I sway on my own, missing Jays arms around me. Feeling his breath on my cheek. I look over at Rach, she's dancing with Nate and looking out warily. I turn my gaze to who she is watching and I see Ross approaching me. She's aware, of us. Since I told her that I kissed him, she's been watching the situation unfold. And just as she is about to intercept him. I smile at her. I'm grateful for her looking out for me, but all will be okay. Ross is my best friend, it is prom. We can dance. Only dance.

"Rach is aware of what happened" I whisper to him as he embraces me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyBusEIWaX
"I told her that I kissed you" I say softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTpLYgBR7
"Ah right" he says softly in my ear. My body melts and we just sway together.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOVXiHbgwe
His hands hold my lower back and I rest in his chest.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYb5lkgIrA
"Why did you tell her" he whispers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC472pALLDR
I look back at him confused.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh7xl3C3eO
"I told her because she could sense there was something going on between me and Jay. I told her that we were hugging and that you needed me." I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4Onf90hR
"I need you all the time" he chuckles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnW5hUZE1l
I smile at him. A slow song comes on and he pulls me closer still. I can feel his chest and his abs. Jay returns and he asks Rachel for a dance. She accepts slightly taken back, and I smile.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFefPDMRilm
Ross holds onto me as if I'm going to disappear, his hands stroking my back. I look up at him, his true blue eyes holding nothing but love.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkBsHX66iN
"You have to share me, Matty is getting awkward on his own" I whisper looking at him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZkU3k97HH
"One more song" he says softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVaT6QSfMz
I sigh and rest my head back down, smiling into his chest.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCpvaQDppK
"You look wonderful" he whispers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JgnNlTzfa
"Truly wonderful" he repeats.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCDzRzGtJT
"Hey you don't look too bad yourself" I chuckle.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdUVacD8HL
"I'm sorry about Kat" I say softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBsCCrtDxG
"Don't be. I had already predicted it would happen. Part of me knows that any girl I get with will sense you and the connection that I have with you" he says.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji6KfclyZ6
"That's why I'm so sorry" I say looking up at him with tears prickling at my eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKmJ49EPY
"No seriously that was a stupid thing for me to say." He says pushing his hair back out of the way.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWMkfDpJA
"Okay I value you more than any of that" he sighs.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1LTBLYCj
"What we have, even like this, is perfect for me" he says.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUkyuf8tV
I glance over at Rach who is growing concerned. I sigh.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYFFzJDzR
"Let's just dance" I say to him and he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLP3SoCay
We stay in each other's arms, me rocking against his hips. He hugs me as the song is ending. Just purely holding onto me and I yield to him. When he lets me go he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftLKDAuMgw
"Go on then, even though I want to hold you all night long" he whispers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVp2UxGNdP
He asks Rachel to dance next and both Jay and Matty go for me. Jay chuckles and indicates Matty can take this dance.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaJCMmD8W7
"I'm just going to smoke" he whispers in my ear.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlPVdIyE7
I nod to him and kiss his lips briefly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap6NdishPW
Matthew is altogether different. He holds me on my waist lightly and his hands reach around to my back. We're quiet, I'm focusing on his touch. I look up into his eyes briefly and try to stop myself from blushing. He still has that intense stare, holding onto my eye contact. I look down again, rest my head on his chest. I feel him exhale.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp4EnFLbAr
It's a slow song, again. Not one that I recognise, an old song. He begins softly singing along in my ear, and I relax into him. His singing voice is low, and enchanting. I've not heard it hardly ever before. I savour it.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tbLo4H6lO
"Tay" he says breaking his tune.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH76pESpXe
"Yes" I say looking at him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mIq1a5dG
"Are you okay? I just have to know that you are happy?" He asks softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4OMCnRT06
"Yes I'm happy" I say to him snuggling back into his chest. I feel him inhale sharply and realise I should probably dial down the affection. Hormones.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ahbpaxCN
"Are you happy" I ask him. What a stupid question to ask somebody who just attempted to take their own life. I chastise myself for being so insensitive.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1fKh8I8M
"Right now, I'm happy with you" he says simply.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszlN379CaN
"With you in my arms" he says gazing down at me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3tFX8ozcV
We just dance for a while longer. His hands on me keeping me close.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsoKxxLmUB
"What's going on by the way" he chuckles softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwg0lf80yr
"Is it that noticeable" I laugh.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu9T5uuyFu
