AJ shifted in the bed, "You..love me? After all I did?"
Taylor shrugged and smiled a little, "Yeah..do you have any clue how long I've liked you??"
"Umm..no.."
"I remember in 7th grade how I thought you were like the cutest guy in school..but you always thought of me as a friend.."
"Not really..," He said fighting a yawn.
Taylor commented, "You're getting tired."
"A little."
"I better go anyways..I think JC's paged me like three times now."
"Why's he paging you?"
"Well for one, Nick called about you annd then, I wrote a quick note to tell him what happened and I'm sure it looks like chicken scratch. Annnd...its almost midnight.."
"It is?"
"Yep..so I'm gonna try to sneak out so you can get some rest.."
AJ nodded, "I understand. Thanks for coming Taylor."
"No problem. Let me know when you get released..," She said gettin gup.
"You're not coming tomorrow?"
"Can't. I have to work. And, Maria doesn't seem to like me very much."
He sighed but nodded, "Okay..I'll see you later then."
Taylor nodded, then bent down and kissed his forehead. "You get better. And no more crashing your car.."
"K..see ya."
"Bye AJ."
Taylor walked out the door, closing it gently behind her. AJ flipped off the light and closed his eyes. A dull pain shot through his shoulder, which meant the pain medication was wearing off, he sighed and closed his eyes again, trying to go to sleep.
Once outside in her car, Taylor pulled out her cell phone and dialed the apartment number. She pulled out of the parking lot and drove towards home. "Hello?," JC's familar voice asked.
"Hey JC."
"Taylor! What happened? Your note looks like the cat tried to write it."
"I was in a hurry. AJ was in a car accident."
"Is he okay?"
"Yep..I'm on my way home now. Anything exciting happen at the studio?"
"Not really. We've got half the album down."
"Cool..who's there?"
JC quieted his voice, "Her name's Tracey."
"Ohh..a giiirrl.," Taylor said smiling.
"Yeah..I met her the other day. You don't mind do you?"
"Not at all JC. As long as you two don't do anything bad..."
He laughed, "Taylor, you're awful."
She grinned to herself, "I know..I'll just sneak in and go straight to bed."
"K..I told her I had a female roommate and that we were just friends anyways.."
"Ohhh..well I'm gonna get off. I should be there in about ten minutes."
"Okay..bye."
"See you in a few."
Taylor hung up the phone. A few minutes later, she pulled intot he apartment's complex and parked out front. She got out, grabbed her purse and then walked into the building. She got out of the elevator and walked down the hall to the apartment. She unlocked the door and walked inside. "Taylor? That you?," JC's voice filtered from the kitchen.
"Yep.."
"Come here and meet Tracey."
Taylor walked in and came face to face with a girl, maybe 21 or so, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Taylor smiled at her, "Hi I'm Taylor. Its nice to meet you."
"Tracey Cummings..nice to meet you to.," Tracey said.
They stood around and talked for a few minutes. "Well..I'm going to head up to bed because I have to go to work in about 12 hours. It was nice meeting you Tracey. JC, I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight Taylor.," JC said.
Taylor walked to her room and shut the door. She changed into her pajama's and crawled into bed and fell asleep.
