Life I Left Behind

I don’t have a banner yet because

a) I’m not sure if I’m keeping this fanfic,  yes/no?

b) the site I use is being a bitch.

So yeah, sorry about that. I hope you like this chapter, and well tell me if you think I should carry this fic on :)

Chapter 3

“Well now I know you, I will listen to more of your songs” I said. wiL shot me a beautiful smile and took a sip from his 6^th coffee (we’d been getting on very well). Id just been telling him about how I didn’t know his band very well, but I had heard a few songs which I liked.

“Awesome…you should totally come meet the band!” He said, draining his coffee and standing up, grabbing his phone off the table. I finished my own and also stood, picking up my bag.

“Err I dunno…”

“Why not?” wiL asked with a slight touch of sadness in his voice, I smiled lightly.

“Will they mind meeting a fan…well if you can call me a fan” I asked. wiL grinned and shook his head.

“Taylor Taylor Taylor…Aiden is made of two things. Music…and fans. Of course they will want to meet you! And yes I can call you a fan, even if you only like a few songs, that’s better then no songs at all” He said. I smiled and went up to the counter to pay, but wiL stopped me.

“What are you doing?” He asked me, touching my hand to stop from handing over money. We both looked at our hands, I don’t know about him but I defiantly felt something just then. He coughed and brought his hand away, looking into my eyes still.

“I’m paying for our coffee” I smiled; he smiled but shook his head again.

“Nu uh, I owe you coffee, I made you spill yours, I'm paying”

“But we had like 6 coffees; you can’t pay for them all!” I laughed; wiL pulled out his wallet and gave the confused worker the money. He put his wallet away again and turned tome.

“Looks like I can pay for them all” He smiled, walking over to the door and opening it for me. I just grinned and walked through. Once out on the side walk I turned to him, he hunched his shoulders up due to the wind, I felt my brown hair blowing about. I stood looking at him for a few seconds, he copied my actions, but I had to look away before he thought there was something wrong with me.

“Err so where to?” I mumbled, wiL grinned and held out his hand. I took it slowly, not wanting to seem too desperate.

“This way my dear” He said, walking forwards, I followed after him; well I had to because our hands were linked. As we were walking they swung lightly which made me smile.

“How old are you?” I asked suddenly, it was a question I was thinking for a while now.

“You know it’s rude to ask a lady her age” wiL said in the best girly voice he could muster. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised; he looked back and tried not to laugh. We looked at each other for a second, and then I lost. I burst out laughing, so hard that I had to keel over so my sides didn’t split. wiL's hand slid from mine but he was right behind me, making sure I didn’t fall onto floor. He had a hand on either side of my waist, but I was to busy laughing to notice much.

“Wow, I should never make you laugh again!” He said. I giggled some more, but then his hands started gently rubbing my sides, trying to make me calm down a little, I stopped. He noticed my sudden stillness and mistook it for me wanting him to stop. So when he took his hands away I accidently let out a little whine. wiL laughed a tiny laugh then helped me stand back up again. I looked up to his face to see him smiling.

“You’ve gone bright red” He commented. I touched the cheeks with the back of my hand.

“Wow, need any food cooked?” I asked, wiL laughed and took my hand from my face, keeping it locked in his.

“Sorry about that, I totally lost it. But you never did answer my question?” I said, wiL stared down at me.

“I’m 24…and if you don’t mind me asking, you?” He said. I sighed and looked away for a second. 7 years older then me. To be honest I've only just met him, I shouldn’t even like him.

“I’m…17” I mumbled. wiL stiffened slightly, and I thought he was going to let go of my hand and walk away. But he didn’t, he carried on walking, and after a few seconds he became calm again.

“Cool” He said simply. And that’s all we said for the rest of the walk.

*

When we reached a little parking a lot that I had honestly never seen before, he let go of my hand and looked down at me.

“Okay, we’re here. Just ignore the guys if they make any comments or whatever” He grinned. I smiled and nodded my head. wiL reached up and opened the door, then standing back so I could climb onto the huge tour bus. He jumped up after me and shut the door behind me. This little area was really quite small, in front of us was another door, behind us was the door we just came in, and to the sides were just walls, which was where I was pressed up against, we were so cramped that I could feel his sweet breath on my face.

