Wes Pov

"Why wouldn't you tell me Dr.Ryan wanted to see her?" I was helping Drew back to his room as Taylor was talking with Ryan alone.

"I didn't want to worry you, and the nurse said I shouldn't come into your room during non visiting hours." He stopped walking to lean up agains the wall breathing heavily, which led him to a coughing fit.

"At first I thought you were just screwing me over to spend time with her."He let out a small laugh that led to more coughs.

We started walking back to his room again in silence. I felt horrible because that was actually the reason I didn't get him. I wanted to be the one to comfort her when she found out the horrible news. I wanted to be the one to whisper in her ear that everything was going to be okay as she buried her face into my chest. I wanted to be the one to wipe away her stray tears,and tuck her strand of hair behind her ear. I wanted to cup her face in my hands and kiss her lips as the space between us grew smaller. Drew has her, she is his and I can't forget. She lights up whenever she sees him, and the ring on her finger is hard to miss.

I slowly opened the door with Drew having to lean on me for support. He stumbled a little before sitting on the bed.

"So when are you going to tell her?" It had been on my mind all day. I wanted to know how long he was going to push it.

"Tell her what?"

"You know the whole fake engagement thing." I could hear my voice start to rise. He was taking advantage of Taylor and it didn't seem to bother him at all.

"Wesley I'm not going to I thought I already made it clear. I lost her once I'm not going to lose her again."He stood up and was face to face with me. His eyes reading me like an open book.

"You just can't take advantage of her like that."

"Why?! So you can. I see the way you look at her. And don't tell me you're in love with her and this time things will be different. You can't stop yourself from hooking up with any girl you lay your eyes on."

"You're the one to talk! Do you not remember every weekend me covering for you because no one knew where you were."

"That's my past. You know I'm ashamed about it. I was going through a hard time back then." We were both yelling now I could feel my hands starting to form into fists.

"Fine if you're not going to tell her I will." I narrowed my eyes waiting for his response.

"Do you really think telling her everything that has happened is going to be easy?Do you think she can handle all that information right now? Please Wesley explain to me how you wanting to tell her about her past just so you can have her isn't selfish,but me trying to help her through this by reliving the past is.?"

"Tell me what?" Drew and I turned our heads facing the doorway where Taylor was standing. She looked scared and worried by the way we were yelling at each other. Before I knew how to respond I watch Drew run to her. He cupped her face in his hands and crashed his lips against hers. I watched as she melted at his touch and kissed him back. It felt like someone stabbed me in the stomach, but wouldn't let me die right away. I quickly brushed passed their make out session and left never looking back.

Taylor Pov

"Tell me what?"

I had heard them arguing from down the hall. I watched as Drew made his way towards me crashing his lips against mine. My insides melted at his touch and sent butterflies off in my stomach. His kiss was so passionate deepening as every second went by. He slowly pulled away looking into my eyes.

"I wanted to tell you; your beautiful, genuine, incredible, amazing, wonderful, breathtaking, remarkable, and my everything. I love you Taylor."

"I love you too." A stray tear fell from my eye and he wiped it away with his thumb his arms wrapping around my shoulders bringing me into a hug.

"Excuse me but visiting hours are over." An big African American nurse in scrubs tapped impatiently on her clipboard. A small sigh escaped my mouth and Drew brought me in closer kissing the top of my head.

"Can you give us five more minutes please?" Drew was begging her.

"Fine but only because I need to grab a coffee when I come back she better be gone." She gave us one last scowl before turning on her heel and walking away. I just stood there wrapped in Drew's arms listening to the beating of his heart, and feeling the movement of his chest rise and fall with every breath.

"I get to go home tonight."

Drew let out a deep breath before he answered.

"Just promise me you will come and visit."

"I promise." I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes and stood on my tippy toes giving him a quick peck on the lips. The corners of his lips turned upward speeding a smile across his face.

"Guess what?"

"What?" I let out a little laugh knowing what was coming next.

"I love you Tay."

"I love you too Drew" I almost didn't get to finish before Drew's lips met mine and sent a shock wave through my body. He slowly pulled away and let his arms fall from around my waist.

"I better go." I said halfheartedly since I never wanted to leave him. He took my hands in his looking me in the eyes.

"Don't worry Babe. I'll be here waiting all day for you to relieve me from this sanitized hell." I let out a small laugh and slipped my hands out of his as I turned towards the door.

"Your not going to say good bye." I turned to face him looking like a kindergartener not wanting his mom to leave him at school. I rolled my eyes.

"Good Bye Drew. I love you!" I blew him a kiss and headed out the door.

"Bye Taylor.I love you too" he caught my kiss, held it to his heart, and smiled one last time at me as the door closed and I began walking back to my room with a stupid smile on my face.
