Chapter 11

That night Michele couldn’t sleep. She just kept reviewing the days events in her head over and over. ‘What caused Taylor to act the way he did’ ‘Would I be able to trust him again’ The only thing she really knew was that she really liked Taylor and possibly loved him. With this Michele cried herself to sleep.

Michele was awoken at 7 o’clock by the phone. She noticed everyone was still asleep so she went to pick it up. “Hello?” Michele said tiredly. “Hey Sweetie, is it alright if I call you that now?” said Taylor who sounded a little sad. “Oh hey Tay, yeah I guess its ok. What’s wrong you don’t sound to good.” “Well my parents just decided that it wouldn’t be a good idea to take you with us back to Tulsa.” “What? Why not?” “Well they said that they were scared something worse might happen between us and for everyone its better if you stay.” There was silence and Michele couldn’t fight the tears back anymore. Kristen heard Michele crying and woke up. “Michele? What’s wrong.” The only answer she got was Michele handing her the phone. “Hello?” Kristen said. “Kristen?” said Taylor. “Yeah.” “Hey, how’s Michele?” “Well she’s been better. Why? What happened?” “Well my parents said that we couldn’t take her to Tulsa with us because of what happened.” “Are you serious. god Taylor all you’ve done is make her cry the last couple of days.” “I know I’m sorry. Hey I’m going to come over there ok?” “All right but bring Isaac” “Ok I will”.

Taylor got there about 45 minutes later. “I answered the door. “Hey Taylor where’s Zac?” “Oh hey Sara I didn’t bring him with me this time. I came to see Michele. Where is she?” “Oh who drove you here?” “Isaac, he’s in the car, now where is she?” “Alright geez she’s in Kristen’s bedroom” “Where’s that?” “Oh here I’ll show you.” I showed him where it was and then left to go find something to do.Taylor saw Michele on the bed. “Sweetie?” Michele looked up, it looked like she had been crying. Michele got up and ran and hugged him. “Taybear” “I’m glad to see you’re happy to see me.” Taylor said smiling. “I can’t believe I can’t go to Tulsa with you guys.” Michele said sadly. “Yeah I know.” Taylor said.

Kristen ran out to go see Isaac when I told her he was here. “Hey Isaac what’s up?” “Hey Kristen, how’s Michele taking the news?” “Badly. All Taylor has done in the past couple of days is made her cry.” “Yeah I know they are going through a rough time in their relationship. The last thing they need is something else to pull them apart.” “Yeah I know I wish there was some way to change your parents minds.” “So do I. Hey wait do you want to come with me to talk to them? Maybe it will help have Michele come with us to Tulsa.” “Ok sure hold on, lemme tell my parents.” She went to tell our parents and I insisted that I go so I could see Zac. “Pam I’m going to go to Isaac’s hotel room and I’m taking Sara with me ok?” “Yeah ok. Are you still going to the mall?” “Probably, but I’m not sure” “Oh ok where’s Shell” “I think in my room.” “Oh ok Cya Kris.” “K bye”

Michele and Taylor had decided to go for a walk. “Pam I’m going for a walk. I have my pager. Ok?” “Ok Shell Cya.” “Ok bye Pam.”They just started walking and ended up at Thompson’s park. “Tay, I can’t believe that I won’t get to see you again for like 2 months.” “I know I can’t believe my parents aren’t going to let you go.” “Really? What are they afraid is going to happen were going to screw each other. ”I know. We had a fight, we aren’t stupid.” “Really? Are we just going to screw each other to make up or something?” “I know but we cant do anything about it.” “Your right hey lets call Isaac and go somewhere.”

