Chapter 5

The dancing started off very well. It was that song by Celine Dion. The one that went "You were my strength when I was weak, you were my voice when I couldn't speak, you were my eyes when I couldn't see, you saw the best there was in me, Lifted me up………." To break the silence between them, I told Taylor that I had learned that she ( Celene Dion) wrote this song about her sister who had died when she was young. I didn't tell him that a few weeks ago I was at this party and they had played this song, and I cried because I loved Taylor so much. Now he was actually here, dancing with me. Slow dancing. I realized that I loved him more than ever. My heart was going wild, probably skipping a beat every 30 seconds.

Tay danced very well. She complimented him. He said "My parents put me and Zac in Charm school when I was 9 and he was 6. Thats why I dance this way." His voice was very nice, singing and talking. Then Ike walked by Taylor and Linds while they were dancing. He was with that one girl. He was teasing Taylor about dancing with me. Zac was saying "OOOOOOOhhh, Taylor!!!" I could see taylors face, his eyes getting foggier and bluer. His face turning bright red.

"Taylor………." I was starting to say, when he ran off into the parking lot. Zac said "No, Tay wait! We were only joking!!" I could tell Taylor didn't think so. Zac appoligized to me. I told him it was OK. I ran out there too, feeling stupid. Then again, this was Taylor Hanson. The Taylor Hanson. I took the thought back, it sounded obbsessive. I saw him sitting in their car, crying. He had the music blasting so no one could hear him. It worked, I could barly hear anything. "Taylor?" I said. "Whats the matter? you know they were only joking."

"Yeah, but I can't help it. O a, very sensitive, they really embaress me. I'm sorry I ran out on you" he said with a tear streaming down his cheek.

"Taylor, you are becoming one of my very best friends, and I don't want to lose that in the very beginning. Let's just go in there and pretend you had a bug in your eye, and didn't want to make a fool of your self in there trying to get it out."

"Hehe. Okay" Taylor said sincerely with a smile. "Thats pretty good, I like that idea . Umm, Lindsay? Thanks for being such a great friend." I didn't know what to do, so I just leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Okay, lets have no more worries, lets just go in there and have a super time!" He said Ok I motioned for him to step in front of me. When he wasn't looking, I said under my breath and said "Yes!" and made one of those motions you do with your arms when your team has scored a point or somthing. I culdn't believe I had just kissed Taylor Hanson on the cheek.