"With Rachel shooting daggers at Ross anytime he comes close to you, yes it is" he laughs.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufMPgiWOE
"When you were in hospital, Ross was upset. I hugged him. And I just meant to comfort him. He told me he needed me so I kissed him." I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkBWCbI8fK
"It's my own fault" I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfYzgZeGR
"Jay knows?" He looks at me intently.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgvR5QZETE
"Yes he knows." I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwXV8x3dHw
"Well I'll be damned" he says in disbelief.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryUDnZosc
"Sorry" he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qi5bNIZh3
"It's just I've known Jay for years, and that's not something he would ever..." he begins.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHI13fE2rn
"Forgive" I say finishing his sentence. He nods thoughtfully. Talking to Matty is like having a conversation with myself, we think alike. He takes time to listen and then he responds, he's calm. He makes me calm.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psJBjkP5X
"So Rachel is just trying to avoid any more drama" I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg1I6gFf5Z
"Which is not going to happen, seen as I've already screamed at Ross' date" I laugh.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP8N6DIhj8
"She deserved it." He says.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mpwpZK4oh
"Seriously" he laughs looking at my quizzical expression.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTua3reANR
He sways with me for a while longer and eventually goes back to humming in my ear.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak4CgWPE7x
"You saved his life. That's bound to leave a mark on anybody" he comments.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAbRm1PcsS
"He's kept me sane, he's helped me through my difficulties and he's always stood up for me. He has saved me over and over. And I shouldn't kiss him and I shouldn't shout at his prom date and I really should not lead him on. I'm engaged and..." I say getting myself worked up.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqddpBNLwy4
"He knows and he's aware of that, you told me he guessed." Matty says hushing me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ETWkoCZo
"He did yes" I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZN1CWXzUY
"So don't beat yourself up." He says softly and I look into his eyes. He's soft, patient and he has always helped me to talk through things.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yER6gP2qG
"I'm happy for you, I love you with everything that I have but I'm happy for you all the same" he says hands on my back.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXO6wxTU6A
"Thankyou Matthew" I say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoerrGRSt
He holds my stare and I hold his eye contact.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i9oJJzOCv
"Imagine, our child would be born by now." He says and it takes me completely off guard. He isn't being malicious. He isn't trying to make me upset, he's just reminiscing.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYHhDrB4cR
"I can still see it all, you and me at prom together. Kim looking after the baby. He would have had your eyes" he smiles looking down at me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyA8KxYhSg
"We wanted that so so much" I smile and we're having a healthy conversation about our loss together.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33DbX5QRUI
"Little baby" I say smiling and I run my hand subconsciously over my tummy. He watches the gesture and he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKse45LIldI
"How far along are you" he asks softly, he pushes his brunette curls back. I miss the gesture he did it all the time when we were together.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZGrBNNSk0
"Just over 6 weeks" I say watching his green eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY17kDfOUd
He smiles and rubs my back a little.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsQWKoNVn
"I miss you so much" he says.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoiz1zxyzi
"Like to the point of just going to sleep at night is still so difficult. And waking up, having the reason to be happy when I get up isn't there anymore" he says holding me close to his body.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l7KzHcB7b
"But I'm still here for you. I've not gone." I say conscious of what just almost happened. I can't let him feel isolated.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Z904G0Np
"I'll always be here Matty" I say softly in his ear. I stroke his face with my hands and lightly kiss him on his cheek.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2HmIEUXR
"I do love you" he whispers almost to himself.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLuMOvARkU
I wipe my eyes. His head snaps up and he smiles at Jay approaching.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkySga0p0o
"All yours" he says to him, as he passes me back. Jay smiles at him and takes me in his arms. I am terribly lucky to have these hot gorgeous men hugging and holding me all night long.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmEYh2VBNN
"You smell nice" I say snuggling close into Jays chest.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxpZ1UOjfJ
"I went and got spray to take away the cigarette smell" he sighs.
"I've throughly washed my hands too" he says looking at me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGAFE509Nv
"Jay you can have a cigarette and not feel guilty" I remind him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7rc6PbjpD
We stay in each other's arms. He rubs my back lightly, occasionally pushing my hair back behind my shoulder. Kissing my neck softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHDUxE4pwl
"Mmm" I say as the music picks up again.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMMxTxSBUb
"Taylor" he whispers as I sway my hips into him. Just grinding on him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMT4itv5X
"Are you trying to make me take you aside and do you against a wall" he says in my ear.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHGmgYBD8N
"Yes" I say back and he smiles.
