Playing For Keeps, Not Cheats. (Taylor's story)

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I looked up at him, "I have made the worst mistakes anyone could make in their life. I'm a parents worst nightmare right now. I'm an alcoholic Reed. I'm only seventeen. I should we worrying about finals, not whether I was going to be hungover in the morning. I just know they're disappointed in me, and I hate that feeling. I hate letting people down when I've tried so hard to do what's best," I explained as I sighed.

Reed;
I kissed the top of her head as I wrapped my arm around her,"We all make mistakes Tay. Some worse than others, but sometimes we have to put the past in the past and face the future. Luckily you have two best friends helping you,"I said squeezing her arm gently. "Your parents miss you, yes they're disappointed but they'll always love you. You just need to pick yourself up,"I said.

Taylor,
"I think I'm dug under the dirt right now so I'll have a lot of picking up to do," I said with a small laugh. "But I have to correct my wrong before I make things right." I chewed on my lip as I looked at the lights and bustling crowds. "I really do think I have the best friends anyone could ask for. I just don't want to be with jerks anymore. I think I've learned the ultimate definition of hurt," I said.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I chewed on my lip,"You know, if you think about it, none of this was really your fault,"I said glancing down at her. It was all Ryan. From the raping, forcing her to take pills which got her to have an out of body experience and giving her alcohol.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I sighed, "I guess you're right. But I still take the blame for some of it. I know I wasn't drunk the whole time," I said. I ran my hand through my hair, "I just want to get out of here. I've had enough of Vegas for some time," I said with a smirk.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I chuckled softly,"Okay, we'll have to stay the night since it's late but we'll head out first thing in the morning,"I said as Kaylee came out of the store.

Kaylee;
I looked to see Taylor in Reed's arms and squealed,"Taylor!"I said as I ran at her, hugging her tightly.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I smiled and hugged her back just as tight. "I'm do sorry for being so stupid," I said. I released the hug and took her face, "I will never ever hurt you again. I will never be stupid and leave you. I will tell you everything that always happens and vow to sleepover with you and gossip all night," I said with a sparkle in my eye as I smiled.

[lauren.]

Kaylee;
I wiped at my eyes as I pushed her slightly,"You better or I'll have your ass next time,"I said as I locked my arm through hers as we began walking back to the hotel.

Reed;
I walked behind the girls so they could have their time. They needed it. I kept my eye out though just in case.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I let out a laugh, "No need to worry," I smiled as we walked. The whole way back to the hotel we talked, about useless junk, but we needed it. Once we got to the hotel I let out a sigh, "I need a good, non drunk sleep," I said with a smile. "I think I owe it to myself."

[lauren.]

Kaylee;
I giggled and nodded,"Of course you do,"I said smiling. I glanced between Reed and Taylor. "Though you might have a better sleep with Reed,"I said as I quickly kissed both of their cheeks. "Goodnight!"I sang as I quickly went into my room giggling. The two lovebirds.

Reed;
I blushed and coughed slightly as I rubbed the back of my neck,"Well alrighty then,"I said chuckling nervously as I unlocked the door and opened it for Taylor. I don't know why I was nervous. I mean we went on vacation together recently and sort of slept in the same bed, if you count the couch that.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I followed Reed inside the room, my cheeks flushed a slight pink. Kaylee always knew how to make things weird. "Do you have any extra clothes I can borrow? I didn't really come with any extras," I said with a small smile. I felt that same warmth that I felt when I was with him last time. It wasn't the feeling I got around Ryan, that's for sure.

[lauren.]

Reed;
"Yeah,"I said as I went to my suitcase and pulled out some sweats and a T-shirt. I smiled as I handed it to her.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I smiled, "Thank you," I said as I went into the bathroom and changed. His clothes were so baggy on me, I couldn't help but laugh. I came back out, in a much happier mood than before and wrapped my arms around him. "I love you so much Reed," I said.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I grinned as my clothes were practically falling off her. My arms snaked around her waist, pulling her against me,"And I love you Taylor,"I said as I pressed a soft kiss against her lips. She seemed happy and it's been along time since over seen her genuinely happy.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I smiled as I looked up at him, "I look ridiculous in these clothes," I giggled. I released my arms from around him and took his hand, leading him to the bedroom. "I think it's way past our bedtime," I smiled as I plopped onto the bed.
