Tom and I are in the same room, this could be icky. He does look different, and that's why I didn't recognise him. Somehow he looks more grown up. I'm sure he's still the same boy-ish guitar playing lad he always was. His hair is shorter, and as I glance up quickly I know he's recognised me. I'm sure that I look different too, I can tell this by watching the way his eyes widen.

Tom was my high school sweetheart, we dated off and on. We ended things sourly. And if I remember correctly the last contact I had with him was Matty answering my phone and telling him to leave me alone.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgMtVpANDv
Tom actively ended our relationship however with his actions, he started seeing another girl and that did it for me. That was my last straw. I sigh and glance at Jay. Looking at him after laying eyes on Tom, I realise that Jay is exquisite. His eyes sparkle when he looks at me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq2a2y1EW4
"So Tom huh?" He smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo64OJkQXwC
"Yeah, a long time ago. Before everything." I tell him in his ear.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpKuyuDQ8C
"He's standing behind us, far wall, 8 o'clock" I say indicating where he is to Jay.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbis1AfnWAP
"What did he possibly do to lose a beautiful person like you?" He sighs after briefly looking over his shoulder. Jay does not care that Tom regards him back. Jay is the epitome of an alpha male, he outranks most guys if not all of them.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMieTm77AgM
"He lost me because he started seeing somebody else at the same time, as me." I say flatly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNrulIJRkC
"The last time I had contact with him, Matty basically told him to fuck off" I say to Jay and he scoffs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMFDvciMaI
"Firstly" he says softly.
"I'm glad you recognised your worth and left him, what an idiot. Having you and not seeing how special you are" he sighs.
"And secondly, trust Matty to be telling other guys to fuck off" he laughs and I giggle.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv9o0ukXzK
"Yeah so I'd rather not repeat the whole fuck off away from Taylor shit, that's happened before" I smile and he chuckles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5bc89aGGj
"I won't say a damn thing. I know Taylor that you have got your own back. I'm just here for support. I mean playing games like that with guys like Josh that's ballsy" he sighs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaokEAr3CAC
"Yes he needs to be taken down a peg or two" I say.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpNTPOIXdq
"The whole look at me I'm a sports student shit and the jersey" I roll my eyes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPw5OgWQmM
"Typical right, just like politics majors always getting what they want" he smiles down at me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAlzEgXwP9
"Yes just like them too" I laugh and kiss him. He extends the kiss and I let him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRzuaTwhm6
"You got all that you wanted?" I whisper whilst he lets me take a breath.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeas2VOrwuU
"Yes and more" he says smiling at me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxP8a5Lln0
"I think when we were here before, and not together" he adds.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqciO9vuUv
"I spent the entire time watching you." He sighs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vnAjiEJm1
"Trying to catch moments with you" he laughs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyUojuq2Fc
"I know we made out in the bathroom, and that was pretty intense." I laugh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5uZ1crjgp
He chuckles and his hands tighten around my waist.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNB4k91iZ3
After a minute I break our comfortable silence.
"My head can never be turned Jay, I want you to be sure of that. I get what you were saying earlier about Josh and how you freaked out, but honestly I'm in love with you. And I mean it when I say that I can't be taken by anybody else" I say looking into his eyes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y3WN984JE
He looks at me earnestly, sighs and shakes his head.
"That means everything" he says and kisses me again. His hand comes around to my waist lingers slightly and then reaches up to my cheek stroking me lightly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbHwZWKpx8
"Taylor I don't see anybody else in my future other than us" he whispers and glances down at my tummy briefly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRc0miFxkR
"And I can tell you I'm going to be taking you home soon, to our house and laying you down on our bed and making love to you hard all night long" he whispers in my ear and I swallow thinking about it.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG4oFPs9L6
"Mmm" I say biting my lip.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW23bg3P4My
"Don't make that noise here, fuck" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7ktt8xL8
"Well don't turn me on so much in public" I retort stroking his face with my hand.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nH1IiS41B
"You two are such fucking love birds" Rach says breaking me out of my bubble.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSfyeNz27X
Jay doesn't even stop looking at me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI6kfefTZ1
"Have you had a nice night Rach" I ask sweetly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH2baR9q9h
"No don't say that, it means you're leaving soon" she sighs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtDTkswyrP
"My fault" Jay says
"I want to take her home" he adds smiling.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Mys3423y
"We should get going soon too" Nate laughs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjvJ9OZHDp
"Oh not you too" Rach laughs.
"Matty, Ross" Rach calls over the room.
"You best not be flaking out on me too" she says and they come over to our group.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKcZ532l91
"Ross darling" she says drunkenly and I wince at his sour expression.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu683tiBwe
"You need a dance" she says breaking away from Nate who laughs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCuIkRzcTr
"All yours dude" he sighs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67NCdCBBKB
I can feel Jay's hands on my waist and I rest my head in his neck. I glance around the room, and it's all a haze to me. On the far wall I make out Justin, standing leaning against the wall with his beer. I smile at him as I catch his eye. He smiles back and then goes back to talking to some guys.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxDL26o6wq
"Can I save Ross?" I whisper to Jay.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDSXHZu6yb
"Of course I'll call a cab" he says kissing me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jCMYEvh3U
"My go Rach." I say laughing. Ross sighs smiling at me, Rach seeks out her next target. It happens to be Ryan. At one point I thought that they would make a good couple.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCktl81VOZ
Ross takes me in his arms. It's a slow song and I rest against him.
