[♥ Taylor & Livia ♥]

chapter 1 ♪ ♫

Everyone wants something,
Everyone wants something,
Everyone wants something new...






The sun was setting, spreading its colors in the sky. Tints of orange, yellow and pink were slowly invading the normal blue shade and Livia looked up, using her hand to stop the light from dazzling her as she walked in a welcoming house's direction. Purple flowers were covering the borders of the drive leading to the beige stairs and the young girl ran up to the front door, pushing with her tiny finger on the bell. It was very rare that anyone would actually walk to the door to open it. The house, although quite big, always seemed to be completely full, and that's what Livia appreciated the most about it. The atmosphere could seem chaotic for anyone who was not used to it, but Livia almost felt home.

"Get in!"

She recognized Jessica's voice and turned the knob to take a sneak peek inside. Once, two of the kids had passed quickly in front of her as she was entering, making the front door knock her off. She remembers she had fallen flat out on her ass but especially couldn't forget the red marks on her forehead : they lasted at least a week.

Mackenzie's blond hair flew in the air as he pointed his older sister Avery with his lime green water gun. He skimmed next to Livia, followed by an other honey haired girl also holding a gun of a flashy pink color.

"Hi Livi!" the five years old boy let out, without sending her a glance before to disappear in the backyard with his sister as they both sprayed each other.

Livia could still hear their laughs and she smiled before to step inside the house.

"Hey Jess." she expressed, closing the door behind her.

Jessica moved her hand up in some sort of wave, her eyes still stuck on a book and just as Livia was going to ask her where her older brothers were, the young girl's finger pointed the basement stairs. Livia smiled, used to this kind of behavior. She didn't take it as indifference. In fact, it was the opposite : she felt like family. As she was walking down the wood stairs, she let her lips curl even more at the words "Dead End" written on the right wall and a sweet melody came to her ears.

"It's good. Try it a little quicker."

She stopped on the last stair, trying to remain unnoticed. She saw Zac nod to his brother before to hit his drumsticks together three times. His blond hair was falling over his shoulders and he moved his head to get a lock out of his eyes. He stuck his full-lips together as he followed his own rhythm with his head. At 12 years old, Zac was the youngest of the trio, but also the funniest and if Livia ever needed to smile, it's him she would always go to.

Isaac was looking at his fingers sliding on the chords of his guitar as he was humming inaudible words. He also had blond hair, although it was darker than his brothers' and that it tend to curl in the front. He was the oldest child of the family, and obviously the most mature of them all. He easily could handle his six siblings although he was only 17 and he was some sort of a natural leader.

But Livia's favorite brother was without a doubt Taylor. He had delicate traits and a slim body structure. He seemed to have blue lights instead of eyes, and they always seemed to radiate a different way than his brothers' brown eyes. He had the longest hair of the three, shining of a corn field color and could always be recognized by his melodic voice.

"Guys, we have a spectator."

Getting out of her daydream, Livia smiled to the three boys now staring at her. Zac's lips curled into a mischievous smile and he raised his eyebrows.

"It'll be ten dollars for the entrance." he joked. "Twenty if you want a good seat."

Livia rolled her eyes and walked closer to Taylor, letting one of her fingers slip on his keyboard.

"Oh yea, I forgot I'm now best friends with the famous Hanson brothers." she laughed.

"It'll always be free for you."

Turning her attention to the pretty boy standing next to her, she noticed the large smile his lips were now forming, his light blue eyes sparkling, and she found herself wondering if they would gleam this way even in the darkness.

"Why thank you!"

He winked at her and she hit her hips lightly on his body as he let out a short laugh.

"Suck-up!"

Taylor looked up at his younger sibling and rushed to him, dragging him down before he pretended to hit him in the stomach. Zac played along, letting out some painful cry and when his brother stopped, he remained on the floor, acting KO.

"Same ol' same."

The four of them looked up at the blond girl standing in the stairs at the exact same place Livia had stood only some minutes ago.

"Hey Mely." Zac said with a smile, moving his head up to take a look at the tiny girl.

