.
"You got it, dude!" you said smiling. He shook his head at you and you followed him to his apartment.
The apartment was on the bottom floor, thank goodness.
"This is it," he said as he stopped at a door labeled "1034-B"
"Okay then," you said.
He unlocked the door and stepped inside. You and Taylor followed him inside and you took a look at the surroundings.
The apartment was dark. There was a couch and TV set up on the left side when you walked in. Then behind a wall also on the left was the kitchen. To the right of that was a small dining table. Then there was a hallway that led to the bathroom, Dray's bedroom and the office.
"You can stay here until you get an apartment. But please, try and get an apartment," he said.
"It's not like you're going to bring a girl home," Taylor said.
"You never know. Shari's actually stupid enough to like him," you said.
"I don't know whether to take offence to that, or hug you," he said.
"Why would you hug her? She just burned you!" Taylor said.
"Because she just said that Shari likes me," he said smiling.
"Wow he looks like Christmas came early," you snickered and Dray mock-glared at you.
"Shut up and stop ruining my moment!" he said. You and Taylor laughed at him.
"Okay, so this is it. I'll go grab things and we'll try and get settled," you said.
"Alright. Just put your extra boxes in the office. But make sure I'm still able to use the computer and stuff, okay," he said.
"Gotcha! We'll be back!" you said as you and Taylor walked out the door and back to his truck.
"So Dray likes Shari?" Taylor asked, as she handed you a box from the truck.
"Yeah, I guess so," you said, "It's kinda cute if you think about it. I can so see them together!"
"I guess so. Hey why's his hair like that? It's like he's going all 'Draco Malfoy!'" Taylor said. You laughed.
"I guess Draco is becoming Malfoy!" you said laughing. You both grabbed your boxes and started back to the apartment.
"So, have a nice kiss?" Taylor asked smirking.
"Shit I forgot all of you were watching..." you said. She laughed.
"It was kinda gross to watch actually," she said.
"Yeah I bet. So, what's with you and Izzy? Are you guys cool yet?" you asked.
"No. I haven't even looked at him," she said.
"Really? You did see how hurt he was, right?" you asked. She sighed.
"Yes. But... I just don't know..." she said.
"This is going to sound kind of weird, but you're the first girl he's ever really liked," you said.
"You're kidding me! Why the hell would he ever like me!?" she asked.
"Because you're just like him. You're quiet, smart, you're both total losers and you're my best friends," you said. A very small smile appeared on her face.
"Please make up with him. Just call him and talk to him. Say that I'm being a loser and I'm talking to Tai too much so you decided to call him," you said.
"I'm good," she said.
"C'mon Tay!! Please call Izzy and tell him sorry! He's like my brother, if he's sad I want to help him," you said.
"No... It'd be weird..." she said.
"I don't care. You'd be telling me the same thing right now if it was me! So, I'm telling you to get your ass inside, grab your cell phone, and call Izzy!" you said.
"Fine," she said, giving in as she walked inside the apartment.
"Don't you even think about helping me anymore. I want you to stay on the phone with Izzy. Get it?" you said.
"Got it," she said.
"Good," you said as you walked out the door back to the truck to grab more boxes.
You climbed into the back of the truck and lifted another box. As you were doing that, you heard someone whistle. You stood up and glared. There was a small group of boys standing a few yards from you. You got out of the truck and walked up to them.
"Tyler!?" you asked startled. Your half brother stared back at you with wide eyes. (Me: REMEMBER! Tyler has a British accent! lol ^.^)
"TaiTai!?" he said.
"What the hell are you doing!?" you asked.
"I-I uh," he studdered.
"Dude do you know her!?" his friends asked.
"She's my sister!" he said.
"You look nothing like her!" one said.
"He's my half brother," you said.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"I'm moving in with my brother. My mom kicked me out of our apartment," you said.
"You're brother lives here?" he asked.
"Yeah," you said.
"Is he a racer?" he asked.
"Yep. Both of us are," you said.
"That explains why he's in the B section," he said.
"Huh?" you said.
"The racetrack pays for the racers to live here. So all of them live in the B building," he said as he pointed to the section where Dray's apartment is.
"So you're seriously siblings!?" his friends asked.
"Yes get that through your thick skull!" you snapped.
