"Look, I'm sorry if I scared you or whatever on the phone earlier. I just had to tell you how i felt about you." Taylor started.
"It didn't exactly scare me...it's just that I feel like you're just using me as a rebound from Tara." I told him.
"But I'm not. I've thought about this long and hard and no matter how I try to deny it, I can't help but have feelings for you."
"God Taylor. You don't understand how hard this is for me. I have so many mixed feelings right now....I just don't know how to deal with this." I said, "How can you just all of the sudden say you love me? Where did this come from?"
"I don't know. I just woke up one day and realized what I've been missing all my life. I've known you for so long but I never realized how incredibly amazing you are." He reached out and grabbed my hand and started to lean towards me.
This is the moment I've been waiting for all my life, I thought as we leaned in closer to each other. As soon as our lips met it was like fireworks, I know that's like the cheesiest thing to say but it's the truth.
Taylor's lips hit mine at exactly the right spot. As if we were meant to fit together. It wasn't a huge tongue in mouth kiss...just a sweet, wonderful, perfect, soft kiss.
When it was over I had to sit back and catch my breath. That was the most amazing moment in my entire life.
"Taylor...um...I have to go, before Zac comes looking for me." I said dizzily standing up. I was so overwhelmed by what had just happened that I could hardly stay standing.
I quickly found Zac and we retreated to the tree house once again.
"What did Taylor want?" He asked once we were sitting back on the sleeping bags again.
"Nothing. He just wanted to apologize for acting the way he did in my room earlier." I lied.
"Oh, ok. You ready to go to sleep?" he asked.
"Yea. Night."
"Night."
We layed down and before long I could hear Zac breathing heavy. I smiled to myself in the dark, before falling asleep with the taste of Taylor's lips still lingering on mine.
"What the hell did you write this for?" Julie asked shoving a piece of paper in my face.
"Nice to see you too." I said sarcastically, throwing my bag on my bed. It was the next morning and I had just gotten back from Zac's to find Julie waiting in my room for me.
"Don't be a smart-ass." She said. "Why did you do this?" She asked, shoving the paper in my face again.
I grabbed the note and read over it only to see that it was the note I had left for my parents the night before, "So what?"
"Are you trying to get me in trouble or what? Why did you tell them that we were sleeping with the Hanson's? Maybe you'd like to get yourself killed but I personally am way to young to die."
"Jules...I was just being sarcastic. I only did it to piss Dad off." Then I thought about what exactly Julie was saying, "Wait a minute. You're sleeping with Isaac?!?!?!" I screamed.
"Are you trying to tell the entire world? Yes, I am. I don't see what the big deal is...you're sleeping with Zac." she retorted.
"I am not!"
"You can't tell me you guys don't do anything all by yourselves up in that tree house."
"We don't, cause we're to young to do stuff like that. And so are you, I might add. Haven't you even thought about what will happen when Isaac goes back to college after his break? What are you gonna do then? Find somebody else to sleep with?" I asked
"You are so...ahhh!" She exclaimed before leaving my room.
I threw myself back against the bed. What is the deal with everyone recently? Why can't everything go back to the way it used to be? Before love, hate and sex ever came into the picture....before everyone grew up.
*Ring Ring*
"Hello?" I asked picking up the phone.
"Ali? It's Zac. I'm going up to Granite Rock. You want to come with me?"
"Sure. When are you going?" I asked.
"Right now. I'll come over there in a few minutes." Zac answered.
"Ok, see you then."
Ahh...Granite Rock, the highest rock in Tulsa...actually it's the highest rock in the whole county. What would posses Zac to climb it? Who knows...all I know is that I'm afraid of heights. What a fun day this will be.