He put back his head on the floor, motionless and once again, Livia rolled her eyes. She moved back to the blue eyed girl and allowed her arms around her neck, taking her into a tight hug. Amely was 13, and although she was only some months away from being 14 like her best girl friend, she was extremely eager to get older. Her tiny features made her pretty, but her gigantic blue eyes made her beautiful, and Livia couldn't understand why Mely would often complain about her physical traits.

Livia was very different from them all. Brown hair, green eyes... when they were the five of them together, she stood out the most simply because of the ordinariness of her features. She felt like she didn't fit in, sometimes, and although it was stupid to feel this way because of the color of her hair, she couldn't help it.

Zac finally got up and took the seat behind his drums and they started playing an other one of their new songs.

It was the middle of summer, and meeting in the three brother's basement was something they'd do almost every day. Today seemed different for the brunette, though, as she looked at her best friend, only noticing now the way her eyes seemed to be stuck on Taylor as he was singing. Mely leaned her head against the wall, staring at the boy behind the keyboard, and for the very first time in her life, Livia knew everything would change. Forever.

+Thanks Annah for the graphics!

chapter 2 ♪ ♫

Well the day has come to where
I've thought of no-one
Quite as much as I think of you
As the days go by I never wonder why
I just know it's true
Well the day has come...






An other song ended and Livia looked down at her watch, noticing the time, before to look by the small window. The sun was still bowing down, slowly giving the sky to the moon. Soon, it would be dark outside, and although Livia couldn't wait to see the bright stars shining on an indigo background, she knew she didn't have much time left away from home.

"Guys, shall we go to the park before it's too dark?" she proposed, turning around to meet Taylor's eyes.

The young boy smiled at her and nodded while Zac got up from his drums. He was normally the hyperactive kind of kid, and although he likes to hit on his instrument to relieve some stress, taking fresh air was something he knew he needed.

"Good idea, my ass hurts." he expressed.

Isaac's lips curled and he got up too, walking up to the girls before to place a quick kiss on the top of their heads.

"You guys do that, I have stuff to do."

He was seriously the most secretive guy they had ever met, and his mysterious side was extremely attractive to most girls in town, which made Livia and Amely laugh sometimes because he didn't notice it at all. He didn't have the gorgeousness of Taylor, or the humor of Zac, but his charm was working without a doubt.

"Have fun, Ike!"

When he was out of sight, Zac rushed up the stairs and with a grin, Livia ran after him, impatient to feel the cool wind on her face. It's only when she had filled her lung with pure air that she realized she had left Taylor and Mely together. The blond girl was her best friend, and being jealous of her was not something she needed, or wanted, but it was stronger than her. She leaned her head inside the house waiting for them.

"Tay? Mel? Are you coming?"

The sound of someone getting up the stairs quickly came to her ears and the blue eyes of the pretty boy met hers once again. Every time, it felt magic, but Livia knew it was all in her head. She had known Taylor for so long. If he was interested in her, he would have showed it somehow, at some point. Losing her smile, she walked up to Zac slowly. He was waiting for them on the sidewalk and when the brunette joined him, they started back walking together.

"You seem upset." he pointed, taking a glance at his friend.

Livia only shrugged and looked behind herself noticing Mely and Taylor laughing together a little further. Tay looked up at her and she looked away quickly, shyness invading her insides. Zac couldn't understand, since it was not unusual for them all to be so close. The young boy grabbed Livia's hand in his and pulled her, obligating her to run with him.

The park was desert and Zac let go of the girl's hand as they entered, taking a seat on a swing and Livia did the same.

"Did you fight with Mel?"

Livia frowned, looking down at the sand beneath her feet.

"No, why?"

"I don't know, I've never quite understood friendship between girls." he simply admitted, raising his shoulders.

Livia let out a short laugh.

"You can't really compare." she explained. "Mely and I are like sisters."

"True." he agreed.

She finally allowed herself to look at the honey haired boy who was staring at his brother sitting on a bench next to Mel.

"Hey!" he yelled at them. "Hide and seek?"

The two blond heads nodded and Zac got up.

"Come on." he urged Livia. "Okay, here are the rules. I count up to a hundred and you can only hide in the park."

It was a stupid game, but they all secretly liked it for the simple reason it would always end up in friendly fights and lots of laughs. Zac smiled and took place in front of a tree.

"Ready?"