Kristen, Isaac and I just got to the hotel. We all walked up to the room. “Hey mom and dad can Kris and I talk to you for a second.” “Ok, what about?” said Walker “Well actually about Michele going to Tulsa with us.” “Isaac that’s already settled I’m sorry but she can’t go.” Said Diana. “This is the thing Kris and Taylor aren’t going to go if Michele doesn’t go and I’m not going if Kris doesn’t go. We aren’t sure about Zac and Sara cause we haven’t talked to them.” Isaac said. “WOW..I guess you guys thought this through but we just afraid Taylor and Michele will get in another fight.” Said Walker. “Ok what if we promise to make sure they don’t, like I’ll watch Michele and Isaac will watch Taylor.?” Asked Kristen. “I dunno, but we’ll think about it.” said Diana. “I think that will work plus think about how Michele will feel having her best friend go to Tulsa, where they both wanted to go, and just leaving her at Kristen’s house considering her parents are out of town and she can’t go home. Oh yeah she also just had a huge fight with her boyfriend. And your making her go through all of that.” Isaac said. Walker and Diana were speechless. “Well we never thought about it this way. I guess we have to let her come.” Walker said. Isaac and Kristen cheered and hugged each other. Isaac then turned around “Uh dad…can I kiss her now?” “Yes smart alick you can kiss her” said Walker laughing. Isaac the leaned over and kissed Kristen. Kristen and Isaac kissed for about 5 minutes. “Ike….That’s long enough” Walker said. There was no response from Isaac. “Isaac ….. ISAAC” Walker said getting a little angry. “Oh yeah sorry dad.” Isaac said. “It’s okay now don’t you think you should go tell Michele and Taylor the good news?” Walker said. “Oh yeah I guess we should” Kristen said. “Alright where are they?” Isaac asked. “Umm I think at my house” Kristen answered. “Okay lets go” “alright”

When I got to the hotel Zac was still asleep. I walked in his room, he look like and angel while he was sleeping, and just stared at him. Zac finally woke up after about 15 minutes. “What?” Zac said confused. “You look so cute while your sleeping” I said. “Oh. I always look cute” He answered smiling. “ Oh yeah sure that’s it.” “I know” Zac then got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom, so he could change. He noticed me looking at him again weird. “What are you looking at this time” he said kind of angry. “Well……” “Well what?” “I wasn’t expecting a 12 year old to…..” “To what?” “Oh Nevermind it’s nothing.” “No tell me” “No Zac just go change.” “Tell me now.” Zac said running towards me. Zac ran and pushed me to the ground and started to tickle me. “No Zac… stop……alright alright, I’ll tell you just stop” Zac stopped “Okay tell me.” “Alright I wasn’t expecting you to have such a nice body.” I said trying to catch her breath. “Oh you like my body do ya” Zac said flexing his muscles for me. “Yeah I guess you can put it that way” I said laughing. “Well…” Zac was interrupted by Isaac and Kristen. “Hey Sars were going home come on.” Kristen said. “Hold up let me change I’ll go with you” Zac said. “Alright hurry up” Kristen said.

Michele and Taylor were still talking when Michele got a page. She looked at her pager. “Oh shit.” “What? What’s wrong?” Taylor asked concerned. “I took Kristen’s pager not mine.” “Really? You didn’t notice.” “No Kris must have taken mine so I just took the pager on the bed.” “Oh who paged Kris.” “her boyfriend” “Isaac?” Taylor asked. “oh I mean ex-boyfriend.” Michele said walking towards my house. “oh ok.” Taylor said following Michele.

Kristen, Isaac, Zac, and I all got to my house. “Where’s Michele?” Kristen asked Pam. “oh she went on a walk with Taylor.” She answered. “oh ok does she have her pager?” Kristen asked. “yeah.” “oh ok kewl.” They walked into Kristen’s room and paged Michele. A couple minutes later Kristen got a page. “what the hell?” Kristen said. “what?” Isaac asked confused. “This isn’t my pager its Michele’s.” “What?” “I must have taken Michele’s pager by mistake so she must have mine.” “alright page your pager then.” Kristen picked up the phone. “Damn what’s my number?” Kristen asked hanging up the phone. “It’s 9-8-3-2-9-6-2.” Michele said walking into the room. “Ok thanx.” Kristen said picking up the phone to dial. “What, hey Michele.’ “Hey Kris.” She replied.“We have some great news” Isaac said smiling. “Finally good news.” Taylor said. “yeah we talked to mom and dad and they decided Michele could come with us.” Isaac said. “Really?” Taylor asked holding Michele closer. “yeah.” Kristen said. “Oh my god I can go to Tulsa.” Michele said turning around to hug Taylor. “We’ll leave you two alone to talk” Kristen said and then walked out of the room with Isaac. “Michele can you believe it? You get to go to Tulsa with us.” Taylor said. “Yeah I know Taylor I heard.” Michele shut the door and started to kiss Taylor. Taylor didn’t respond. “What’s wrong Taybear?” “Oh nothing. I’m just thinking of something.” “Of what?” “Well you said Kristen’s boyfriend paged you. is she cheating on Isaac?” “Taylor you have to promise me that you will not say a word.” “Alright I promise.” “Well Kristen had a boyfriend when she met Isaac and she doesn’t know how to break up with him.” “So she is?” “No she isn’t cheating on Isaac she is cheating on the boyfriend, plus she hasn’t seen him in like forever and wants Isaac and she doesn’t know how to break with the other guy. She’s gonna break up with him today, I think” “Oh okay?” “yeah” “Michele?” “Yeah Taybear?” “Did you have a boyfriend when we met?” Michele didn’t know what to say so she just sat down on the bed. “Oh My God you did” “Well……yeah but we were on the verge of breaking up and we aren’t together now I swear.” Michele said. “You better not be” Taylor said walking over to Michele. Taylor sat down next to Michele and started kissing her. The phone then rang. Michele tried to get up but Taylor kept kissing her. She finally pushed him off.

