The rest of chapter 16 “Ok, now how are we going to get out of here?” Taylor asked. “We’re going to take 2 cars, the guys and I will take the limo, your mom and the girls will take another limo, Ok?” Walker said. “Yep clear as a bell,” Zac said. “Ok lets go,” Isaac said. They headed towards the backdoor. When they opened it a defining shriek filled their ears. “Oh man,” Taylor muttered. “Ok lets go,” Walker said. They walked into the crowd and pushed there way through. But half way Liz got separated from the rest and was swallowed up by the crowd. She ferociously pushed her way through the crowd. But it was no use. The crowd was to much for her. Then out of nowhere someone grabbed her and pulled her out of the crowd. It was Ike. He smiled at her and they started towards the awaiting limos. But before they could reach the cars a huge mob of girls broke free from of the barricades. “Oh man, Run!” Isaac exclaimed. They ran as fast as they could and jumped into a taxi and took off. (Both limos had left thinking that they were in the other limo) “Oh man, that was freaky,” Ike said as the taxi sped down the highway towards the hotel. “Yah,” Liz said breathing heavily. “Are you ok?” he asked. “Yah, I’m fine,” she answered smiling. “Ok,” he said leaning his head back against the seat. After the taxi dropped them off at the hotel they made their way towards the elevator. Ike pressed the button for the elevator and the doors immediately opened and they stepped inside. He pressed the button for the 3rd floor. (Oh oh Jamie the 3rd floor! Haha! Sorry inside joke.) The elevator started up, but about half way up it came to an abrupt stop which made Liz fall forward. But Ike caut her. “Thanks,” she said. “No prob,” he said smiling. “I think we’re stuck between floors,” he said as the emergency lights went on. “That’s nice,” Liz said sarcastically. She sat cross legged on the floor of the elevator, and Isaac sat beside her. “Your not claustrophobic are you?” he asked. “No,” she said. “Ok good,” He sat there for a few minutes not sure what to do next. Liz laughed to herself. “What?” he asked. “You look like you’re a mile away,” she said. “Oh well...” he trailed off looking into her eyes, they were the clearest shade of blue he’d ever seen, even more then Tay’s. She shivered. “Cold?” he asked. “A little,” she answered. “Well I don’t have a jacket to offer you this time so,” he put his arms around her. “Better?” he asked. “Yah,” she answered. He looked into her eyes again, her into his. Then there lips meet in a passionate kiss. **This story is so predictable, isn’t it?** He ran his hands up and down her back. They stayed in that position until they felt a jolt and the elevator start up again. Which made Liz fall on top of Ike. Just then the door opened and they both got up quickly. Then they walked towards the hotel room hand in hand. “Where have you guys been?” Zac asked as they walked into the girls room. “Well we sorta got mobbed and had to jump into a taxi,” Isaac started. “Then the elevator broke down and we were stuck in there for like 30 minutes,” Liz finished. Taylor gave Ike a look that said, If you did anything I’ll kill you! Ike just brushed it aside and said, “It’s getting late, We’d better get some sleep,”. “Yah, we’ve got 2 interviews in the morning,” Taylor said. “Ok well see you guys tomorrow then,” Nikki said. “Later,” Zac said. Isaac gave Liz a kiss on the cheek and walked towards the door. Taylor gave him an evil look. “What was that all about?” Nikki asked after the guys had left. “Nothing,” Liz said before she walked into the living room and sat on the couch. “Oh yah right,” Nikki said sitting beside her. Just then the phone rang. Liz picked up the receiver, “Hello?” “Hay Liz, I need to talk to you, meet me in the lobby in 5 minutes,” a voice said over the phone. “Josh?” she asked. “Yah,” he said. “Ok be there in 5,” she said before hanging up. “I’ll be back,” she said before walking out the door. She took the stairs this time. ****************************************************************** “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!!!” Taylor exclaimed after they were in their room. “What are you talking about?” Isaac said walking towards the bedroom. “You know exactly what I’m talking about!” he said angrier then ever. “Even if I did, it wouldn’t be any of your business,” he said pushing past Taylor. “If you did anything to her,” he said from behind Isaac. He turned to face Taylor, getting clearly annoyed. “And what if something did happen between us,” he said. Taylor’s eyes narrowed. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m tired,” Isaac said walking into the bedroom. “No!” Taylor exclaimed grabbing Ikes arm. Isaac turned to face Taylor who was now clearly P O. “What is wrong with you,” Isaac said shaking loose from his grasp. “Well let’s see, My big brother stabbed me in the back, is that a good enough reason for you,” he exclaimed. “I did NOT stab you in the back,” Isaac said. “Her and I just happen to be right for eachother that’s all,” he said. “Bull shit! You’ll be sorry,” Taylor said before running out of the hotel room slamming the door behind him. *************************************** Chapter 17 Taylor stormed down the hallway towards the elevator. He pushed the button and stepped inside after the doors opened. After the doors opened on the lobby level he started towards