Don't Rain On My Parade

| Taylor's POV|

I sit here in the coffee shop, Mike across from me with his head still down. The words he has just spilled out of his mouth still ring in my mind. "I love you." But no. He can't. That's impossible. He can't. He just can't. I repeat this line a million times in my head. I sit there shocked. I'm speechless.

"Taylor, please say something." He looks up at me will guilty eyes.

I snap out of it. "No you don't. You...you can't." I shake my head trying to clear it somehow but my mind is racing a mile a minute.

Mike let's out a sigh, almost relieved that I spoke. "Im Sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." He rubs his forehead before bringing his coffee to his lips, trying to cool it a bit with his breath and sipping it slightly.

An awkward silence soon followed in a short amount of time that you could literally cut it with a knife. I take a bite of my pastry. Lemon. I hate lemon.

Mike chuckles a bit. I look up to see what it is. "How did you break that stick? It's a really nice brand I've only broken, like, three."

I laugh, glade we can move on from that horrible moment. "I just got lost in the sound." I shrug. "And maybe hit the rim a bit to hard." I look to my tired hand and see a few blisters forming.

Mike sees too, over the table. "God, those look bad. You should wrap them up." He grabs one of my hands and examines the blisters. I mentally kick myself because his touch sends a burst of butterflies in my stomach almost like a riot. He lets go of my hand and bites his pastry. "Eww. That's nasty." He scruncks up his nose and throws down the pastry grabing his coffee and takes a gulp without blowing it.

"FUCK THAT HOT!!!" He yells. I laugh as he frantically trys to find something to cool his mouth down. Just about everyone is staring at us. The workers roll their eyes as if it happens a lot.

Mike grabs the little pitcher of creamer and takes a few gulps. I shake my head and laugh. "What are you looking at?" Mike says feeling his tongue.

"Your crazy." I smile.

"How does it look?" He asks sticking his tongue out at me. I look it over a bit. "Red?"

"Not to bad." I shrug. "Try this." I grab my pastry and hold it up to his mouth. He takes a bite. "Good?" I ask placing it back down on the table.

"Im not sure. I kinda burnt all my tastebuds off!" He sasses.

"Well be more careful next time!"

The corners of his mouth start to turn up a little. " So there's going to be a next time?"

I roll my eyes, contemplating. "Well, if anyone of us accomplishes anything worth celebrating, the maybe. MAYBE!" I emphasise and point at him.

"Ill take maybe." He nods.

"Good cause that's all I'm giving!"

He smile ear to ear. "Ill get iced coffee next time."

"Good idea." I smile back.

A week has past. I've been to see Dr Stent and told him a bit more about myself. I'm not going to bring up the boys just yet. Mike has started sitting with us at lunch again. Tony always has an arm around me and a death glare locked on Mike. I haven't told anybody about coffee shop with Mike incident, and I hope he hasn't either. Ally and Vic have gotten closer but still not "offical" yet.

At the moment, we sit here under the lunch tree that we have claimed ours. I'm on Tony's lap, Ally leaning against Vic, Jaime and Mike are deep in conversation about bands.

"Hey," Vic calls out, grabbing everyone's attention. "Can you believe in a couple months we are going to graduate?"

"Shit I forgot about that!" Tony slaps his head. "Whats everyone planing on doing afterwards?"

"Im not going to collage." I shrug. "I don't know how I could possibly handle that."

"Me either." Ally seconds me. "And plus, my parents would rather spend that money on a new house." She rolls her eyes.

"Im going for sound production." Jaime says with pride.

"I don't want to go to school after this." Tony blurts. "Im going to be in a band. Tour the world."

"And I'll produce it!" Hime calls out.

"Well of course!" Tony nods.

"You're really going to be in a band?" I ask Tony. After school we wanted to hang out so here we are at my place.

"Yeah." He smiles. "Im not sure with who yet. But it's my dream." We are currently lying on my bed staring at the ceiling hand in hand.

I sit up and look at him. He sits up also. "I know who." I say.

He tilts his head like a confused animal. "Who?"

"The boys." He laughs. "Seriously ! Jaime plays bass, you on guitar, Vic on guitar and Mike on drums!"

"Then who will sing?" Tony points out.

"Im pretty sure Vic mentioned something about him singing." I shrug.

"Wait wait wait. Mike? I can barely stand him being in the same room as me. How are we going to be making music together?"

I think for a moment. "Well I don't know. It was just a thought." I lay back down.

"Well why can't you be our drummer?" He nudges me while laying back down next to me.

"Ha!" I laugh. " I could never play in a band. I suck at everything. But I'll be your tour manager or mercy girl." I wave it off.

"You don't suck at everything!" He leans over and kisses my temple.

I smile widely, not able to help it. "Tell me what I don't suck at."

"Kissing." Tony says without hesitation.

I raise an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Really." He leans in and presses his lips to mine while slowly moving his hand around my body. I pull away for a second. "Well you are too." He guides his hand to my chin.

Chuckling a bit, he says; "i love you." He kisses down my neck.

"I love you, too." I grin and blush rapidly. This. This feels right. Not like me and Mike. Every time Tony touches me and kisses me it brings a swarm of butterflies into my stomach. Not the same as the ones from Mike. Me and Tony just click. And it kills me to not know why I didn't feel this way before any of this happened. But I'm glad it did. "I love so much."