“Hello?” she said. “Hey Michele” “Oh hey Jordan, Kris isn’t home so I’ll have her call you back okay?” “Alright…… where is she?” “Umm I dunno” “Okay Cya “ Michele then hung up the phone. “Who was that?” Taylor asked. “Oh no one.” Michele answered. “Oh okay?” “Yeah” Michele sat down next to Taylor and started to kiss him.

Zac and I were just sitting in my room talking. “So did you hear my parents decided to let Michele go to Tulsa after all” Zac said. “Really? cool” I replied “yeah everything is back to normal. The way it should be.” Zac said smiling. “Why the smile?” “I don’t know, happy I guess” “Why?” “Because you guys get to go with us to Tulsa” “Yeah same here”. Zac leaned over and kissed me. Kristen and Isaac walked in. “Hey no making out” Kristen said “Oh be quiet” I said “Hey are we still going to the mall” Kristen asked. “Umm I dunno we have to ask Michele, and see if she wants to go” I answered “Alright I’ll go see” Kristen said and walked to her room.

“Knock Knock” Kristen walking in. “Oh my god you scared me” Michele said jumping back from Taylor. “ I’m sorry. Man everytime I see you two you are making out, well except last night but other wise you two are always making out” Kristen joked. “Ha ha very funny…Um Kristen I have to talk to you.” Michele said standing up. “Oh Okay, what about” Michele walked over to Kristen and whispered…”Jordan called” “What the hell?! When?! Why?!” Kristen yelled scared. “Just like 5 or ten minutes ago.” “Oh no what did he want” “I dunno he just wanted to talk to you.” “Oh no… Man he hasn’t called me in like 2 weeks and he decides to call me now! Why?!” Kristen said getting mad. “I dunno call him up” Michele said sitting down on the bed “Michele should I do it today, I’m scared of what he will do.” “Well who would you rather be with, Isaac or him” “Well that’s really hard, what do you think?” “Well then do it” “how?” “Tell him the truth” “Oh yeah that’s gonna work… um Jordan I am calling you to break up with you, I have been cheating on you with Isaac Hanson. I like him more than you so we’re threw, bye…… that’s really gonna work Michele” Kristen said pacing the room. “Well I dunno it’s your problem.” “Well your the one that wanted me to get hooked up with him” “Well your the one that got with him” “Whatever, what about you and Matt, what are you gonna say?” Kristen said louder. “Shhh” Michele said trying to shut Kristen up. “No what are you gonna do?” “Umm is there something I need to know about here?” Taylor asked “No everything is fine” Michele said. “Who’s Matt?” Taylor asked “Nobody” Michele said “What? Nobody? You told me you loved him” Kristen said walking to her desk. “No! I don’t love him alright, I might have, but I don’t anymore, I love Taylor” Michele yelled “Wait wait Matt is your boyfriend? So you ARE still dating him” Taylor yelled back. “Ooopps another fight, I guess I should have kept my mouth shut” Kristen thought to herself. “Umm Taylor no , Michele did have a boyfriend but she doesn’t now” Kristen said “Umm okay I am confused. When you get this all straighten out please tell me, mean while I’ll be in the other room.” Taylor said then walked out of the room. “Kris I can’t believe you did that but thank you so much for bailing me out” Michele said. “No problem. I’m sorry I did that. I was mad” Kristen replied “Alright now call Jordan” Michele said picking up the phone and handing it to Kristen. “Alright I will” Kristen said and then dialed Jordan’s number.

