Taylor's POV
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8BC7Rapba
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEzjwwDPgw
“No running” he whispers.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMGK8MFXCA
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQH9We799a
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxXMLSWfad
"What's so funny" he asks me softly, eyeing me with curiosity.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQmCaZBgTa
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRcVErlbEi
"So fucking painful. My leg” he says almost to himself, his eyes closed as he winces.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsHo31WMOe
"Hi, good morning" He chuckles opening his eyes and staring into my own.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ0ms8tBrc
"Hi yourself, good morning" I smile back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PsgTDzfGw
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl29zuSDHf
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXmBFvim5j
“Is somebody high from painkillers” I laugh and he chuckles.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUXnt5KMFn
“Your leg” I say softly and he nods.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRk9BGuOdj
"Taylor, that's fine just don't tell me about it" he laughs looking up and into my eyes.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ai3LXSY5X
"I don't want to know just yet" he says looking at me, a look of vulnerability crossing his face.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39E3f3VlkU
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bGCa8udN
"Feel like you're doing my job for me dear, thank you" she chuckles and leaves the room swiftly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFzEU9QqKC
"Thanks for taking care of me, Tay. And for staying with me" Ross says looking at the guys in turn.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadVrH4QfMj
Matthew stands and heads over to me shirtless, wrapping his arms around me and sighing. Stretching out and smiling sleepily.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCAOv1vaPq
"We need to let uni know that we’re not going to be in" I say softly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO2nQI9ZsW
"I emailed them last night, about the whole thing" Matty says.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xmsv34Dlu
"I don't have any lectures" Jay says.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqVa6xmwJo
"So looks like you're stuck with us" I say smiling at Ross.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaFYOGrsnc
"Hey Ross do you want me to let the others know ?" Jay asks.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmKGitdKo
"Yeah” Ross says resigned.
"I feel like a dick for falling off" he adds stroking his hair back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KmG3D2j1L
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu7g5YOHYe
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjHlQ61Rw5
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1kAXBJKlC
"What do you want from the shop?" I ask Ross as Matthew looks over at me.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSH7dvZWX5
"Okay if you insist please can you get me a monster can and some chocolate" Ross laughs.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmnYR2BrA
"Are you allowed monster with morphine" I say smirking.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZlEMvOSC
"Please let me have my monster" he laughs taking my hand in his own.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpawKZ8iG5n
"Okay I'll ask the nurse" I chuckle.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWGHbet7LR
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZNqh714R
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9h0RndUAR
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedSErjmFIS
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliRf1suO2t
"You all good babe" he asks smiling. He brushes his thumb over my lips as I sigh breathless.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBFUTMYLyQ
“Yes, although I want to drag you into the nearest broom cupboard and you know” I laugh and he chuckles.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnnm3fK36r
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdbzl3fNbz
“Taylor” he sighs pulling away as I blush whilst a few nurses walk past us chuckling.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kO65hivnA
“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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0o6wr76M0
“Ohh what about the big eight” I say and he laughs.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnmMrVmSLW
“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.
