Chapter 2 Love Hate

Chapter 1

Taylor's pov

Taylor got up and got dressed for school. She hated that the summer was over. This was her senior year that's the only thing that kept her going is knowing that she would soon be gone.

Once she had enough credits to graduate, she was leaving this town and all the pain it caused her behind. The last two years were the worst of her life. It almost destroyed her and her family.

It was all because she fell for the mayor's son Noah. She thought he was sweet and that he loved her, but all he did was bring her down. He lied and cheated. When she broke up with him, he made her life a living hell. He even cost her family their company and home.

They had to move into a small house and basically start over. She hated Noah now and couldn't remember why she even loved him in the first place. Her mom knocked on the door and told her to hurry so she wouldn't be late.

She was dreading this day. She managed to go the whole summer without seeing Noah. There was no way she would be that lucky today. I got in my car and drove to the place I call hell my high school.

I parked in the back so that hopefully this year no one would mess with my car. I've had my tires slashed. My windows broken out, and my car painted with nasty things on it. No one did anything about it because I was trouble.

Noah did me so wrong, yet I was the towns bitch. The slut that cheated on him. No one would even let me explain so I just ignored everyone. I had no one. My friends didn't even talk to me in school anymore.

Then again, I didn't blame them because if they did Noah's fan club would go after them. I walked into the school holding my head up high. I never let them see how much they affected me. I didn't want to give them anymore power.

I got to my locker without anyone saying anything to me. They looked at me and just walked on by. What was going on? Why was everyone ignoring me? I was scared because this was something new. They never just ignored me.

I looked over and saw Noah standing by a locker just looking at me. Great what did he have planned now? I let myself look at him then put my head down and put my things in my locker. I grabbed the book I needed for my first period class and started to walk to it when Noah stopped me.

"Hey Taylor, can I talk to you."

"What do you want Noah?"

"Look I know the last two years has been well it hasn't been good. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry."

"Are you high?"

"What no. Look I am in AA, and they have 12 steps one of them is asking forgiveness."

"Well save it for someone that gives a damn. You cost me and my family everything. If you are sorry then just forget I ever existed. Tell your flunkies to ignore me as well."

"I already did that. That's why everyone is ignoring you. Look Taylor I know sorry isn't enough, but I promise you I will spend every day making it up to you."

He leaned down and kissed me then walked away. I just stood there shocked. What the hell was this? I knew he was up to something, but I wouldn't fall for it this time around. No, I would never let Noah get close to me ever again.

All though feeling his lips on mine felt way too good, but I'd never admit it to anyone. As much pain as he caused me, I was still in love with the jerk. Maybe he really was sorry. Then again maybe this was another one of his games.

Either way I had to keep my guard up. Noah was far too dangerous for me to ever underestimate again. The last time I did that he cost me and my family everything. I know my family still hates me for what happened. We used to be so close, but now we never talk at all.

No, he took way too much from me for me to give him forgiveness. He could try all he wants he would never make things better. He could never give me back all I had lost. I hurried to my class and set down before the bell rung.

Everyone just looked at me. Some said hi and even smiled at me. Yes, this day was going to be a very long very weird one.
