Chapter 8
After the lunch and game of ping pong with Zac and Em, Tay and I decided to go to my house and spend some quality time together. I let him drive us, so we wouldn't die between Fiddlesticks and my house. That'd be a way to go! I held his hand during the whole day, proud that we were now together.
“I'm nervous,” he said.
“Why Taytay?”
“Because right now, I wanna kiss the crap out of you,” he said looking at me with eager eyes. I decided to give him what he wanted. I leaned into him as he pulled up in my driveway. We started kissing gentle and slow, but he wanted more. The kiss gained heat as he rubbed up and down my sides under my shirt deeply. His hands were warm and strong, they were perfect.
Taylor threw us through my front door and kicked it closed while still kissing me deeply. I walked backwards pulling him by his belt and threw ourselves back on the couch with him on top of me. We kept kissing, but more gentle as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“So, I see how it is now,” Josh's voice came from the kitchen doorway. Taylor got up and we sat awkwardly, looking at the angry face in front of us.
“Josh, I thought you were with Rebecca. So, I thought it was okay,” I said gently, so he wouldn't get too angry. He had a temper,
“Yeah well I thought you loved me, Hayley. I guess I was just another stepping stone, again. I came to say, I'm quitting the band,” he stood confidently.
“No! We need you!”
“Just like you need everything else? To make your life happy!”
“Hahaha, you must be talking about yourself,” Taylor said laughing. Josh walked over, balling his fists. I got worried then.
“Josh, stop it!” I said pushing him back. He pushed me out of the way and punched Taylor in the cheek. Taylor shook it off and slammed into Josh as they kept fighting. Taylor punched back, so hard I could hear Josh's teeth clink together. Josh then threw him off, gave me one apologetic look, then left. I got down beside Taylor as he groaned in pain. He was bleeding from his lip, forehead, and cheek. I didn't know whether to take him to the hospital or not. I was furious at Josh for being so stupid.
(Taylor's POV)
The physical pain of it all sucked, but the emotional tire was probably worse. I couldn't imagine how Hayley felt now. Josh was leaving us. I would miss him, but the old him was the one I'd truly miss. Man, life sucks sometimes. At least I still had Hayley. She kept all of us going, no matter what. But, I don't know if things with the others would stay the same. Maybe this was the end of Paramore.
