A/N: ShannonxMoore'sxLoverx, dAV3, CenaCandiceFan4Life- Thanks for the reviews.
My hand is a little better, but chapters will still be slower. Enjoy!
Taylor POV
Waking up by Jeff was great and I mostly stayed with him that whole week that Shannon was gone. I knew that I had a house to myself, but I also finally had Jeff. I was opening the parlor and managing it fine without Shannon. I just hoped that he was having fun with Julie; she was nice and good for Shannon. I was just glad that he had found someone who would put up with him.
It was Thursday and Shannon would be back in a few days because Julie had to go to work on Monday. I was at the parlor and fixing to leave when someone replaced me; I wanted a short day today. I was going to Matt's to hang out with Shane, Jeff, and Matt. Jamie was at a taping and Shane missed her; he was going to propose next week. We were all excited for him and we knew that he really loved her.
I left and went to Matt's. Gil was over there as well; Jeff was riding his dirt bike and Shane was riding one as well. I was sitting on Matt's porch with Gil and Matt; I was happy that I had come back.
"Are you glad to be back?" Gil asked me.
"Totally." I told him and he smiled at me.
"We are glad you are back; my boys were lost without you." he said and I smiled. Matt was just laughing because his dad could still embarrass him.
Jeff POV
I was riding with Shane and we were going over the course. I knew that Taylor was going to be over and I figure she was talking with Dad. I was riding when I hit a jump wrong and flipped the bike. I went flying and it all hurt when I hit the ground; I just laid there.
Shane POV
I was riding with Jeff when he hit a jump and flipped his bike. He went flying and landed hard; he didn't move. I knew that something was wrong. I yelled for Taylor and went over to help Jeff. I was beside him when Taylor came running over; she looked very concerned.
"What happened?" she asked me.
"He hit it wrong and landed hard." I told her and she was beside Jeff.
"Call an ambulance." She told me and I walked away.
Jeff POV
I could hear Taylor talking to me and I was trying to respond. I was in so much pain. I finally got my eyes open and everything was blurry. I could see Taylor and I finally reach over and touched her.
"Jeffy, it's going to be ok." She said and I just closed my eyes again. She said it was going to be ok, so it would be.
Matt POV
I wasn't worried until I saw the ambulance pull up. I was with Dad and we stayed back so that there weren't too many people around to get in the way. The ambulance pulled away and Taylor walked up to us with Shane behind her.
"Hospital?" I asked her and she nodded.
Shane rode with her and I drove dad to the hospital. We were all worried about Jeff; Taylor was really worried. We got there and all sat in the waiting room. I pulled Taylor into a hug and she just leaned her head on my shoulder.
We waited what seemed like an eternity before the ER doctor came out to see us. We all went into a small room off to the side.
"Jeff will be fine, but he took a bad fall. He has two broken ribs, a concussion, major bruising, and ruptured his spleen. He has had surgery to remove the spleen and we got to it in time. He is recovering, but he will have to stay overnight tonight. He is in a room if you would like to see him." The doctor said. We thanked him and followed him to Jeff's room.
We all went in and he was really banged up. Taylor was upset and Shane hugged her; she was really in love with him. Taylor sat down beside Jeff and took his hand; he looked over at her.
"Hey." She whispered and he tried to smile.
We all talked to him and told him what was going on. I was going to stay with him tonight and Shane was going to stay with Taylor. We all didn't like the idea of her staying by herself even though she had a house by herself.
Taylor POV
I finally went home that night and Shane came over to stay with me. I plopped down on the couch and Shane sat next to me.
"You ok?" he asked me and I nodded.
"I am just glad that he is alright." I said and Shane nodded.
We stayed up and talked some more before we finally fell asleep the next morning. I was so tired, but I couldn't stop worrying about Jeff.
The next two days sucked because Jeff had to stay at the hospital longer than they thought. I just wanted him home. Shane stayed with him one night and he didn't want anyone staying with him the next. He wasn't happy because he had gotten hurt and I hated it.
I was fixing to leave when Shannon and Julie pulled up. I smiled and hugged them.
"Why didn't you tell me Jeff got hurt?" Shannon asked me.
"Because I wanted you to enjoy your honeymoon." I told him and Julie just smiled. I was happy for them.
"You want to go see him?" I asked Shannon as Matt pulled up in a truck.
"Actually, I think he wants to see you." Shannon said as Jeff slowly got out of Matt's truck.
I walked over to him and he just hugged me. I was glad that he was better; at least he wasn't in the hospital.
"Why didn't you go home?" I asked him.
"I wanted to see you." he said and I kissed him gently.
We all went inside and decided that I would end up staying a Jeff's for a few nights in case he needed help. I knew that it would be more like Matt and me would be staying a Jeff's but that was ok too.
Shannon and Julie hung out for awhile and I got stuff together to take to Jeff's. Shannon had given me the next two days off to help with Jeff. I was glad that Shannon and Julie were ok, now I wanted Jeff to be ok.
I rode with Matt and Jeff to Jeff's. Jeff wanted to rest in his bed and I would have wanted the same thing. I helped Jeff lay down and he pulled me next to him. Matt disappeared to his house for awhile and promised to come back for dinner.
Jeff POV
I was so glad that Taylor was with me; she helped me a lot.
"Sorry I scared you." I whispered and she looked at me.
"It's ok, but do it again and I will kill you." she said and I smiled.
I pulled her to me and kissed her gently. She tasted like strawberries and she was so soft. I kept on kissing her and forgot all about my pain. I tried to roll over onto her and I winced at the pain.
"Oh, Jeff, I'm sorry." She said and I smirked.
"See what you do to me." I said and she pouted.
"Don't, you don't hurt me." I said and she gave a small smile.
We laid there until she got up to cook dinner; Matt came over and I sat on the couch while they cooked. I hated it that I couldn't help her. I wanted nothing more than to have my arms wrapped around her as she cooked at the stove or to plant little kissed on her neck as she tried to concentrate. I hated being hurt.
Taylor POV
We all ate dinner and it was good. I was glad that Matt was there to help and Jeff ate more than I expected since he was still in some pain. I cleaned up while Matt helped Jeff back to bed. Jeff fell asleep pretty quickly and I came back downstairs to help me.
"You doing ok?" he asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, just glad that everyone is ok and home." I said and he laughed.
We sat and talked for a little while before Matt sent me to bed. I didn't sleep with Jeff because I didn't want to hurt him.
