Chapter 2: IF ONLY

[razzthekid]

Title: If Only
Pairing: Zaylor. Obviously.
Rating: Hmmm...I'd say PG-13, or maybe a VERY mild R due to the fact that it's from the point of view of a hormone-driven teenage boy. 'Nuff said.
Summary: I wanna hold you and love you, in my arms and then/ I wanna need you 'cause I need to be with you til the end/ Then I hear myself reply, you've got to

I read this a little while ago while I was on the run, and didn't have the time to comment right then. But I didn't forget! I just want you to know how much I loved this. I am all for angsty Taylor. You portrayed him so realistically, so perfectly, and I quickly found myself hooked! I can't wait to read more. :D

Thank you so much!!

Just so you know, (because it was confusing at first how I introduced the stories), I've turned this into a series (same characters/same storyline). There are 8 parts so far and the timeline jumps around a bit, so if you read the others be sure to pay attention to the dates!

And isn't angsty Taylor the absolute best??? I always love reading stories where he's halfway driving himself crazy. I don't know why we all love torturing him so much! But it's awesome.

This was awesome!!! Taylor being a jerk big brother was fun to read... but, also sad :( Poor Zac. :( I love the way you captured Zac's young naiivity though, and then also nailed the guilt, the hurt, everything, Taylor wanting to make it up... and then Mama Hanson dragging him off was sort of amusing, even though maybe it shouldn't have been, just serves him right.

And the kiss. It was adorable. Even more interested to see where this goes, now.

Haha I loved writing the bit about their mom finding out he was drunk. I don't know, I must love torturing them lol.
Yeah, in this story you'll find they're kind of jerky to each other a lot. I feel like it makes it more believable somehow. I know a lot of guys don't like to talk about their feelings so they end up taking everything out on other people and looking like huge douchebags.

Also! I hope the story isn't too confusing...the years jump around a lot from chapter to chapter, so I know it's probably a bit tedious

Taylor as the big brother picking on Zac .. Sort of .. But you've managed to write a very realistic youth troubled Taylor for sure with all his insecurities & the things that keep him occupied!

This is amazing! You are such a great writer :)

I really feel bad for what Taylor is going through and for how much this is affecting his relationship with Zac :(
