Matty's POV
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC31E3WNT6
The snow, which is now falling heavily, is oddly peaceful. At one am nobody is walking about and disturbing it. The car park is still almost devoid of people. Pulling my phone out, I arrange a tow for the 4x4 online so that it gets sent back home for tomorrow.

Taking a long pull on my cigarette and looking up I see Jay eyeing me. Give me a break, I think to myself, it’s already killing me that he’s been with her alone. Wondering what he might have said to her, how he would have comforted her.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPRBjRJiPO
"You okay man" he asks dragging on his own cigarette.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGBuLf9mfG
"I'm all good just towing the car home." I tell him simply.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsoMM4YFqD
"Is she going to be okay" he asks tentatively.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmHr43ehfx
"Not seen her that way before" he adds softly as I turn to inspect him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMC12RprXo
"I know. It was tough on her I think she thought he was a goner." I explain pocketing my phone and facing him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAjXsnVyH6
“She was collapsed in the snow beside him when I found her. Completely cold through and through, grasping at his hands and checking for a pulse” he explains looking into the parking lot.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg62WBISgw
The guilt I feel for not being able to help her in her time of need is immense. However at the time, without my car he was the best option to help her, to stop this from becoming an absolute nightmare where she ends up physically hurt. The prospect of her having conceived my child was very much on my mind the entire time.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ9mBZSCPa
“Are you okay man?" I ask him, aware that he may also be feeling a sense of shock.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xxUSnXbBN
"I’m fine, she isn’t" he says simply.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJhQQJuHn
“She cried a lot in the car” he adds, sighing slightly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONaVFU2xhB
"You think she's got him talking yet?" He asks turning to me, one hand in his pocket as he smokes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxjs4CDUxm
"Well I guess we will see" I say knowing that Taylor will not stop until she talks to Ross, and makes sure that he is okay.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3gEDCoes5
"She ugh is a very caring person" he says oddly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6cJkwxGr
"Well don't give her too much credit!" I laugh sarcastically.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaRrKZ2NtU
"No I just mean, the way she reacted to him in the hospital bed. And how she has been trying to get him to wake up" he explains.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnPNRALez
"Yes? Do you not know Taylor? At all? She hung up on me in the car and went looking for him putting herself in danger" I retort.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLnhO53f8F
"She's like that, always has to do the right thing. Risks herself over stuff like that." I say and is it coming across that I'm proud of her?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndGMByjZq
"She would even do it for you Jay" I laugh.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPl6hpskeS
"It's fucking admirable." He says taking a last drag on his cigarette and then drop shooting it into an ash tray.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ696dZK9m2g
I shake my head and follow him back through the revolving doors, he eyes the receptionist on the way in and she blushes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Ds7CqnDX
Pulling him and his Barbour jacket over to the food hall, I notice it’s similar to Taylor’s jacket and sigh. He pulls his black beanie off of his head and blonde waves tumble down almost to his shoulders.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUW07Zvb6M
“Let’s grab some food” I tell him as he follows me, a whole host of female attention on him as he strolls around casually pushing his wavy hair back.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVWR9COFL
“Chocolate is not food” he snarks heading over to the deli counter and purchasing meat and fancy cheeses.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61UD0z6kUk
Taking the elevators up to the west wing, he inspects the chocolate and fizzy drink I’ve bought her and smiles. I roll my eyes at him whilst imagining the smile she will give me when she sees it.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqRzFAOk9
Jay strides through the wing of the hospital as nurses move out of his way and smirk at one another. He clicks open the handle on the door and I distinctly hear Ross’ low chuckle. Jay looks back at me smirking as I think to myself that there is nothing that my girl cannot achieve.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjCdgji1Mk
"You're incredible and I got you a chocolate bar" I smirk watching Taylor turn to face me.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjd1cHqRWb
"Thank you" she smiles.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dalHdqQZ4
