Jason and Zac hopped into Jason's black mercedes.
"Cool car." Zac complemented.
"Thanks."
Jason started the engine and began to back out of the parking space he was in
"Want to pick out a CD to listen to?" Jason offered.
"Sure," Zac responded. "What do you have?"
"There's a CD case on the backseat. You can look through there."
"Okay cool." Zac replied reaching behind him and grabbing Jason's CD case. He began to flip through his CDs. Jason seemed to have a variety. He had everything from DMX~The Beach Boys. He even had *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees.
"You have a really wide variety!" Zac exclaimed.
"I know, don't I?" Jason smiled. "In case you were wondering, Melanie got the "Boyband" CDs for me. I never listen to them, they were just for her when she didn't have a car and I ended up hauling her everywhere."
"Suuuuure!" Zac joked. "You know you listen to them nonstop." Zac laughed.
"Ohh yeah! ALL the time!" Jason laughed along with Zac.
"Hey Mel just got me your new CD." Jason smirked remembering the night when Melanie bought him the new Hanson CD as a gag gift. "It's actually good."
"Thanks man." Zac replied. "Wait a second, are you saying our other CDs aren't good?"
"No, I'm jsut saying that it has an alternative sound to it and I like how you collaborated with Johnny Lang and John Popper. I like their music."
"Oh okay." Zac said a bit more chirpier.
"Here, put this one in." Zac interjected as he pulled out Dave Matthew's Band: Under the Table and Dreaming. "Number 7 is the best."
"I agree." Jason added.
Jason took the CD from Zac's hands and popped it in the CD player. He skipped the tracks to number 7. Soon the melody of 'Ants Marching' were blaring through Jason's car stereo system and both guys were singing along.

Taylor was laying in the hospital bed. The nurse had just came in to check on him and now was getting Melanie like Taylor politely requested.
****************************************************
Isaac and Melanie had been sleeping for over three hours now. Melanie was suddenly awaken bysomeone shaking her lightly. She slowly opened her eyes and she was faced with Isaac.
"Sweetie, your lover boy wants to see you."
Melanie smiled. She grabbed Isaac's hands that he was holding out to her and stood up. She stretcched and began her journey to Taylor's room.
When Melanie entered Taylor's room she saw those baby blue eyes she fell in love with.
"Hey baby." Melanie greeted.
"Hi." Taylor said softly.
"How are you feeling?"
"Okay. My head hurts, but that's about it."
"Ohh."
"I mean, I don't even know why I'm in the hospital. It's pointless, I got into a fight...whoop de do da! I mean I think they made such a big deal about nothing."
"Sweetie, you were unconcious." Melanie informed.
"Still." Taylor responded. "It's not THAT big of a deal."
"You're a big baby." Melanie teased Taylor.
"Thanks." Taylor sarcasticaly replied. "I love you too."
Melanie's smile turned into a frown when she heard Taylor say those three words.
"Babe, what's wrong?" Taylor asked.
"Taylor, we have to talk."
Taylor knew this wasn't a joking matter due to the tone Melanie was talking in.
"About what?"
"About us."
"What about us?" Taylor asked confused.
"Taylor, I'm really sorry I let this happen, this is all my fault. I understand if you hate me and you never want to see me again. I know I wouldn't want to see someone after their friends beat me up, but I just want to let you know that I will always love you. I know this may sound weird because we just met, but-"
"Melanie-" Taylor began before he was cut off by Melanie."
"Shh. Let me finish. I know we just met, but Taylor ever since I locked eyes with you across the club and then since we danced and made love, I've formed this obsession with your love. I feel like I need you all the time now." Melanie finished all the while starring into Taylor's eyes.
"Melanie listen to me." Taylor said grabbing her hand. "I've formed the same obsession, and it's not your fault at all, baby. I was the one that got myself into a fight, that doesn't make me think of you any lesser than I do. I will always love you, Melanie." Taylor recited.
Melanie leaned down and kissed Taylor softly and passionately on the lips.
"I will always love you too." Melanie replied.
"Good." Taylor responded.
"But Taylor-" Melanie began again.
"Yeah?"
"There's something else that I want to talk to you about."
"Okay..."
"Taylor tonight when we were making love I noticed you weren't wearing a condom." Melanie stated.
"Shit!" Taylor yelled as he smacked his head which only caused more pain towards it. "Ow, that hurt." He admitted.
"Babe, don't hurt yourself. I just want to ask you to promise me something." Melanie asked in an innocent tone.
"Anything."
"Please promise me that if I am pregnant that you'll always be here for me."
"Whoa Melanie, who said you were pregnant?"
"I'm not, but just in case. I mean I don't know the odds." Melanie informed.
"Oh. Well, I promise, but I mean that's like a REALLY big step don't you think?" Taylor asked really not wanting to deal with being a father right now.
"Well, yeah, I mean, I wasn't planning on having the baby, I just need someone there for me emotionally. You know?"
"Are you talking about abortion!?" Taylor asked in shock.
"Yeah..." Melanie hesitated.
