Jonathan puts the jacket on and leaves. He sees Elliot typing on his phone. He goes over and Elliot looks up. "Ready?" Jonathan nods. "Sorry about me slamming the door... I was upset..." "I-it's fine..." Elliot smiles and grabs his keys. "Where do you wanna go for breakfast?"

Jonathan looks at Elliot. "I'd usually get something from the cafe I work at..." Elliot nods. "What do they have there?" "Coffees, Lattes, donuts, muffins..." Elliot looks at Jonathan. "Do they have good blueberry muffins?" "I hope.. I wasn't there to bake them..." Elliot smiles and they leave.

"How far are we from the cafe?" "3 miles..." Elliot heads over to a nice, expensive looking car and Jonathan stops. "I-is that your car?" Elliot turns to him. "Yeah..." Jonathan nods and Elliot unlocks the door. They get in and Jonathan buckles his seat belt.

Elliot drives off and sees Jonathan messing with his fingers. "You okay?" "Yeah..." Jonathan feels a hand on his thigh and he jumps. "You don't have to be nervous around me..." Jonathan looks at him.

"I don't know you... yeah I was adopted by your parents but... two years and we didn't talk and I always watched TV and I was alone... I was adopted by distant family members but they didn't like me and I went back to the adoption center where I was..."

Jonathan looks at Elliot through tears and looks away. Elliot nods. "Elliot... why'd did the boys there do that to me..." Elliot sighs. "I don't know why... what about the other little boys?" "No... just me..." "What were you like when you were there..."

"I would try to make friends and never would..." Elliot nods. "Did you like it at my parents' house?" Jonathan smiles. "Only family I really had..." Elliot sees the cafe coming up and parks in the parking lot. They get out and walk there. "Morning Belle! Morning Michael..."

Michael looks at them and back to his phone. "Morning Jonathan!" Belle smiles and looks at the guy. "Elliot Johnson..." Elliot sighs. "Yep, that's me..." "You know Jonathan?" "Yeah..." "How?" Jonathan looks at her. "Don't ask how..." Belle smiles and pulls him aside to a private area.

"Was he a fortunate one night stand?" Jonathan shakes his head. "No, We met when we were younger..." Belle smiles. "Were the two of your together or are you together now?!" Jonathan looks at her. "No..." "Then how do you know each other..." Jonathan looks down.

"It's complicated..." "More complicated then a one night stand?" Jonathan nods and they go back to the area where Elliot is. They see Elliot and Michael talking. Elliot crosses his arms. "How do you even know Jonathan..." Michael smirks at him. Elliot glares at him.

"You don't have to worry about how I know him..." Michael turns to Jonathan. "Hey, Belle and I were going out for drinks tonight... wanna join?" Jonathan looks at Elliot. "Don't ask him if you can go.. he's not your father..."
