***Jays POV***
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyuYst0Ga8F
I did say I wouldn't be fighting anybody.
I did say I wouldn't lay my hands on anybody. Of course I meant to keep to that, however when you literally break my girls wrist, I have to break your face.

"Jay it will be fine" she reassures me in the cab. It's inconceivable that she is reassuring me. Genuinely it is. I turn to face her and smile reassuringly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANADVWiorXilv
"Let me see it" I say delicately.
"Of course it will be fine, I will make sure of it" I say to her looking at her wrist and how it's doubled in size.

He was bleeding, his nose looked busted. Which is the least I could do for him, all things considered.
I'm not sure if he's heading to the hospital, I don't give a shit. Unimaginable, how anybody could do that to a girl. He won't be at the same hospital as us, I'm taking her to the best hospital, right near the lake house where all the "wealthy" people go.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAMOqG9hC98Z
I'm desperate to get it checked out, looking at her face and how she's holding back the tears is making me angrier and angrier. To the point where I may have to hunt him down and finish off the job I started.

I gently pull her into my chest and she rests there breathing softly and holding her wrist away from her body. I'm pretty sure its fractured and not broken. Nothing is protruding, it just looks swollen and bruised. I stroke her hair back and I can feel her sobbing against me.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAdFIvxJRkQx
"Jay my fingers hurt and I can't move them" she says panicked.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyTZXTLHSXP
"Okay babe let's see what they say at the hospital, I promise it will be okay. I am here. I'm so sorry I didn't intervene sooner" I say to her. I continue stroking her hair and holding her. Eventually we are on the road I recognise, from taking mum to the hospital. I banish that thought now. Focus on the situation at hand.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQRZ48w0wrv
"This is a private hospital" I say and we pull up to the main door. I help her out and thank the cab driver. It's funny how I'm almost sober. I haven't had a lot to drink tonight, I wanted to stay alert. Any drunkenness that I felt has vanished in the drama of this situation.

She nods and we walk in, it's not busy like most hospitals and she looks shocked. I walk her straight up to the desk, the receptionist team are friendly. The lady eyes her arm and suggests pain relief to begin with which Taylor smiles at. We get taken straight into a booth with a wraparound curtain, no waiting in reception for us. Taylor has taken some pain relief administered by the nurse and she's laying down. I'm sitting in the chair next to the bed thinking about smashing his face in, again.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJVaiFm1OYr
"Did he ever touch you like that, before" I ask softly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANACaIFABVz1m
"Honestly no" she says after a pause. And I breathe out a little.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAphAgODCGLc
The doctor comes by and informs us that he will need to x-ray it and then go from there. He asks Taylor how it's feeling and she smiles saying that since the morphine it feels all better.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA10ONQNc7f0
"How did it happen?" He asks subtly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAHbpx6TyBL3
"There was a misunderstanding at the party, another student wanted to talk to me and he held my arm in place I yanked when he pulled and then there was pain." She says.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGhsIHRTNSK
"Okay I understand it's most likely a hairline fracture but considering the swelling I'm suspecting there may be a little more to it" he evaluates. He scurries out of the room and she turns to me.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAM5RRNr0vTX
"Jay I'm not holding anything against you for hitting Tom. Even though before I've been pretty vocal about you fighting. I figure he broke my wrist and he's a dick so it's fair" she laughs.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA7NjvWSYS57
"I like you on morphine" I smile.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGVkUHjwgdI
"Me too" she chuckles laughing.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAkhBl6D7w59
"It will be fine honestly, this hospital is amazing and they will have it sorted and then we can go home and I will comfort you all night long" I sigh.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAt5TPjJ8roB
"I love you" she says looking over at me. And for some reason I am compelled to stand up. I go over to her, kiss her delicately.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAehevKfG8E6
"I love you too" I say honestly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAngXFFVg9aV
I stroke her hair, and her arm lightly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbDtJZZbt7S
"It's just your arm he hurt, not anywhere else?" I ask glancing at her.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAeOOqexVeWH
"Yes just my wrist" she says hazily looking like she's going to fall asleep.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlG0Z1rZgqA
"Hey try and stay awake just for a bit longer they need to scan you" I say softly.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZSnhtUBEQr
"My love" I brush her hair back.
73Please respect copyright.PENANApWbKhr24b4
"Hmm" she sighs.
73Please respect copyright.PENANANMcGohW6ZO
"Stay awake" I instruct.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAaCTDyTNUue
"Okay babe" she closes her eyes
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtkvnXGtgHe
"No silly" I say kissing her lips.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVlNaHAH90D
"Open your eyes" I say and she looks into mine.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVgUWNQmISV
"Jay you're perfect in every way" she comments hazily.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGgDTMWZYo8
"Me? you're the perfect one" I comment and she laughs her eyes lighting up.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAEQpIrFGtaL
"Taylor Harris" a doctor says entering the room and I step aside. I recognise that voice.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hdycpqttl
"Yes that's me" she says.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2g1E1zfzmK
"Fantastic we're going to x-ray you now if that's okay?" He asks glancing at her. He's an older man with greying hair and dark rimmed glasses.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAuqaKcpdAzF
"Of course" she sighs and he smiles at her.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAjcfQPmnkS9
"We'll be back in just a minute Mr Scott" the doctor says to me and I smile at him. I couldn’t be sure before but now I remember him entirely.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAIaNmst0h4T
"How is your mum?" Dr forester asks and I laugh.
73Please respect copyright.PENANASs62IXX4gt
"Yes, very well thank you" I reply.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmXSG1gH1me
"Nice to see you, you're a young man now" he comments laughing and I see Taylor gaping at us.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA01DQV07FMO
"Yes" I say smiling.
"Take good care of this one for me" I smile at him.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAb9qIxu4fzR
"Of course we will be back in no time" Forester says and then they leave the room.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAB9IS5DL3Kr
Dr Forester was my mums main doctor throughout all of her multiple pregnancies, he is the closest thing we have to a family doctor. Forester used to give me sweets and lollipops when I had my shots, and he took care of me on all of the instances whereby I had to be rushed into hospital because I broke something or fell over. I admire him and I relax in my chair now that I know he is looking after Taylor.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAHstf8eBuip
While she is gone, I briefly consider whether if and when we conceive a baby, we will come and see Dr Forester together. I am thinking ahead, I’m trying to rein in my enthusiasm on the family planning side of our relationship. However looking at her, and the mere possibility that one of the times we’ve had unprotected sex means we get pregnant excites me, much more than it seemingly appeals to her.
73Please respect copyright.PENANAIycAfxrqGZ
The past is definitely a factor for her, going through a miscarriage is one of the most painful experiences a couple can face. I haven’t felt that pain but I sure have witnessed it through my own parents. I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t put myself through that, I was sure that I didn’t want a women of whom I loved to ever experience that kind of pain because of me.
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9SGpsVwisO
I now feel like my heart is racing ahead, ignoring any logic or reason. Chasing that dream, the one where we have a tiny version of ourselves. And however long off that might be, I’m already ready for it.