“Ready?” He whispered, I nodded as I couldn’t speak, scared I would blurt something stupid out. He smiled and opened the next door, walking through it, he held out his hand behind him, which I took gently. He brought me forwards a little.

“Guys, this is Taylor” He said, and pulled me all the way through the door. I looked at my surroundings. A man with a pretty face was sitting on his laptop on a sofa. Another man with snakebites was sitting in front of the tv with a man with longish black hair. And the last man with shortish black hair was in the kitchen part with a mug in his hands.

The guy with snakebites looked up at us, smiling at me but then scowling at wiL.

“wiL, mate you need to stop doing this. Look sweetie, how much did he pay you, because ill pay you double just so you can get away from here” He said, my jaw dropped slightly and I blushed, trying to turn away so I could run. But wiL kept a firm hold on my hand.

“Nick! This is my friend, she isn’t a whore! I’m really sorry Taylor” wiL said turning to me. I smiled softly.

“Its okay” I lied. It wasn’t okay; Nick had said e need to stop doing this. Does that mean he brings whores to the bus a lot?

“Oh shit, sorry dude” Nick mumbled, looking embarrassed. I smiled at him, he was sweet.

“Don’t worry about it, its fine” I said, he smiled back and stood up, coming over and taking my free hand. He held it up to his mouth and kissed it.

“I’m Nick Wiggins; it’s a pleasure to meet you. On the laptop over there is Angel Ibarra,” He said, pointing to the man, he smiled and waved to me, “the dude I was sitting next to is Jake Davison, he’s a freak don’t go near him,” Nick laughed, I grinned as Jake blew a kiss at me,  “And that’s Jake Wambold” He said, pointing to the last man.

“Call me Bun, its much easier” He said, I smiled.

“Okay, well I’m Taylor Stewart; it’s very nice to meet you all!” I smiled. They all grinned back.

“So you are a fan?” Jake D asked from over on the floor, not looking away from his game again.

I shuffled uncomfortably; wiL laughed slightly and put an arm round my shoulders.

“Well…”

“Of course she is, she doesn’t know maaaaany songs, but I’m sure we can chance that huh guys” wiL said, his eyes sparkling.

“Fuck yeah!” Bun shouted, I giggled quietly. Angel stood up and walked over to wiL and me.

“So are you too…?” He trailed of suggestively, eyeing both of us. wiL suddenly dropped his arm and I scooted away from him.

“Oh, no no” I said, blushing again and looking down. I look up through my hair to see Angel give wiL ‘the eyes’.

“Nah but I can tell we’re gunna be awesome friends…look guys, Taylor had this weird idea earlier, I want you to hear it because…well it makes sense to me” wiL said, putting his arm back round my shoulder and leading me to one of the blue sofas. I sat down on the edge politely but wiL dragged me back so I leant on the back of the sofa…not failing to notice I was squashed close to wiL hehe. Shush Taylor.

I coughed slightly. “Well erm first your gunna have to open your mind a little. Last night, you know there were shooting stars, well I was on my roof, don’t ask why-“

Angel, Jake D and Bun were all leaning forwards. Nick hit the closest person, Jake D, and told them to shut the fuck up. I giggled and carried on.

“And I wished that I was the only girl on the world, and well I woke up and my mum wasn’t there. I came out and I couldn’t see a female in sight…and its really strange, and no one seems to either notice or care” I finished. The boys mostly had their eyebrows raised.

“Yeah…it’s stupid” I muttered, but Angel shook his head.

“No I see your point, and it does make sense. Wow I never thought this sorta stuff happened” He said, eyes travelling off making it seem he was thinking hard on something.

“No chicks!” Jake D gasped, Bun laughed and pretended to fall over and have a heart attack.

“You guys are jerks” Nick muttered softly. Aww, I think I could really like Nick. I looked up at wiL quickly. His elbow was rested on the arm of the sofa and his chin was in his hand. He was looking off into space and looking very cute. I mentally slapped my self, and just as I did, wiL looked over at me. I blushed and looked away to Angel, who was still thinking.