“Uh hi Jordan it’s Kristen” “Kristen hi babe how are you?” Jordan said. “Umm I have been better” “Awww what’s wrong. You want to me to come over and cheer you up?” “No it’s okay…… um Jordan I have to tell you something” “ sure babe shoot” “Well um, I……… I………I……..I was just wondering what have you been up to” “Kristen do it” Michele said. “Wait that’s not it. I know we have been going out for a long time, but……”

Taylor walked into the living room where Isaac was. “Man they are so confusing” Taylor said sitting down on the couch. “Huh? What? Oh okay” Isaac said not taking his eyes of the video game he was playing. “Ike? What should I do? Michele has another boyfriend, well I think she does, and well I dunno what to do” Taylor said. “what?!? Another boyfriend?!?” Isaac said putting the controller down. “Yeah Kristen has one too………oopps” “WHAT?!” “Uh yeah , I wasn’t suppose to tell you so keep quiet alright. I think she is like on the phone with him now or something” Taylor said picking up the controller and started to play. “Oh My God. I have to hear this, why is she on the phone with him? I have to talk to her now.” Isaac got up and walked to the room. He stopped by the door to listen to the conversation with Jordan.

“Yeah 2 months” Jordan said. “Yeah um do you think it is working out?” “Yeah babe………I love you” “Yeah?, Well I loved you too but I think we should break up.” “WHAT!” Isaac yelled and slammed open the door. “Isaac?” Kristen yelled. “You have a boyfriend?!? I can’t believe you?” “No Isaac it’s not like that.” “What do you mean it’s not like that? You have a boyfriend and you just told him you loved him when I’m here. In your house.” Isaac said. “No I didn’t Isaac I said I LOVED him. I don’t anymore. I just didn’t have the nerve to break up with him today because he called me Isaac.” “Who the hell is Isaac?” Jordan asked. “My new boyfriend, Jordan we’re threw” Kristen said into the phone and hung it up. “See I only want you Isaac” Kristen said walking towards Isaac. Isaac only walked away from Kristen. “Isaac it’s true. She’s been dying inside over this. She was just nervous to break up with Jordan until now” Michele said. “Really?” “Yeah Isaac, I love you so much, I didn’t mean for you to find out and I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Kristen said taking a step closer to Isaac. “Well why didn’t you didn’t you tell me about this before I asked you out?” Isaac said sitting down on the bed. “Because I was gonna break up with him anyways. He never called me and we never talked, I never thought this would hurt you Isaac, I’m sorry.” Kristen said sitting down on the bed and hugged Isaac. “It’s alright, I forgive you as long as you swear that it is over.” “I swear Isaac, I love you.” “I love you too” Isaac said then kissed Kristen. Michele saw them and felt guilty and had to tell Taylor about Matt.

“Taylor can you come in here for a minute please” Michele asked. Taylor walked into Kristen’s room. “Kris can you leave us alone please?” Michele asked. “Alright.” Kristen said leaving the room. “Umm…. Taylor I need to tell you something important.” Michele started. “Okay go ahead” Taylor said sitting down on the bed. “Well umm u know how I said I broke up with Matt?” “Yeah” “Well that’s not exactly the truth“ .“ What?!?” Taylor yelled. “Well we’re still together, I was gonna break up with him last night but we had that huge fight and I didn’t want to call him.” “Oh my God you are cheating on me.” “No Taylor I’m not cheating on you I’m cheating on Matt, because I was with him first.” “But still you have another boyfriend” “If you want I’ll break up with him right now……… with that make you feel better?” “Umm yeah I guess.” “Alright I’ll do it.” Michele said picking up the phone and dialing Matt’s number.

“Hello?” Matt answered. “Hey Matt” Michele said. “Oh hey Michele” “Uh… Matt?” “Yeah Michele.” “Well…Umm…Lately we haven’t been talking or seeing each other so I think it is best if we don’t see each other anymore.” “What? Hold up. The only reason we haven’t talked is because I’ve been out of town and you’ve been too busy” “Matt I know. But if we can’t find time to at least. Then obviously we don’t care too much for each other.” “Michele I love you” “I loved you once too , but I’m sorry Matt not anymore. I’m sorry but I’m breaking up with you.” Michele then hung up the phone. Taylor then went over hugged Michele. Just then the phone rang again. “Hold up Tay I have to answer it.” Taylor let Michele go. So she could pick up the phone. “Hello” Michele asked. “ Kristen why the hell did you break up with me you little Bitch?” Jordan yelled into the phone. “first of Jordan it’s Michele and 2nd don’t even call Kris a Bitch. She didn’t like you so she broke up with you, c’mon get over it.” Then she hung up the phone.“Man, he is such a jerk.” Michele said walking away from the phone. Then it rang again. “Geez man I’ll get it.” Michele said picking up the phone.“Hello?” Michele answered. “Michele get me Kristen right now.” “NO!” “C’mon please.” “Whatever, Hold on.”

