~My P.O.V.~ 10 Minutes later
"Isaac, do you want to lean over your seat and tell Zac and Care that we're almost there?" Taylor asked as he pulled off the freeway.
"Um, no." Isaac said bluntly. Taylor gave him a "you'll do it now" look through the rearview mirror.
"Why not, Ike?" I asked.
"Well you never know what they're doing back there." He said laughing a little bit until we joined him, then we lost it.
"Hey!! What are you laughing at!!?" Zac asked as he popped his head up over the seat with Care not far behind.
"I knew if we laughed long and loud enough they'd sit up!" I said between giggles.
"Huh?" Care asked confused as we pulled into the closest parking spot at Rex's Chicken. "I'll explain later." I said as Taylor opened my door for me and I got out, still laughing a little.
The food was absolutely great. I could then see why Rex's was one of their favorite restaraunts. I think Care keeled over and died when I told her why we were all laughing, she was laughing so hard. I think Zac was a little upset. He really hates it when we embarrass him like that.
"Uh, oh. Looks like trouble at your five o'clock." Isaac said to Taylor. Tay then looked over his shoulder at a not too big but definitely angry guy. He then turned back to Ike and mouthed the words "Who's that?"
"Excuse me." The guy said ruffly to Taylor.
"Can I help you?" Taylor asked calmly.
"Do you see that little girl over there?" He asked pointing the way he came from to a younger girl--about 13--at a booth by herself, her face in her hands.
"Yeah, what's wrong with her?" Taylor asked as he got up. Taylor always likes to help when he can.
"You are." The guy said as he pushed Taylor back into his seat. Taylor looked at all of us, now greatly confused.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" Care asked.
"Not like it matters but my name is Mark, I'm her brother."
"Well, Mark--"
"Shut up!" Mark yelled cutting me off. "You're the biggest problem. I've been buying Melissa little Teeny bopper magazines for years because she loved you guys so much." He looked over at Tay. "Especially you. And then she heard that you were with this whore." Taylor was starting to get pissed but he kept his composure. "At first she didn't believe it. She always said, 'The media lies.' And then I made the mistake of bringing her here." We all just continued to look at him in shock. Where the hell was he going with this? "It just broke her heart to see you eith this blonde slut. Your hands all over her."
I couldn't stand this antmore and I'm a very out-spoken person. He was goong to hear what I had to say. "Then tell her not to look!!" I asid loudly and obviously annoyed at this pointless conversation.
"Hey Taylor before I hit her why don't you tell your little hoockie queen to shut the hell up?" Mark said. At that Taylor lost it. Well almost. He stood up, towering over Mark who was probably only 5'5", and pushed him into the counter behind him. Mark was shocked as hell.
"Now listen up you pathetic asshole! You will leave me, my family, and especially my girlfriend alone. I'm sorry that your little sister got so distressed over my love life. Please tell her that we still love her for her devotion to the band but we will go on with our personal lives." And he sat back down and placed his arm gently around me.
Before Mark went back to his and Melissa's table he added, "I hope you all know that all your fans will know about this."
"Well good." I said quietly.
"Well, if anything goes majorly wrong we'll clear everything up on the Rosie Show." Isaac said.
"Yeah, she's pretty cool. She wouldn't judge us by a rumor without talking to us first." Zac said. About a half an hour later while we were getting ready to go the younger girl, Melissa, approached our table.
"Taylor, Amy?" She said quietly. We both turned around to face her. "I'm really, REALLY sorry about what my brother did and said. He really had no right. Sure I was a little upset but come-on, I never had a chance with you. And from what I've heard," She turned and faced me. "You're a very cool person. At least that's what I've heard on Mtv, and in all kinds of magazines. And personally, you must be really cool if Taylor loves you enough to do and say that to my brother. But I'd like to thank you he deserved that. But, um...could I have your autographs, you and your brothers?"
"Of course." Taylor said.
"Yeah, anything for a fan that would have their brother beat up mine." Zac joked.
"Say, I just talked to Care, Beth and Ike and we were wondering if you'd like to come to our New Year's party." I said. I saw Zac and Tay nod their approval.
"I'd love to!" Melissa said excitedly. "But I'd have to ask my mom."
"Well give us a call when you know." Zac said he added our number to their autographs.
"Thanks." She said and she was off.
"Let's just hope her loser brother doesn't show up." Care said.
"He'll probably be her ride. Unless..." Beth said thinking.
"Unless I pick her up." Taylor finished. We continued on to the movie. Something with Will Smith in it.
