Taylor's POV

Day five of having my new found feelings for Hayley and it's going...okay I guess

She caught me staring at her a few times but I quickly told her I was daydreaming and walked away, she usually believed it

I couldn't help myself, on stage I would stare at her, and when she leaned on me during The Only Exception : butterflies

I held my pillow close every night inhaling that fading vanilla scent that she left almost a week ago

Still no idea where the hell this came from but I was getting used to the idea of Hayley

Thinking about finding her curled up against my chest every morning and kissing her whenever I want, that's how I spent my days now

Right now it's midnight and everyone else is asleep. I'm hugging Hayley's pillow wishing it was her

I heard small footsteps then I heard a toilet flush, I peaked out and saw Hayley leaning against the wall by her bunk clutching her stomach

"Hayles you ok?" I whispered, she looked up and I could see all the sickness and exhaustion in her expression

I jumped down and pulled her into my arms, I buried my face in her hair and held her close

"I just didn't feel so good is all I'm fine now" Hayley said tiredly leaning her head against my chest

I picked her up and set her in her bunk, when I went to leave she stopped me "stay please just for a while" she mumbled

I crawled in next to her and covered up. Hayley pulled my arms around her and buried her face in my neck

Hayley's POV

I woke up to the sound of someone's heartbeat and smiled. I knew Taylor would stay for more than just a while

I snuggled deeper into his chest, he always smelled like mint. Lately that had become my favorite smell

Ever since that night I just couldn't get him off my mind. Sure I had been drunk lots of times but I never slept with anyone

I realized the feelings I had been repressing all these years. Right before chad and I got together I was considering asking Taylor out but then Baylie came along

I thought I caught him looking a couple times but no he was only daydreaming, just my luck

I wish I could tell him but I doubt he'd understand. I mean how do you tell someone you're in love with them?

He started to stir so I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing trying to pretend to be asleep

I felt Taylor kiss my forehead then his arms were gone. I opened my eyes and he was no longer in my bunk

I frowned and decided it was time to wake up anyways I kicked the blankets off and checked twitter

I saw something from chad

@yelyahwilliams gets back from tour tonight and I couldn't be happier I missed you babe </3

I smiled and tweeted back at him

@xchadballx I missed you too baby can't wait to get home to that handsome face ;)

I felt a little guilty being with chad and having these feelings for Taylor oh and sleeping with Taylor behind his back

But it's not like Taylor and I will ever be a thing and things with chad have been slow for a while

It's not the first time I thought about ending things with him, certainly never wanted to cheat on him though

I heard the curtain to my bunk move slightly catching my attention, it was Jeremy

"Hayles we're in Tennessee you wanna get dropped off first" he asked, I sighed and nodded

After that I got ready and packed all my stuff. When Taylor walked by I stopped and kissed his cheek

He blushed and looked wide eyed at me "thanks for takin' care of me last night T" I giggled

He nodded "anytime Hayles you know I'll always be here to take care of you" he said

"Promise" I asked holding out my pinky, Taylor locked pinkies with me "promise" he smiled

I wrapped my arms around his middle and hugged him tight "love you Tay" I whispered

I felt his arms snake tightly around my waist "love ya too Hayles" he replied

Oh how I wish it meant the same thing that my "I love you" meant, I wish he loved me back

Taylor's POV

"Love you Tay" I heard Hayley whisper. I wanted to shout "I love you too Hayley so much!"

But I simply replied "love ya too Hayles" I wish she knew how much those words really meant to me

She pulled away but stayed in my arms and I got lost in those intoxicating emerald eyes that held so much love and hope and compassion

Suddenly I felt Hayley's soft delicate hand on the side of my face and her warm inviting lips against mine

I closed my eyes but unfortunately the second they snapped shut the kiss was over and Hayley was backing away towards the door

"Hayles it's okay it didn't mean anything" those words were a rusty knife being thrust through my heart

Hayley frowned "yeah that's right nothing" I heard her mumble to herself but I caught it as well

"We're here" our bus driver called out and Jeremy came sauntering back into the front lounge from another call with Kat

Hayley hugged him and told him "goodbye hairy face" making me laugh a little

She looked at me for a second before picking up her bags and quickly exiting the bus

Hayley's POV

his deep chocolate eyes searched through mine sending my hormones through the roof

I leaned up and placed a hand on his cheek gently connecting our lips, his were so soft and warm

But soon I realized I had fucked up once again and pulled away, no no how did that happen, I thought backing to the door

"Hayles it's okay it didn't mean anything" Taylor said, it didn't mean anything to him?

"yeah that's right nothing" I whispered to myself. Jeremy came back into the lounge and the driver announced that we'd arrived

I pulled him into a tight hug "goodbye hairy face" I said using his nickname from Kat

I heard Taylor chuckle a bit so I pulled away from Jeremy. I gave him one glance before leaving the bus