“I got you a selection of meat and cheese” Jay laughs and Ross scoffs.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokkFdmRqZ
"Glad you're back with us brother" I tell Ross as he nods at me weakly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGQkv7tFm1
"What did you say then" Jay asks Taylor as she grabs some pastrami and cheese and eats it.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg2cKg3YzO
"She was telling me awful jokes" Ross laughs, smiling to himself.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlCQj7wwa4
“Hey you did laugh at some of them." She teases him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fdeBBDNuY
“They were that bad I took pity on you” he smirks.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZ9ieuC48
“You’re very lucky that I cannot hit you” she smirks heading to the duffle bag I bought over from home. Placing her Barbour jacket on the recliner chair she stands and stretches out in the little skirt and jumper she’s still wearing.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kvmbHnZJb
"I brought you a shirt if you wanna change by the way" I explain as she rifles through the bag and pulls out my check shirt that she always ends up wearing.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYacMvr28p
"Perfect" she says heading into the small bathroom.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r6mgQadg
"You got my tooth brush too" she smiles over from the en-suite.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmXUYoxTye
"Well yeah I was waiting for the cab thinking what should I bring, Did I do good?" I call over watching her strip down and smiling to myself as I recline back on the chair.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF0nNoISZ2
"Perfect as always" she laughs heading back into the room in just my shirt. Seated in the recliner next to mine she lays down on her side facing me. I can't not look at her. She's literally been crying all day, but she looks amazing all of the time.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NpUJWAlU7
Placing a blanket over to her for her to use when she wants to sleep. The nurses couldn’t say no to Jay before when he explained that driving in the snow was far too treacherous, and so they have allowed us to stay.

Taylor's POV
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXHrQ4uuI6
So in a bizarre turn of events we are all sitting watching TV in Ross' hospital room. Another movie playing out on the flatscreen. And through their constant chatter I’ve realised that Matthew and Jay actually get on very well.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHfUlMp7cj
Ross murmurs a little, he's been drifting in and out of sleep. I stand up and ask him if he's okay as Jay eyes me from his chair.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlxiHKepeL
"More morphine? Maybe" I ask Ross.I feel his forehead. And he's just ever so slightly warm.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7fl5WLqa
"You're kind of warm" I say pushing his hair back, feeling the perspiration and worrying.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqP7GW5kIZ
"I'll call for the nurse" I say.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUVIm0jYmg
"I thought you were one" Jay laughs as I look at him, and stick out my tongue.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi1kv7caul
The nurse arrives. An older lady, with brunette hair tied into a plait, she reminds me of my mum. I speak with her as she enters. She smiles at me warmly checking Ross over.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71dhAuGXGE
"He is warm, you're right however the morphine will sort that out" she tells me pressing the button and sorting out the drip.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxbuvdNxDh
"Are you interested in being a trainee dear" she asks before she leaves. I chuckle turning my attention back to Ross.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJo3dF4Goe
"Told you" Jay smirks and I roll my eyes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54DoMSIdKP
Matty eyes me quickly and smiles. It's a shame that I can't lay in his arms tonight. I stare up at him laying on my side. Blanket around the end of my legs. It is warm in here. Hospitals are supposed to have a lack of funding but they sure have the money to heat them.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbQSA537l
"Babe don't look at me like that" Matthew whispers.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdkvaAOwcV
"Like what!?" I say smirking.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxskF2T5W
"You know what" he chuckles and tickles me.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdINGF36epJ
"Get some rest" he warns me placing his hand under my chin and guiding my lips to his. After a long kiss he lets me go.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnrmCWtUN
"I’ll deal with the patient" he says softly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZi75GjTNB
The nurses have allowed us to stay on the recliners over night because of the disruptive weather and heavy snow. I had imagined us all having to ride back in Jay’s range however it appears we’re all having a hospital sleepover instead.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHukNcINfb
Lying on my back, I finally rest, closing my eyes for hopefully a dreamless sleep.