“This is kinda cool” He finally said, I laughed and nodded.

“Except I’m the only female on this world right now…what the hell am I gunna do for shopping, girl talks, crying, sleepovers!” I gasped, the sound of the pause menu of the game played softly in the background. Jake D grinned and crawled over, taking my hands in his own.

“Aww Taylor, its okay, Angel loves shopping so you have him!”  Angel grinned from his place on the floor,

 “Nick is the closest thing to a girl here, so you can talk with him” Nick laughed and winked at me, making me giggle,

“wiL is expert at crying, so cry with him,” wiL kicked him in the ribs and swore at him,

“And as for sleepovers, well look around! We might be guys but that doesn’t stop us having sleepovers!” He grinned. I laughed and nodded.

“Thanks Jake”

“Anytime sugar” He said, crawling back over to his game, where Nick and he continued playing. Angel went back over to his laptop and tapped away. Bun went back to the kitchen area and started making a pizza for himself. I grinned at how easy they could go back to their positions and how much they welcomed me.

I looked up at wiL; he was looking back at me. I smiled and he returned it warmly, squeezing my shoulders.

**

“That was the most fun I've had in ages” I confessed to wiL on the way back to my house. It was 8:30pm and Nick had suggested I went back home as not to scare my dad.

I gave them all a kiss on the cheek as I left but I also gave Nick a hug, he was amazingly sweet bless him.

“Really? That’s like everyday for us” wiL laughed, I grinned and looked at the sky. A few stars covered the pitch blackness.

“I was meaning to ask…why do you stay in your tour bus when you’re not on tour.” I asked.

“Well we love it so much…and we’re going back on tour tomorrow so we decided we might as well stay in there” wiL said softly.

“Oh”

We carried on walking, I felt selfish to say I didn’t want them to go. But it had honestly been the most fun id had in a while, and I know id only just met them, but I already missed them.

After our talk about my wishing, we played against each other on the X-box, wiL disappeared off into the bunks, not wanting to join in. I was confused to this but Nick just shook his head and told me to ignore him.

Then Jake was bored and asked id anyone wanted to give him a make over. I have no idea where that came from…but we were quick to get the makeup box out before he changed his mind.

After 45 minutes of fun, Jake looked fucking hilarious, with bright orange foundation covering his face, bright pink and blue eye shadow going up to his eyebrows. Pink blusher on his cheeks, and lastly…bright purple lipstick, going way past his lip lines.

Needless to say we took photos and uploaded them onto MySpace.

“We’re here” I said quietly. wiL turned to me at the end of the pathway, I looked up at him. He looked weary.

“Are you okay?” I asked, worried. He grinned suddenly and hugged me tightly. I stiffened, then hugged back.

“I’m awesome thanks. Are you okay?” He asked. I laughed at how he thought I was just randomly asking him how he was.

“Yeah I’m pretty good thanks…” I smiled.

“Good, well today was fun, sorry I didn’t join with some parts, I…anyways I’m sorry for spilling your coffee as well” He laughed. I raised an eyebrow, but then it lowered as I figured I shouldn’t push him.

“Haha its okay, you brought me 6 more…this is gunna sound stupid, but will I ever see you lot again…except on tv and stuff” I asked, wiL smiled and put his hands on my upper arms.

“Of course you will…I’ve been thinking of some things…and well…ahh don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough” He said mysteriously. I giggled and nodded.

“Okay then, thanks wiL, you’re a really good friend, even though I’ve only just met you” I said.

“Yeah you too…well goodnight Taylor” He said quietly.

“Goodnight wiL…” I said, turning round to walk up the path, but being stopped by wiL, he bent down, and for one stupid, silly moment I thought he was going to kiss me. But his lips were placed delicately on my cheeks. I felt it burn up as soon as they left it.

“Bye wiL” I said, breathlessly and floated up the path, turning around once the door was opened to see wiL’s back walking away, possibly for quite a long time.

Life I Left Behind

Oooo possibly new fanfic?  Gunna have a variety of bands in, but Aiden mostly. Tell me if its worth carrying on or not?

:)

I felt my hands ball up into fists at my side. I was fuming and was trying very hard to control my self in front of my two ‘best friends’.

