Unconditional

Chapter 27

 When we kissed it seemed like the whole world stood still and it was just us. The next day was the day I was going to look at UCLA. Taylor was coming with me to tour the campus. I haven't received any of my class listings or books, so I figured it would be good to get a feel for the campus.

"Babe are you almost ready," I asked Taylor as I grabbed my jacket.

"Give me two minutes."

He came down the stairs and we got in his car and drove over to the campus. When we got there, the few students that were actually there were walking around with friends drinking coffee. The campus wasn't that big, there were five buildings plus a greenhouse and bookstore/library.

"You think you'll enjoy coming here," Taylor asked as we walked back to the car.

 "Yes, I think this will be amazing."

We spent the rest of the day walking around LA and hanging out. That night when I fell back asleep, I had a bad dream about people coming to chase me, no matter how far I ran they were always a little bit faster than me. When they were about to grab me I woke up in a cold sweat.

I breathed in and out heavily placing my hand over my heart. Like that was going to keep it steady. Taylor, who was sleeping beside me, stirred and sat up a little bit.

"Hey are you ok," he asked wrapping an arm around me.

 I leaned into it and said "yeah, just a bad dream."

"Do you want to talk about it," he asked.

 I breathed, now almost completely forgetting my dream. "No, maybe tomorrow."

 "Tomorrow," he agreed.

 I shrunk back down into the covers and felt his hand go over me.

 "I won't let anything hurt you," he whispered in my ear.

 I nod and Taylor kisses my shoulder. I fall back to sleep with a smile on my face next to the most perfect man I've ever met.
