Cherry Blossoms

Elliot wakes up and sees himself in his own bed. He looks around and yawns. He leaves and sees his parents at the table. He goes over and climbs onto one of the chairs. His mom looks at his dad. "Why were you and Jonathan in the same bed?" "He had a headache and we were tired..." 

"Elliot, we're only keeping Jonathan for a little while... don't go making a strong connection with him. They hear the door open see Jonathan. He sees Elliot and smiles. Elliot smiles and looks at his parents. "They're looking for any extended family or relatives..." 

Elliott nods and looks at Jonathan. He gets off his chair and goes over to him. He sees Jonathan look down. "Wanna watch something on TV?" Jonathan shakes his head. Elliot sighs and looks at his parents. He turns the TV on and they watch it. Jonathan looks at it and his eyes light up. 

Elliot turns to his parents and then to Jonathan. He leans over. "I'll always love you..." Jonathan smiles and leans into Elliot.

Jonathan wakes up covered in sweat. "Ha...." He tries to catch his breath and looks around. He gets up and leaves. He heads to the kitchen and gets a bowl of cereal. He sighs and finishes his food. He goes back to his room and gets dressed. He puts on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. 

He gets his jacket and shoes on and leaves. He walks to the little cafe down the street and opens the doors. He rubs his eyes and goes to the back. He washes his hands and takes his jacket off. He looks in his wallet and sees his favorite picture. He puts it in his wallet and puts an apron on. 

He goes to the front and his other coworkers are here. "Morning Jonathan!" "Morning Belle, morning Michael..." They go and do the same as Jonathan: washing their hands and putting their aprons on. Belle goes over to him. "Ever find that guy from the picture?" Jonathan sighs. 

"I'll never find him. The door charm dings and Jonathan looks up. He sees a guy with blonde hair and hazel eyes. He feels nauseous and looks at Belle. "Can you you guys do this shift... I don't feel too good..." "Go sit in the breakroom, Jonathan..." Jonathan sighs and heads there. 

He stops when the hears Belle scream. "You're Elliot Johnson, fashion designer and CEO of your own company..." He hears a hum and then hears another voice. "That's not Jonathan Ashford.... Is it?" "It is... do you know him?" Jonathan grabs a trash can and gets sick in it. 

"Yeah... he's someone I know..." Jonathan groans and sits on the floor. "I'll take him to the hospital..." Belle smiles. "Thanks, today's a busy day after we open..." Elliot smiles and nods. "I'll get him some medical..." 

He picks Jonathan up. His arm under his knees and across his shoulder blades. He carries him out and puts him in the front seat and gets in the driver seat. He leans over and buckles Jonathan's seatbelt. Elliot smiles. "Haven't seen you since we were kids... missed you Johnny..."
