Taylor's POV
"I want you so much" he whispers pulling away from our kiss.
"I won't tell a soul" Jay whispers in my ear as I catch my breath. He unlocks the bathroom door watching me the entire time. I follow him out into the hall as he grasps my hand and pulls me along. Guiding me and stroking my wrist. I flinch and he stares down at me pausing.

"What happened to your wrists" he stops me facing me in the hall. I look up at the dark maroon walls and smile at him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzuw3bFD00
"He didn't hit me" I laugh as he inspects my hands.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvDHq212nB
"It was during sex" I tell him and he nods pushing his hair back. Gilbert Scott holds onto my hand as we walk downstairs together, he makes sure to keep me steady on the stairs as I nearly fall twice. I laugh and he chuckles holding onto me each time.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4tQhJcTQO
"Can't take you anywhere baby" he says.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fODOwEN3r
"Shhh" I say to him and he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIswMCnL7u
"Hey, Taylor right?" A male voice utters from my left. Jay instantly moves between the two of us, in an act of protection which shocks me more than his kiss. He's instant and impulsive.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApBpfEYfsk
"Hey" I say tentatively as the brunette boy from psych class watches Jay.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QoNj0Pr5x
"Sorry I'm unaware of your name, I know we're in psychology together though" I tell him softly as he watches my lips and then my eyes. His eyes are blue, contrasting with his warm brown hair.

"Joseph, Joseph Quinn" he replies formally and I almost imagine him shaking my hand. I smile over at him and he blushes wearing a dark brown jumper and chinos.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GUFBwi5r
"It's nice to finally speak to you" he says and I nod at him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqpfy6sMd
"If you ever need any help or a study buddy, I'm your guy" Joseph eyes me a broad grin on his face.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0XogFGKCY
"She's already got one thanks, Joe" Jay replies and I shove him laughing.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ubv3GlZdy
"Taylor you cannot just collect boyfriends" he smirks at me as I say goodbye to my new friend. He snickers and I attempt to leave without turning bright crimson.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02paOCCs8S
"Just so you know I'd happily be your boyfriend" Joseph says rather forwardly and I turn scarlet as Jay ushers me along.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs3Md3LA1s
"Seriously" he snickers as I look up at him and smirk holding onto his forearm.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTaZzpn3qt
"You have guys queuing up" he laughs as I stumble again. Jay catches me and picks me up. Holding me across his chest as he carries me down the winding stairs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ktCQseUUH
"It's better than catching you every two seconds" he laughs hugging me into his chest. Once we reach the foyer downstairs I look out at the flurrying snow and shiver in his arms.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0blYQWvmY
"Are you cold" he asks me grabbing his Armani blazer from the peg and placing it over my shoulders again. Hooking my arm around his neck he holds me and carries me all the way through to the bar. Feeling listless and ready to sleep, which is unusual for me seen as I'm usually the life of the party I rest into his chest trying to keep my eyes open.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEhVfaXCQp
"Taylor" he says and I can hear the deep rumble in his chest it rouses me and I try to keep my eye on him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNzTz5Z6Fo
"Jay I feel woozy like sleeping for the rest of my days woozy" I tell him and he stares at me alarmed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIk4BavVo5
"Taylor" he repeats concern shadowing his face. I close my eyes. Smelling his bare chest and absolutely going to metaphorical heaven.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNtNoIiRmL
"Mmm" I say kissing his chest.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMHKnMcZI
"You smell outdoorsy and delicious" I tell him feeling high. My head slumps and I vaguely feel the pain from my neck as it rocks back. My vision turns black, it's disconcerting and I begin to wonder whether I'll ever be able to see again. I cry out clutching onto him but it's like being underwater, deep in the depths where your cries cannot be heard.

Matty's POV
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P0BCnKSLt
"Move" Jay shouts at almost everybody, his tone is absolutely commanding. Glancing up over my shoulder my world goes into meltdown when I realise it's Taylor. He's holding her across his chest and her head is slumped back.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES2HuDjiuK
"What" I begin unable to find words. My brain tries to rationalise and work out what is wrong with her; could she be too drunk? Could she have been spiked? I stand absolutely unbelieving as he eyes me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6NVtQDwPt
"She blacked out" he explains setting her down on the sofa, she is lying across it her arms by her side unresponsive.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFVyARBj3u
"Dial an ambulance" Jay says to me absolutely stunned that I'm just standing there.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6IR30pSfA
"But drugs, Jay you'll be prosecuted" Rachel says protesting.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZrNllogbT
"Call an ambulance, what are you waiting for" Jay repeats, eyeing Taylor and double checking her breathing and pulse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOvKsaKCSl
"So help me God" he says frustrated, pulling the phone from my hands.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguhW7cbXNt
“I do not care” he explains exasperated as he dials for an ambulance himself.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjAIP9LUYS
“Taylor” Rhea is attempting to wake her up as I watch Jay trying to connect the dots. Rational Matthew; I think to myself. Make it all make sense.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiuRlb5Ucs
“Yes” Jay says repeating the zip code presumably to the paramedics. Jay Gilbert Scott is a large guy, strong build with muscles. Tall and broad, and so strong that when he also faints falling to the floor it causes a massive scene.

Ryan grabs his phone, looking at me in absolute disbelief as girls scream and panic, I cushion Jays fall. He mumbles, his eyes not concentrating or holding their normal intense stare.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduOA6yl4ku
“I love her” he says before he blacks out. Grabbing cushions I elevate his head as Ryan finishes the call with the medics.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmjhmDlFm
"Oh fuck, it must have been laced with something" I say as it dawns on me that the weed could have been laced with anything. Taylor and Jay smoked together and then he finished it not giving it to anybody else so it would make sense that this is the reason for their unconsciousness.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMarSZ0M3MZ
"Jay picked up from a new dealer and the new guy must have laced the weed with some other hard drug" I explain to Rhea as she stares at me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvq4dGuXCA
"It's been laced with PCP. I think. It's a hallucinogen" Ryan explains.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidwMV7k0av
“That’s what the ambulance team said” he adds concerned.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6Ofz4TaC
I wipe my face and look up at Rhea who is also holding onto Taylor, checking her pulse on her neck.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMX5Q0fcFo
“She is so cold Matthew” she explains freaking out.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3czGKPcQ4F
Holding onto her hand, I tell Taylor that I love her, I rub her waist. And I kiss her on her cheek. I talk to her about our life, and the way she makes me feel happy all of the time. I wrap Jay’s blazer around her buttoning it up even though it is huge on her slender frame.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6JwDCymLQ
“The door” Rachel announces running to get it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluwIKTrNcE
The medics rush in as I stand back, Rhea puts her arm on my shoulder as I pull myself away from barraging them with questions.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBMq2Dq9MK
“I’m with her” I say to a male paramedic he nods and instructs me to ride in the ambulance alongside Taylor and Jay. My fiancée and best friend.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2Q5X92Uu
“I should have been more observant” I say in shock as Rhea follows me out to the ambulance, pulling on a leather jacket and chucking mine at me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfswJckks7A
“She could be” I whisper stunned. Rhea looks at me gobsmacked, and I cry again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22iEqj9eq
“What if…” I say.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2yBBDNNv
“What if she is pregnant?” I say to her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHPoZiCST8
“Matthew, it will be fine” she says to me softly practically pushing me into the ambulance before the doors close, the sirens go off and we are hurtling through the streets of snowy California.
