Super short. But just thought i'd go ahead and post it. I'm so stuck with Learn To Love Again. It's terrible so i'm writing busying myself with this story until I can think of something for my other one. Suggestions for that one or this one are much appreciated. THANKS FOR THE AMAZING REVIEWS BTW!
Chapter 14
"RYAN! Get up!" Taylor jumped out of the bed after looking down at her hand and realizing her wedding ring was no longer there. "Huh?" He said walking into the pool house. "Ryan, it's not here!" She cried tearing the bed apart. She started to panic. She never took her ring off. EVER.
"What?" He sat up quickly giving her a confused look.
"Oh God, Oh God." She started pacing the room. "What is going on?" He asked her pulling his hand through his hair. "My wedding ring!" She cried.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's gone! It was on my hand yesterday. Ryan I never take it off! Ever!" She said loudly searching the pool house. "Maybe it fell off." He walked over to where she was.
"Why would it fall off?"
"That's the only explanation I can think of, Taylor." He shrugged. "Why are you not freaked out about this? Because I am." She looked at him.
"Why would I be freaked out?" He asked.
"Because it's a sign!" She cried.
"A sign? Taylor, I don't believe in signs. I'm sure it's around here somewhere."
"I need to check the house. I need my ring back!" She rushed out of the pool house.
He took a deep breath and sat down on the bed. He smiled to himself as he pulled the ring out of his pocket. While she was sleeping the night before he had gently taken the ring off of her finger carefully to not wake her. He was getting it engraved and he'd put it back on her finger the night of their 'date.'
That wedding ring meant everything to Taylor. It was her hope that they could last through it all. Now it wasn't on her hand anymore and it was scaring her to death. She knew it was silly to lose hope over losing a wedding ring but she needed all of the hope she could get in her relationship with Ryan.
"Have you seen it?" Taylor rushed into Seth's room. Summer was sitting on his bed reading a magazine. "Seen what?" She put the magazine down. "My wedding ring! You know, gold band that has set on my finger for a little over a year. It's missing." Taylor started pacing the length of the bedroom.
"Calm down, Taylor. I'm sure it's around here somewhere." Summer shrugged.
"This can't be happening." Taylor stopped and looked at Summer.
"You're totally over-reacting." Summer tried to hide a giggle. She knew exactly where the ring was. That morning before Taylor had woken up Ryan had come into the kitchen and told her and Seth what he was going to do. Taylor shook her head and exited the room. She was going to find that ring. She just had to.
"Sandy, Kirsten I was wondering if you guys have seen my wedding ring?" Taylor walked into the kitchen a little frantic in case the ring was somewhere she didn't want to miss it. "No, did you take it off?" Kirsten questioned. "No! I never take it off." Her voice hitched a little.
"It was on my hand yesterday. I remember seeing it. Then I was doing dishes. Oh God it fell down the drain!"
"I can check for you, if you like." Sandy spoke up. "Please! I just need to find it!" Taylor spoke.
"I'm sure it's around here somewhere." Kirsten assured her. Once Taylor had left the room Kirsten looked at her husband and smiled. "She's so distraught over losing that ring. Ryan better hurry up and give that ring back before she tears our house apart."
"Uhm, Taylor what are you doing?" Ryan limped into the living room where his wife was busy pulling the cushions out of the couch. "If you must know, Ryan I am looking for my ring!"
"Taylor, calm down." He laughed a little. "No, that's not going to happen. Not until I find that ring." She was determined.
He just laughed and reached into his pocket to feel the ring. It wasn't there. His face paled. "What is it?" She looked up. "Nothing…I just I left something in the pool house." He turning around and walked swiftly into the pool house. He started pulling the blankets of the bed up. He just had it not ten minutes ago. It was in his hand. Then he put it in his pocket. Great. Just great. He started to panic. Taylor walked into the pool house flustered.
"I have to find that ring! It means too much to me." She sighed. He just nodded hoping he could find it before she did.