"What did you just say to me?" he asked. He had dark eyes and short brown hair. He was just a little taller than you.
"You heard me. I said, 'Get that through your thick skull!'" you said.
"Bad mistake insulting him!" said a black-haired kid.
"Try me," you said.
"Don't try anything with her, Koga!" Tyler said.
"And why not?" he asked.
"Because I'll kick your ass," you said.
"I'd like to see you try," he said.
"Bring it then, pussy," you said as you got into a fighting position.
He swung his fist at you as you ducked and you kicked his feet out from under him. He landed on the ground with a thud.
"The heavier the object, the harder it falls," you said as you stuck your foot on his throat, blocking his airway.
"I told you not to try anything, Koga," Tyler said coming up behind you.
"Sleezebag. He's like Tower ain't he?" you asked.
"Not as bad," Tyler said.
"Oh well," you said. You reached down and you socked him in the face before you walked back to your truck to finish unpacking.
As you were walking, you heard fast approaching footsteps. You quickly whirled around and sent your fist flying as hard as you could. Your knuckles came in contact with Koga's nose, and he went flying five feet backwards. You walked up to him and kicked him in the ribs.
"That's low! Attacking someone when they're walking away!" you said before you spat on him.
"Tailer, what the bloody hell was that about!?" Tyler asked as he and the rest of his friends ran up to you.
"It doesn't matter. Anyways, I'd better get back to the apartment or my brother's going to worry," you said as you grabbed your box and started walking away.
"Tailer, wait! He's my brother too, right? I want to see him!" Tyler said as he ran up to you.
"What about your friends?" you asked as you kept walking.
"I'll leave them. They'll get taken care of. And you won't be messed with by them anymore," he said.
"Okay. Grab a box and follow," you said as you stopped.
Tyler ran back and grabbed a box from the back of the pickup. He came running back with a box, and you led the way to the apartment. You walked into the apartment and set your box down.
"Dray!" you shouted.
"What, TaiTai!?" Dray shouted from the bedroom.
"Come here! I have someone you need to meet! Tay you too!" you shouted. Taylor walked into the room from the kitchen with her cell phone on her ear.
"Tailer, I'm on the phone! Can it wait!?" she asked.
"No!" you said.
"Will it take long?" Taylor asked.
"No. Ah Dray, now I want you all to meet Tyler Michaels," you said.
"Tyler Michaels!? That kid from our Calculus class!?" you heard Izzy scream faintly from the phone. Taylor put the phone on speaker so Izzy could talk too.
"Yes Iz. Tyler's our half brother, Dray," you said.
"Well well, it's been a long time since I saw you last, Little Brother!" Dray said as he walked up to Tyler and ruffled up his hair and hugged him lightly.
"You already knew him!?" you asked. Draco laughed.
"Yeah, sorry sis. He came looking for Dad a few years ago when I was still living with him. And I got to meet him then," he said.
"YOU HAVE A HALF BROTHER AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME!?" Izzy shouted.
"Sorry Iz! I found out on my first day of school," you said. Izzy was silent.
"Well, since you two already know each other. Taylor, this is my brother, and Tyler, this is my best friend Taylor. She's here visiting," you said. Tyler walked up to Taylor and lightly kissed the top of her hand. Her ears became a little red.
"Pleasure to meet you, Taylor," Tyler said. You heard Izzy growl silently on the phone.
"Nice to meet you too, Tyler," she said. Tyler dropped her hand and stared at you. You were slightly glaring at him. He smirked lightly.
"Since you're getting to know him, I'll be going," Izzy said sourly. Taylor snapped to reality.
"What, no," Taylor said.
"Just forget it, Taylor. Bye," he said. There was a click, and the call ended. Taylor stared at the phone.
"Did he just hang up on you?!" you asked.
She nodded slowly, not taking her eyes off the phone. You growled as you pulled out your own phone, and dialed Izzy's number. It rang for a while, but there was no answer. You got the answering machine. You walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
"You got Izzy. I can't come to my phone, so leave a message and I'll get back to you later!" Izzy's voice said. The machine beeped.
"Damn you Izzy Izumi!!! I can't believe you of all people were RUDE ENOUGH to hang up on her like that! That's just-just UGH!! It's horrible!" you shouted. You calmed down a little.