“Whoa Taylor, why are you getting so bitchy about it?” Melanie asked.

“Bitchy! Me the bitchy one?!...you’ve got to be kidding Mel” I breathed. Jessica just stood to the side slightly, figuring out whether to get involved or not.

“Yeah, so what I’m dating Luke? I’m sure you’ll get over it” She said, looking at her freshly manicured nails. She had a tomorrow with Luke and had got them done especially.

I pulled my fist up to my mouth and bit into it, fighting back a huge scream, dying to rip out of me.

“You are meant to be my best friend Melanie! You know how much I liked Luke, how much it hurt to see him with other girls. Do you have any idea of how much this is hurting me, to see my best friend go off with him?” I asked. Melanie shrugged her delicate shoulders.

“Look Taylor, I can’t help it if he likes me and I like him. I suppose you just aren’t his type or something…sorry darling” She said. I stepped back and covered my eyes with my right hand, shaking my head.

“Okay…then I'm sorry Mel, I can’t be around you. Knowing that he will be with you, I can’t put up with the pain, it’s almost unbearable now. The trust is gone” I said quietly, glancing over my hand to see Melanie’s reaction. She shrugged again.

“Okay then, cya around, come on Jess” She said, beckoning to Jessica and turning around, walking off down the road. I looked over to Jessica; she looked at me with pain in her eyes.

“Sorry Taylor…” She whispered before running off after Mel. I shook my head again and turned the other way, walking slowly back to my house. It was about 9:30 and the sky covering Seattle was pitch black, scattered with stars. But I kept my head down, and my slow walk turned into a brisk walk and soon enough I was running, trying to run from what just happened. But every time I slowed down, the thoughts crept into my head, and I started running again. Eventually I reached my house and pulled my key out my pocket, unlocking the door and slamming it shut behind me.

“Honey is that you?” Dad asked, calling from the living room where he was most likely watching highlights of a match. Taking a deep breath, I put the biggest smile I could on my face.

“Yup it’s me dad, you okay?” I asked, walking into the living room and sitting down in the arm chair, bringing my legs up and wrapping my arms around them. Dad looked over from the sofa which he was sprawled on.

“Of course, the game was amazing, you shoulda watched it, but then again…I’m sure you had more fun out” He mumbled. He didn’t like the fact of his barely 17 year old daughter being out in the dark, but he couldn’t argue with Mum who loved me being completely out of her sight. You can probably already tell who my favourite parent is…

“Mmhm, well I’m gunna go up to my room, do you need anything?” I asked him, standing back up.

“Apart from $100000, no, thanks anyways, night darling” Dad said, I laughed and bent down to kiss his cheek. Straightening up, I quickly walked into the kitchen, grabbed a glass of orange juice then walked up stairs. It was very silent except for the mumbling coming from the TV downstairs, so it was no surprise that when Mum shouted, I dropped my glass.

“TAYLOR!” She screeched, walking into the hall way and seeing the orange juice staining the pale carpet. I gulped and looked up at her.

“Sorry mum, you just made me jump, ill clean it up now” I said, mums eyes widened slightly and she put her hands on her silk nightdress covered hips.

“Don’t you…dare, blame this on me” She fumed.

“N-no I weren’t bl-blaming y-ou” I stuttered.

“It sounded like it to me, now clean this shit up then go to your room, I don’t want to see you” She said, twisting on the spot and stalking back to her room. I rolled my eyes and put my finger up at her behind her back. I ran down the stairs, seeing dads head poke out of the living room door. He wrapped his arms around me, and I hugged back, breathing in his scent. I loved my daddy.

“Are you okay hun?” He asked. I nodded and he let me go. He smiled weakly at me and I carried on to the kitchen to get some stain remover, than went back up stairs to clean the mess.

**

I felt dead when I finally sat down on my bed that night. I had cleaned for 20 minutes to get the stain off, and then I smelt so bad of that stuff that I had to have a shower, my skin was bright red where I scrubbed so hard.

