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

[lauren.]

Kaylee;
I glanced over at Reed as he began leaving the school,"You need to tell Ryan off once and for all even if it means involving the cops,"I said biting my lip. "Just be careful,"I said kissing her cheek before leaving.

Reed;
I left the building needing fresh air. Ryan made me want to kill him and I'm not one to usually have those thoughts. I headed towards my Jeep, running a hand through my hair.

Taylor,
I made my way over to Reed, "Hey," I said with a smile
as I approached him. I was always in a cheery mood when
I was around Reed. Even just seeing him caused me to
brighten up.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I gave Taylor a small smile,"Hey. Do you need a ride home?"I asked as I pulled my keys out. I was still pissed off but I can't do anything about it.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I flushed slightly, I don't even know why. "Oh, well
I'd love that," I smiled. I usually walked home because
I didn't live that far away, but this was an offer that I
didn't want to refuse.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I smiled and unlocked the door and opened it for her. I shut it after she was inside and started the Jeep. "So why haven't you told him off?"I asked as I pulled out of the parking lot. I couldn't get my mind off of it so why not talk about it with the source.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I rested my arm on the window sill as I sighed, "I don't
know. Mainly my nerves. I don't really want to be around
him when he's angry," I said. "I keep getting told I should,
I just don't have the guts to." I chewed on my lip and looked
out the window. This subject was very common for me, so I
needed to get over my fear eventually.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I sighed softly,"We all have to face our fears. & if we don't in a good amount of time, something bad will happen,"I said glancing over at her then back at road.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I looked over at Reed; he was right. I rubbed my arm,
pursing my lips. "I know," I said quietly. "It's just hard,
especially because he's so intimidating." He was pretty
much and adult, and I was still a minor, that's not a good
combination.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I pulled up to her house and parked the Jeep,"Well if you need someone there, I'll be more than happy. & if you ever need me, you have my number,"I said looking into her eyes. I didn't want anything to happen to her.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
"Thanks," I smiled as our eyes locked for a few seconds before
I broke the gaze, opening the car door. "Thank you for the ride,"
I said with another smile before I shut the door, heading to my
front door.

[lauren.]

Reed;
I sighed softly as I waited for her to be in her house. I pulled away and rested my head back. I was worried about her and something wasn't settling right in my stomach.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I slumped down into the seat as I looked over at Kaylee.
"Why do you drag me to these things?" I asked with a sigh.
I don't know why I agreed to them in the first place. Mainly
because I needed to make sure she didn't do anything stupid.

[lauren.]

Kaylee;
I giggled,"Oh come on! It's fun!"I said. Okay, I've had too much to drink but it was good. I poked Taylor's nose and handed her a beer,"Have fun!"I said winking at her as I saw some hot guy eyeing me. "I'll be with that,"I said grinning as I went over to him, running my hand down his arm.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor,
I narrowed my eyes at Kaylee's back as she left me.
I looked at the beer in my hand and sighed, placing it
on the table. She needed to be careful, especially here.
These parties were nothing but trouble, and I knew that
was the last thing I needed right now.

Ryan,
I had a beer in my hand and a cigarette in the other as
I eyed the room until my eyes fell on Taylor. I smirked and
set my beer down. I knew Kaylee had led her here, and at
this very moment I really appreciated her for bringing Taylor.
I made my way over to her, "Well look who decided to show
up," I grinned at her. "Go away Ryan," She said dryly to me.
I scoffed, "Now now, enjoy yourself. Have a drink, smoke a
cigarette," I said, sitting next to her.

[lauren.]

Kaylee;
I didn't notice what was happening with Taylor as I flirted with this guy. He was damn hot and I'm pretty sure I'd get laid tonight & I was excited.
