Taylor's P.O.V

"Okay see you tomorrow Lilly," I state as I walk out the door and towards my next lesson which is creative writing. I smile at people as I walk past them on my way to the English building. I happen to look out across the quad at Florida and I see a group of girls tossing a softball around and I wonder if my roommate is there too. My roommate Karlie is part of the softball team here at Florida and according to most of the school she's pretty good too. I don't see her tall lanky body anywhere but that's not unusual among a heap of tall athletes too. Making my way into the English building I smile at my lecturer and take my usual seat in the front row and pull out my notebook and pen, ready to take down notes for the day.

By the time 5.00pm rolls around and I'm making my way back across campus to the tiny apartment like dorm that I share with Karlie and one other girl Madison but she's never actually there and from what I've been told she likes to meet men on campus and often has lengthy sleepovers with her flavour of the week which mainly leaves Karlie and I to get food at the same meal hall and such. Tonight though is a Wednesday so I'm not expecting Karlie home to go to the meal hall together since she will have practice but I'm a little shocked when I walk in and practically trip over her gear bag that she knows not to leave lying around because I'm a total klutz. "Oh my god Karlie, come on." I state in frustration kicking the bag out of the way and proceeding to walk into the kitchen area that is fully stocked with food but we eat our main meal in the meal hall because it's simple. "I'm sorry..." I hear a weakened voice call from the bedroom area. I poke my head around and call out, "Karlie is that you?" I hear a groan back and so I go to investigate.

Sitting in her bed with a massive icepack on her foot is Karlie, I drop my purse that has all my stuff in it at her doorway and walk in. "Oh my god what happened?"
"Stupid ankle roll, I had to move out of Olive's way because she had possession of the ball but she gave me a shove and I rolled it, it's okay though. Only hurts when I move..." she states wincing as she shuffles over in the bed so I can sit next to her. "Oh Karlie, what did the team doctor say?" Karlie only avoids looking at me and I know instantly that she hasn't even been to see anyone. "Okay, grab your phone I'll drive you. The car is only downstairs." I state rolling my eyes at her stubbornness and although I expect a fight about it, I'm shocked to realise that she's not arguing only listening which tells me that it is actually really sore and I should probably take it easy on her.

Karlie's P.O.V

The drive to the local doctor on campus is slow as Taylor is being cautious not to hurt my foot any more than it already is but I don't want the pain to be stretched out so I turn to Taylor and say, "look it's gonna hurt either way and I'd prefer if you just drove fast alright?" she looks at me, gulps and then nods and does speed up. We make it to the clinic with only an hour until it shuts for the night, I watch Taylor disappear inside and return with a nurse and a wheelchair, I groan but stop when Taylor yanks the door open and looks at me. "Ready?" I nod not having the heart to tell her that I'm afraid of nurses and doctors and just any hospital environment in general.

We'd been at the small campus office for a mere five minutes before the nurse comes back and tries to wheel me away, I yank on the brakes and look at Taylor in what must look like a state of panic. "What is it Karlie?" she questions crouching down to my height.
"S-sca-a-a-red..." I stutter, making Taylor smile at me.
"Oh Kar..." she sighs stroking my shoulder and wiping a few hairs out of my face and I watch as Taylor stands back up and says, "well, do you mind if I come?" The nurse looks down at my face and says, "I'm sure it's fine if you come with your girl..." I ignore the last part but Taylor blushes and before I know it we're down at the x-ray department and as the nurse helps me up and Taylor stands waiting for the radiographer to come and line me up for the x-rays. "I'm really nervous Tay," I state as Taylor moves my hair back again and almost shows me a different side to her. As the radiographer comes into the room Taylor is forced to leave and I'm alone, the radiographer tries not to hurt me too much but it seems to be unavoidable as she manoeuvres it around and makes me squirm despite her best efforts. "Sorry Miss Kloss, I'm trying to be nice about it."
"It's okay, I know you can't don't worry about it." I state hoping that it gets done as quickly as possible.

Within half an hour I'm back in the doctor's office being fitted with a moon boot or a walking boot, I've been prescribed codine painkillers and told not to take them more than necessary otherwise there is a risk of becoming addicted to them but I've assured the doctor that I won't let that happen. I even give them to Taylor who slips them into her coat pocket as I fill in paperwork. The crutches help me make it back out to Taylor's car and within two hours of arriving I'm back in my bed at the apartment. Taylor gives me a pill and a large glass of water before going and grabbing my pyjamas so that I can get changed easily. The doctor told me that I can take the boot off my foot at night but I have to wear it whenever I want to move. Once Taylor helps me get changed and I get situated in bed we settle back to watch something on Netflix and it happens to be Law and Order: SVU which is Taylor's favourite TV show and I decide that because of everything that she's done for me today it's really the least that I can do. After a few hours I'm starting to get really sleepy and Taylor is cuddled down snuggling into the soft purple blanket on the foot of my bed, I look over and see her watching the TV with such an obsession and it makes me smile at her. "You're so pretty..." I see her turn and look at me but the dazed part of my brain doesn't register it and I end up talking more, "...sometimes I wish we were more than good friends..." I state lying down on my pillow. I see Taylor go to move but I reach out and wrap my arms around her preventing her from leaving and regardless of what she feels she doesn't put up a fight and instead allows me to hug her close.

A bolt of pain makes my eyes open wide and I take in my surroundings and I feel someone next to me. "Taylor?" I whisper and the blonde in my arms begins to wriggle around. "Tay..." I hiss making her turn over and face me, but before I even say anything more she rubs her eyes and genuinely looks cute so I don't even waste any time in saying, "god you're so pretty, you're so pretty I wish we were not friends..." Taylor's face turns into a frown and I stare at her. "What?" I question. "You said that last night," Taylor states and I grin at her,
"Probably because it's true..." I state looking at her, I watch her blush and then I lean over and kiss her on the lips, we pull away quickly and I grin while Taylor slyly states, "please, I want some more?" This makes me grin because it's a line from Taylor's favourite movie Oliver Twist. "Absolutely, I can do that..." I state leaning over and practicing what I just said and with it the promise of more to come.
