I couldn't help but cry. It was just the thought of losing Jacob that scared me the most. Maybe even if he lost me.

What would've happen if I was the one who got shot? Maybe I would've died instead of being rushed to the hospital.

I held Jacob's hand and sat beside him. I'm not going back to school until I know he's okay and safe. And until I find out who tried to kill my boyfriend.

"Jacob, you have to be ready by prom." I said firmly.

"What? Prom? Why?" He said with a raised eyebrow.

"I told this boy who asked me that you'd be taking me to prom." I said in a 'duh' tone.

He shooke his head and tried to sit up the wound hurt too bad.

"Taylor this hurt me pretty bad. When is prom?" He said.

"Well prom is in 3 days." I said looking at the ground.

"3 days! Taylor! You could've told me before hand." He said with wide eyes.

Its not like I knew a football jock of prick was gonna ask me. Either way I would've said no to Hunter.

Every girl he has been with, he has cheated on, played, or heartbroken them for no apparent reason.

I wasn't going to get my heart crushed like that by some guy. Jacob is different. Its like he understands me so much more than all the others.

Jacob and I have this special bond that I never had with someone else. Its like me and him are somehow closer than when we ever met, if that makes since.

Heck I don't even know what I'm talking about. I'm only 17, turning 18 in a couple of months and my boyfriend is 21 and in the hospital.

I'm sitting here falling harder and harder for Jacob everyday and for all I know, he could just be sitting there thinking he don't love me.

I swear, I was done with relationships after Michael. I didn't have the nerve to trust another guy. Its like once it happens to you, you are so petrified its gonna happen again over and over.

That is, until I met Jacob. When I laid eyes on him, I knew there was something about him. Something about the way his eyes sparkled and twinkled when they met mine.

Yeah, you're probably like 'omg stop with the mushy gooshy love dovey stuff already and get back to the story'.

So right now, its me, Dylan and Jacob in the hospital room waiting on the doctor to tell us something. Josh went back home to his girlfriend.

"Mr. Harris?" The nurse said walking in.

Jacob sat a little up and smiled and I held his head again, to make that nurse knew he was taken.

"The doctor has scheduled to release you tomorrow morning, depending on how you're feeling." She said looking at papers.

"Thank you." He said as he squeezed my hand.

He sure does have a tight grip.

"Ow Jacob." I said jerking my hand back.

"Sorry babe, I got excited. I get to get out of here in the morning." He said smiling.

"Its okay." I said pecking his lips.

"Get a room!" Dylan said.

"Get a girlfriend!" I said laughing.

He looked at me and smirked then pulled out his phone and started shaking it in the air, "On the way."

I rolled my eyes and Jacob found something on TV to watch and we all relaxed back and then Dylan fell asleep on the bed thingy.

"So why did you get suspended baby?" Jacob said twirling a piece of my hair.

"Well one of the football jocks asked me to prom and he invaded my bubble so I kneed him where it hurts." I said smiling.

"That's my girl but you gotta behave, please?" He said with puppy eyes.

"No promises." I said.

"You're so bad." He said smiling.

"I know. The baddest you will ever meet." I said flipping my hair over my shoulder, causing him to chuckle.

"You're so adorable." He said rubbing his finger along my cheek.

"Only because you're so sweet." I said smiling.

He smiled and I leaned into him and snuggled my face his chest. He smelled like cologne and it smelled so good.

There was a knock at the door and I jumped back into my seat and waited for whoever it was in at the door, to walk in.

"Jacob?" Some man in a black suit with a briefcase said as he walked in.

"Yes?" Jacob said as I inched my chair towards him.

"I'm detective Hopkins from the police department. I just wanted to investigate and see if we can catch who shot you." He said sitting his case down on the table.

"Okay, that's fine. Uhm I get out of here in the morning if you wanna-"

"I would actually like to talk now if you don't mind." He said pulling out some papers.

Jacob nodded and I moved over to the bed and woke up Dylan and he sat up.

"Do you have anybody in mind who could've done this?" Mr. Hopkins said.

"No, not that I know of." Jacob said shaking his head.

"What about Michael?" Dylan said propping up against the wall.

"He's in jail you dummy." I said slapping his leg.

"Ow Tay, that hurt." He said holding his leg.

"Who's Michael?" Mr. Hopkins said scribbling something down.

"He's my ex boyfriend, he's in jail though." I said.

"What is he in jail for?" He said looking at me.

"Well he raped me, abused me, and he broke into my house. Not to mention, he ran from prison and then got caught and got sent back." I said.

"Did he ever try and hurt you?" He said looking at Jacob.

"Not physically, but verbally. He did threaten me a lot and said some nasty things but that's it." He said as the detective scribbled some things down.

"Does Michael have any close friends who he could've gotten to do this?" He said looking at all of us.

"Wait," I said looking at the detective, "he does have one friend who would do anything Michael asked."

"What's his name?" He said scribbling something down.

"Garret Smith."
