I sway on my own, missing Jays arms around me. Feeling his breath on my cheek. I look over at Rach, she's dancing with Nate and looking out warily. I turn my gaze to who she is watching and I see Ross approaching me. She's aware, of us. Since I told her that I kissed him, she's been watching the situation unfold. And just as she is about to intercept him. I smile at her. I'm grateful for her looking out for me, but all will be okay. Ross is my best friend, it is prom. We can dance. Only dance.

"Rach is aware of what happened" I whisper to him as he embraces me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtmkVR4Y1
"I told her that I kissed you" I say softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFyO28lPiB
"Ah right" he says softly in my ear. My body melts and we just sway together.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrR0Hz2G1Q
His hands hold my lower back and I rest in his chest.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDG25dzj2
"Why did you tell her" he whispers.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSlDxkB52c
I look back at him confused.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJI5oEt6i8
"I told her because she could sense there was something going on between me and Jay. I told her that we were hugging and that you needed me." I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuRHGT54nx
"I need you all the time" he chuckles.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBaenVbZCk
I smile at him. A slow song comes on and he pulls me closer still. I can feel his chest and his abs. Jay returns and he asks Rachel for a dance. She accepts slightly taken back, and I smile.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWeo1ueE8a
Ross holds onto me as if I'm going to disappear, his hands stroking my back. I look up at him, his true blue eyes holding nothing but love.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrb9koi9C0
"You have to share me, Matty is getting awkward on his own" I whisper looking at him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROFY38ho4x
"One more song" he says softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqZJSpIaVr
I sigh and rest my head back down, smiling into his chest.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghpgA5WTLs
"You look wonderful" he whispers.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc60yc18qF
"Truly wonderful" he repeats.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBI2bOqfXn
"Hey you don't look too bad yourself" I chuckle.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit2K4rU5SN
"I'm sorry about Kat" I say softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ex979ehaX
"Don't be. I had already predicted it would happen. Part of me knows that any girl I get with will sense you and the connection that I have with you" he says.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpTYN7GfOi
"That's why I'm so sorry" I say looking up at him with tears prickling at my eyes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdWQ6UKOm6
"No seriously that was a stupid thing for me to say." He says pushing his hair back out of the way.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME3IZOPSOp
"Okay I value you more than any of that" he sighs.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuzCZpynsj
"What we have, even like this, is perfect for me" he says.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVQyzGt5a5
I glance over at Rach who is growing concerned. I sigh.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFn0g3vPqj
"Let's just dance" I say to him and he smiles.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3JbqrfhJ5
We stay in each other's arms, me rocking against his hips. He hugs me as the song is ending. Just purely holding onto me and I yield to him. When he lets me go he smiles.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNAZ8rKUS
"Go on then, even though I want to hold you all night long" he whispers.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQXLFGU4ie
He asks Rachel to dance next and both Jay and Matty go for me. Jay chuckles and indicates Matty can take this dance.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HD7mSDpK
"I'm just going to smoke" he whispers in my ear.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSaFhjQepp
I nod to him and kiss his lips briefly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1miozpI7u
Matthew is altogether different. He holds me on my waist lightly and his hands reach around to my back. We're quiet, I'm focusing on his touch. I look up into his eyes briefly and try to stop myself from blushing. He still has that intense stare, holding onto my eye contact. I look down again, rest my head on his chest. I feel him exhale.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNDjKaHobC
It's a slow song, again. Not one that I recognise, an old song. He begins softly singing along in my ear, and I relax into him. His singing voice is low, and enchanting. I've not heard it hardly ever before. I savour it.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiux2RLJop
"Tay" he says breaking his tune.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDMVfEUJOr
"Yes" I say looking at him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK2sfOB9GJ
"Are you okay? I just have to know that you are happy?" He asks softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAG9fmbzJI
"Yes I'm happy" I say to him snuggling back into his chest. I feel him inhale sharply and realise I should probably dial down the affection. Hormones.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O3kjzIWQt
"Are you happy" I ask him. What a stupid question to ask somebody who just attempted to take their own life. I chastise myself for being so insensitive.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFRLrynSci
"Right now, I'm happy with you" he says simply.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC8lNkO8cG
"With you in my arms" he says gazing down at me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ICBqnvB3G
We just dance for a while longer. His hands on me keeping me close.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzSNg3U0Qr
"What's going on by the way" he chuckles softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXVk2dEzup
"Is it that noticeable" I laugh.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVcYxIFaIp
