Chapter 17


I ran all the way over the the Hanson's house! I knocked on the door.

"Haley, are you ok?" Taylor asked me seeing that I was out of breath.

"Am I ok? You bet I am ok. Boy do I have a story to tell you," I said as I walked in his house and we went upstairs to his room. I explained everything to him in detail. He was just as surprised as I was.

"So when are you leaving?"

"Well, thats what I came over here to talk to you about actually. See we have to leave tomorrow in the morning, and my mom told me to ask you if you and your family would like to come with us to New York?"

"Really? You want ME and MY family to come with you?"

"Well yeah."

"WHOA! Ok, let me ask my parents."

"Ok," I said as Taylor walked downstairs to find his parents. I could hear him telling them about the entire situation, before coming back up to his room.

"My parents said that they already have prior commentments and that Isaac has to take Zac, Jessica, Avery, and Mackie to Chuckie Cheeses, but they said that I could come!"

"Really? Thats GREAT Taylor! Ok, well I have to go home and start packing. I will call you later tonight and tell you what time we will be picking you up. Or better yet, could I use your phone and call my mom?"

"Sure, here," Taylor said handing me his black cordless phone.

"Thanks," I stated as I dialed my moms phone number.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom. Its me. Taylor's parents can't go and no one else can go in his family but him, so I was wondering if you knew what time we would pick him up in the morning tomorrow."

"Actually, we are going to be leaving pretty early. The plane leaves at 7:00, so if he could it would really be better if he could spend the night."

"Ok, let me ask him," I said as I turned to Taylor. "Taylor, my mom said that the plane leaves at 7:00 in the morning and that she thinks it would be best if you spent the night at our house tonight, if its ok with your parents of course."

"Ok, great, let me ask," Taylor said as he walked over toward his door. "Hey mom, dad, the plane leaves at 7:00 in the morning and Haley's mom said that it would be better if I spent the night with them tonight. Is that ok?" Taylor yelled down the stairs to his parents.

"Sure!" Both of his parents yelled back.

"Ok, mom. He can spend the night."

"Great. You stay over there and help him pack. Then when your down, you guys come over here, ok?"

"Ok mom, we won't be long."

"Ok Hay. See ya in a little while, Bye!"

"Bye mom," I said as I hung up the phone and handed it back to Taylor.

"Ok, now I have got to get packing," Taylor said rummaginf through his room trying to find something to wear.

"Um, Taylor dear, we're not going to be away that long. We're only going to be gone for one night."

"Well, you have to be ready."

"Ok, if you say so," I said as I stepped back out of his way and sat on his bed, watching him pack.

"Ok, I am done," Taylor said an hour later.

"Took ya long enough," I said as we walked out of his room and down the stairs to where his parents were sitting on the couch watching t.v.

"Bye mom, bye dad," Taylor said as he bent down and gave each of them a good bye hug and kiss.

"Bye Taylor. Be careful," his mom said.

"I will mom," Taylor said as we walked out of the door. We walked down the street as it was beginning to turn dark. We made our way over to my house, and up to the porch. I opened the door and we walked in.

"Mom, we're here!" I yelled through the house.

"Ok, I will be down in a minute," my mom stated. "You can set Taylor's luggage in the living room," my mother added, so we did. My mother finally made her way downstairs.

"Haley, why don't you go and pack while I get Taylor situated."

"Ok mom," I said as I went up to my room and packed all of the belongings that I would need. It didn't take me long. Within 20 minutes I had packed everything that I was going to need. I picked up my suitcase and carried it down the stairs and placed it over beside Taylor's in the living room.

"There mom, I am all packed and ready to go!" I said as I jumped up and down a little bit.

"Haley, we're having a little problem figuring out where Taylor is going to sleep tonight. I would put him in the guest room, but its not finished yet."

"Oh, well thats ok. He can have my bed and I can sleep on the trundle bed."

"I don't know Haley. You two in the same room. I don't think so."

"Oh come on mom. It's not like were going to do anything. I will even leave the door open. This way we can all have a bed, and no one will have to sleep on the couch or anything."

"Well,.......does that sound ok with you Taylor?"

"Yeah, thats fine," Taylor stated.

"Ok, but your gonna have to keep the door open."

"Thats fine," I said as I looked in my mothers eyes.

"Ok, well it's getting pretty late, so why don't we all go to bed so we can get up on time and not miss our flight in the morning."

"Ok, mom," I said as Taylor and I made our way up to my room.

"Don't forget to set your clock for 5:00," my mother yelled at us.

"Ok, thanks mom. Will do!"

Taylor and I made our way into my room. I went into my closet to change while Taylor changed in my room. When I was done I walked out of my closet and pulled out my trundel bed. It was kind of heavy so I got Taylor to help me. After Taylor pulled it out, I got my pillows off of my bed and placed them on my bed, soon after laying down. Taylor then managed his way into my bed, and layed down. We told each other our good nights, and then fell fast asleep. During the night I felt something and it woke me up. I rolled over and noticed that Taylor had rolled out of my bed and onto mine. I was half asleep when this happend so I didn't really notice it. I just layed my head on his chest and fell back asleep for the rest of the night we had left.
