Playing for Keeps, Not Cheats.

"Don't say that please. It wasn't your fault Sam, we just need to be more
careful now," I said. "Taylor just wasn't used to it, I'd be scared too if I was
her." I sighed and sat down on the couch. "Taylor it's okay, you're okay," I cooed.

[lauren.]

I stayed quiet as I listened to Taylor cry. I have never seen her cry and I hate it knowing I caused it in.a way. I winced as pain shot through my shoulder.

[haileyjordan]

"Taylor please," I said as I rubbed her back, "It's okay." I looked over
at Sam, "Are you okay?" I asked him, he didn't look okay to me though.
I ran my hand through my hair. This was a mess.

[lauren.]

"I'm fine. Just take care of Taylor,"I said softly as I left the living room and went to our bedroom. I grabbed my pain medicine and took what I needed. I laid down on the bed, closing my eyes.

[haileyjordan]

Taylor's cries finally began to die down as I held her close, kidding
the top of her head. "You don't need to cry anymore. I'm here," I said quietly.
"I was so scared," she whispered. "I know you were Taylor. But it's over and
they're gone." I told her. "I'll put in a movie for you," I said as I set her
on the couch, putting a blanket on her as I put a movie in. "I'll be back
sweetie, I need to talk to your father." I went into the bedroom and sat down
next to him. "I know you didn't mean for that to happen," I told him, "please
don't beat yourself up for it."

[lauren.]

I breathed in,"I know. I've never seen Taylor cry and knowing my fame caused that makes me worry. I don't ever want to see her cry,"I said opening my eyes and staring at the ceiling.

[haileyjordan]

"But we told her stuff like this would happen. She needs to be prepared
and just ignore it. I know she's still young be she's a tough girl. It was
probably because it was the first time, it overwhelmed her," I said, looking
down at him. "You can't really do anything about it."

[lauren.]

I breathed in, knowing she was right. "Okay,"I said as I sat up,"They just flocked around her. Why the hell around they do that to a seven year old? Oh, and they know her name now,"I mumbled as I scratched the back of my neck, glancing at her.

[haileyjordan]

I sighed, "We just need to take this one step at a time I guess." I really
didn't want anyone knowing her name, but you couldn't really do anything
about it now. I never imagined something like this would happen to me.

[lauren.]

I sighed and looked at her, squeezing her hand,"Now we know,"I said rolling my shoulder slightly, trying to ease some of the pain.

[haileyjordan]

I nodded, "Yes we do," I said as I looked over at his shoulder.
"Do you want any ice?" I asked him. Why did people have to bother
him? Especially when he's injured. People had no respect anymore.

[lauren.]

I nodded,"Yeah, that would be nice,"I said giving her a small smile.

[haileyjordan]

"I'll be right back," I said as I kissed his forehead before leaving the room.
I took an ice pack out of the freezer and went back, handing it to him.
"I think you should just rest," I told him.

[lauren.]

I wrinkled my nose,"I've been doing that for the past two months,"I sighed as I laid back on the bed, placing the ice pack at the right spot.

[haileyjordan]

"But you've probably strained it today honey," I said. "This is the
time when you need it most. Just hang in there."
