Taylor's POV
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPsfPMYx7p
"Are you fucking crazy" I say looking from Jay to Jane in shock.

"That's a no from me I'm calling the police" Joshua says grabbing for his phone. He looks at me assessing how I'm going the react. I nod to him and he dials for the cops.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRWCs1Oir
"I didn't mean it" I hear Jane squeak and I block her out before I hit her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKqh86mfFw
I grab my phone and dial for an ambulance, right away. Jay has fallen, I couldn't keep him upright. So Ross and Matty are busy hauling him to the sofa.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvk60M5KWq
"Jay" I say kneeling in front of him.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisxVg5Y9ud
"Can you hear me" I ask softly stroking his face waiting for the operator to pick up my call.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K0SLS7YBW
"There's a piece of glass" I say completely beside myself to Ross.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6KkYmPfd0
I cry looking at the side of Jays head where the bottle broke on him. And the blood and cuts, the glass protruding just above his ear. It's not deep but it's still in his head and I'm freaking out.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeE1HqlV8y
"Hi, I need an ambulance. My fiancée, he's been hit on the head and he's blacked out" I say in a heightened voice.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CW2cNumkg
"Glass. Yes. Cuts on his head. What do I do" I say.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrWyCy49l5
"Jay man wake up" I hear Matty saying gently trying to stir him.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaivUoupF6C
I nod and shake my head almost uncomprehending and repeating the words yes and I understand to the call operator. They inform me that an ambulance will be there in two minutes. They keep me on the line just in case.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPisZXIWkqY
I don't remember the rest of the call. Not even a little bit of it. The next thing I know is that they're paramedics and a stretcher and I'm literally crying my eyes out.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7sfwPG7l
"I need to go with him" I say to Ross.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vWge5yOcc
"I know Taylor" he says softly and his arms link around me for comfort.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MXZhPvw29
"Only one person in the ambulance" the paramedic says.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkoGgyTD30
"I'm his fiancée" I declare and I turn to Ross just before I hop in.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbJS63AFfX
I kiss him on the cheek and he hugs me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6u3ODcQqN
"Right behind you" he whispers in my ear.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0c52gqH2V
I jump in the ambulance and take a seat next to Jays stretcher. I buckle up and we are moving, lights and sirens on.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuA3oE9CE9
"Jay" I whisper and I rest my hand on his heart. Feeling it beating.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnriJTdpsU
"I love you so much, this is my fault I'm so sorry" I say.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXaKEkKUJ
"If I hadn't incited her" I say frustrated.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTjF1MXEOJ
Within minutes racing through town the doors open on the back of the ambulance and light streams through from the street lamps outside of the hospital. Jay and the stretcher are rushed through ER. I find myself running to catch up with them.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4hucoJABO
Jay is seen straight away, there's lots and lots of doctors. A nurse sits me down in a waiting room, telling me that it will be okay and that I must wait.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSEwjjhY0K
I do as I'm told. I wait, grabbing at my phone and texting Ross. I look at the sign on the wall, it reads Westcroft wing. So I message him the name and wait for him to turn up. I put my phone in my small clutch bag and rest my head in my hands.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPEDx9NCB
Luckily we're at a private hospital, Jay has a hefty health insurance cover for both of us. So in this hospital I'm sitting alone, not in a busy waiting room. I sob heavily into my hands.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wEJBmY9Gd
"Taylor" I hear Ross say softly. I look up and Matty and Ross are in the doorway. Rach follows in behind them pushing past them to give me the biggest hug.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlBV9UxYrg
"It will be okay" she shh's me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZYY01scr
"Rachel it's my fault" I say crying.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxcDfbXhkn
"No. It's Jane's. She's with the police now" Rachel says cupping my face and wiping my tears.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zObSxGdP
"What if" I say trying to think about how this might end.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItY5Y9Crx
"No" she says.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG49t7hu2Mp
Ross comes over to my other side and sits me back down in the chair. He sits next to me, arms going around me pulling me into rest on him.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCdMCimlGk
He shh's me and in my turmoil he calms me down. He doesn't say a thing he's just there. There for me, always in my time of need.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81z8m2IJHe
"Ms Gilbert Scott" I hear a doctor say. He's tall with short dark hair.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg1wfvpZM2
"That's me" I say almost jumping out of my chair.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkecEypZ8H
"We've treated the wounds, luckily for Jay they were superficial. We've taken x-rays as we need to assess the impact and look for any fractures. He's stable and you can go in" he says to the point.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PZ0Dzrx5a
"Thank you" I say and he nods and then leaves the waiting room.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMb21246ug
I stand straight away walking toward the room in my red stilettos. I rush straight to Jays side and he's asleep. Unsure if he's woken up at all I stroke his face.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwohBSuNMhe
It seems like we're always spending time in hospital rooms for one reason or another. Yet again, it's my fault. If I'd have just ignored her she wouldn't have felt compelled to hit out.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6J7GB3s2m
I stroke Jays hair back and kiss him, whispering to him that I love him. And that I always will. I want to hold him in my arms but I can't.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OF2U9Dc7v
"It will be okay" I hear Rachel whisper. I turn to her and see tears tracking down her cheeks.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS2aHWzFA8
"Let's get you some stuff" she says.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeEHIYFNmO
"Food and comfy clothes, Matty can get us a cab to yours" she suggests and he nods.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEUecJn1pz
I hand over my keys and the gate pass. And then sit down waiting for them to leave. They promise they'll be quick, I glance at the clock and it's already 4am.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBdVGbW2y
I take off my heels and lay back on my hospital chair holding onto my so far invisible bump. I cry a little and Ross takes up the chair next to me. He holds my hand quietly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV63SLcoAyc
"How far along are you now" he asks softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqkcVPjTK
"I think nearly 10 weeks" I say allowing him to distract me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX3lVE7ZCf
"You'll be showing soon" he says softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFNLgQsGBF
"You are going to be a wonderful mother" he smiles.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9TezJV8j
"I think it's going to be a boy, Jay isn't so sure" I say softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDkuH9pkV5
"Hmmm they say that mums instinct is always right” he chuckles.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HZryKOj9
“This is my fault again Ross” I say after a pause. If I had just ignored her none of this would have happened.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZICa21pii
“Look Taylor, she’s clearly a very unhinged person. How could you have known the outcome of this. You couldn’t. So don’t beat yourself up” he says.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WUEH4OiR
He smiles down at me and I sigh. I’m the problem.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPS1euBvUU
“You would say that” I say softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjsB0nsBRF
“What’s that supposed to mean” he laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQsJKGYiF
“You never see my wrongs” I reply.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9QwPE71T
“Because you’re perfect” he mutters.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGInsPnG0o
I let that conversation die, and before I know it I’m falling asleep curled up on the hospital chair.
