Part 16

"Tay?"

Taylor looked up at Jade.

"Why are you sitting on the floor outside of the bathroom. When Eva's in there? Are you afraid she might get the last pad or something?" Jade wrinkled her nose.

Taylor smiled, "No I'm just making sure I know where Eva is at all possible times."

Jade nodded, "Oh okay...."

"Weirdo," She mumbled as she turned around and walked away. “HEY IKE! Your brother has problems." She shouted laughing.

Isaac looked at her. "You think I don't know that???" He asked curiously.

Jade smiled and shook her head. "No, not really. "

Isaac nodded his head. "Well, I do. I learned that so long ago."

She looked over at Zac. "Hey did you know..." She started off.

Zac didn't look up from his book. "That Taylor is an insecure, prick?" He asked. "Yes, I did." He answered before Jade could reply.

"I shoulda told Eva before." Jade said as she shook her head.

Then she saw Eva and Taylor pass by with Taylor behind her, Eva had the look of annoyance on her face. She had to laugh at it even though it wasn't funny.

Isaac shook his head and Zac stayed reading his book with a frown.

"I shoulda told Eva before." Jade shook her head.

Jade watched in amusement while Taylor followed her around all day in the studio. Following her every time she got a drink and went to the bathroom. She had laughed at first, but now it was starting to annoy her too.

"Taylor!" Jade shouted across the studio, "Come here!"

Taylor looked over at Eva then at Jade, and then at Eva again.

"NOW DAMNIT!" Jade breathed fire.

In less than two seconds Taylor was seeing what she wanted.

"What are you trying to prove by following Eva around?" She asked looking at Eva look at them, then glancing over at Jonny and saw him looking at Eva as him and Zac were talking.

Taylor shrugged. "I can't let her near Lang Boy." He stressed out. "I'm not going to lose her to him."

"Is this some game?" Jade questioned. "Who wins who?"

Taylor shook his head. "You know that is not true."

Jade watched what he was watching, "Then tell her. Don't follow her like a lost puppy." She demanded

Taylor looked over at Eva, the expressions on his face indicated he was thinking about what she had said.

Taylor looked over at Zac and then Jonny he noticed Jonny looking at Eva.

"Jonny." Zac said in a comforting tone.

Jonny looked at him.

"Man, don't do this to yourself..." Zac said referring to him looking at Eva.

Jonny sighed and nodded. "I just.... I can't I don't..." He stuttered.

Zac shook his head, "You might end up getting your ass kicked... now Ike and I are not going to be the ones to do it... but Jade and Tay on the other hand...."

Jonny nodded, "I'm aware of that."

"Okay just making sure... I'm looking out for both you and Eva." Zac smiled as he walked away.

Jonny looked back over at Eva for a second. He then noticed that Jade and Taylor were staring at him, while standing next to her.

He wasn't all too comfortable with the way they looked at him.

"So... umm... who would be the first to do it?" He questioned.

Zac shrugged his shoulders. "Possibly, Taylor. And then if Eva gets hurt, or if Jade gets mad, she'll do it too." He commented

Jonny nodded

-

Taylor walked out of the bathroom and heard laughter. He walked towards the laughter and stopped when he saw who it was and what they were talking about.

He listened as if it were instructions on how to save his life. He stood there, listening tentatively. 'Ten to one she's with Jonny by the end of the recording progress.' He heard someone murmur.

'Nah, she'll stick with 'Stick boy.' They're a good couple.'

'Aww, someone with sense.' Taylor thought smiling.

“Haven't you seen they way they look at each other? Poor girl you can tell she going outta her mind." He shook his head.

"Yeah, but I still think that her and stick boy are gonna last, I mean you've seen the way they act around each other, kinda reminds me of me and my wife." One said laughing.

Taylor smiled.

"How much you wanna bet?"

"Twenty on stick boy."

"Twenty on Jonny."

"Twenty on Jonny."

"Put me for Jonny too..." a strange voice said.

"Nah, I think it's gonna be Taylor." another voice called.

Taylor shook his head, 'They're making bets on our love life... don't they have anything better to do?' He said to himself.

Jade watched him as he came back out. A frown on his face. "Tay, did you figure out you weren't a lost puppy?" She asked. Then she smiled. "Or did you finally realize that you are actually a boy?" She questioned.

Taylor looked at her, then glanced at Jonny then Eva. "I put twenty on stick boy too." He murmured to himself before he walked away.

Jade shrugged her shoulders. "And they say I'm fucked."
