Never Let This Go *Paramore*

Chapter Twenty: Getting Better

"Tell me it's all right,

Just for one night.

Show you how to feel like,

What it feels like.

To be hugged, to be kissed.

Yes I can be that part of you.

I'll try my best,"

Hayley's P.O.V.

I am finally home. Well, with Taylor at his house, really. I honestly missed his house as if it were my own home. I don't really have a home, though. I mean, I could go live with Chad again, but considering this thing Taylor and I have right now, that wouldn't be the best. I should talk to Chad, actually. Once Taylor and I walk in the door, I run and literally jump onto his couch hugging his blue pillow like I did the last time I rejected food. "Hayley, why do you like that pillow so much?" he asks me sitting down on the couch next to me.

"Blue is your favorite," I say with a small smile. He returns the smile and giggles a little and I sigh, getting up. "I know we have been avoiding this, but, you need to talk to Baylie and I need to talk to Chad," I tell him. He sighs and gets up too, and stands in front of me, as I stare into his never ending chocolatey eyes. He kisses my cheek and leaves to call Baylie. I pick up my phone and dial Chad's number.

"Hey, how are you?" he asks me kindly.

"Hey, Chad, I'm okay. Can you meet me at the coffee shop in an hour?" I ask him.

"Why, are you okay?" he asks with concern in his voice.

"I'm fine, but we need to talk about some stuff. A lot has happened," I explain.

"Alright then, I'll be there," he tells me with a sigh. "Bye,"

"Bye, see you there," I tell him hanging up. I don't want to talk about this, or what that freak woman said, but I know I can't avoid it when everyone I love is at risk now. I wait on the couch for Taylor to finish with Baylie. Five minutes later he came out, no emotion in his face what so ever. "Hey, you alright, T?" I ask. He doesn't say anything, he just sits on the couch.

"I'm an effing bitch," he tells me. "She hates my guts,"

"What? Taylor Benjamin York, look at me! Don't look down on yourself like that! You just so happen to be the sweetest, curliest, and buttoniest guy I know!" I tell him sitting next to him.

"I'm not so sure, Hayley. She completely hates me and wished I were dead," Taylor explains.

"You really liked her didn't you?" I ask quietly, sitting criss cross applesauce on facing him.

"Hayley, I only knew her for a couple of days," he tells me.

"It's okay to admit it Taylor, and can you stand up for a second?" I ask him. He looks confused but he stands up. I jump on his back and play with his hair. "Taylor?"

"Yeah?" he asks me holding my legs up for me.

"I really love your hair," I tell him.

"Hayley? Can you get off for just a second?" he asks. I jump off and he turns to face me. He presses his lips against mine and I get that amazingly happy feeling inside of me, allowing me to forget everything except for one word. Taylor. Once he pulls away, I look into his eyes again.

"Is that all I get?" I ask him quietly. He giggles and smiles.

"Yes," he responds.

"Nooooo! I want more Taylor!" I yell. I end up chasing him around his living room, until eventually he runs into the guest room and jumps onto the bed, his face in a pillow. I jump onto the bed right next to him the exact same way and eventually we both un-bury ourselves after a good two minutes of awkwardness. I giggle and kiss him, without him running away. The same feeling keeps repeating itself inside of me. "I'm suppose to meet Chad at the coffee shop in 35 minutes," I tell him.

"You still never told me what that woman said," he mentions.

"It's not exactly something your going to want to hear, T," I respond. "I'm terrified of how you'll react,"

"I'm not going anywhere, Spongebob, you know that right?" he tells me.

"That's what I'm so scared of," I say me eyes burning. His hands are cradling my head now, and his thumb wipes away the tear that tries to stain my cheek. "That woman threatened me, T. She threatened to destroy everyone I ever loved if I don't get back with Chad. I don't want to be with Chad, she's the reason he broke up with me but it's different now. She is using me to get to him..." He kisses me again and I get that same darn happy feeling.

He wraps his warm arms around me and I cry into his shoulder. I feel safe with him, I really do. I don't know why he likes a sad, broken girl like me, and I don't know why I like him so much when technically I'm with Chad...yeah...yeah I do. His chocolate eyes, his smile, the way he laughs, the way he holds me when I need someone to, how smart he is, the way he plays guitar, his cute nose, and his glasses are only a few reasons. "How come everything gets bad again right when it's starting to get better?" I ask him quietly into his shoulder. He lets go and looks me into the eye.

"Because you are no where close to being as happy as you will be when this is over, and it's all just a test," he tells me kissing my temple. Yeah. It's all just a test.