I looked over at the clock to see it was now 5 to 11. I took a deep breath and pulled on some shorts and a Fall Out Boy shirt then crossed the room to my window. I always thought myself lucky; I got the room with the window that was a tiny jump from the roof of the living room. Our house was weird, but good. I climbed through the window and with the grace of a ballet dancer (I hope so anyway as I had been dancing since I was 5) I leapt over to the roof. I reached with no difficulty and sat down cross legged, staring up into the sky.

I loved looking up into the stars. It made me feel like I was on my own plant, away from everyone who could hurt me.

Hurt me…I had completely forgotten about earlier troubles. I looked back down, into my clasped hands and closed my eyes, letting everything go and trying to relax. It was working, the coolness of the night’s air calmed me, but I was still a little worked up.

“Sometimes…sometimes I really wish I was the only girl on this world, it would save all the bitchiness and stealing-of-guys” I muttered to my self. I stayed like that for a while, then sleep washed over me, and I stumbled back to my room before I fell asleep on the roof.

Chapter 2

The smell of pancakes washed over me as I woke up the next morning. I yawned and stretched, before throwing back my cover and standing up. I quickly pulled on a black hoodie and rushed down stairs.

In the kitchen, dad was standing at the cooker, and mum was no where to be seen. Hmm odd, she was usually in her seat demanding breakfast.

“Mmm smells good. Morning dad” I said, reaching over his head to grab a glass and kissed him on the cheek.

“Morning darling, I was thinking the same I don’t think you will like them, ill have to eat them all myself” He said, putting pancakes onto two separate plates. I poured a glass of orange juice and sat down at the table.

“Haha you wish daddy…where’s mum?” I asked, he shrugged his shoulders as he turned the cooker off and put a plate in front of me.

“I don’t know, she wasn’t there when I woke up” He said and he shook sugar onto his pancakes.

“You say that like it’s a bad thing” I laughed, dad grinned at me and pretended to smack me over the head.

“Ahh you don’t mean that hunny, she’s still your mum even if she’s an annoying, demanding, obnoxious-“

“Bitch” I finished, taking a sip of orange juice. Dad smiled and we finished our breakfast with light talk like what we were up to today.

“Well I’m off to play golf with James, you?”

“I dunno yet, I might go into town and look around” I said, putting our plates into the sink. Dad nodded and passed me some money. I shook my head and smiled, giving it back.

“Dad, I don’t need this, I do have a job if you forgot” I laughed, dad grinned and gave it back.

“I didn’t forget, but I want you to have it okay, go get something nice” He said, kissing my forehead then headed up stairs. I followed after him but went into my room instead.

Hmm, I wonder where mum is, dad seriously didn’t seem too worried about it. Maybe he finally got rid of her but didn’t wanna tell me yet.

Don’t get your hopes up Taylor…

I pulled on some black tights, and then put a pink dress over my head, tying the bow round the middle. I slipped my feet into some black pumps, put on eyeliner and mascara, and sprayed myself head to toe in my perfume.

Running into the bathroom, I brushed my teeth, then ran back into my room, grabbed my phone and wallet off the table and put it into my messenger bag. Scanning the room quickly to see if I had missed anything, I rushed over to my bedside table and grabbed my car keys, grinning.

“I’m off dad!” I called up the stairs, I heard him shout ‘okay’ back, and walked out the door. I jumped into my car, putting the keys into the ignition and starting it up.

I pulled out the driveway and drove into town, from the speakers, Misfits played. I grinned and turned it up, next to no cars were on the road so I put my foot down and I was in town in no time.

After I locked the car up, I walked into Starbucks and ordered a Vanilla Latte. As I waited for it I observed the people sitting down. Hmm, strange, they all appeared to be male. Perhaps I was the only female who still drank coffee these days. Ahh well.

I looked at a man who was reading the newspaper. I looked at a headline on the front cover.

“Shooting Star Crazy”

I could just about make out the sub-headline

Last night, April 16^th 2006, the sky was filled with shooting stars, is it something serious or just natural?

I laughed at it, of course its something natural- wait.

Shooting stars…no females. No…NO!

“Excuse me?” Someone said, I snapped outta my thoughts to take my drink.

“Thanks” I muttered and exited Starbucks, walking down the street. I had never been superstitious…but maybe… no I was being stupid. Wishes don’t come true, if they had a would have had a pony when I was 6. And I didn’t.

