chapter 32.

*TAYLER POV*

"sir," the flight attendant said , waking me up from my nap.
"please pull your seat up , we're about to arrive to florida."
i nodded and texted jackson that i was about to arrive & to come pick me up.

we finally arrived to florida so i grabbed my bags & we got off the plane.
i assumed i wasn't going to stay in florida long so i decided not to bring a suitcase.
i waited in front of the airport till jackson came to pick me up.
shortly after , jackson pulls up ( lmao skrt skrt ) in his car & i got in.
"hey man wassup," i greeted , giving him a hug.
"hey tayler how ya been ?" jackson asks , driving out of the airport.
"worried man. you sure kayla is okay ?" i asked.
"yeah she's completely fine. she can take a shot to the leg , trust me. she's made of steel," he assured me.
i nodded.

a few minutes later , we arrived to the hospital.
"hey , ill wait here , you go ahead," jackson said.
i quickly rushed in , asking which room kayla was in.
"ah yes , ms. tran , room 165," the front desk lady said.
i ran to room 165 & knocked on the door softly.
"come in !" i heard kayla yell.
i took a deep breath & walked in.

*KAYLA POV*

i was scrolling through instagram , seeing all my "fans" praying for me to feel better until i heard a knock at the door.
"come in !" i yelled.
thinking it'd be a nurse , i looked up from my phone to see tayler.
"o-oh my god , tayler ?" i stuttered.
"hey," he smiled shyly.
"what are you doing here ?" i asked in shock.
"i heard what happened. i had to make sure you were okay," he said , now sitting at the edge of my bed.
i smiled.
"thank you tayler , but im completely fine," i said.
"well , i was also at your house. waiting for you to answer the door but you didn't so ..." he trailed off.
"why did you go to my house ?" i asked.
"i had to tell you something kinda important," he said , now serious.
"well what is it ?" i asked , sitting up.
"i uh actually found myself a new girl," he smiled.
"oh , that's it ?" i raised an eyebrow.
"no actually , i uh also proposed ..." he said looking down.
"w-what ? this early ?" i blurted out.
"i mean kayla im 19. some people get married earlier than that," he giggled.
"yeah & some people get married later than that & you didn't listen to them ?!" i shouted.
"kayla it was my choice. i really do love her & i thought you'd support me on this," he said.
"fine , congratulations. im happy for you," i said sarcastically , rolling my eyes & crossing my arms.
i laid back down & rolled to my side , facing my back towards tayler.
"fine , be that way. but if you're interested , here," tayler said , then walking out of the room.
i turn back to the other side & saw tayler put an envelope on the bedside table.
i picked it up & read the front.

i opened the envelope.

—————————————————————

wtf. tayler really invited me to his wedding ?
i threw it across the room.
bullshit.

*JACKSON POV*

i checked my watch.
damn tayler is taking a long time.
i look to the side & saw tayler walking out of the hospital.
he gets into the car & crouches in his seat , no words.
"so what happened ?" i asked.
"i told her what i wanted to tell her & she didn't seem so happy about it," he said , looking out the window.
"you told her about you & kristen ?" i asked.
he nodded.
"yikes," i replied.
"yeah , but let's just go to the hotel or something," he implied.
i nodded & drove off to the hotel.

*MIKEY POV*

it feels great being back with the boys again.
man , i was such a mess before.
i don't understand why.
different girl every night , every state , sometimes more than one girl a night.
i hate myself.
"hey mikey," jackson walks in , interrupting my thoughts.
"oh wassup," i replied , still having my back faced towards him.
i turned to jackson & see that tayler was also with him.
"uh , what are you doing here ?" i asked , pointing at tayler.
"oh tayler found out what happened to kayla so he immediately got on the first flight to orlando," jackson answered.
"i see," i replied , giving tayler a look.
he looked away & continued talking to jackson.
"man , im starving. let's go get some food," tayler said.
"alright , let's go to maggiano's. ill go tell the guys. mikey you want anything ?" jackson asked.
"nah , im not hungry," i replied , still giving tayler a stare.
"okay , well let's go," jackson said , walking out the door with tayler.
why does tayler care so much about kayla to the point where he would immediately fly over to a completely different state for her ?
couldn't he have just facetimed her ? checking to see if she's okay ?
she doesn't need your presence.
i bet she didn't even talk to him when he came.
i know she was happy when she saw me , because her and i had a connection in the past ....
& maybe we still do.
my phone started to ring so i answered it.

"hello ?"
"hey babyyyy."
"who's this ?"
"who else could it be babyyy , it's gabby."
"look gabby what we did was a one time thing. hence why i said we should have a one night stand."
"yeah but either way , the baby is yours."
"oh how would you know you're pregnant that quick ?"
"because i wasn't on the pill & you came inside of me."
"what the fuck gabby , you told me you were on the pill."
"haha i may have lied."
"oh my god no gabby. i thought i would never do this to anyone but i am not going to be with you or that child while it grows up. im leaving you."
"oh baby you're so funny."
"this isn't a joke gabby. goodbye."

oh my god. i got a girl pregnant.