"You have no clue how broken her face looked when she stared at that phone!" you said quietly,"I could see her breaking in pieces because of you. I never thought I'd see the day when you made a girl want to cry.
Then you hung up the phone and walked back out to the living room.
"Did he answer?" Dray asked.
"No. But I left a nasty message," you said.
"We'd better go get the rest of your things," Taylor said as she walked out the door.
"I wonder what she's going through," Dray said.
"It's not a good thing. It's prolly the worst feeling in the world," you said as you followed Taylor.
'Well, they certainly have the same fathers. Tyler and Draco both do the kissing hand thing. Tyler's lucky that I don't attack him.' you thought as you caught up with Taylor at the truck. She was staring at something.
"What are you looking at?" you asked. She pointed.
"Look at your bike!" she said. You looked over and you saw your black and red Honda covered in silver spraypaint.
"WHO THE HELL DID THIS!?" you screamed as you ran up to your bike to look at the damage. You tried to wipe off the paint, with no luck.
"Damnit damnit damnit!" you muttered over and over.
"Tailer! What happened!? We heard you scream!" Dray said as he and Tyler ran up. You looked at them, your fury was visible behind the water in your eyes.
"My bike..." you said, "My most prized possession. And someone ruined it!"
You blinked the tears out of your eyes and you stood up, with your fists clenched.
"I'm going to find him, and kill him," you said calmly.
"You can't, Tailer! You don't even know who he is!" Dray said. Tyler gasped.
"It was Koga! I know it!" he said.
"Yep. And I'm going to find him. He's going to wish he'd never heard of Tailer Mathews!" you said.
"Tailer! You can't just go off and attack someone!" Taylor said.
"Yeah, you can just take it to the cops!" Dray said.
"Not when she beat the shit out of him!" Tyler said.
"Why the hell did you beat the shit outta him!?" Dray asked.
"He was being an ass and he challenged me," you said.
"Damnit, Tailer..." Taylor whispered.
"Well now what am I going to do!?" you asked.
"Try and wash it off. Then talk to him?" Dray said. You stared at him in disbelief.
"Do you honestly think that I am going to be able to civily talk to a person that destroyed something dear to me?" you asked him. He sighed.
"I guess not... Oh well. We'll put your bike in the garage and we'll finish bringing your things in. Then you'll call Dad, then you're going to come with me to the track and you're going to meet your new team," Dray said.
"Fine," you muttered before you grabbed your bike.
"Where's the garage?" you asked.
"Over there. And the combination's Dad's birthday," he said.
"Gotcha!" you said before you started for the garage to put your bike away.
**With The Others**
"Why did she beat that kid up?" Dray asked Tyler.
"He wouldn't grasp the fact that we're related, and Tailer told him to get it through his thick skull. Then he sorta flipped and challenged her," Tyler said.
"And she got him good, huh?" Taylor asked.
"Yep. He attacked her when she was walking away and she socked him in the face so hard he flew back five feet," Tyler said.
(Me: This is funny guys! I was reading this to Taylor to make sure I got her character right, which I did lol, and she pointed out how many "T" names I have! lol There's Tai, Tailer, Tyler, Taylor, and Tracy... Holy hell I think I have a "T" problem... Oh yeah and then there's Alex Tower, but they call him Tower... Yep... Big "T" problem... lol)
"Holy hell. She prolly broke his nose!" Dray said.
"Yeah, probably," Tyler said. It became silent among them.
"What's she done for revenge before?" Tyler asked. Taylor and Dray exchanged glances.
"Well, uh, she's actually chased someone around with a knife before..." Taylor said.
"And she's beaten people so bad that they were in the hospital for weeks at a time," Dray said.
"Oh, there was also Beau..." Taylor said.
"Oh yeah..." Dray said.
"What? What about Beau?" Tyler asked.
"Well, he picked a fight with Brock, Kyler and me back home. And he was in a coma for two weeks," Dray said.
"She's put a kid in a coma before!?" Tyler asked.
"Y'all talking about Beau again?" Tailer asked as she walked up.
"Erm, yeah," Dray said, rubbing the back of his neck.
**Tailer/Your POV**
You were walking back from putting your bike away.
"-coma for two weeks," Dray said.
"She's put a kid in a coma before!?" Tyler asked.
"Y'all talking about Beau again?" you asked as you walked up to them.
