"Honey, please wake up." I heard Taylor wisper. I looked at the clock -2:38am. I squeezed his hand. "Are you awake?" He asked.
"Uh-huh"
"Good. Get up." What the hell could he want at 2:40 in the morning. But I got out of bed anyway and wrapped a blanket around me. "Follow me." He said as he took my hand. We went out on the balcony and sat there holding each other for about five minutes. Just as I was about to fall asleep when he wispered, "Amy?"
"Yeah?"
"You see those stars?" I nodded. "For as long as those stars shine I will love you." And with that he got up, pushed me off the balcony, turned and kissed Care.
"Amy, Amy, please wake up. You're dreaming." When I waoke up I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. I looked at the clock -2:38am. Taylor was holding me close to him. "I....you...her, Care" I stuttered between sobs.
"Shhh....it's okay." He said. I told him about my dream. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry. Don't worry that'll NEVER happen. I love you too much to let that happen. You have to believe me. I love you."
"I do believe you I'm just scared."
"I know. I understand that you have been hurt. But I won't do that, I'll always be here for you no matter what." And he kissed my forehead, my cheeks, my nose, then ever so very softly my lips. I felt so complete once our lips touched. I fell asleep quickly after that. Taylor and I slept closer than ever before.
We actually got to sleep in the next morning. I woke up wrapped tightly in Tay's arms.
"Good morning honey." He said once he realized I was awake. I felt so loved with his arms wrapped so tightly around me. I smiled to myself ands relaxed. He kissed my cheek.
"How long have you been up?" I asked.
"Well," he said as he leaned over me to look at the clock which said 11:17am, "About three hours. Along with everyone else."
"Why didn't you wake me up? Or at least get up yourself?" I asked turning towards him.
He kissed me then said, "You looked so peaceful and beautiful I didn't want to wake you up. And I wanted to be here when you did wake up so you knew I was here and always will be." I smiled and we snuggled for a little while. I don't remember EVER feeling so happy. I didn't want to lose that feeling.
The day was pretty hectic with the concert geing in like five hours. But we managed. While the guys did their sound check Care and Beth approached me backstage.
"Amy, are you ok? We heard you crying last night." Care said taking my hand.
"Which time?" I asked. "I cried with Tay around 9 or so and then again at around 2:30..."
"Well we all-well most of us knew about the first time. Taylor came out and told us that you guys were talking about something and didn't want to be disturbed. And you didn't want to be woken up the next morning either. Diana was really worried and asked if you were ok. He said no but that you'd be ok together." Beth said.
"When he came out he looked as if he'd been crying too." Care said.
"Yeah he was." I said "but we're ok."
"I think I heard you the second time too, what was wrong?" Care asked.
"I had a horrible nightmare about you."
"About ME?" She asked, confused. I told her abpout my dream and she looked a little shocked. "Amy I would NEVER do that to you. Our friendship means too much to me. Besides I have Zac and I think I might really be falling in love." She said smiling brightly at the end.
"Really?" Beth and I asked. Care began to blush, "Yeah." So we talked about our relationships for a while. Beth and Ike were going slower than the rest of us but they were still very happy and very attatched to one another. We were all happy for each other.
The concert was great. It seemed that no matter how many we saw they were all exciting and different. We were in Atlanta now. It felt good to be back in the US. We were about half way through the tour and I was dreading each day to come, they each brought me closer to going home.
"Could you believe how loud they were?" Tay said as he walked into the family room after the Atlanta concert.
"It surprises me everytime." I said kissing him lightly.
"Yeah us too." Zac said kissing Care.
"So what's up for tonight?" Beth asked once Isaac released her from his big bear hug.
"Actually I wanted to to go to go to the amusement park -just the six of us. There's plenty of time left. It's only 2:20 now." Tay said.
"Yeah sounds cool to me." Care said.
"What do you think mom? Can we go?" I asked. It had been force of habit to call Diana "mom" since about London.
"Well I guess it's okay with me." She said running her fingers through my hair. "Isaac you can take the van but I want you guys back by midnight."
We went back to the hotel so the guys could shower and us girls could change. I wore my short shorts, my girls hockey teeshirt and Jordan's Planet Hollywood Tokyo sweatshirt. He kept telling me, "It may be hot now but by midnight it will be pretty chilly." Care wore her shorts, Zac's grey teeshirt and Zac's Planet Hollywood Frankfort sweatshirt. Beth wore her shorts, "sugar" tee and she brought Ike's Planet Hollywood London sweatshirt.
"Well aren't you guys cute." Ike said as he came out of one of the bathrooms and kissed Beth.
"Are you ready to have some fun!!?!" Zac yelled as he flew through the door, picked Care up and spun her around.
"Always." Care laughed. And she kissed Zac long and hard as he let her down. He began to lay her down on the bed but Taylor walked in.
"Come on Zac I promise you'll have plenty of time for that later but right now we have to get going." Zac just blushed. It was always embarrassing for him when Tay said stuff like that, especially when Care was right there.
"Bye guys!" We all yelled into the other room. "Bye!!" They all yelled back and waved.
