Taylor’s POV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1wHvWswaV
“Taylor" Ross says stroking my hand, I’ve pulled his jacket over me as we walk through the suburban street past the other houses.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQOjHaWCtU
"Cars just ahead" he smiles looking down at me still crying and I begin to wonder where Jay may be.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4JdkqyEcb
"It's fine it's just Matty being a dick and well you know" he sighs.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r6WINCYKE
"What did they say while I was upstairs" I ask him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfr7KqoOlo
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61IwKBc3F
He laughs slightly and looks down at me searchingly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgetASeiVl
"You know I love you the most right" he smiles as I laugh and he strokes my hand.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz8xIczNi4
"I'm always the guy that's here" he says smiling down at me.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenQ70zgHEW
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfBM3HCEd
"Here we are" he says looking at an empty car, no lights on. It’s locked and I huff slightly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtcUMcXKLS
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yGKpndgiP
The call disconnects and I curse him. Out loud with all of my swear words and Ross scoffs at me. I redial his number.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj5esEMXnL
Thankfully the call connects this time after four rings and he waits for me to speak.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DElRZATyX
"Jay" I say almost exasperated.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvMnhcg7EQ
"It's me I'm at the car where are you" I keep it basic. I want to know what is going on.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOZj4O1cSN
"I just needed to clear my head. I'm sorry" he replies. He sounds emotional and I yearn to hold him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWdzEgrTCw
"I'm so sorry I left you there. I needed out before I did anything" he says reasoning with me.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77hz41eZM
"I'll be there in five" he adds and then hangs up abruptly as I sit back in the seat and sigh.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIahJtx2XGR
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmTttpLxLn
Ross and I sit comfortably in silence for a minute or two and I close my eyes hearing the rain patter on the windscreen.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bo9QSaePi
"I'll always be there for you. Always" Ross whispers.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrZlzRd6b
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4qeWNOMo
"We're giving Ross a lift" I say short with him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ASaVpes3
"Thanks Ross" he comments.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNT9oMhPl1
"For looking after my fiancée for me" he says putting his belt on and shooting eyes at me.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFL42g2IWy
"No probs man" Ross says looking around as I pill my belt on and huff.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBpU8gmMfI
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONtiRmr3mY
“You all good Jay?” Ross asks easing us into conversation like a therapist.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnODC3OwDEz
"Yes thanks man." Jay says quietly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq66G0HjGKq
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobYi3xp9r
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX7mzLXpns
"Ross are you gonna be okay" I say asking him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ma5FF6RTc
"Yep didn't wanna stay anyways with just Rachel there" he laughs almost awkwardly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cUkJXWC7P
"Sorry man, it's just Matty. He makes me so angry" Jay adds and I try to hold my tongue.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloEvVQugLa
"Maybe you should learn to use some self control" I say before I can shut myself up.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYVOzd6l5h
"I'm sorry I don't like seeing him with his hands all over you, it somewhat ruins my self control" Jay retaliates calmly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PjODSpYo
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcRn7iXJZo
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0TZX6z4Xs
"You know that I'm yours though so who cares what he says" I say giving in.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89saz0v4qt
"I know I know" he sighs.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SCszWnQA0
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5KQ47rh5R
"I mean fuck Jay" I exclaim, man I am angry at him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePxEsNqFqe
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7fYOeZa2c
"Ross is it the next left" I say after a while.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ddbHVPOeP
"That the one" he smiles at me. Nothing stops him, he's always just my Ross. Dependable, not phased.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp29QphYWP
"Here" I say pulling over.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87kJqwYNXK
"And thank-you again" I add slightly formally. He knows, he knows for sure and I just spilt the beans.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbrqNXTmYm
"No problem anytime" he says.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OYC1hKYq
"Oh and congratulations guys" he chuckles slightly rubbing his chin and watching me and Jay.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWx5Ars11x
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmO2Bm37fc
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQWYJWdnlB
"You're gonna be a dad, man" Ross says unbelieving clapping his back. Jay wells up and I can't contain myself.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGTE7LpzA6
"Taylor" Ross says turning to me.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhxbcTzCnQ
"I'm so happy for you" he says, no hint of jealousy.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYD3BfSxmY
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhsFwIA9Ei
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiREecNGV2m
We all look at each other and laugh standing out in the rain.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7pyXMm50
"Okay I'll let you both go" he says walking towards his door.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGURuHhjA
Once myself and Jay get back in the car I brace myself for the ride home.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrzz6NO0Ey
"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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoIDVtNdfA
"Let's get you home" he smiles.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSBJwGkH5R
“No more running out on me” I whisper looking up at him insecurely.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwPYw1kRYB
“Never I’m so sorry I just didn’t wanna hit him” he says slowly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxeU8jqAl
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.