the main entrance. But before he reached the doors he saw Elizabeth sitting on a bench talking to someone. He walked over and stood behind her. She turned around a slightly jumped. “Taylor you scared me,” she said laughing. “I need to talk to you,” he said. “Ok,” she said standing up. “I’ll talk to you later,” she said to the guy she was talking to before. “Ok, but remember tomorrow at 4:30pm, Ok?” he said. “How can I forget,” she said smiling. “What was that all about?” Taylor asked after they exited the hotel and started down the street. “Nothing,” she said. ************************************* “So what you’re trying to say is you want me to choose between the 2 of you,” Liz said sitting on a bench. “Basically,” he said sitting beside her. “Well it’s not that easy,” she told him. “What do you mean?” he asked. “I mean, I can’t just choose like that,” she answered. “Why not?” “Because, for one thing I’ve only known you guys for like 5 days,” she said. “Well we’re gonna be here for like 10 more days,” he said. “Yah, but you want me to make my decision now,” “No I can wate,” he told her. “But you just said-” “I know but....you’re right I’m kinda pushing you and I don’t want to do that, I respect you,” he said cutting her off. “I’m glad you realized that,” she said. “Yah, oh um would you maybe like to um like go to the movies tomorrow or something?” he asked. “Um well we have a meeting with Virgin tomorrow,” she told him. “I thought you already met with them today,” Tay said as they started back towards the hotel. “We did, but they wanted to meet with us again, Josh said they might be considering signing us,” she told him. “Wow, that’s great,” “Yah,” she said smiling. “When are you saposed to meet with them?” he asked again. “Around 4:30pm,” she said. “Well then how bout we go see a 7:00 show then?” he said. “Well.....all right,” she said. “Ok good, what do you want to see?” he asked. “How bout Titanic, I haven’t seen that yet,” she said. (I know Titanic came out on Dec. 19th, but in this story it came out on the 12th. It’s Mon. the 15th, right now, (In the story) “Ok, I’ll pick you up round 6:30, Ok?” “Sure,” she said as they walked inside the hotel, and towards the elevator. qwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwqwq “Well...” Nikki said as Liz walked into the hotel room. “Well what?” she said plopping on the couch. “Where were you?” Lily asked. “Which time?” Liz asked. “Just a few minutes ago,” Nikki answered. “Well first I meet Josh, and he told me that we have another meeting with Virgin tomorrow at 4:30pm,” Liz told them. “Do you think they want to sign us?” Nikki asked enthusiastically. “Maybe,” Liz answered. “All right!!” Lily exclaimed jumping up and down. “Calm down, they haven’t signed us yet,” Liz said. “Yah but they could,” Lily said. “Well don’t get your hopes up,” Liz said. “What happened after that?” Nikki asked. “Well...Taylor scared the crap out of me, if that’s what you mean,” Liz said. “Really,” Nikki said an interesting look on her face. “Yah, then we took a walk and he wanted me to choose between him and Isaac, then after I told him I didn’t know them well enough to choose he said he could wait but in the meantime he asked me if I wanted to see Titanic with him tomorrow around 7,” Liz said taking a deep breath. “And you said....” “Yes,” Liz finished for Nikki. “Well then,” Lily said smiling. “Shut up!” Liz exclaimed throwing a pillow at her. She threw one back at Liz. “Pillow fight!” Liz exclaimed picking up a pillow. They started hitting eachother with pillows. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn “YES! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!” Lily exclaimed walking out of the Virgin office. “I still can’t believe it!” Liz exclaimed. “This calls for a celebration,” Josh said coming up behind the girls. “I can’t,” Liz said. “Why not?” he asked. “She has a date,” Nikki said. “Oooh ok,” Josh said giving her a wink. “Shut up,” she said playfully punching him. If you haven’t already figured it out, the girls had just been signed with Virgin on a 6 album deal. They rode back to the hotel excitedly talking about the upcoming recording of their album in January. After they got to the hotel the girls said good-bye to Josh and headed towards their suite. Liz walked into the room and headed towards the bedroom. She started to dig in her duffel bag to find something to wear. She picked out a pair of flares and a purple tie dyed shirt that went just above her bellybutton with sleeves that flared at the end. With a pair of black platforms. And her hair pulled into a pollyanna. “I’m gone,” She yelled. “Ok have fun,” Nikki said before bursting into giggles. “Shut up!” Liz yelled. “I can’t help it,” Nikki said. “Ugh, it’s no big deal,” Liz said. “Yah, sure, whatever,” Nikki said before Liz opened the door and started down the hall. “Hey,” Tay called from behind her. “Oh hey,” she said turning around to face him. “Ready?” he asked. “Yah,” she said. “Ok, the theater is just a block away so we can walk, if that’s ok,” he said. “That’s fine,” she said. “Ok” he said as they walked towards the elevator They went down to the lobby and then headed towards the theater. *********************************************************
Chapter 18
When they got to the theater Taylor bought their tickets and they found their seats in the back because the theater was so crowded.