Livia nodded frenetically with a smile but lost it soon after when she noticed Taylor's hand on her best friend's shoulder, feeling the jealous grow inside her once more. Mely looked uncomfortable, her face expressionless but her eyes staring at the hand on her. His touch was sweet, and it made her heart beat quicker than she expected.

It's stupid. she thought. It's not the first time he touches me.

The tree of them ran away and Livia forced herself to keep her focus on the game, trying to forget the fact that her two best friends may hide in the same spot. She took place behind a garbage can, her nose rising up in a grimace at the bad odor coming out from it. Zac would find her first, she knew it : she could never find a good place to hide anyway. An eternity seemed to pass while she was waiting for Zac to scream the last number. Taking a sneak peak from her hiding-spot, she saw the back of the boy and bit her bottom lip.

Mely had followed Taylor behind the bushes and looked at Zac one last time. He seemed extremely far away, but the girl knew he could be by their side in some seconds if he decided to run. She turned to Taylor who was trying to get a better view of his brother. Noticing she was next to him, he half-smiled.

"You should hide somewhere else to give us more chances." he whispered.

Disappointed, Mely shrugged.

"It's just a game." she tried to convince him.

"You know how Zac is." Taylor added. "If he wins, he'll talk about it for the rest of the week."

Despite herself, Mely's lips curled. It was true, Zac was a bad winner, but he was so funny that it didn't really matter to her. Staring at Taylor, she noticed the perfectness of his features. If someone had told her that her best friends would become famous, she would have agreed without a second thought, but now that it was true, it was harder to handle than she wanted to pretend. She still had Livia, and that was good, because losing her too would probably kill her. They were connected, and extremely close, and she hoped that nothing would ever change that.

"Where's Livia hiding?" Taylor asked, his eyes roaming around the park.

If she wanted to be honest with herself, Mely knew that Livia had some sort of weird crush on the special Taylor Hanson. It was obvious to everyone except Taylor himself, and probably Zac because he couldn't detect these kind of things. Maybe Livia was not completely aware of it either, since she never spoke a word about it to Amely, but the blond girl thought her best friend was just denying the fact to her own self, making it impossible for her to confide in anyone else about it. The two girls told each other everything, and the crushes were no exceptions.

This time, though, Mely knew that the attraction she felt toward Taylor needed to be put in the back of her head forever in hope to be forgotten. There was no way she wanted to break her friendship with one of the only persons she considered like family. But as time passed, it became harder and harder to hide this infatuation, and even heavier to carry as it grew more intense. She'd catch herself staring at him, and daydreaming about him all the time. Soon, someone else would notice it, too, and too many things could change from this revelation. She was not ready to face that. She never would be.

Zac started running straight in front of him, on the right of the bushes and Livia appeared behind a trash can, running too. Taylor chose this moment to rush to the tree in hope to win and Mely followed him close behind.

Trying to pass far from Zac, Livia let out a scream when he bumped into her, pushing her on the green grass. The ground was cold under her naked thighs but she felt the warmth of a hand landing on her right one and she jumped in surprise. Zac sat up promptly with a quick apology and Livia smiled shyly at the awkward moment. The cheeks of the boy turned a soft shade of red as he remained motionless. He didn't even try to stop his brother when he ran up to the tree, putting his hand on the bark.

"And the winner is!" Taylor let out in a scream before a sweet laugh escaped his lips.

Amely stared at Livia and Zac sitting on the ground, both embarrassed by what had happened.

"Come on." The younger boy told, getting up and extending his arm.

Livia put her hand in his and he helped her up, pulling on her strongly. Not expecting this much strength, the brunette bumped once again into him, her lips brushing briefly one of his cheeks, making her laugh timidly.

"We're clumsy when we're together." she noted, trying to make the atmosphere more enjoyable.

Taylor was now closer to the three others, a frown drawing itself on his forehead. He didn't say anything but he was not smiling anymore, and the tension was almost palpable. Amely's glance went from Taylor, to Zac and Livia, and a pain appeared inside her stomach, followed by nausea. Livia had the attention of both brothers. It was always like that. And although she loved her best friend to bits, she couldn't help but think it was not fair.

"I have to go, guys." she lied, making her way rapidly to her home.

