Taylor didn't realize how touchy he was right now. "Nashton, I was just joking, you know." She said quietly. She rested her head on his shoulder, thankful to be in his arms. "I love you." She whispered then started to drift off to sleep.

"WAIT! What four people?!? I did not almost kill Taylor, liar. I don't remember you rescuing me. That was all me. From the deal to getting the kid out of there. All you guys did was show up." She hissed,"I appreciate the thought but I owe you no graditude. None."
"Oh, then I'm sorry then. Sometimes I can never tell." Nashton apologized. He looked up at every car that came into the parking lot. That's when he saw Jackie. "Taylor I love you too. Now let's get a move on, our ride is here!" He said with relief.

Cadeon stopped and turned back around. "Who were the four you attached? Kristen first, Orson second, Sergio third and Nashton after your sister. Because unlike you, he was protecting you sister. As far as us just showing up at the facility. Rescue is relative. But do you honestly believe that guy would have released you otherwise?" He retorted hotly.
