A/N: I don't own anyone except Taylor...

CenaCandiceFan4Life- Thanks for the review. I couldn't believe it either… I was shocked.

Taylor POV

I fell asleep worried about Jeff because no one knew anything, I couldn't get a hold of him, and I still had a bad feeling. I woke up to my phone ringing around 3 am. I didn't bother looking at the caller ID because I knew that anyone who was going to call me at this time had important news.

"Hello?" I asked groggily.

"Tay, it's Matt." He said and I sat up in the bed. I knew this really had to be important.

"Yeah?" I asked him.

"It's about Jeff." He said and he didn't sound happy.

"What's wrong, Matt?" I asked him.

"He has been arrested and he is in jail." He said and I felt numb. I didn't understand or know why.

"Matt, I'm coming over." I told him.

"See ya in a minute. Be careful." He said.

I put on enough clothes to cover up and went straight to Matt's. He pulled me into a hug when he opened the door.

"What happened? Why?" I asked him.

"I don't know, but I know that it was drug related." He said. My numbness turned to anger; He wasn't supposed to be into drugs. He shouldn't have had any; I was angry.

"I thought he was clean." I said and Matt sighed.

"Me too, Tay." He said and I was so mad.

"Does Shan know?" I asked him and he nodded.

"I knew that he needed to know since you were dating Jeff." He said and I nodded.

We were sitting in the kitchen when the door opened and we stood up. I didn't know anyone else was supposed to be coming over; it was the early morning.

Matt POV

I was sitting with Taylor when the front door opened and shut. I didn't know who it could be since Taylor was with me and Shannon was with Julie. I hadn't told Shane or Jamie; Dad knew but he wouldn't come over.

I saw Jeff, who looked tired, messy, and annoyed walk into the room. I didn't know how Taylor was going to react, but I found out quickly when Jeff walked up to her.

"I'm…" he was saying and the sound of her hand hitting the side of his face echoed in the house. I wanted to sat he deserved it, but I wanted to know the really story first.

Taylor turned and run into my room; shutting the door and locking it. I sighed and thought it could have gone worse. I just looked at Jeff and he sighed.

"Care to explain?" I asked him as I saw the door the my room crack open; I knew that Taylor was listening.

"I have a lot of prescription pills, but they also found some old cocaine and opium. They are saying I'm trafficking drugs because of all my prescription pills. I didn't know what was happening or what to do. I called the family lawyer and he came to help me." He said and I sighed.

"Jeff, have you been using again?" I asked him and he hung his head.

"Yes." He mumbled and I saw the door to my door shut again.

"You're a fuck up." I said and he just looked at me.

"Go home." I said and he sighed.

"Do you think she hates me?" he asked me.

"I wouldn't be surprised." I said and he finally walked out the back door.

I sighed and walked to my room; I tried the door and it was open. I walked in and Taylor was sitting on the floor bawling; I felt so bad for her. I walked over and sat beside her; I just pulled her to me and left her cry.

Taylor POV

I cried myself to sleep in Matt's arms. The guy I had always wanted proved that he really wasn't worth it, yet again. I loved Jeff with everything I had, but he just couldn't give up his demons.

I woke up later still curled up to Matt. I looked at him and he was staring at the ceiling; he looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"You ok?" he asked me.

"No, I am an idiot." I said.

"Tay, you're not an idiot. You thought he had changed; we all did." He told me and I sighed.

We talked a little longer before Shannon wanted me to come to the parlor so we could talk. I knew that it would be an interesting talk; I didn't want to go alone. Matt was going to go with me; I was glad.

Shannon POV

I was livid when I found out that he had been arrested for drugs; Taylor could have gotten hurt. I didn't sleep much after Matt called me, but I didn't wake Julie. She had to work that day.

Taylor and Matt showed up at the parlor around lunch. I had someone take over and we walked into the back room. I just pulled her into a hug; she needed it.

"Are you ok?" I asked her and she nodded.

"What happened?" I asked them and Matt explained the whole thing.

"I thought he was clean." I said.

"So did we." Taylor mumbled.

"What is going to happen?" I asked them and Taylor shrugged.

"I am fixing to go talk to Dad and then Jeff." Matt said.

"Matt, I'm gonna stay with Shannon." She said and Matt nodded. She hugged him and just sat on the couch when he left.

"Have you seen Jeff?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I slapped him." She said and I smiled. She shot me a look and I hugged her.

"Tay, I'm sorry. I know you came back for him and it didn't turn out good. I hope that you don't regret it. I know that Jeff has issues, but don't give up on him yet. We all haven't." I told her and she nodded.

"I know, but it really sucks." She said and tears rolled down her cheek.

Jeff POV

I was a fuck up and life wasn't worth it. I hated that I was so stupid and I have the chance to lose everything. I had talked to my lawyer and he let me know that I had messed up. Taylor wasn't talking to me; Dad wasn't happy with me and Matt didn't want to talk to me. I didn't blame them and I knew that I was a fuck up.

I was sitting in my art room and I saw a picture of Taylor and myself. I grabbed it and looked at it. We looked happy and normal; we were anything but that. I knew that I had two options: I could face everything that I had done or I could take the other way out. I knew that the one made me face jail and the other made me face the afterlife.

I was sitting there and the other option seemed like a good idea. I could just be out of everyone's life. Taylor wouldn't have to worry about me, Dad could focus on Matt, Matt could focus on himself, and everyone else didn't matter. I knew what I could do, but did I want to?
