~Chapter Eight~

*Taylor* As soon as Candice got up to go to the rest room, the waitress cam to take our 'beverage' orders. Great. Just my luck, I thought, then said, "Um...I'll take a Dr. Pepper, and I think that she wants a cold lemonade...and no pulp please." I was surprised that I actually remembered the exact way she liked her lemonade. Just as the waitress left the table, I heard an all-too familiar voice, belonging to someone whom I did not care to talk to at that exact moment. Ugh, please make her go away! No such luck. She came running towards the table yelling "Taylor?! Is that you?" Duh. She already knows it's me, I thought. "Oh, hi Starr....How have you been?" I asked, my voice was a monotone. "Oh, I've been okay. How about you?" "Not too bad. Candice and I are fine now, since I cleared up that whole mis-understanding. We've been getting closer than ever now, but she's being acting kind-of strange tonight." I said, mentally kicking myself for telling her anything about the relationship. Although, I did want her to be jealous... "Oh. Really? Do you think it's something serious? What if she's dumping you?" She exclaimed, trying to sound concerned. I was quick to respond, "Oh, no, I'm sure it's nothing too serious." With that, Candice came around the corner, headed for the table. I saw Starr glance at her with an evil look in her eye, and she moved closer o me, until she was practically sitting on my lap! Starr didn't think I noticed Candice, but I did. I didn't say anything though. When Candice reached the table, she just stood right behind Starr with a look of pure anger in her eye. Starr turned around, and, batting her eyelashes, said, "Why, hello Candice." in the fakest voice I have ever heard come out of anyone's mouth in my entire fourteen years of existence. Then, I guess Candice was pretty pissed, because she hauled off and slapped Starr so hard across the face that it could probably be heard in China. I just sat there, dumb-founded, yet amused, and, remembering a hilarious line from "Scream", yelled "BAM! Bitch went down! BAM! Candie, SuperBitch! You're so cool," as Starr ran out of the restaraunt, stopping briefly at the door to yell, "You little bitch! I'll get you back!!" "Candice....I didn't do anytihng with her, I swear. She just came over and-" Candice interrupted me in mid sentence. "I know....I was watching you. See, I didn't really go to the bathroom. I saw her come in, and I remembered this email she sent me today, about how she was going to win you over, and I wanted to test you, to see if I could trust you, and I knew that once I got up, she would come over and flirt with you, so I got up and stood behind the wall thingy over there and watched you. I'm so happy that you didn't flirt back, and now I know that I can trust you, fully, and completely....well....hopefully...Anyways, let's eat!" -Next Day-(still Taylor) "Taylor get up!"Ike kept screaming in my face. "IIIIKKKKEEEEE,c'mon let me sleep"i said loudly. "Ok if you would rather sleep than spend out last day in T-town having fun you can do that i really don't care" "OK THEN!GO AWAY" "I can't beleive you Taylor"Zac said standing at the door as Ike walked out. "What do YOU want?" "What do you mean?All i want is to have some fun with my brother-sorry for interupting you-madam" "Madam?" "YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL-GOD YOU DON'T UNDERSATND ANYTHING!"Zac screamed. "GO AWAY"i said throwing a pillow at Zac. I grogily made my way to the bathroom and took a warm shower to wake me up.I got out and decided to call Candice. "Hey Candice?" "Yeah" "You wanna go to see a movie with me?" "Sure why don't you invite Ike and Starr to go with us and ask Zac too and maybe he can bring a friend or something" "No i don't think so" "Why not?Oh c'mon Tay i just wanna have a good day with all of you,pppllleeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeee for me?" "Ok ok ok hold on lemme ask 'em" "Yeah they said they'll come"i said disapointed. "Great!I'll come over there in about 15 minutes,k?" "Ok"

_____________________________________________________________________ *Candice* This is my last day with Tay i have to look really good.I slipped on a short black skirt and put on my hot pink halter top.I grabbed 10 dollars and ran out the door. "Hey"Taylor said when he opened the door. "Hey,are you all almost ready?" "Yeah we're ready" Starr came out before everyone and just glared at me she was in a extremely short black skirt with a purple tank top that came down to the bottow of her rib cage.'What a slut' i kept thinking.The minute Taylor walked out she started smiling and she kept putting her arm around him.He didn't even care that it hurt me.I walked off to the side while everyone else went on and on about how cool New York was gonna be-Starr kept talking about what it was like when she went.We got to the movies and i sat on the end beside Zac.None of them even cared that i was being left out.In the middle of the movie i just walked out.Taylor ran after me. "Candice what's wrong?"he said confused. "WHAT DO YOU THINK?!?!JUST THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BARELY TALKED TO ME THIS WHOLE TIME!YOU DIDN'T EVEN SIT BESIDE ME!" "I'm sorry"he said kissing me. "NO TAYLOR!"i said pushing him away. "Listen Candice i really and truly care about you you're like my Juliet and i WANT to be your Romeo and i'm trying so hard to make you happy,but this is all so new and i need you to let me know what you want from me and how you feel"he said with a tear streaming down his cheek. "Oh taylor"i said wrapping my arms around his neck. All i could do is think how stupid i was to almost blow this whole relationshop.This was the moment when i knew i loved him and i knew i needed him in my life. "Taylor......i-i-i love you i really and truly love you" There was a long silence.Taylor kissed me gently. "I love you too" And with that we walked home hand in hand.....
