*Legendary* Chapter 8
Taylor paced back and forth like a mad man in his bedroom after Ike had shoved him in to get him away from Zac. He angrily shoved the books and papers off his desk and they went flying across the room and littered the floor. He kicked his mattress over and over until he felt a cramp rising up his leg.
He threw himself onto the bed in a huff, thinking about what a fool he'd made of himself tonight. He'd let her know that it had bothered him, catching her with Zac. But the thing that pissed him off the most was that he was so pissed off in the first place.
He jerked up when he heard his door slowly creaking open. It was Kendra. She looked at him with a worried and cautious expression.
"Get the fuck out." He mumbled angrily.
She rolled her eyes at him. "Fuck you." And with that she entered anyway, closing the door behind her.
Taylor sighed in exhasperation. He wanted to grab her and shake her and ask why. Why was she here? Why did she want someone like him? Then he wanted to hug her and kiss her and make sure she never left his room again. The latter thought made him the most angry. When had he lost control? She was nobody. She was his toy, his plaything. Why did it hurt him so badly to see her with Zac?
"I didn't want it to bother me... but it bothered me." Kendra began solemnly.
She couln't bring herself to look at him so she stared at the floor. "I hate that you had that girl in here. This is supposed to be our place."
Taylor sat up and ran a hand through his hair before glaring at her. He had to get a hold of this situation, of himself. "This is my room. I bring whoever the fuck I please in here, and do whatever the fuck I want to in here. If you don't like it, get the fuck out."
Taylor watched her smile bitterly at him and the look in her eyes nearly broke his heart. She turned to leave and he realized what a dick he'd been. Not just tonight, but all the other times he'd used her.
"Fuck... Kendra I'm...."
She didn't let him finish, she threw open the door and stormed out angrily. He knew if he let her walk out of his party he'd lose her for good and he wasn't sure if he could handle that. Suddenly he didn't care about his friends or his reputation or his popularity at school. He wanted her and that was all.
He jumped up off his bed and dashed after her. He ran down the stairs, skipping the last few and catching some air as he jumped to the floor. He spotted her in the sea of people, heading for the back door.
"Kendra! Kendra wait!" He yelled after her as he pushed people aside trying to reach her.
He realized she had no intention of turning around, so when he finally caught up to her in the kitchen he grabbed her arm and spun her around so he could look in her eyes.
"Kendra I'm sorry. Please... please don't go." He begged.
She looked around and saw a few people staring. She returned her gaze at Taylor and raised her eyebrows in astonishment. He was on his knees.
"Taylor..." She said through clenched teeth. "Get up... people are watching."
"Let them watch." He replied unphased. "I don't care about them anymore. I care about you. I want you."
She was still looking around at the crowd that was beginning to form around them and he realized he wasn't getting through to her. Tayor stood up and took her hand in his, raising it up like he'd just one the heavyweight title.
"DID YOU ALL HEAR THAT?!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT ANYONE THINKS. THIS IS MY GIRL, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK!"
Kendra's mouth dropped at what was happening before her. People began cheering, applauding, raising their glasses towards them. "KISS HER!" Somebody yelled.
And he did. He let go of her hand and she let him wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her on the mouth in front of everyone and an even louder applause followed. For a moment she just stood there dumfounded before tears formed in her eyes and a small smile touched her lips.
"Are you nuts?" She asked him after the crowd had begun to disperse.
"Certifiable baby." He replied before taking her hand, raising it to his lips, and kissing it.
