"I thought you said you needed the phone at 12:00..not 2:45." Isaac said, a smirk on his face. Taylor snickered, and dialed my number.
"Hello?" I asked, picking up the phone. I held my finger to Shane's lips, telling him to keep quiet.
"Hey. How'd it go?" Tay asked. I cringed.
"Um...," I thought for a moment, "Oh. Pretty well. Mom took Mr. Dereksen out to dinner. They aren't home yet, so I'm guessing their having a good time." I laughed pathetically. My body started to shake, and I knew this was all going to blow in my face. Shane kissed my finger, then trailed toward my neck. Not wanting to ruin my own pleasure, I mindlessly hung up the phone and dropped it to the floor.
"Taylor?" Shane asked, pulling himself away from my lips. I groaned, just as the phone rang. I leaned over to get it, but Shane grabbed my hand. "Don't..let's go outside..to the park or my house..just away from this." he said. I smiled.
"Alright." I whispered through my clattering teeth. Why am I risking everything with Taylor for Shane? For the warm feeling of Shane's lips..for the way he makes me feel..what the hell am I doing? I asked myself as Shane and I walked through the woods behind my house. I'm living life the way I've always dreamed..I replied.

Taylor slumped against the wall near his bed. "She's been avoiding me." he told Isaac. Isaac shrugged.
"I don't know why Taylor..could it be she's spent every waking minute with you since she broke from the hospital?" he joked, "Maybe she got sick of you!" Taylor groaned.
"I don't know! Isaac call her!" he said, tossing the phone to Isaac. Caught off guard Isaac freaked, joggled the phone, then let it drop by his feet. Sighing, he looked at the laughing Taylor, and picked up the phone. He dialed my number.
"No answer." he said, three minutes later .
"Liar." Tay replied. Before Isaac could fight back, Zac ran into the room and dove on his bed harshly.
"My life is now over. Please..sing MMMBop at my funeral and make sure you get my lego pictures, lyrics, glowing drumsti..-"
"What are you talking about first, before we start making funeral arrangements." Isaac said, with a brightly amused smile on his face. Zac lifted his head and viewed the sad, pathetic look on Taylor's face before answering.
"She left." he said. Taylor's eyes and ears perked.
"Who?" Isaac asked.
"Oh my god." Tay whispered, his hands flying to his face. "I totally forgot to tell you..Zac I'm sorry." he said quickly. Zac got up and placed his hands where his hips lay.
"What do you mean you 'forgot to tell' me?" he asked. Isaac stood up and placed his hands on Zac's shoulders, stopping Zac from charging at his older brother.
"Alyson called...," Taylor said regretfully, "she left a message to tell you she hates you so much she moved to California..," he choked, "for good." Taylor finished and dove toward the door. Isaac held his position as Zac flung himself toward Taylor, but knew he wouldn't succeed by Ike.
"How could you? How! Your my own freakin' brother." Zac fell limp, and Isaac pushed him onto Taylor's bed.
"Please tell me what is going on here!" he said. Taylor gripped the doorknob, ready for closure incase Zac broke free from Isaac.
"Alyson saw Zac and Desiere..and she ran back to California to live with her dad." he stated. Isaac shook his head, and waved Taylor away. "I'm sorry Zac-"
"I hate you! Taylor how could you!" Zac screamed, as Taylor quickly shut the door and ran down the hall, making his way to his parents room for protection. They had a lock on their door that not even their father could open without a key. "How could he? How!" Zac asked Isaac, as tears streamed down his face.

I pulled away from Shane, and smiled. "Mmm." I whispered, entwining my hands in his. Shane kissed my lips again, and his hands trailed along my body, while still entwined with mine. I urned to know what he was thinking..and better yet what I was really praying to happen. I pulled our hands back up, and we frenched kissed. My body was tingling with excitement and pleasure. Shane pushed himself further on top of me, and my body rested softly against his green comforter. The smell of his sheets made me want to never leave his arms again. Kissing again, he pulled me over him, and our bodies rested closely together. My hair fell into his face, and he kissed the strains that were attached to his lips. My hands trailed down his chest to his shirt button and I started to pull each button out quickly. This was going to happen, and nothing was about to make me stop. My body was overwhelmed in pleasure I wasn't going to stop what I had waited to happen. His shirt was on the floor, and when we joined out lips again, the phone rang. Sitting up on his chest, I pulled my hair behind my head. His hands trailed down my sides and rested on the top button of four on my shorts.
"Answer it..please." He whispered, kissing my knee softly. I closed my eyes in pleasure, and reached over.
"Hello?" I asked in a dry voice. My throat had been dry from the last passionate kiss we shared.
"Hey.. Shane, wanna go sk-" Taylor's voice trailed off, and my body froze, "Amanda?" he asked. My face drained white and I didn't feel Shane's lips that were kissing up to my lips. His lips joined mine, and he pulled away softly.
"Hang up Mands, c'mon baby." he said teasingly. I shh'd him, and I held my fingers to his lips as I climbed off of him.
"Amanda..what are you..why are you..oh god." Taylor choked out, hanging up the phone. I dropped the phone onto Shane's bed, reached down and threw him his shirt.
"That was Taylor." I cried, tears falling softly out of my eyes. Shane got up and wrapped his arms around me, hugging me close to his chest. His body was warm and it comforted me. "I can't. Shane I can't. I love Taylor...and I can't." I choked through tears. Shane leaned over and kissed my lips, stopping me instantly.
"Amanda, stop." he said. I choked tears and then pulled away from him.
"I was going to have sex with you. A lover..an affairie. Not my boyfriend. I should be having sex with Taylor. Shane I can't do this. I killed him." I stated, kissing him quickly and running out of his room, then out of his house.