Just then the lights dimmed and the previews started up and then the movie. But Taylor was having a hard time concentrating on the screen, he was thinking about the girl sitting next to him, the one that he cared for more than anyone else. He got a little bold and slipped his arm around her shoulders. She didn’t seem to mind. He got a little braver and grabbed her other hand and held it tight. She looked at him but didn’t protest. they sat like that for a little while longer but Taylor couldn’t stand it any longer so he leaned over a kissed her softly on the cheek. She turned to face him but before any words could escape her mouth their lips meet in a passionate embrace.
Chills ran through Taylors body. He had never felt anything like this before in his life, he knew Love was a strong word but he felt it was the right emotion to feel towards her. Elizabeth on the other hand was very confused. After they broke apart she turned her face back to the movie screen but could not concentrate on what was on it. Whoa, what just happened? she asked herself. I know what happened I was just kissed again by Taylor Hanson, but just yesterday I was also kissed by his brother Isaac and I have no idea who I like if eather of them, but then again I’ve never felt anything more wonderful then when he kissed me just now, but neither have I when Ike did yesterday. Oh what have I gotten myself into! She was jerked away from her thoughts by a voice which she realized was Taylors. “Hay, you ok?” he asked.
She looked around and realized the movie was over and the theater was now mostly empty. “Oh, yeah sorry,” she said standing up.
“It’s ok,” he said curiosity in his voice but he didn’t ask any feather questions. They walked out of the theater and back towards the hotel, it was around 9:30 so it was dark. Elizabeth grabbed Taylor’s hand for reassurance, he didn’t seem to mind. They walked the rest of the way home in silence.
***************************************************
“What do you mean we have to leave tomorrow!?!” Liz exclaimed.
“I’m sorry girls but if you want this deal to go over well we have to leave for Knoxville tomorrow to start recording,” Josh told them.
“But that means we have to move to Tennessee!” Nikki exclaimed.
“Yes I know but we have to,” he told them.
“Our plane leaves at eight o’clock tomorrow morning,” he said and then left the three distrot girls sitting on their beds.
“Oh man!”
“Oh crap!”
“Oh well.”
Nikki and Lily looked at Liz, ”What was that? I thought you would be the most upset!” Nikki exclaimed.
“I am but well it kinda helps me out in a way,” she said.
“Whatever, I’m gonna go pack,” Nikki said turning and walking into her room.
“Me too,” Lily said doing the same.
“I guess I will too,” Liz said.
***************************************************************
Taylor woke up the next morning feeling pretty good, he looked around his brothers were still asleep, he looked at the clock it said 10:15 in bright red letters. Taylor got up and walked into the kitchen he looked in the refrigerator, nothing. He closed the door and as he was turning around something caut his eye. Laying on the table was a blue involve with the names Isaac, Taylor, and Zac printed on it. He opened it and read........
Hi guys, I’m sorry I’m having to do this but I know I couldn’t do it face to face. As you read this I or we are on a plane to Tennessee to start recording our first album I wish I could have said good-by but we just found out about it last night. Remember me always as I will always remember you.
Love, LizA single tear rolled down Taylors cheek. **********************************************
