new years mistake
Kelly pulled up her black mini skirt with red roses
imprinted on it, slipped on her red halter-top, and buckled her black platforms.
She was ready to party all night long. The festivities lasted until 3:00
in the morning. She tied her hair in a messy bun, with red diamonds all
over, and grabbed her
purse. She was ready.
Once she arrived everyone was already dancing. A
man was trying to sing Getting Jiggy With It, but obviously only knew the
chorus. She joined a long, dancing up by the pool. It was getting pretty
crowed, and afraid she would fall into the pool, she stepped down and waked
inside to the bar.
"Just a water please." She said sitting down at
the bar.
"A Diet Coke please." Taylor said sitting down at
the other end of the bar. He placed his head in his head sighing. Kelly
did the same.
"Hey, are you ok?" The waiter asked Taylor.
"Ya, I'm fine, just confused."
"Are you two related, you both kind of look alike."
The bar tender said staring at the two, "Hu?" They
both said staring at each other. "No way, am I related to that jerk." Kelly
said trying to get up and leave.
"Ya, she's a trader, and she used me for her sick
pleasures." Taylor smiled at his remark, and walked out of the bar.
"I'm sorry I asked." The bartender took his glass
and washed it out. "Are you ok?"
"Ya, just a little mad." Kelly got up and saw Taylor
sitting on the stairs. She stopped to watch him, one tear feel down his
cheek and fell onto his leather jacket. She was about to walk over to him,
when another girl came and said 'hello'. He ran away from her and out into
the party. She wondered
why he did that, so followed him. He kept dodging the girl and finally
stopped when he ran into Kelly again. "10, 9, 8, 7" The crowed cheered,
as the clock almost striked 12:00."6" Taylor was about to say something,
but she couldn't hear him. He walked closer, almost 3 feet away from each
other. "5, 4, 3" The girl came behind Tay and tapped him on the shoulder.
When he turned around there stood
the girl. "2" She kissed him, but he tried to get
away. "1!" They all
cheered. Kelly took one step back running into Ike. He saw what she saw,
and grabbed her shoulders. She ran off in the direction of the door. Taylor
finally got away from the other girl, and ran after Kelly. "Which way did
she go Ike?" Taylor asked.
"Um, she ran out that door." Ike pointed and then
walked off. Taylor didn't see her, and so decided to run strait. He ran
though the casino, bar, and shopping area, no sign of her. But he did find
Zac.
"Have you seen Kelly? I really need to talk to her.
I made a mistake." Taylor shook Zac's shoulders.
"You could say that again. You really hurt her you
know?" Zac told him the best place to find her, and told him something
to get for her.
"Thanks Zac!" He ran back into the direction of
the shopping area. "Um, excuse me, but could you open up the store for
one minute? I know what I want, I have money. Please, it's an emergency!"
Taylor said pounding on the door.
The man opened up long enough for Taylor to pay
for the gift. "Thanks a lot man."
"No problem, I know what your going through!" The
man said closing up shop again.
Taylor ran up to the deck. It was empty, but he
did hear voices.
"Ike, I really like him. I don't know what to do.
I'm lonely without him, why did he kiss her? He didn't even ask me out,
were not anything. Just two people hanging out, I don't want that, I want
to be a couple." Kelly said pacing back and forth.
"I know he wouldn't hurt you. I also know who that
girl was. Her name is Katie. We came with her on the cruise. She used to
date Tay. He thought he loved her, but found out she didn't love him. That
really tore him apart, he was depressed didn't eat, sleep, and didn't talk.
He wrote songs
about lost loves and broken hearts. He tries to avoid her, but she
keeps popping up everywhere. Until you came along, he was nothing. He really
cares about you. He doesn't stop talking about you."
"Really?" Kelly felt bad about being mean to him.
"Thanks Ike." She hugged him and sat down on the bench. Ike left Kelly
to think some more.
"Kelly?" Taylor slowly walked behind her.
"Oh Taylor, I'm so sorry." Kelly hugged him then
backed up.
"I need to ask you a question…
is that ok?"
"Uh hu." Kelly said sitting down. She scooted over
for Taylor to sit too. They could hear the distance music. It was a Selina
song.
"Will you be my girlfriend, I would really, really
like that." Taylor opened the box that held the gold necklace with the
starfish on it. Kelly gasped and kissed Taylor. He smiled, still kissing
her. He placed the necklace around her neck and placed his hands on her
cheeks. It was the best
moment for both of them.
"Will you dance with me Kelly?" Taylor held out
his hand.
"I would love to dance." Kelly wrapped her arms
around Taylor's neck and
he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Late at night when all the world, is sleeping. I stay
up and think of you." The music played and they danced until the song was
over.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Richard pushed Taylor off
of Kelly and took her by the neck.
"Let her go asshole!" Taylor yelled at him and punched
him in the face.
"You shouldn't have done that boy." Richard pulled
out a knife and held it up to Kelly's neck. "Now walk away and leave us
alone."
"No way jerk!" Taylor kicked Richie in the crotch,
and grabbed Kelly's hand. He pulled her and they both started running.
Richard was right behind them breathing down their necks, good thing
they had practiced last night running.
"Come on Kelly, up here." Taylor pointed to the
steps. They reached the top, dodging the crowds. They went through the
doors, and into one of the elevators. They reached the 4th level, and got
out. Looked both ways, and decided they would be safe in a crowded place.
"Taylor, you could have gotten hurt. I'm sorry to
get you into this." Kelly hugged Taylor, and started crying.
"It's ok Kelly. I won't let him touch you. I know
that he hurts you, Ike explained. You should have told me."
" I'm really sorry, it's just that I was afraid
you would get hurt, or be afraid of me." Kelly dug her head into his arms
and they stayed there for a while.
"I see Zac, he helped me find you. Let's go show
him the necklace. Ok?" Taylor pulled Kelly over to Zac who was staring
off into space. Kelly remembered what happened that morning, and was afraid
to talk to him.
