A month had passed since Matt and Taylor had admitted how they felt about each other, and true to their word they were the best of friends. Matt was no longer grouchy and distant, they'd spend the time when the guys were partying snuggled up on the sofa watching Disney movies. It was as though life couldn't be more perfect for them, but was it enough?

Matt found himself staring at Taylor more often and less subtly than he did before, now they'd both agreed they were off limits to the other he was beginning to want her more. He'd find himself jealous of any guy that gave her attention, and soon it came that Matt would spend his nights sleeping alone with his Mickey Doll rather than in the other room with his best friends and the girl of his dreams.

"Morning" Taylor yawned, joining Matt in the kitchen whilst he ate pop-tarts.

She wrapped an arm around his middle and leaned into his shoulder.

"You sleep okay?" he asked her fondly, resting his head on top of hers.

She shook her head 'no'

"I had a weird dream, I keep having them" she pouted, resting her cheek on her hand

Matt handed her his last pop-tart, which she took gratefully.

"Next time you can't sleep, come get me" Matt said, drinking his juice before standing up and shouting for the boys to get up.

Taylor nibbled on her pop-tart, watching Matt do his job. Soon enough the boys were sitting sleepily on the sofa, drinking coffee whilst Matt was ranting about the Day Sheet and how no one bothers to read it. Taylor laughed whilst he was mid-rage and Matt turned to her, raising an eyebrow.

"Something funny?" he asked, folding his arms.

"No" She said, straight-faced before bursting out laughing.

Matt smirked, not taking his eyes off her.

"Jack, What do we do to people who laugh when I'm talking?" He said coolly

Jack screamed "Torture, Torture!" Causing Taylor to scream and run into the bunk area.

The other boys were too sleepy to move, but Matt and Jack chased Taylor into the other room. Matt Pinned a laughing Taylor down on the bed, straddling her waist so she couldn't move.

"What are you doing?!" She laughed, trying to free herself from Matt's grasp.

"I don't believe you've been here long enough for Torture?" He laughed teasingly

"What's Torture?" she asked, laughing.

"You'll see" he laughed, pinning her wrists next to her head.

Jack pulled back the curtain and revealed what he was holding, a cup of ice.

"No Jack, No!" She laughed hysterically

Jack poured the cup down the front of Taylors T-shirt, Matt holding her down so she couldn't wriggle free. Then Jack skipped away singing 'Torture, Torture.' When Matt finally let her free she stood up and emptied the ice from her shirt.

"I'll get you for this James Flyzik" She said, giving him the evil eye and poking his chest.

After sending the boys off to their interview, Matt sat on the bus and realized he hadn't seen Taylor since this morning. He went to look for her and found her in her bunk, wrapped in a blanket.

"What's up?" He asked, concerned.

"You made me cold" she pouted, shivering

"You're still cold?" he asked, sliding behind the curtain and sitting on her bed

Matt was worried, it had been two hours since they had chased her she should have definitely warmed up by now.

"I think I'm sick" She pouted

"I'm so sorry Taylor" Matt apologized, sliding himself under the covers with her and pulling her into him.

Taylor gratefully pushed herself into Matt's chest to warm up.

"It's not your fault" She mumbled into him

Matt rubbed her back soothingly and kissed her forehead.

"Do you want me to call a Doctor?" He asked

She shook her head "I think I'll be okay, I'm starting to warm up"

"You wanna try and sleep it off?" Matt asked

"Will you stay with me?" She asked, pulling away slightly so she could look up at him

Matt hesitated for a moment before nodding "Yeah, I'll stay"

Taylor grinned "I think that's the first time you've agreed to do something without checking your schedule"

"Well, You're worth it" he smiled, adjusting so she could lay her head on his chest.

The boys returned an hour or so later unsure why Matt hadn't met them outside their interview.

"Maybe he got eaten, by a whale" Jack gasped

"Maybe he got lost" Rian reasoned

"Or Maybe he got Lucky" Alex winked, pulling back the curtain to Taylors bunk and revealing them both, sleeping.

Alex and Jack giggled whilst Rian and Zack shook their heads, leaving the two to sleep the band crowded around the Xbox.

It was half an hour later when Taylor woke up, feeling much better than she had done before. She only moved slightly not wanting to wake Matt. She turned to face him, admiring his sleeping form. It had killed her when they agreed to be friends but in her head, being friends was better than nothing at all and maybe they still had a chance. She ran her fingers lightly through his hair, and traced lightly around his face, making him stir lightly.

"Mm...Taylor" Matt groaned lightly, leaning more against her hand.

"Hey sleepyhead" she whispered, playing with his head and resting her chin on his chest.

"How long did I sleep for?" He mumbled, finally waking up

"I don't know, a while. I've only been up a few minutes" she confessed

"Are you feeling better?" Matt asked, pressing the back of his hand against her cheek to test if she was still cold.

"A lot better, thanks" She smiled

Matt smiled in return, letting his hands rest on Taylors hips while she played with his hair.

They finally decided to go see what the guys were up to when they heard Jack scream. Walking out into the lounge they found Jack laying on his back with his legs in the air.

"What are you doing Jack?" Taylor Laughed.

"I'm Giving Birth God Dammit!" Jack Squealed
