Matty's POV
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIjgggHXWH
The snow, which is now falling heavily, is oddly peaceful. At one am nobody is walking about and disturbing it. The car park is still almost devoid of people. Pulling my phone out, I arrange a tow for the 4x4 online so that it gets sent back home for tomorrow.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55I741TA0
Taking a long pull on my cigarette and looking up I see Jay eyeing me. Give me a break, I think to myself, it’s already killing me that he’s been with her alone. Wondering what he might have said to her, how he would have comforted her.

"You okay man" he asks dragging on his own cigarette.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObw1h1z6Jg
"I'm all good just towing the car home." I tell him simply.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcbHxEn1dT
"Is she going to be okay" he asks tentatively.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RNfaSN5vS
"Not seen her that way before" he adds softly as I turn to inspect him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYYT2TAyYC
"I know. It was tough on her I think she thought he was a goner." I explain pocketing my phone and facing him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uh8ciwS86
“She was collapsed in the snow beside him when I found her. Completely cold through and through, grasping at his hands and checking for a pulse” he explains looking into the parking lot.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIEQw1KcXT
The guilt I feel for not being able to help her in her time of need is immense. However at the time, without my car he was the best option to help her, to stop this from becoming an absolute nightmare where she ends up physically hurt. The prospect of her having conceived my child was very much on my mind the entire time.

“Are you okay man?" I ask him, aware that he may also be feeling a sense of shock.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAN45kVgdt
"I’m fine, she isn’t" he says simply.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrxbsTIHT3
“She cried a lot in the car” he adds, sighing slightly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9iPnOboX2
"You think she's got him talking yet?" He asks turning to me, one hand in his pocket as he smokes.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNj0dVewAZ
"Well I guess we will see" I say knowing that Taylor will not stop until she talks to Ross, and makes sure that he is okay.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9IHl5mBN
"She ugh is a very caring person" he says oddly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIByKGsgQsL
"Well don't give her too much credit!" I laugh sarcastically.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuH1Wk2uME
"No I just mean, the way she reacted to him in the hospital bed. And how she has been trying to get him to wake up" he explains.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC6HU2ffL8
"Yes? Do you not know Taylor? At all? She hung up on me in the car and went looking for him putting herself in danger" I retort.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti7GDfttnE
"She's like that, always has to do the right thing. Risks herself over stuff like that." I say and is it coming across that I'm proud of her?
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKplbBdAx
"She would even do it for you Jay" I laugh.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVffaVmW5SP
"It's fucking admirable." He says taking a last drag on his cigarette and then drop shooting it into an ash tray.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LLMVSpxph
I shake my head and follow him back through the revolving doors, he eyes the receptionist on the way in and she blushes.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRs1qKqEOR
Pulling him and his Barbour jacket over to the food hall, I notice it’s similar to Taylor’s jacket and sigh. He pulls his black beanie off of his head and blonde waves tumble down almost to his shoulders.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCszACzDE
“Let’s grab some food” I tell him as he follows me, a whole host of female attention on him as he strolls around casually pushing his wavy hair back.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP0kuPlrsz
“Chocolate is not food” he snarks heading over to the deli counter and purchasing meat and fancy cheeses.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd7b0y2EqR
Taking the elevators up to the west wing, he inspects the chocolate and fizzy drink I’ve bought her and smiles. I roll my eyes at him whilst imagining the smile she will give me when she sees it.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKE2l6E1ex
Jay strides through the wing of the hospital as nurses move out of his way and smirk at one another. He clicks open the handle on the door and I distinctly hear Ross’ low chuckle. Jay looks back at me smirking as I think to myself that there is nothing that my girl cannot achieve.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FJdlNJU8F
"You're incredible and I got you a chocolate bar" I smirk watching Taylor turn to face me.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAQBczYB2y
"Thank you" she smiles.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAx0JUj78g
“I got you a selection of meat and cheese” Jay laughs and Ross scoffs.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxt3GJfa2
"Glad you're back with us brother" I tell Ross as he nods at me weakly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAtfKPDvXU
"What did you say then" Jay asks Taylor as she grabs some pastrami and cheese and eats it.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CMvfXxWpV
"She was telling me awful jokes" Ross laughs, smiling to himself.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOVI9kWGrW
“Hey you did laugh at some of them." She teases him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPmBt5Qo6J
“They were that bad I took pity on you” he smirks.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoLdHpJYT1
“You’re very lucky that I cannot hit you” she smirks heading to the duffle bag I bought over from home. Placing her Barbour jacket on the recliner chair she stands and stretches out in the little skirt and jumper she’s still wearing.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FCz6g07ZO
"I brought you a shirt if you wanna change by the way" I explain as she rifles through the bag and pulls out my check shirt that she always ends up wearing.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DgouQjXrS
"Perfect" she says heading into the small bathroom.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZTglvH7EL
"You got my tooth brush too" she smiles over from the en-suite.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLl2z0bVKa
"Well yeah I was waiting for the cab thinking what should I bring, Did I do good?" I call over watching her strip down and smiling to myself as I recline back on the chair.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGLikKBM7T
"Perfect as always" she laughs heading back into the room in just my shirt. Seated in the recliner next to mine she lays down on her side facing me. I can't not look at her. She's literally been crying all day, but she looks amazing all of the time.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ZY9davcA
Placing a blanket over to her for her to use when she wants to sleep. The nurses couldn’t say no to Jay before when he explained that driving in the snow was far too treacherous, and so they have allowed us to stay.