"Erm, yeah," Dray said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"He deserved it," you said simply.
"What did he do, Tailer?" Tyler asked.
"He beat up Brock for no reason, then he beat up Kyler, then he picked on Taylor," you said.
"Then he tried to slice your tires remember?" Taylor said.
"Oh yeah. That's when I got him," you said.
"Did you get in trouble for it?" Tyler asked. You smirked.
"Nope!" you said. He stared at you, dumbfounded.
"You got away with it!?" he asked.
"They didn't know it was me," you said.
"What?" he said.
"See, I took him in, and I said that I found him on the side of the road like that, and when he woke up, he knew I'd kill him if he said anything," you said.
"Wow you are a scary chick..." Tyler said. You smirked.
"Damn straight," you said. Tyler chuckled.
"C'mon, let's get the rest of the stuff," Dray said as he grabbed another box.
After a few more trips of bringing boxes, you got everything into Dray's office. You plopped onto the couch next to Taylor and Tyler.
"Well, I'm beat," you said.
"What do you mean you're beat? You didn't do anything the last two trips!" Taylor said. You grinned sheepishly before she smacked you upside the head.
"Ow..." you mumbled as you rubbed your head.
"Tailer you dropped your phone outside and you have a new voicemail," Draco said as he walked inside with your cell phone adn tossed it at you. You walked into the bathroom to check the voice message.
"Tailer... It's Izzy... I really hurt her that bad? Now I feel terrible. I mean I know how much better looking Tyler is than me, and it's just all the girls like him. And if Taylor starts to like him, everything will fall apart for me. I like her so much, but I don't want to lose her to your stupid half brother! I'm afraid to call her... I want to, but I can't stand to hear her voice right now if she's down. It'd kill me. Anyways, I'm going to go now... Bye," he said.
Your eyes softened as you saved the message. You walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.
"Tay, come here. I want you to hear this message," you said. She looked at you funny but she got up, nonetheless, and followed you into the bathroom.
"Why do I need to hear it?" she asked.
"Just shut up and listen," you said as you put the phone on speaker and replayed teh message.
When the message was finished you saved it and looked over at Taylor. She was looking at the floor not moving.
"Tay?" you asked quietly. She looked up at you with a smile plastered to her face as a few joyful tears slid down her cheeks.
"He really does care..." she said lightly. You smacked your forhead.
"Der!" you said as you slapped her upside the head. She laughed at you as she wiped the tears from her face.
"I suggest you call him and save him before he drowns in a pool of his own self-pity," you said.
She nodded as you both walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.
"What are you so smiley about?" Dray asked from the kitchen as he saw the two of you walk out into the living room. You smirked and nudged Taylor. She looked at the floor then back up at Dray with a tint of redness on her cheeks.
"Izzy really does care about me," she said quietly, with the smile still on her face.
"That's great. How do you know?" Dray asked.
"He left a message on my phone and I let her listen to it. It was so sweet!" you said.
"Is that all you can say? 'That's great?'" Taylor asked suddenly, her face reddening with anger this time. Everyone stared at her.
"Well it is great, Tay. I'm glad you finally found someone," Dray said, becoming defensive.
"Oh so now you're saying that I could never get a guy!?" she asked. Dray put his hands up to emphasize for her to calm down.
"No, no that's not what I meant at all!" he said.
"Then what did you-" she started before you clamped your hand over her mouth and pulled her into the office.
"Calm down, Kiba. Just call Izzy, okay. And get things settled," you said.
"Fine," she said stubbornly.
You sighed as you walked into the living room.
"What's with her?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing. Just leave her alone, k?" you said.
"Alright... Well, nice seeing you, Bro, but I'm going to get going," he said. Dray walked over to him and man-hugged him before Tyler hugged you and walked out the door.
You sat on the couch and just stared off into space.
"I'm gonna call Tai," you said suddenly as you grabbed your phone.
"You do that," Dray said from the kitchen where he was making something. You dialed Tai's number, and you heard someone pick up.
"Tai-" you said.
"Sorry, Tai's a little busy right now. I'll have him call you back. K, bye!" said a peppy voice. She hung up Tai's phone.
You stared at the phone.
"Not again..." you muttered as you threw your phone across the room and put your head in your hands.