A tear fell from her left eye but she quickly wiped it. All she wanted to do was curl up in her bed and cry, no matter how ridiculous the situation seemed to be.

[♥ Taylor & Livia ♥]

chapter 3 ♪ ♫

Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
Makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging in the back of my head
I see it over and over





A lot of things ran through Mely's mind as she was walking away from her best friends, and many scenarios came through her head, making her eyes wet. She didn't want to lose them, but it was getting harder to handle. For once in her life, she wanted to be the favorite, the number one, for someone. She cursed in a low tone, more ashamed of the feelings inside of her than of the words coming of her own lips.

"Amely! Wait!"

With a sigh, the blond girl pretended not to hear and dived her hands in her pockets while her best friend was running after her.

"Mely, stop!" Livia yelled as her long brown hair moved around her.

She grabbed her friend's arm as she got to her level and kept on walking with her, trying to catch her breath. Frowning at Amely's facial expression, Livia bit her bottom lip in wonder.

"Are you okay?"

There was no way Amely was going to admit her jealousy, and she forced her lips to curl, sending a smile to her best friend. It was not worth breaking a friendship over, and she didn't want to make Livia feel guilty or uncomfortable the next time she'd get this kind of attention. After all, it was not her fault, and there was no reason for Mel to make her friend pay for her insecurity. She turned to her friend and noticed her worries, but also the way her eyes shined for a reason Mely ignored.

"Yea, I'm fine." she lied. "It's just my curfew time."

"Can I sleep at your place?"

Amely hesitated. She mostly felt like spending time alone in her room to think, but Livia was her best friend, and she knew that in the end, she'd be happy to have her home. Taking a quick glance behind her, she noticed the guys staring at them as they left. Zac waved shyly at her but she didn't answer and allowed herself to smile.

"Sure." she finally agreed.

"Amazing!" Livia expressed as they stood right in front of her house. "I'll go get my stuff and meet you at your place!"

With one last grin, she ran to her front door and disappeared behind it, leaving Amely alone. She sighed, putting the hood of her blue jacket over her head, hiding her waterfall of honey hair. Slowly, she walked inside her house and walked up the stairs, passing next to her older brother who grabbed her arm, making Amely sigh. She didn't particularly liked to be touched, and it was the second time in only some minutes, making her annoyance grow.

"Lyly, are you okay?"

Billie was the only one who had the right to nickname her that way, and she liked hearing it from his mouth : he sounded like their father more than he wanted to admit. She looked down, trying not to stare into his eyes, knowing he'd immediately find out something was wrong. She remembered her best friend sitting down on the grass, and the way Zac was over her... but more importantly, the frown Taylor was sending his brother and his best friend. He was jealous of Zac, and she was jealous of Livia, how could something like that ever turn out well? She was a simple corner of a love square. Even worse than that, because no one liked her. Now that she was thinking about it, it seemed more like a love triangle between Taylor, Zac and Livia, while Amely was only standing outside, powerless to everything that was happening, and without getting any kind of attention.

"Yea, I'm fine." she bluffed. "Can you tell mom that Livia is staying home tonight?"

Billie noticed in the puppy eyes his sister was sending him that she was not in the mood for discussion, and he knew her well enough to know that it'd be better if he didn't insist. If she wanted to talk, Amely would come to him, and that was okay this way. He nodded to her and walked down the stairs while his sister went to her room and closed the door behind her before to throw herself on the cover of her bed. She crossed her feet and grabbed the basket ball next to her, making it spin quickly on her forefinger. She knew she was not as girly as Livia was, and she'd rather wear comfortable clothes than cute clothes, but that was not a reason for not considering and treating her like a girl. Out of frustration, she threw the ball roughly on her door as it was opening and Livia only had time to move her head, feeling the orange ball brush her hair.

"Wow, girl." she expressed, surprised. "That's anger right there."

"Sorry Liv." Amely sighed. "I'm just in a bad mood."

The blond girl noticed that her best friend had changed from her dress to her pajamas and her hair was now down on her shoulders, falling gracefully until her lower back. Amely sat up, giving Livia some space to sit down next to her.

"What's wrong?"

Livia dived her eyes in her friend's, expressing worries.