Taylor's POV
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFRu4FjvNr
So in a bizarre turn of events we are all sitting watching TV in Ross' hospital room. Another movie playing out on the flatscreen. And through their constant chatter I’ve realised that Matthew and Jay actually get on very well.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpDKXloyZj
Ross murmurs a little, he's been drifting in and out of sleep. I stand up and ask him if he's okay as Jay eyes me from his chair.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7qFOa4QPj
"More morphine? Maybe" I ask Ross.I feel his forehead. And he's just ever so slightly warm.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQCn1xW6jc
"You're kind of warm" I say pushing his hair back, feeling the perspiration and worrying.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqExXzMwqr9
"I'll call for the nurse" I say.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikK4b1tDZI
"I thought you were one" Jay laughs as I look at him, and stick out my tongue.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjnlOATVL6
The nurse arrives. An older lady, with brunette hair tied into a plait, she reminds me of my mum. I speak with her as she enters. She smiles at me warmly checking Ross over.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvm4uelBFl
"He is warm, you're right however the morphine will sort that out" she tells me pressing the button and sorting out the drip.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNuomCmGgD
"Are you interested in being a trainee dear" she asks before she leaves. I chuckle turning my attention back to Ross.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC0NCVF8by
"Told you" Jay smirks and I roll my eyes.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwdPT9Jec5
Matty eyes me quickly and smiles. It's a shame that I can't lay in his arms tonight. I stare up at him laying on my side. Blanket around the end of my legs. It is warm in here. Hospitals are supposed to have a lack of funding but they sure have the money to heat them.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlwjYvjfP
"Babe don't look at me like that" Matthew whispers.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu063BmBas
"Like what!?" I say smirking.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllI8i1PM3n
"You know what" he chuckles and tickles me.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1Il4a28N
"Get some rest" he warns me placing his hand under my chin and guiding my lips to his. After a long kiss he lets me go.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6wfrZACi
"I’ll deal with the patient" he says softly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEcuCesgd
The nurses have allowed us to stay on the recliners over night because of the disruptive weather and heavy snow. I had imagined us all having to ride back in Jay’s range however it appears we’re all having a hospital sleepover instead.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvcVbLMaeY
Lying on my back, I finally rest, closing my eyes for hopefully a dreamless sleep.
