Nothing Like Us (Maylor)

Chapter Twenty Seven

Matthew's POV

I was happy that Taylor went home with me, I knew something was wrong but I didn't want to ask.

I kept looking over at him and I knew he seen me yet he didn't say anything.

We sat in the back seat while Eric drove us back to the house, I looked up in the front seat seeing that he wasn't paying attention so I unbuckled and slid closer to Taylor.

I sat my hand on his thigh and looked at him, Tay's eyes moved down to my hand but he didn't say anything.

"Talk to me Taylor, I'm here for you" I whispered looking at him but yet he still didn't look at me.

"I'm sorry that this happened to you" I said looking at him with a frown, if only I actually knew what happened to him.

Eric soon pulled into the driveway and thank god my parents weren't home yet.

Eric looked back at me and Taylor, "Matt I want you to take him to your room when you two get into the house" he said. Usually Taylor would groan if someone said something like that but this time he didn't which made me upset.

I unlocked the door and got out helping Taylor out well as much as he would let me help.

We walked inside and I stopped him before walking up the stairs "Taylor wait" I said taking his hand into mine "please talk to me, I can't help if I don't know what's going on"

Taylor looked at me "nothing Matthew" even the slightest words that came from his mouth made me smile.

"Just remember I'm here for you"

Taylor walked passed me and up the stairs to my room, I'm surprised he listened but then again I was surprised by a few things he was doing.

I followed after him getting stopped in the hallway by Cole "hey is he okay?" Cole asked.

I looked at my youngest brother and shrugged "honestly I have no idea if he is or not" I said walking passed him and into my bedroom with Taylor.

Taylor sat on my bed staring off into blank space, I walked over and sat down next to him "are you okay?" I asked even though I knew he wasn't.

He just shook his head no and that's when I seen it, the marks on his skin, I've never actually seen someone have the marks but I've seen them online. Track marks, I frowned and looked at him, "please tell me what happened"

Taylor looked over at me a frown stretched across his face "n-nothing" he stuttered a little and I've never known Taylor to stutter.

I grabbed him gently and pulled him into my arms "I'm here for you" I know I keep saying the same things over but honestly I don't know what to say, I've never been through something like this.

He rested his head against my chest "I just want the pain to stop" he whispered softly but not to soft that I couldn't hear him.

I bit my lip and looked at him "It will stop, I'm going to help make it stop" I whispered holding him close to me.

Taylor's POV

I knew Matt was just trying to help by saying all these sweet things but right now I didn't care what he was saying.

I didn't care if he cared.

Why should he care if I don't even car.

I know he's just trying to be there for me but I don't need anyone to be there for me, I need something that will help me.

I need medicine, drugs, something so that I could get my mind off of everything around me.

Something that could make the killer pain in my head to stop.

Matt just held me in his arms lightly rubbing my back like most people would be doing for someone in my position.

I could tell he was crying by the way that his chest moved, I could hear the weakness in his breathing.

I know he's crying because of me, the bad thing is that right now I don't even care if he's upset or not. Guess that's what drugs due to you.

I remember when I was a kid my mom and dad used to use a bunch of drugs, sometimes they would even shoot up right in front of me.

I hated it, I hated how they didn't care about me, how they pretended I didn't exist.

I was them now, I didn't care about anything or anyone and I hated it but I don't know how I could quit. I've always said that I would never do drugs and now that's one big lie.

Matthew's POV

Eventually Taylor's breathing got calmer telling me that he was asleep, I was glad he was asleep because he could relax.

I started crying when I was holding him in my arms, I think that he could tell but I don't know.

I slowly let go of Taylor and laid him back on the pillows instead of my boney knee.

He gripped onto the blankets that laid on my bed, I smiled at how cute he looked on my bed asleep, I'm glad he's my boyfriend and I will do anything to make sure that what he's going through right now will end.

I don't like seeing him unhappy, I want to make him happy and that's what I plan on doing no matter what.

Cole walked into the room after he knocked once, he shut the door quietly behind him and looked at me, "how long did it take for him to fall asleep?" my little brother asked.

"not long"

He nodded and looked at Taylor, I made sure to cover him up with one of my throw blankets so that Cole didn't see his arms.

I wasn't embarrassed for Taylor, I mean I felt awful and I blamed myself but I just don't want Cole to see that. He was too young and I don't think Taylor would want everyone to know about them.

"I hope he's okay, that must have been traumatizing. I wondered what happened to him when they had him" He said softly I think he was talking more to his self than to me.

I bit my lip and nodded "do you know who kidnapped him?" I asked and he nodded.

"The cops said something about his birth parents escaping" Cole said.

"I thought he only had a dad" I said quietly talking to myself.

"Guess he has a mom too, they both got away though. The officer said that they were going to look around for them and if anything happened then we should tell them" Cole explained.

I nodded "I'm going to leave you two alone so you can get some rest" Cole continued, I gave him a small smile.

He walked to the door opening it up quietly so he didn't wake Taylor "Cole" I said looking at him.

He looked back at me "yeah?"

"Thank you"

He raised an eyebrow "for?"

"just being there for me" I said with a smile.

He nodded and walked out leaving me and sleeping Taylor alone.

I laid down next to him and wrapped my arms around his small waist, he has always been small or at least as long as I've known him but he felt smaller now.

I rested my head against the pillow as I spooned him.

"Good night Tay" I said even though he was already fast asleep.
