*******Jake POV*******

I wake up and see Taylor curled up on my lap. I glance at the clock and see that it's 7:30 PM. We must've fallen asleep because the TV is still blaring. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. She's so perfect, so amazing. I grab the remote and turn off the TV, then I settle down on the couch. It's actually quite comfortable. I lay awake for quite a while, watching Taylor.

That sounds creepy, but its not. I slowly drift off around 11:00 PM.

************

I wake up with Taylor's head resting on my stomach. It doesn't hurt, despite the fact that several of my ribs are broken.

"Hey." She says, lifting her head.

"Hey." I say, softly. I glance at the clock, it's 12 PM. We slept till noon.

"Crazy. I don't think I've ever slept this late." Taylor says, looking at the clock.

"Me neither." I reply. She gets up.

"Hungry?" She asks.

"Duh. When am I not?" I grin. She laughs, heading into the kitchen. I get up and follow her. I reach into the cupboard, pulling out a box of poptarts and some cereal. Taylor gets orange juice and milk out. I poor myself a glass of OJ and a bowl of cereal. Taylor gets a poptart and a glass of OJ.

"Are you gonna go to school tomorrow?" She asks.

"Yeah. I feel fine. I don't see why not." I reply.

"Okay. How about practice?" She asks.

"Yeah. I'll probably watch." I reply. She nods.

"Ughhhhh. I'm so tired." She groans.

"Me too!!! We just slept till noon and I'm still tired." I exclaim. She laughs. We finish eating and we wash our cups, bowl, and silverware.

"I'm bored." I say.

"Same." She replies.

We just sit on the couch all day. And basically do nothing but watch TV, kiss, and hang out.

*********2 Weeks Later********

****Taylor POV****

Jake has been doing awesome. His ribs are basically healed. He is now wearing a walking boot since the break wasn't all the way through and he's been back at school. We won all of our games these past weeks, too. So a lot of great news. We went up to Stanford with Coach this week. We even got to miss a little school. The field, the building, everything was amazing. It was beyond beautiful. And they said that they're still willing to give Jake AND I full scholarships.

"Hey. You there?" Jake asks, waving a hand in front of my face. I blink, lost in thought. We are sitting with the team at McDonalds after the state championships. We won by a field goal.

"Yeah. I'm here." I reply, smiling.

"Taylor, you played amazing." Alex says, coming up to me.

"Thanks." I reply.

"I'm really sorry about everything this year. I hope that you can forgive me." He says, looking down.

"Alex, we are totally cool. Seriously, I forgive you and everything is okay." I reply.