"We're best friends." she continued. "You know you can tell me everything."

Mely's light blue eyes filled themselves with tears, and her lips started to shake. She wanted to let it all out, she wanted to tell her best friend everything, no matter how awkward it would become between them afterward. She had to open up and express her feelings because she couldn't take it anymore. The weight of these secrets were crushing her, and it was too much to handle.

"I love Taylor." she enlightened in one breath. "I know you like him, and I know he likes you. But the attention he's giving you is hurting me more every day."

In shock, Livia stared at her best friend, her mouth slightly open and her eyes rounder.

"I'm jealous of you." Amely continued. "I don't want to, but it's stronger than me. You always catch the three of them's attention, and I can't keep them concentrated on me for more than a minute."

As she spoke her deepest thoughts, tears invaded her cheeks, quickly falling down her chin. Livia managed to get closer, putting her arms carefully around her best friend. Feeling lighter, Amely allowed herself to break out of her shell completely, laying her head on Livia's shoulder as she sobbed in her shirt.

"Mely, you're beautiful, and I know the boys love you." Livia whispered. "You shouldn't denigrate yourself this way."

Livia's heart was aching for her best friend. The news that Amely and her longed for the same boy was more than a disappointment : it was a heart break. There was no way she could be with him anymore, knowing how much it would hurt her best friend. Why should it surprise her anyway? They were so alike, something like that was meant to happen at some point. Mely cried in her arms for a while, until she wiped her tears off and looked at her friend, biting her bottom lip.

"No one will ever separate us, did you hear me?" Livia promised sweetly. "We're stronger than that. Our friendship is stronger than that."



I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then
I want to need you cause I need to be with you til the end
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time, tonight





It was 11 in the morning when Taylor felt a pillow crush over his head, making him groan in annoyance. He turned around on his side before to feel an other hit and forced himself to open his eyes, seeing his younger brother with a large smile crossing his lips.

"Time to get up!" he yelled, punching his brother an other time.

Taylor grabbed the pillow this time and pulled on it.

"There's no time to get up, it's summer." he informed, hitting his brother back.

Zac laughed, grabbing an other pillow on his brother's bed and they started fighting, waking Taylor up completely. After a while, seeing he was losing, Taylor kept battling with Zac while walking to the bathroom and he quickly closed the door behind him.

As the hot water was falling on his body, he thought about the events of the night before. He would never understand girls, and it was seriously annoying him. When Zac and Livia had started flirting despite themselves, he had felt this jealousy invade his body, and he didn't like it. So maybe he liked Livia more than he wanted to admit, but what he couldn't understand is how Zac could be interested, too. It was weird to think that he was in competition with his own brother, and he didn't like the idea of hurting anyone, especially his own blood. Somehow, he had the feeling Livia was not indifferent to him, and this thought made him smile.

After dressing up, he went to join his brother and they both decided to spend their day with the girls. They arrived in front of a large white house. It was beautiful, but as usual, it seemed lifeless, and they had the confirmation that no one was home when they rang the doorbell without getting any answer. Taylor felt a pain at heart : Livia was alone most of the time, and although it clearly hurt her, she never complained about her parents being away. Her older sister had a new boyfriend, and spent her time with him, while the brunette had to take care of herself every day.

They went to Amely's place, and Taylor decided to climb to the girl's window using the drainpipe. When he was at the top, he stared at the two girls sleeping. Livia's long brown hair was hiding half of her face and her chest moved slowly as she breathed. Amely was curled like a kitty, her knees close to her chin. Her sheets were stuck in a ball form at the edge of her bed.

His eyes moving from a girl to the other, Taylor smiled at the sight of his two friends. He couldn't believe how much they meant to him, and he knew it would be hard on him when they'd have to leave for their summer tour. They only had some days left together, and he didn't want to spoil a second.

With a smile, Zac watched as his brother was knocking softly on the glass, waking both girls up at the same time.

"Girls! We're here!"

"Get down, Jordan Taylor Hanson!" Livia yelled, quickly getting out of bed and walking up closer to him. She opened the window as Mely was joining her.

"We'll be there in a second."

"Now get down!" the brunette repeated.

Looking down at his brother, Taylor smiled.

"They're coming."
