Now what? (T.C)

4.1

Vanessa's pov

2:35 am.

I've stopped crying, so that's good I guess.

I wonder how Taylor is.

I shook my head at the thought of him.

I turned over and saw the play pen.

That's weird, neither has woken up.

I quietly got out of bed and opened my door.

Tea and Matt were cuddling together on the couch. Ethan was sleeping.

I headed for the stairs when I saw somethin on the table.

"Just so you don't have to go far -Tea xx" the note said.

She got me a glass of water.

I smiled at how well she knows me.

I took a sip and went back into my room.

I remembered Tea grabbed my phone so I got it out of my bag.

8 new text messages, 5 calls.

5/8 texts where from Taylor and so were 4 calls.

Shawn texted me, called once.

And the other two texts are from Hayes.

I ignored Taylor, but checked what Shawn said.

From: Shawny Boy 😘

Hey, I heard what happened with Taylor. I tired calling Tea and Matt but they didn't answer. I'm coming in the morning to make you a fancy breakfast and you're not allowed to say no ☺️ night 😘

I smiled at my phone.

Shawn's awesome. I love him.

Hayes' texted me to ask if they could keep it down and good night.

I texted him back.

V- haha! Did they? I wasn't even paying attention

I put my phone down and closed my eyes.

It light up.

H- well Tea came up with messy hair and without a shirt lol

V- I'll give her heck in the morning, but you should sleep.

H- you too. Night Nessa 😉

V- Nighty night Hazzzy 😉

I put my phone on the dresser and drifted into a light sleep.

I was woken by a loud cry.

"I got it." Tea came running in.

I laid back down and closed my eyes.

I could hear Tea humming to Emily, and it was working on me.

Tea's pov.

I looked at Vanessa, who was sleeping again.

"Worked on mommy too." I said to Emily, who was sleeping as well.

I laid her down and quietly exited the room.

Matt was rocking Ethan, and I smiled.

"You can stop anytime now." His deep voice brought me back to earth.

"Sorry babe. It's just..." I was at a loss for words.

Matt smiled, not looking up at me.

"There." He laid him back down and walked over to me.
