Chapter 6

Taylor's P.O.V.

Dr. Seuss once said sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory

Jay cursed under his breath when Will's phone went to voicemail "Hey Will its Jay. Listen Taylor already knows everything. I don't know how but she knows. If she comes to you don't tell her a thing. I'll explain everything to her later"

I watched as Will was silent for a couple minutes at the least. Was he going to say anything? Did he even know? He peered down at his feet before he looked back up at me and smiled "Will Halstead, it's nice to meet you" He shook my hand

Alright, this is going good "You too" I'm cutting to the chase "Did you know?"

He sighed "Look, I wanted to tell you but"

"At least you didn't keep a file of me" I mumbled under my breath

"What?"

"Nothing" I stuffed my hands in my pockets

"Hey, did you want to have dinner tonight? All three of us? You know so we can get to know you better"

I nodded in agreement "Yea sure, sounds good"

"Okay, I'll have Jay text you my address. Tonight at 7"

"Dr. Halstead. Room 6" The same women behind the counter said

"I'll leave you to it" I said

He nodded "7 o'clock"

"Okay, I'll be there" I turned my back and walked out. Shit, I thought. I let the cab go. I shrugged my shoulders and began walking back to my house. It wasn't so far away. I took out my phone along the way and dialed Antonio. Hopefully he answers. It only rang a couple times until he picked up

"Hey, I just walked out of Med" I said

"Everything went okay?" I could hear noise in the background. He's still at his gym

"Considerably fine. I'm having dinner with him and Jay this evening"

"Hey, that's great" He exclaimed "Cabs taking you home?"

"Uh no actually" I said looking around as I walked slowly because of my brace "I'm walking home, it's good exercise for my leg"

"Your walking home in the streets alone"

I softly chuckled "I'm fine Antonio, plus my house isn't that far from Med"

"Are you sure your fine walking by yourself. Because I can get into my car and pick you up no problem"

"Antonio, I'm okay. Really, but again. Thank you" I said smiling. I admired the way he cared about me

"Anytime"

A small ounce of silence filled the phone "Hey, listen. I have an appointment here at Med on Friday. Can you give me a ride?" I face palmed my forehead quietly. I should ask if he wants to come with me, not give me a ride. Damn it

"Yea of course. What time?"

"It's in the morning, 8 o'clock. Dr. Rhodes just wants to examine my leg. See how's it's doing" I explained
