Taylor's POV
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwld23k8je
Eyes that are cool and blue, eyes that like an ocean you could either drown in or simply float off into paradise. I gaze into those eyes briefly, wondering whether I will float or whether he will pull me under.

“It’s what you would expect” he says to me softly, his lips on my ear as we walk through a dense forest. I gaze up at him and then ahead, a large bear. My fight or flight kicks in and his hands steady me before I run in the opposite direction.

“No running” he whispers.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84sTeLW1As
“No noise he hasn’t seen us” he says pulling me into his chest. Facing his chest, hearing the grunts of the bear and the solid rhythm of his heart.

“Jay” I say softly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bAqOFrdZg
“Taylor, I got you. Always” he replies softly. Gazing up into his eyes, I float away with him.

I jolt awake in the morning, not recognising my surroundings entirely yet terribly grateful that I’m not being faced with a huge black bear. Staring briefly at the beige ceiling, realising I had kicked my blanket off in the night. Matthew is asleep next to me in his recliner, His brunette hair falling around his face. Briefly watching the steady rise and fall of his bare chest, I regulate my breathing to his before I kiss him lightly on his lips. I pull my shirt back down over my hips and swivel myself out of my recliner remembering the accident, everything.

Upon observing that Ross is asleep and that his machine is stable I decide there is no need to worry. Satisfied, I yawn and stretch out. Jay catches my eye from his chair, he's awake and I briefly wonder if he's been asleep at all. I pull my shirt down feeling self conscious in front of him. Eyeing him and remembering my dream instantly, I blush just sure that my cheeks are crimson. He watches me intently, and feeling self conscious I pull my shirt down as low as it will go to cover myself up.

Pacing over to the window, behind Jay, I glance at the settled snow and smile. It reminds me of a Christmas film, except ours would be one where I end up in hospital with three men. Laughing, I look down at Jay.

"What's so funny" he asks me softly, eyeing me with curiosity.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4mrBKsYiu
"Who knows, I think I'm in shock still" I laugh as I walk into the en-suite and brush my teeth. Tie my hair up with Jay’s eyes keenly watching my every move. I catch him looking at my thighs, as I pull on a pair of jeans that Matthew had brought over. He see’s me and quickly looks away. Perhaps Gilbert Scott is in shock too, I think idly as normally he would made a snide comment.

"You okay?" I ask stroking Ross’ face as he jolts awake coughing and spluttering.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc6F273ZVJ
"So fucking painful. My leg” he says almost to himself, his eyes closed as he winces.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLwHYt5hWp
"Hi, good morning" He chuckles opening his eyes and staring into my own.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMjaGYBBB
"Hi yourself, good morning" I smile back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvS2PJc5ue
"You mind if I check it out" I ask him. He grins at me cheekily and I shh him, his blonde hair ruffled, I have to admit his bed head is very cute.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2cbpNrfPn
“You really shouldn’t say stuff like that to me first thing in the morning. I’ll have no idea what you’re referring to” he laughs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YzKz84U1
“Is somebody high from painkillers” I laugh and he chuckles.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXFJmh3XOu
“Your leg” I say softly and he nods.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmmjADv9h8
"Taylor, that's fine just don't tell me about it" he laughs looking up and into my eyes.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLulQlwUpiQ
"I don't want to know just yet" he says looking at me, a look of vulnerability crossing his face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWloJId04e
I lift up the blanket gently and fold it over.
"Your bandage needs changing" I say calling for the nurse. I replace the cover back over him as the nurse comes in and advises that someone will change the bandage within the hour.

"Feel like you're doing my job for me dear, thank you" she chuckles and leaves the room swiftly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfos6SQcx5A
"Thanks for taking care of me, Tay. And for staying with me" Ross says looking at the guys in turn.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVMkI114tn
Matthew stands and heads over to me shirtless, wrapping his arms around me and sighing. Stretching out and smiling sleepily.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TI4zUwASm
"We need to let uni know that we’re not going to be in" I say softly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ1L7jGN9Q
"I emailed them last night, about the whole thing" Matty says.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4eqDHsufO
"I don't have any lectures" Jay says.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGGrhYzhIB
"So looks like you're stuck with us" I say smiling at Ross.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhufBuxVjJa
"Hey Ross do you want me to let the others know ?" Jay asks.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJoKPSlkO3
"Yeah” Ross says resigned.
"I feel like a dick for falling off" he adds stroking his hair back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE0aferxMD
"Don't worry man, it's easily done" Jay says as I double take wondering why he is being so nice. It’s not uncommon for him to rip into Ross. Or anybody really.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapKXoxhRtC
“Rachel already knows as she was at mine when Matthew called me” Jay announces, I look away from him, disguising my reaction. I had been actively encouraging him to see Rachel and really it’s not any of my business who he entertains at his place. It’s most definitely not something I should feel jealous about.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDYLUxAC2D
I smile at Ross to reassure him, deciding that escaping this little hospital room would do me good. Dreaming about Jay this morning is a rare occurrence and I blame it on the events of last night entirely. Some distance should do me well.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ONdNY1xCa
"What do you want from the shop?" I ask Ross as Matthew looks over at me.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dXhlBW2RM
"Okay if you insist please can you get me a monster can and some chocolate" Ross laughs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr7jFv1Iku
"Are you allowed monster with morphine" I say smirking.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVoIxRbjx3
"Please let me have my monster" he laughs taking my hand in his own.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbIf7XGtw
"Okay I'll ask the nurse" I chuckle.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd9qIMWSFb
"Let me get you some breakfast?" I ask Matthew and he smiles. Pulling myself away from the patient, I grab my bar out jacket and slip it on alongside my boots.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR5PilJZ7q
Matthew grasps my hand in his as we walk through the west wing together, his leather jacket on. He pushes his brunette curls back and assesses me, how he can he look completely put together after sleeping on a chair all night is beyond me. I dread to think about my makeup-less appearance.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85wMwgrXXP
"Sorry for putting you through all of this, I love you and things will go back to normal soon" I tell him stroking his hand.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqsoaZDxA
“No not at all you do not need to be sorry” he smiles stopping me and kissing me in the corridor. Putting my all into the kiss, he places his hands around me and I realise we haven’t kissed passionately since yesterday morning. It’s something we always do, and I’ve missed his lips. Entirely.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zhh39Ze64
"You all good babe" he asks smiling. He brushes his thumb over my lips as I sigh breathless.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29mqEiEzoe
“Yes, although I want to drag you into the nearest broom cupboard and you know” I laugh and he chuckles.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjrPvZvm3s
“Plan; we have breakfast. See it out today here and then I take you for food and once we get home..” he begins as I kiss him again.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAxWGE2QHB
“Taylor” he sighs pulling away as I blush whilst a few nurses walk past us chuckling.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cJ1Z0BtgW
“Think about where you would like me to take you later” he winks looking down at me and I smile happily walking next to him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPYBVKKKuv
“Ohh what about the big eight” I say and he laughs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFP3APTR8g
“You want burgers” he laughs, the big eight is a local public house that serves beer and traditional food. Big plates and delicious deserts, with a homely feel and a large open fire. I imagine us eating some comforting food by a fire and know that my heart is set on a big eight burger.
