�Jesus!� Taylor yelled. �Do you usually break into people�s rooms and stand in their doorways without their knowledge?�
�I didn�t break in, I borrowed the extra key from dad�s room. And I wasn�t standing there long, just long enough to hear your little conversation with yourself. Being the caring brother I was, I decided I�d help you answer your own question,� Zac said like it was all completely common knowledge.
�Fuck you,� Taylor said.
�Now that�s not nice. I remember you running after me not more than an hour ago begging to talk to me. Now you can�t even speak in full sentences. What happened?� Zac said with his trademark smirk.
�Zachary, don�t fuck with me right now,� Taylor warned as he stood up and adjusted his towel.
�I don�t want to fuck with you,� Zac said. �Because I�m not some random pink-shirt-wearing party girl. But when you�re good and ready, you come knock on my door and attempt to fucking explain yourself and your behavior last night. Or, maybe you could pick up your phone and explain to your GIRLFRIEND how you acted like a complete shithead last night and cheated on her with a girl whose name you didn�t know. AGAIN.�
�Gabby,� Taylor said simply.
�Gabby what?� Zac said, looking confused.
�Gabby. Her name was Gabby.�
�Oh how touching. You found out her name this time.�
Taylor looked angry. �Zac�the other time�it was a long time ago��
�And you still haven�t told Nat yet, have you?� Taylor was silent. �Didn�t think so.�
�Zac, just�please just don�t tell anyone, okay?� Taylor asked.
�Explain it to me,� Zac demanded.
�Explain what?� Taylor asked.
�How you can tell one girl you love her, then run off and fuck some other girl right behind her back.�
�I didn�t sleep with Gabby,� Taylor said. Zac knew to believe Taylor. �Everything stopped when you and that girl walked in.�
�Would you have?�
�Maybe,� Taylor said. �It�s just��
�It�s just what? Taylor, Natalie fucking loves you. You know that, right?� His conversation with Natalie popped back into Taylor�s head� �You know I love you right?�
�Of course I know that! I�m not a total idiot!� Taylor yelled.
�Then stop acting like it,� Zac said as he headed for the door.
�Hey Zac?� Taylor asked.
�Yeah?�
�You won�t tell anyone, right?� Taylor asked, a hint of fear in his voice.
�Taylor, I haven�t told anyone your shit before. What makes you think I�d start now?�
