Chapter 7

The next day I decided to call Elizabeth and tell her I was okay. E"Hello?" Me"Hey!" E"Where in the hell are you? Everyone is worried sick!" Me "I will tell you but you cant tell anyone." E"Im not going to say a word." Me "Im in LA." E"You are with Jared arent you?" Me "yeah.." E "Taylor, you barely know him." Me " well I could have stayed home and continued to deal with my dad." E"well its your choice but I hope everything works out." Me "It will be fine. I love you, okay?" E"I love you too. Please be careful." We said our goodbyes and hung up. Jared had plans for us that night. J" lets go to dinner and go walk on the beach." I got ready and walked out to the living room where he was waiting for me. J "you look beautiful!" I blushed and said "thank you" We went to dinner and had a really good time. The waitior said "Hi Mr. Leto I see you have a new girlfriend." Me "Im not.." Jared cut me off and smiled at the waitor. J" Yes her name is Taylor." Me "hello." After the waitor walked away I leaned over to Jared and said "Why did you tell him I was your girlfriend?" J"Well arent you?" Me "Well you never asked me." J "Fine. Will you be my girlfriend?" We both laughed and I said "Of course." After dinner we went to te beach. He held my hand and started walking. It was perfect. There was a nice breeze and the sound of the waves made it so romantic. J"you know I realy do love you?" Me "I love you too." He kissed me and we just looked into each other's eyes. The moment was ruined when my phone went off. I answered and it was Elizabeth. Me "Hello?" E "You need to come back as soon as possible." I could tell it was urgent and that she was upset. Me "Why? Whats wrong?" E "Taylor... Your dad is dead." I dropped my phone and fell to my knees. I held my face in my hands and just cried. This was my fault I should have been there. Jared didnt know what was going on. J"Whats wrong?" I just sobbed loudly. J "Please tell me!" I finally caught my breath and said "its all my fault." J "what is your fault?" Me "hes dead" J "who?" Me "My dad. He died." Jared leaned down and held me tight. The next day we were on a flight to Georgia. I didnt know what to do.
