Taylor - Part 2

"So none of you are going to take me there? You don't want to give me support?!" said Taylor with an calm expression and cold tone. One hour after Samuel sent the text which set Taylor ablaze with anger, her three friends came. Sienna and Jessie looked very worried, while Olga, as usual, seemed calm even though her friend was grieving. 

"It's not like that, Taylor. If I were you, just leave it. Forget it. It really is not worth it. You are wasting your energy and thoughts on someone who is now a nobody to you!" Olga replied, hugging a cushion on the edge of Taylor's bed. "You guys broke up already! And now you know for yourself, what kind of jerk you've been dating for the last three years! Why would you still want to have any business with someone like that?!" Olga continued with a sarcastic tone. 

"Olga is right, Taylor. It's really not important to have any further business with Samuel, not to mention just to show him how angry you are. He never treated you right, Taylor! Move on with your life. It's his lost, not yours!" Jessie added softly, trying to neutralize the Olga’s high tones. But Taylor was silent. She slumped even more in her chair. Her gaze was blank, facing the window.

Silence held on for a long time until Taylor spoke. "That's it! He must know all that! He has really hurt me. In the past 3 years, it turned out that I had never meant anything to him! What are my shortcomings? Looks like I have been defending him in vain all this time." Taylor's voice broke the silence.

"So that's why, Taylor! You don’t need to see him, get angry with him. It’s a waste of your time and energy. Useless! Even if you talk until foam comes out of your mouth, he won't change!” replied Sienna.

"No! I still have to meet him! He must know my feelings! I won’t accept how he’s treated me for the last 3 years!" said Taylor.

"Ouch! What else are you going to do? Forget it, don't even bother! What if something bad happens to you, Taylor?” Jessie said with worried face.

"Take it easy. I just want to give him a little piece of my mind!" Taylor said, taking her towel and went to the bathroom. She just remembered that she hadn’t showered for 2 days.

From behind the steering wheel, Taylor's eyes can’t stop staring at Samuel who was sitting with his friends in the cafeteria. Joking, laughing freely, without burden.

Taylor took deep breaths, trying to snuff out the anger burning in her heart. She casually got out of the car, approached the table where Samuel had gathered with his friends. Samuel only silently watched as Taylor stood nearby. The atmosphere that had been merry with laughter, now silent with awkward. Samuel's friends suddenly became busy on their own.

"I want to say something!" said Taylor, flat but firm.

"Taylor, no need. Three days ago, I already told you that I ..."

"Or do you want me to talk here, in front of your friends?" Taylor's intonation increased, making Samuel surprised and immediately stood up awkwardly.

"Okay. Let’s look for an empty table." Samuel said softly. His eyes went around looking for an empty table.

"No need! You think I'm here begging to come back again as before? Not. I'm here just for a short talk." Taylor said curtly. "Let’s do it in the parking lot." She added and immediately turned to leave Samuel. Samuel followed Taylor to the parking lot and leaned against the door of her car. "I just wanted to say something that I should have realized 3 years ago. You've never treated me properly ..."

"Taylor, you mean ..."

"Sam, please! Just this once, listen to me and don't interrupt! In these 3 years, you have never treated me right! You really never understand people, huh? At least, respect the feelings of those closest to you! You've trampled my pride many times, you know? It's clear that you don't deserve me, Sam! In fact, you don't deserve anybody in this world. Except those of the same nature as you!" said Taylor, pointing her finger at Samuel's face. "Someone equally selfish, possessive, bossy! So you can feel for yourself how uncomfortable it is to be with someone like that! ”

"Taylor, now you listen to me ..." Samuel tried to grab Taylor's arm which was immediately pushed over harshly.

"Hey, what do you think I’ve been doing for the last 3 years, if I wasn’t listening to you?! That's enough, Sam. I no longer want to listen to you. You should listen to everything I told you earlier! You should change!" Taylor immediately opened the car door, intended to leave before Samuel can do anything. But before getting into her car, Taylor said "Good women are created for good men. Remember that, Sam!"

Without waiting for Samuel's response who was still shocked, Taylor entered the car and immediately started the engine. She opened the window and smiled a little to Samuel who was still standing by the door of her car. "I am relieved that I have said all of that to you. Oh yeah, FYI, I'm fine, Sam! And I have forgiven all that you’ve done for the past 3 years. Bye." The Taylor left Samuel alone, scratching his head in the parking lot. He couldn’t believe the once weak Taylor could change so dramatically. In the car, with a broad smile on her face, Taylor couldn’t believe it either.