We had a blast. Care and Zac went on the Zipper, I don't know how many times. Taylor and I played games galore. He won me three huge stuffed animals. He also bought me an Atlanta teeshirt. Isaac and Beth rode every rollercoaster at least four times each. Around ten Tay and I found Isaac and told him we'd meet him back at the van at 11:30 and we left the park.
Taylor took me to the beach. It was walking distance from the park. (About 2 1/2 football fields) We walked in the surf holding each other's hand.
"Amy, you know I love you right?"
"Yeah." I said as I stopped and turned towards him. "Why?"
"No reason really, I just like making sure that you know." He smiled sweetly and kissed me.
"Can we sit down?" I asked leading him up the shore and sitting down. "Tayles honey, how did I get this lucky? How could all my dreams come true like this?"
"I don't know, God works in mysterious ways. We were meant to be together -we ARE meant to be together." And he sat down next to me. He took me softly by the back of my neck and kissed me. Softly at first then with more urgency. I finally laid back and pulled him to me. After a short while of making out things got a little out of hand. I had lost everything but my shorts and he was stripped to his pants. He licked my nipples till they were hard as rocks then I went for his neck and earlobes. We rolled over and I went down on him. Kissing his belly button as I quickly undid his pants. He was already hard and waiting for me. I sucked all life out of him and at the point of climax he grabbed my head and kissed me hard with his balls. I then slowly came back up on him, kissing him softly, on his belly, to his nipples, neck then his lips.
"Hey if foreplay is this good just imagine what our first time will be like." I said as he kissed my belly button.
"I don't think I'll be able to stand it." he said as his mouth found it's way into my pants. "Oh yes" I moaned, he knew just what I loved. "Oh shit." I said suddenly.
"What?" He asked coming back up to me.
"It's 11:20 we have ten miutes to get back to the van."
"Oh shit" he said as he buttoned his jeans and got his shirt on. He kissed me as I got dressed. We got back to the van at 11:33.
"Geez we were about to call the FBI" Beth joked.
"Let's go." Isaac said. "Nice love bites Amy Lee."
"Thanks." I said blushing. We got back to the hotel by midnight thanks to Ike's 80 mph driving. I fell asleep quickly and Taylor held me close. Zac and Care went out on the balcony to quench their desires. You know if I hadn't always preached to Care not to have sex I would've been worried but I did and she was smart. I trusted them.
We woke up at around 6 am. We needed to get up early if we were to get to Miami a day before the charity ball. I awoke to a fresh cup of cappucino like always. "Thanks hon." I said and he kissed me softly.
"Geez, I didn't think they were that noticable." Tay said as his fingers stroked my neck. "I don't have any do I?"
"Not any that you'll be able to see at concerts, interviews or photo shoots." I said with an evil grin.
"Where?"
"Lift up your shirt." Once he saw his chest he attacked me. Tickling me till I couldn't stand it then he kissed me all over.
"Come on guys." Zac said. "We have less than two hours to get ready to leave."
"Okay." I said as I crawled out of bed and into the shower.
~in the kitchen~
"Good morning honey." Mom said as Taylor came out of the bedroom.
"Morning mom." he said as she hugged him.
"Did you have fun?" Dad asked.
"More than you know." Zac said as he went into a fit of giggles.
"What's that supossed to mean?" Mom asked.
"Nothing." Taylor said giving Zac the evil eye. I then made the mistake of coming into the kitchen.
"Amy, what happened to your neck?" Mac asked as I hugged him.
"Nothing Mac."
"Walker, Jordan, Amy come with me-NOW." Mom said sternly. We followed mom and dad into their room knowing and dreading what was coming.
"I thought you were responsible kids, I thought we could trust you." Mom said to Taylor. "And Amy what would you do if you go pregnant?"
"Taylor how would you handle that?" Dad asked.
"Listen mom dad it won't happen," Taylor started.
"How do you know that? Accidents happen." Mom said.
"Okay listen I know it won't." I started I could see mom and dad getting ready to say something but I cut them off. "I am morally against sex. I've been hurt too many times by it and I won't let that happen again. I am waiting for the one I love and the one I KNOW will ALWAYS be there for me. Ok? So don't worry. Yeah we mess around, so do the others. But that's only natural. Don't worry if we do decide that we want to have sex we'll let you know. Ok?" I said. I think mom and dad were a little shocked by what I just said but I also think they were some what relieved.
"Ok," mom said. "I'm sorry I guess I just over-reacted a bit."
"No you didn't mom." Tay said, "It's only natural for you to worry. It's your job."
"Okay well go on now. We have less than an hour to get ready to leave." Dad said as he pushed us out of the door.
~In our room~
While Tay and I packed our bags we were attacked by the rest of the guys.
"What'd they all say?" They all asked.
"Nothin much Amy let 'em have it." Tay said as he kissed my cheek. I told them the story and we all cracked up.
"I can't believe it." Care laughed as she laid down on her bed, her head on Zac's chest.
"Yeah I know." I said almost out of breath. Eventually we got over it, ate some breakfast and got on the buses-dodging fans.
