Taylor’s POV
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwrmI3QAJ
“Taylor" Ross says stroking my hand, I’ve pulled his jacket over me as we walk through the suburban street past the other houses.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJflILdvN2Y
"Cars just ahead" he smiles looking down at me still crying and I begin to wonder where Jay may be.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYEayI6j5Q
"It's fine it's just Matty being a dick and well you know" he sighs.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0bL5Rc5Bl
"What did they say while I was upstairs" I ask him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wRpARLqUv
"They argued about the kiss. Matty insists that he loves you, that he can love you more than Jay all that kinda crap" Ross says.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sm5MD71zG
He laughs slightly and looks down at me searchingly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4YbPaJMUn
"You know I love you the most right" he smiles as I laugh and he strokes my hand.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8svoscEXj
"I'm always the guy that's here" he says smiling down at me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddmuEWHCX4
"Thank you Ross I don't know where I would be without you" I say and I glance up at him seeing the want and need in his eyes.
I look away quickly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2kcA4PqHl
"Here we are" he says looking at an empty car, no lights on. It’s locked and I huff slightly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E6aU0MsKW
"Let me just call him" I say worried as I pull my phone out of my purse and hear the dial tone. Realising I kept the car keys in my purse I clap my hands and hand them to Ross who opens up the car. I swoop into the drivers side and wait for the call to connect. Two more rings and still no answer.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pyppV9F7x
The call disconnects and I curse him. Out loud with all of my swear words and Ross scoffs at me. I redial his number.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ya0LyzoO
Thankfully the call connects this time after four rings and he waits for me to speak.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z0i1r6FRJ
"Jay" I say almost exasperated.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCle0Jfqar
"It's me I'm at the car where are you" I keep it basic. I want to know what is going on.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFo54ZKFkM
"I just needed to clear my head. I'm sorry" he replies. He sounds emotional and I yearn to hold him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD8oe1J7hd
"I'm so sorry I left you there. I needed out before I did anything" he says reasoning with me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmT5vOvA0J
"I'll be there in five" he adds and then hangs up abruptly as I sit back in the seat and sigh.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ5dicbayc
"Five mins" I say to Ross ready for this all to be over. Wanting my bed, still slightly annoyed at Rach but more than that myself and how I let it go too far.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkjFGoXmKR
Ross and I sit comfortably in silence for a minute or two and I close my eyes hearing the rain patter on the windscreen.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyWtQm4cfD
"I'll always be there for you. Always" Ross whispers.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1skwovD4v
"I know and I'll always be grateful" I say eyes still closed. I hear a tap on the window and jump out of my skin, greeted by the image of Jay before I unlock the doors.
Jay in the rain hair pushed back and top still off is a picture. He looks undeniably wonderful yet my mind wants to wrap him up in a soft fluffy towel to prevent him for getting a cold. He climbs in the back.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO2RmOBt2P
"We're giving Ross a lift" I say short with him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolB6O6anLO
"Thanks Ross" he comments.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCYjqNDJe
"For looking after my fiancée for me" he says putting his belt on and shooting eyes at me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a29bHYVLG
"No probs man" Ross says looking around as I pill my belt on and huff.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tmKbkYZ37
"You good?" He adds eyeing me. Ross is worried about me driving annoyed, however I nod to him starting the car and pulling out into the night. I'm sober. I turn the radio up and head to Ross', I know my way from Matthew’s to anywhere.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eq9Pbs7HI
“You all good Jay?” Ross asks easing us into conversation like a therapist.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknPoIv8oqA
"Yes thanks man." Jay says quietly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqxQZGAMq6
"Taylor" he begins ignoring Ross and his attempts at conversation. The problem is my anger and frustration is high, not just at him running off but at myself. At my idiocy. At the conflicted emotions running through me and my hormones intensifying the lot.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiJes3mNy8
"Not now" I say instead turning the radio up again, intending on ignoring him. My emotions have switched from worry to anger. How dare he leave me? He’s my fiancée and I’m holding his future.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd8J2W99Lw
"Ross are you gonna be okay" I say asking him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEnWkRo2Na
"Yep didn't wanna stay anyways with just Rachel there" he laughs almost awkwardly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0S2cmdXgg
"Sorry man, it's just Matty. He makes me so angry" Jay adds and I try to hold my tongue.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRPuclGckI
"Maybe you should learn to use some self control" I say before I can shut myself up.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgZfaokpz7
"I'm sorry I don't like seeing him with his hands all over you, it somewhat ruins my self control" Jay retaliates calmly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAG20FpX17
"Doesn't mean you have to slam him against a wall" I say and we're arguing in front of Ross, music blaring as I enter the highway.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01dcciC4Zc
"He said he loves you Taylor" he says and I swallow instead turning the music up so I can't hear him. Some silly 90s rock group are playing and I focus on it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k1f94wx09
"You know that I'm yours though so who cares what he says" I say giving in.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mg3GUYHCX
"I know I know" he sighs.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9XifcJCK6
"Do you see me pushing Rach against a wall because she kissed you- you two have history" I say because I can't help myself.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JNNoj6GrG
"I mean fuck Jay" I exclaim, man I am angry at him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr6E6jZzPv
"I literally have your everything. I'm carrying your" I stop short remembering Ross sitting next to me.
I clear my throat and focus on the road. Willing myself not to look in the mirror at him sitting in the back of his own car because I'm so angry with him. Ross gazes out of the window suppressing his shock and amazement.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ihANSBt51
"Ross is it the next left" I say after a while.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmjg2EOnPq
"That the one" he smiles at me. Nothing stops him, he's always just my Ross. Dependable, not phased.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdDobNUlx3
"Here" I say pulling over.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhmxO6dgPL
"And thank-you again" I add slightly formally. He knows, he knows for sure and I just spilt the beans.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7in22xZhqb
"No problem anytime" he says.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡackaFBrMLw
"Oh and congratulations guys" he chuckles slightly rubbing his chin and watching me and Jay.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7lTqx6eKT
I hide my grin and Jay gets out of the back. He walks around and hugs Ross. It takes me a few minutes to realise that Jay is crying, happy tears. I wipe my eyes and Ross eyes me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBuSalpwMn
"Thanks man" Jay smiles and it's the first time I’ve seen them hug.
The rain pounds down and soaks through my dress but I no longer care.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGGQ8Xdg7l
"You're gonna be a dad, man" Ross says unbelieving clapping his back. Jay wells up and I can't contain myself.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJJXUdAQSl
"Taylor" Ross says turning to me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnK7MlM9M1
"I'm so happy for you" he says, no hint of jealousy.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi2Gxg74ed
"Thank you that means a lot, just please keep it to yourself it's early stages" I say smiling as he engulfs me in a hug.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk45MtVahFK
"Of course, you look so well. Not that you don't always but you're literally glowing and I thought nothing of it until now" he laughs.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIFXZNiW9u
We all look at each other and laugh standing out in the rain.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtVAO5kPSb
"Okay I'll let you both go" he says walking towards his door.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3sMOnscNh
Once myself and Jay get back in the car I brace myself for the ride home.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJjvBXKx7
"I can drive, I'm sober I had one Taylor" he smiles at me. He places his arms around me and I don’t fight him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCU4BeEARo
"Let's get you home" he smiles.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSFPTDjmif
“No more running out on me” I whisper looking up at him insecurely.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdUhLQU8s
“Never I’m so sorry I just didn’t wanna hit him” he says slowly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcdx3ZSOqh
I head over to the passenger door climb in and sink into my normal heated seat. He starts the car and I consider going to sleep on the way home.
