"Thanks for leaving me hanging!" I said laughing as I walked into the room where Tay and Tori were in an intimate kiss. They didn't stop. "Oh, come on you guys, spare me!" I yelled covering my eyes. I would never and could never believe it, my two best friends in the whole entire world, one who just happens to be my brother, are in a make out session, I'd never believe it! "Your gonna get it." Tay said breaking away from Tori, and running after me. "Ah!" I yelled and ran down the stairs in a frenzy. "You'll never catch me!" I yelled running out the front door. "Hey, wait up!"I heard Tori yell, probablely somewhere behind Taylor. I was running down the street now, I turned back to look at Tay, to see how close he was, he was close enough. "Rach, watch out!"I heard a blood-curdling scream come from Taylor's mouth. I stood there in shock, as a car was speeding at me, going about 50 miles per hour, I couldn't move, I was paralyzed. I closed my eyes, and waited for my death to come. I felt a load push me far down on the side. I opened my eyes, I wasn't dead. "Oh my God." I whispered under my breath not looking. "Are you ok?" Taylor said who was now on top of me from pushing me over, he rolled on his side. "Oh my god." I said again. He held me in a tight hug. I was just at a near death experience, and if Tay haden't pushed me out of the way I wouldn't be here. I started crying right there on the grass, as Tori came up beside us, not knowing what to do. I started crying on his shoulder, like I had so many times, but this time there was a pure reason to cry, and it all wasn't in my head. "I couldn't let you leave a second time." he said rocking me back and forth as we still sat on the sidewalk.
Tori
My heart was pouding as the car sped at Ray with an unmeasurable speed. I knew that any second I could lose her forever. Then Tay bolted out into the street. As if losing Ray wouldn't be enough, he'd make me lose my newfound love. The next thing I knew, the two were on the grass breathing hard. I ran up to them, not knwing what to say to them. They had come so close to losing one another again. What could I possiblely say? There weren't words to express the scene before me. As soon as the excitement had died down, we went back home. I knew Tay wouldn't be chasing Ray anytime soon. We sat down in the living room to watch TV. It was about 11:00 am by now, and my parents weren't picking me up until 3:00pm. Tay wouldn't stop apoligizing to Ray about the car thing. It kind of reminded me of when I blamed myself about the break-up of their family. "Tay, it wasn't your fault! Knock it off!," Ray said, fed up with all of his apolgizing. "I'm sorry. I just feel bad," he said, sulking. I felt bad for him. He felt so sorry for something that totally wasn't his fault. Ray got up, and walked out of the room. I couldn't even imagine what was up with her. "Tay, I know what it's like to blame yourself for something that you couldn't have prevented," I said to him. "I know. You're talking about our family. And you're right. I shouldn't blame myself. Like you shouldn't. Does the pain ever go away?," he asked, turning to me. I was shocked by what I saw. He really and truly thought it was his fault. Even more than we ever would imagine. "Yes it does. Because soon you'll realize it wasn't your fault," I said, and gave him a light kiss on the lips. I couldn't help but think that things were going to get worse before they got better.
The End