Michele walked into the living room to get Kristen. “Umm Kristen the jerk is on the phone.” Michele said. “Oh no. Jordan?” “Yup” “Man!” “Let me Talk to him.” Isaac said. “No Isaac don’t, I’ll handle it.” Isaac got up and walked to the phone.“Jordan, Please stop calling my Girlfriend! She doesn’t like you. That’s why she broke up with you.” Isaac said. “Hold up! Your Isaac?! You little bastard you stole Kris away from me!” Jordan yelled. “Apparently she didn’t like you, and you weren’t filling in you boyfriend job, so I took over, and I am way better at it!” Isaac yelled back. “Yeah okay? You are probably some small puny 14 year old and you took over my job. Yeah Right!” “Look here you bastard, 1st I am 17 and 2nd yes I did take over your job because you aren’t over here are you?” “Ooo 17!, I’m so scared, you are probably some puny 17 year old then!” Jordan yelled. “Alright I am tired of you. If you ever, I mean ever Talk about my girlfriend, or even call her again I will rip you into shreds!!” Isaac yelled into the phone and hung it up. “Wow Isaac” Kristen said walking over to Isaac. “I never seen you like that” She said grabbing his hand. “Well he’s a jerk and he was calling you names. No one calls my girlfriend names.” Isaac said bringing Kristen close to him. “Thanks Ike” Kristen said. Then Isaac leaned and started kissing Kristen.

Then the phone rang again. Isaac and Kristen were too busy so Michele picked up the phone. “Jordan I thought we told you NOT to call again. Give it up you lost her!” Michele yelled. “What? Who’s Jordan?” My mom Norma said confused. “Oh sorry Norma I thought you were someone else.” Michele said. laughing. “Oh okay can I talk to Kris?” “Yeah hold on” Michele turned around to get Kristen. “Kristen?

Kristen didn’t stop kissing Isaac. “Excuse me you two, but Kristen has a phone call.” Michele said pushing then apart. “Hey!” Kristen yelled. “Your mom is on the phone” Michele said handing Kristen the phone. “Oh sorry.” Kristen said and took the phone“Hello?” Kristen said. “Hey Kris.” “Hey mom.” “Who’s Jordan?” “Umm my ex- boyfriend.” “What? You had a boyfriend and you didn’t tell me?!” “Uh Yeah, sorry mom.” “Well tell me next time alright?” “Well okay, umm I have another one mom.” “Oh really? What’s his name?” “His name is Isaac mom. He’s right here too.” “Well let me talk to him.” “Umm alright here.” Kristen handed the phone to Isaac. “My mom wants to talk to you.” “but your mom is in the other room.” He said. “No she’s not she’s in San Diego” “Umm okay?” Isaac said confused and took the phone. “Hello this is Isaac.” “Hey Isaac this is Kristen’s mom Norma.” Norma said. “Umm aren’t you in the other room?” Isaac asked. “No I’m in my house in San Diego” “I could of sworn I saw you in the other room.” “Oh you must of be talking about Kris’s step mom.” “Ohh Yeah, alright I get it now.” Isaac said with a laugh. “You know what?” “What?” Isaac asked “You sound older to be 14.” “Well um I’m not 14.” Isaac said with a laugh. “Oh are you 15?” Norma asked. “No……I’m 17.” “Oh wow was I was way off. Can I ask you another question?” “Sure.” “Are you the Isaac Hanson that Kristen talks about all the time?” “Yeah I guess. She talks about me all the time?” Isaac said looking at Kristen. Kristen turned red and sat down on the bed. “Oh okay that’s what I thought.” “Well here is Kris.” Isaac said and then handed the phone to Kristen.

“Mom I don’t talk about him all the time” Kristen said. “Yes you do.” “Whatever.” “Well I got to go honey” “Wait I have to tell you something mom, guess what?” “What?” “You know how Sara and I always talk about how we want to go to Tulsa?” “Yeah” “Well we are!” “Wow cool your dad is taking you.” “No we’re going with Isaac’s family” “Wow and your dad is letting you go?” “Well Pam is coming too, so is Michele.” “Cool Have fun okay, right me at least once alright?” “Okay mom” “Well I better go love you” “Love you too mom.

Michele took the phone. “Hey dad, What’s up?” Michele said. “Not much.