"With Rachel shooting daggers at Ross anytime he comes close to you, yes it is" he laughs.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGqU8bacQT
"When you were in hospital, Ross was upset. I hugged him. And I just meant to comfort him. He told me he needed me so I kissed him." I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilFdcBKojJ
"It's my own fault" I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFveua3nOz
"Jay knows?" He looks at me intently.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8f9GYmISh
"Yes he knows." I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkfiGBeJiR
"Well I'll be damned" he says in disbelief.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN3RRndMpN
"Sorry" he smiles.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGM5aXZO9
"It's just I've known Jay for years, and that's not something he would ever..." he begins.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHT0NWeKEQ
"Forgive" I say finishing his sentence. He nods thoughtfully. Talking to Matty is like having a conversation with myself, we think alike. He takes time to listen and then he responds, he's calm. He makes me calm.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlLCzTvey
"So Rachel is just trying to avoid any more drama" I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoy39z9jVN
"Which is not going to happen, seen as I've already screamed at Ross' date" I laugh.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp91JGVIq14
"She deserved it." He says.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4fDG81xi1
"Seriously" he laughs looking at my quizzical expression.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQmhlbPXFQ
He sways with me for a while longer and eventually goes back to humming in my ear.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdATZkf7GF6
"You saved his life. That's bound to leave a mark on anybody" he comments.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcclw5c7W6b
"He's kept me sane, he's helped me through my difficulties and he's always stood up for me. He has saved me over and over. And I shouldn't kiss him and I shouldn't shout at his prom date and I really should not lead him on. I'm engaged and..." I say getting myself worked up.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9YAb5S1WI
"He knows and he's aware of that, you told me he guessed." Matty says hushing me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9t22qPoQs
"He did yes" I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7FsVD3AOi
"So don't beat yourself up." He says softly and I look into his eyes. He's soft, patient and he has always helped me to talk through things.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQI1UczkY
"I'm happy for you, I love you with everything that I have but I'm happy for you all the same" he says hands on my back.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr495b6N0q
"Thankyou Matthew" I say.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJNWewzYpL
He holds my stare and I hold his eye contact.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E3codDQ3R
"Imagine, our child would be born by now." He says and it takes me completely off guard. He isn't being malicious. He isn't trying to make me upset, he's just reminiscing.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KTFFAtWZV
"I can still see it all, you and me at prom together. Kim looking after the baby. He would have had your eyes" he smiles looking down at me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LF0Z5vIST
"We wanted that so so much" I smile and we're having a healthy conversation about our loss together.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlRBlUXaPi
"Little baby" I say smiling and I run my hand subconsciously over my tummy. He watches the gesture and he smiles.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrikWiOBmc
"How far along are you" he asks softly, he pushes his brunette curls back. I miss the gesture he did it all the time when we were together.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjUj9GMB7
"Just over 6 weeks" I say watching his green eyes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OU6w4DNB
He smiles and rubs my back a little.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA85Z0dSwi
"I miss you so much" he says.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPjPONbWJv
"Like to the point of just going to sleep at night is still so difficult. And waking up, having the reason to be happy when I get up isn't there anymore" he says holding me close to his body.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyMUWTqpTF
"But I'm still here for you. I've not gone." I say conscious of what just almost happened. I can't let him feel isolated.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0LvYxYNQ6
"I'll always be here Matty" I say softly in his ear. I stroke his face with my hands and lightly kiss him on his cheek.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPoglhMBrm
"I do love you" he whispers almost to himself.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbnLJX0rDw
I wipe my eyes. His head snaps up and he smiles at Jay approaching.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkcdF0k24o
"All yours" he says to him, as he passes me back. Jay smiles at him and takes me in his arms. I am terribly lucky to have these hot gorgeous men hugging and holding me all night long.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0mX6pR2ir
"You smell nice" I say snuggling close into Jays chest.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1jx8QafJ
"I went and got spray to take away the cigarette smell" he sighs.
"I've throughly washed my hands too" he says looking at me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVs1e58OLk
"Jay you can have a cigarette and not feel guilty" I remind him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6rkN41f1t
We stay in each other's arms. He rubs my back lightly, occasionally pushing my hair back behind my shoulder. Kissing my neck softly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbm6FyaVrv
"Mmm" I say as the music picks up again.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFXPpstRnR
"Taylor" he whispers as I sway my hips into him. Just grinding on him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AIkTHfSxC
"Are you trying to make me take you aside and do you against a wall" he says in my ear.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxByrrUEycz
"Yes" I say back and he smiles.
