Taylor POV
I spent the rest of the day with Matt and Gil. I was having fun and I was glad that they were there because the shop was dead that day. I was cleaning up as Gil left to go to Matt's and Matt was staying with me because he didn't want me to be alone. He helped me clean up by telling me the spots I missed and I would just roll my eyes at him.
"You know if we stayed a little longer we could have some fun." He said.
"Yeah, but that would be mean to your dad." I told him and he pouted.
"You can live without it for a day." I said and he smirked.
"Fine, but I can't live without you." he said and I smiled.
"Good come back." I said and he laughed.
We left and went to Matt's. Gil was talking with Shane and Shannon when we got there. I was glad to see Shannon just because I was close to my brother.
"Where is Jeff?" Shane asked.
"Probably at his house; I will go get him." I said and Matt stopped me.
"Are you sure?" he asked me.
"Matt we are both grown adults; I will be fine." I said.
"Fine, but I will send a search party." He said.
"As long as you are the one to find me." I said as I hoped in my truck and drove the little homemade path. I got to Jeff's house and he was sitting on the front porch with his sketchpad. He put it down when he saw me get out of the truck.
"You wanted to talk?" I asked him.
"You're early." He said.
"I'm also the search party for you." I told him and he nodded.
"Dad must be up there." He said and I nodded.
"I wanted to tell you that I was sorry for blowing up and you and that you were right. I started using after Beth left me, again. I knew that was right when she found the book; I have always loved you. I rejected you years ago because of Shannon and I shouldn't have listened. He did it to protect you and he was right; but I still shouldn't have listened. I'm sorry that I put you through everything I have and I just hope that we can be friends. I don't want to mess up your relationship with Matt, but I wanted you to know the truth." He said and I just looked at him.
Damnit, Jeff, why now?!? I thought once he told me.
I just sighed and looked at him.
"What do you mean about Shannon?" I asked him.
"I was going to ask you out, but I didn't because Shannon told me he would break us up. I was real bad into drugs and he was just doing it to protect both of us, but mainly you." he said and I nodded. I was a little pissed at Shannon, but I knew that he had done the right thing.
"Jeff, you have to stop using; it's not good for you. You have a great career and you don't need to lose it." I told him and he sighed.
"Help me?" he asked me and I nodded.
"Jeff, you know I will, I still loved you even when I hated you." I told him and he smiled.
"Thanks, Tay." He said and smiled at me. He still had the cutest, crooked, and most trouble-making smile.
"Come on, Matt will send a search party." I said and he smiled.
He got his sketch pad and threw it into the truck with us. We drove back to Matt's and Shannon was giving me a 'we will talk later' look. I knew we would since we were staying at our house tonight. I wanted to stay in my bed tonight and I knew that Matt was better so he wouldn't need help in the middle of the night.
Gil grilled and we all ate outside that night. I was glad that it was still summer so that we could eat outside and have fun.
Shannon POV
I was going to talk with Taylor that night. I knew her too well to know that something was definitely up with her and Jeff. I didn't want anyone to get hurt so I needed to talk to her about it. We left around 9 that night and I was glad that Taylor was coming home. I wanted to know what was going on.
We both pulled up and got out.
"We are going to talk." I said and she just followed me inside.
"Yeah, I need to ask you something too." She said and I heard the tone; I knew she was mad at me for something.
We walked and she handed me a beer; she had wine. I didn't know how she drank that stuff.
"What's up?" she asked me.
"What's up with you and Jeff?" I asked her.
"We talked and nothing. He told me why he rejected me and that he is using again. I told him that he needed to stop and that he was going to ruin his life. I also told him that I would help him if he needed it. He made it clear that he was sorry and that he didn't want to ruin me and Matt's relationship." She said and I nodded.
"Oh…" I said.
"Yeah, so why did you tell him that you would break me and him up if we got together? Was it really because of Jeff's drug habitat or did you have another reason?" she asked me and I sighed.
"Ok, so partially it was the drugs, and partially another reason." I said and I didn't want to tell her the other reason.
"You're missing half." She said and I sighed.
"Because I knew that you deserved better; I know that you liked him, but you were going to college and Jeff would have just been in the way. You needed to be able to meet a guy at college if you wanted too." I said and she just looked at me.
"I was just trying to look out for you." I told her and she nodded.
"I know I shouldn't be mad because you had your reasons, but it just sucks because I had so many feelings for him. They went away and I started dating Matty, but they are resurfacing." She told me and I hugged her.
"Just be happy and I don't want you to get hurt. I will tell you that if you aren't happy with Matt; then you need to end that." I said
"No, Shan, I am happy with Matt. I am very happy." She told me and I knew that she was telling the truth.
"Just let me know if you need help." I told her.
We stayed up talking for a little while and I told her about talking with TNA. She was always there to support me and help me. I had told her that I wanted help with the tattoo parlor and I was glad when she told me that she had already told them she was quitting.
We talked until early the next morning before finally going to bed. She was going to sleep in and I was going to open tomorrow. I knew that she would be with Matt tomorrow and I wanted them to go to dinner with Me and Julie. I had met Julie while still working for the WWE; she was a great girl.
Matt POV
I woke up the next morning and went downstairs. Jeff was already up and had coffee made. I grabbed a cup and sat down. I needed to talk to Jeff about what all was going on.
"Jeff, we gotta talk." I told him and he looked at me.
"What?" he asked me.
"Are you using again? Don't lie to me." I said and he looked down.
"We can get you help." I told him and he just looked at me.
"I used a couple of times, but I have been clean for almost a week." He said and I nodded.
"You can go to rehab." I said and he flipped out.
"I am not going to rehab! I can do this if you will just help me!" he screamed.
"Look, Jeff, calm down. We can help you, but getting outside help might be good too." I said.
"I don't know why I told you." he screamed and we were now both standing there staring at each other. I knew that this would probably come to blows and it wouldn't be good.
"You have always judged me and thought of me as nothing but a problem. You have to put if off on everyone else. I have noticed that Taylor has been cleaning up your problems." He said and I was mad.
"Jeff, you are the problem, you never care what happens as long as you don't have to fix it." I yelled back.
I didn't know that Taylor had come into the house and she was listening to everything.
"You two need to calm down." She said and she put her hand on our arms. We both reacted wrong and pushed her away. I didn't mean to and I know that Jeff instantly felt bad when we heard the crash.
We both looked to see Taylor laying through my glass coffee table and she wasn't moving. We both ran to her and glass was everywhere.
"Taylor, are you ok?" I asked her and she moaned.
"We have to get her to the hospital." Jeff said and I nodded.
"I got her." Jeff said as he started to lift her.
"No, we can just call an ambulance." I said when I realized there was too much glass.
"Just go so they don't ask any questions." I told Jeff and he ran upstairs after calling an ambulance.
I just sat there and waited with her. I didn't want to move her because it looked horrible and the ambulance arrived within a few minutes. They questioned me about what happened and I said that she fell when I accidently hit her. They bought it and I left with Taylor. I knew that Jeff was probably calling Shannon, Shane, Jamie, Gil, and anyone else that he could think of to call. I felt horrible and I just wanted her to be ok.
