Vanessa POV

I sat in th waiting room with my arm in a cast. Matt sat next to me asleep. We were waiting to hear the details on Taylor. Matt suddenly woke up and got sick all over himself. I carried him to the bathroom and ran the sink. I took off his shirt off revealing his toned stomach and V- line

"Goddamn!" I whispered under my breathe. I could feel him smiling. I used soap and water to wash his face and the little areas on his chest where he made a mess. I was using paper towels to dry is stomach when he grabbed my hand and held it there. I looked up at him and smiled and he smiled back.

After drying Matt off, we left the bathroom and went back to the waiting room. We didn't speak and the news for Taylor took longer and longer to come. I had nothing to do.

Finally, a doctor came with a grim look on his face. He told us Taylor was stabbed to death. I held in the tears and nodded. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Matt tense up. I grabbed my bag and Matt's arm and left the hospital. Once in the car I broke down and started sobbing. Matt cupped my face in his hands and wiped my tears away, but I kept sobbing.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to you..." he whispered into my ear. He started the car and drove us to my house in Virginia.