"Have you had a good time" he says in my ear.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLajtreEAQz
"Yep" I say laughing against his chest.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMi7NwSPZP
"Have you" I say glancing up at him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1tO8l1mZp
"Of course. You being here makes my night Taylor" he says softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwkXys6ER4
"Ross" I say slowly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFBiXgq0V0
"Shhh" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wTxG9551N
"I think you ought to say goodbye to Matty too seen as he's done nothing but watch you all night, I mean I don't blame him" he chuckles looking down at me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zt5WMM6y3
"Oh but I don't ever want to let you go" he smiles. Looking down at me deliberating.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemDQ4CIurM
"Love you" he whispers and then leaves me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndVPGgLEG
Im not sure it is a good idea dancing with Matty.
Just as I'm pondering that he's there in front of me and I walk right into his arms.
"Taylor" he says and I shiver.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzMs3NLDk6
"Oh Matty, Toms here" I say remembering that he has briefly met him, and told him to fuck off.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPvvD4kot
"No way" he says in my ear.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKDMQug5DZ
"Way" I say back.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aemY14aUy
He chuckles and strokes my hair back.
"I didn't get to hear you sing" he says softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPRM29v8n
"Next time" I laugh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHmG7NVWZS
"Next time?" He sighs and his hands go to the small of my back rubbing me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ6bwPxEnB
"Next time." I tell him softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc8N8gRtmV
"I can't wait" he says.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApDlye4oA3
"I read your messages, I get what you're saying. I understand and I don't want you to feel upset and let down by me" I whisper.
"I loved you" I whisper.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBSk1G6fYM
"Difference is I love you still baby" he says and I sigh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl8N2lz6nR
I move back slightly. Out of his arms and personal space.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj32YuFVVy
"Goodnight Matty" I say. I give him one more hug and then I walk away.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl2svpvPYK
I spot Jay talking to Malachi and head over to them when I feel a hand on my arm. I swing around.
"Tay" his voice utters.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA2gGv4t9Z
"Tom" I say flatly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sThJ43HNP
"You look stunning" he says and I almost laugh in his face. I don't, however tempting that might be.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEb7LctkID
"I'm leaving" I say and he bulks at my coldness.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIazf3H0ifQ
"I'm just talking to you" he says and he yanks at my arm. Searing pain is replaced by anger.
"Jeez we used to be together and you're the problem the one that wanted to just run off" he adds.
"And give up on us" he says, is he for real?
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nNvxN0I6
"And I'm done, goodbye" I say watching Tom, his grip loosens on me as he eyes somebody behind me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZPX538c9Y
"Girl wants to leave, you heard her" Josh says. I swallow and look at him shocked.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlePRmo3uie
"Taylor you're a heartless bitch" Tom comments pushing my hand down aggressively.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINhkRTaNdd
Swiftly Joshua Morelli has him pinned against the wall. I feel Jay rush over, demanding to know what happened in my ear and checking my body for any clues. I'm still processing, I didn't realise he hated me with such venom. Tom is spiteful and bitter.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpv6MLvhwN
"Pardon? No way to talk to a women" I hear Joshua saying.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByjqRFjjTW
He shoves him hard against the wall and let's him go.
"I think you should leave" he adds.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi2M9aNWVN
"Tay, are you okay?" Jay asks and I look up at him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LC61noV2j
"Yes can we go?" I ask.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXRGwb4VC
Tom saunters off. And I'm glad to see the back of him.
"Thanks" I say weakly.
"I think he sprained my wrist" I say shocked looking down at my bruised wrist.
"When it happened I couldn't feel it but I sure can now" I say and a tear escapes my eye.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOQsn596lM
Jay pursues him instantly, losing his cool completely. I see him grab him from afar and I rush over. The commotion attracts everybody's attention, without any hesitation Jay smacks him with his fist across his face.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0QFPC1YiQ
Josh rushes in and pulls Jay back and Ross drags Tom in the other direction.
"Enough" I hear Josh say.
"Not worth your time" Josh reiterates.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwXQwPFJCQ
Jay shrugs Josh off and I'm sure I hear him thank him.
He comes straight over to me shaking off his wrist which he just used on Tom's face. He inspects my wrist, and I wince.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhm1eYqLaF
"It's fractured" he says.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlhMEvMrOZ
"It's because I was pulling and he yanked me back" I say.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lxJxjk4FQ
"Fucking asshole" he says.
"Let's get it checked out" he says to me watching me closely and we leave swiftly.
I nod to Josh and he pulls me in for a hug before I pursue after Jay, my man on a mission.
