Before, After.

Three.

Waking up the next morning Jon and I still lay the same as we did last night. Slowly, I lifted my head up so I could get a good look at him. The end of his lips pulled into a tiny smile as his eyes remained closed. It was actually very cute. I looked over his face for what seemed like a million time. There wasn't a flaw, he was gorgeous. It blew my mind that anyone could every hurt him. I brought my hand up and rubbed the side of his face gently, feeling the scar just to the side of his right eye. It made him wince and the smile soon turned into a frown. Right then I took my chance, moving my body up I kissed the scar softly. But when I found myself moving back down to my space Jon's eyes opened and he looked at me confused.

"What are you doing?" He asked in a sleepy voice.

"I just don't understand.." I trailed off.

"About?" He stretched before placing his arms around me again.

"How anyone could hurt you. Sure you have that mean side but I bet deep down you're the sweetest person ever."

I heard him chuckle a little making me look up to his face again. He shook his head slowly as he brought his hand to my hair brushing it out of my face, "I'm not good Crys. I'm a horrible person."

I set up and looked at him, "That doesn't mean it's okay for people to hurt you!"

He sighed loudly before he crawled out of my bed. I suddenly found myself looking at him in awe. His body was toned like he worked out daily, I had completely forgotten that he only slept in his boxers. 

"Please, I don't wnt to talk about it!" He said a bit angrier.

"Fine, but promise me something.." I trailed off.

"What?" He asked as he paced my floor.

"If they ever try to hirt you again, come here.."

He looked at me a bit confused. Like he couldn't believe I had just said that. I crawled closer to him and grabbed his hand, "Promise me, please."

"Why Crystal?" He asked looking at our hands.

"I want to save you Jon, I know you deserve better. Even if you don't think you do you.."

He slowly nodded his head making a grin spread across my face. I noticed a few tears had slipped from his eyes and I wiped them with the hand I wasn't holding his with as he looked up at me. Without any words I brought my lips to his slowly. Believe me, I never really did stuff like this. Before I had come here I never even kissed a guy, Jon was my first kiss. Which was pretty embarrassing. I felt his tongue rub against my bottom lip and I pulled away quickly.

He chuckled lowly before placing his forehead against mine, "You're so innocent. It's cute. But loosen up, trust me Crys.."

"Should I?" I whispered.

"No," he laughed, "But you're going to."

I smiled before reconnecting our lips again.

After Jon and I made out I went downstairs and started to cook us breakfast. I put biscuits in the oven and started making gravy on the stove. Feeling Jon walk up behind me made me smile as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I hope you like biscuits and gravy." I chuckled turning in his arms.

"Sounds great." He said pecking my lips softly.

My entire overlook of Jon was completely wrong. Sure he had his moments but, he just needed someone who cared. I certainly didn't mind being that someone.

"So what are you going to do today?" I asked as he took a seat at my tiny kitchen table.

"Well I was going to pick my car up from the shop then head to the record store before going out to my quiet place." He explained as he watched me cook.

"Sounds fun, what time should I be ready?" I laughed as I pulled the biscuits out of the oven.

"Well, how about we eat. I go home, change, come back, then we go."

I nodded as I set the food on the table, "It's a plan then!"

After Jon had left I walked back to my room to pick out something to wear. I decided to just slip on my favorite yellow sundress and my black flats. The I pulled my bangs back and braided them before pinning them to the side of my hair. As for makeup all I did was add a bit of lip gloss and, tada, I was ready! Now I just had to wait on Jon.

Walking back to my living room I picked up at little then sat down on my couch. Part of me figured it would take Jon awhile to get back because he lived in the middle of nowhere but when he opened my door not 10 minutes after he left I was a bit shocked.

"That didn't take long." I smiled standing up.

"I know a shortcut." He chuckled.

I smiled before looking down to my feet. Jon had changed into a pair of worn out jeans, a green shirt, and a pair of boots. Simple, but he still looked good. I noticed him walking closer to me before he grabbed the end of my dress with one of his hands.

"You didn't have to get all dressed up doll." He chuckled lightly.

"I always where dress." I mumbled as I smiled.

He grinned wide at me, "You're so cute and innocent! Maybe I can break out of that huh?"

I shrugged my shoulders as my heart rate picked up. Jon laughed before walking towards my door with me right behind him.