I shook my head and walked into HMV music store, there weren’t many people inside…actually, there was only 3. Me being one of those, and the guy behind the counter being another. The other was a man with black hair, gazing into the Rock section; he was quite cute in a messy way. I walked over, glancing over at the man behind the counter, he looked at me.

“Can I have this in here?” I asked him. He shrugged.

“Yeah just try not to spill it” He said going back to his work. I nodded and looked back round; the man standing at the rock section looked at me for a second, before dropping his eyes back to the CD in his hands and blushing slightly. I smirked and walked over to where he was standing, he could see me coming. I stood next to him and pretended to be looking for a CD there. I slowly inched closer, seeing what CD he had in his hands. Hmm The Clash. I then quickly looked at the rack, searching for the same CD. I found it and deliberately bent over in front of him to grab it. I heard him gulp and I giggled slightly. I straightened back up slightly, knocking into him, I turned around.

“Oh crap, sorry” I said sweetly. He looked into my eyes and lost it for a second, I smiled and he shook his head a little.

“Oh, oh its fine don’t worry” He grinned. I smiled again and looked at the CD in his hands.

“You like The Clash?” I said, pretending to be surprised that he had it. He nodded.

“Very, very much, you too huh?” He said, gesturing to the CD in my hands. I grinned.

“Yeah, they are pretty awesome” I giggled; he smiled at it and put his CD down. He held out his hand.

“I’m Will, Will Francis…spelt with a little W and I, and a capital L…don’t ask why” He grinned. I laughed and took his hand, shaking it. It was very warm and soft.

“Okay them, I’m Taylor Stewart. Err, spelt T-a-y-l-o-r, I’m boring the only capital letter is the first one” I smirked. wiL laughed and squeezed my hand slightly, I smiled as he let go. He accidently hit my other hand that was holding my coffee. It spilt every where. I looked up at the guy behind the counter; he was staring at us and saw what happened.

“Shit, run” wiL said, taking my hand and running out the shop.

“Oi!” The man shouted, but couldn’t run after us as he was the only guy there. We ran all the way down the street till we reached a little park on the corner, wiL pulled me into it and we saw down on the grass, laughing our heads off.

“Oh. My. God.” I managed to get out as I couldn’t stop laughing.

“I’m so sorry about that, perhaps I can get you another one sometime?” wiL asked, laughing slightly still. I stopped laughing and smiled.

“That would be very nice…you look really familiar” I suddenly noticed, staring into his eyes. He grinned.

“Good way or bad way?” He said, growling at me. I laughed and shook my head. There weren’t many people in the park, but all of them were men, my suspicions from earlier came back. Where the fuck had all the woman gone?

“wiL, is it me or is there no girls about today?” I asked, lying down on my stomach on the grass, propping my head up on my hands. wiL leant on his side, staring at me.

“Its not you, I noticed that too, I usually have girls screaming after me, and I have seen none today” He said, I snorted.

“You’re a bit vain arent you?” I laughed; he grinned and shook his head.

“Have you ever heard of a band called Aiden?” He asked, I scanned my memories…oh shit.

“Whoa…you’re the lead singer aren’t you” I said.

“Sure am, and seeing as Aiden come from Seattle, there’s usually girls all over us, its kinda annoying actually, but oh well. You’re the only girl i've seen today, and you can scream for me any day” He winked. I started laughing again…that actually appealed to me more then I was willing to admit.

“Okay, this is probably gunna sound so stupid, but last night I argued with a best friend of mine, and I wished that I was the only girl on the planet…and I come out today and I haven’t seen any females. And there were shooting stars last night…” I trailed off, seeing wiL's sceptical face.

“Yeah I said it was stupid…” I mumbled.

“No no, I see what you’re saying, I’ve never really been superstitious, but that does seem weird…” He said, I nodded.

“Same, but no one seems to have noticed, or cared” I said, wiL shrugged.

“I’m sure we are being silly…now, about the coffee?” He asked, standing up and reaching out his hand. I smiled when he said ‘we are being silly’, and took his hand. He let go of it when we walked off, but kept close to my side.
