Jude's POV
"Hey Jude. I'm really, really sorry. I wasn't thinking. And you're right. I'm always telling you what to do and I shouldn't do that. You're old and mature now. You know how to handle your own problems and I shouldn't get involved in them. Unless it's very necessary. Connor's is an amazing boy and you two are really lucky to have eachother."
"Do you mean everything?"
"I wouldn't lie to you."
"Do you swear that everything you said is true?"
"Yes, of course Jude."
"Are you... okay with the fact that I'm dating Connor?"
"If I'd be against it I would have to be against Stef and Lena. And that will never happen."
I stand up and walk to her. I give her a warm hug and whisper: "Okay. I accept your apology."
"I love you."
"Love you too."
"By the way, Lena called. Jesus and Mariana are still doing fine. Ana too, she's just dealing with the fact that she lost her baby."
"Okay, that's good. Well, not the Ana part, but everything else is good."
"Yeah."
"Hey um... Is it okay if I ask Connor on a date?"
"Sure. Where do you want to go with him? The movie theaters, frozen yogourt?"
"I was thinking more of beach date. Also, can he sleep over? His dad has a buiness trip for the whole week."
"I'm sure that's okay with Lena and Stef, so yes."
"Okay thanks. I'll call him later."
"I'll be downstairs if you need anything."
I nod and go back on my bed. I lay there and play games on my phone.

"Hey you're calling early!" says Connor on the phone.
"Hey, and yeah. Callie's fine with us. She apologized and everything. Plus, it's okay for you to sleep over the whole week."
"Cool, I'll pack some clothes and I'll tell my dad to drop me off to your house."
"Okay, I'll see you then."
"Bye."
We hang up and I wait patiently until he arrives.
Connor's POV
"Hey dad. Since you're going on a buisness trip this week, can I stay at Jude's?"
"Um..." he waits a little before answering, "sure."
"Really?"
"I said I was trying to be okay with both of you. This is me trying."
"Thanks! Can you bring me there in 15 minutes?"
"Yeah sure."
When 15 minutes passes, I jump into my dad's car and drive to Jude's house.
Jude's POV
"Oh hello again!" I say to Connor as he walks into my room.
"Hey! It's been so long since I saw you." Connor says, although we both know that we saw eachother a couple hours ago.
He lays next to me.
"We're supposed to stay together the whole week." I say.
"I honestly don't think I'll make it through!"
I look at him with a foolish smile and we burst out in laughter.
"I'm kidding! It'll probably be the best week ever."
"It will be."
I smile and he smiles back.
"So, you want to play videogames or watch a movie?" I ask.
"A movie. So that when it's over we'll go to bed."
"Ah right. We have school tomorrow."
"Yeah. What movie are we watching?"
"I was thinking of a comedy. A classic. Dumb and dumber?"
"Never saw it. So great idea."
"You never watched that movie?"
"Nope."
"You're kidding."
"Not at all! I'm not that much of a movie fan."
"We don't have to watch a movie if you don't want to then."
"It's fine. We wont be able to cuddle if we play videogames."
"Is that the reason why you chose a movie over games?"
"Maybe."
"Well today is your lucky day. You get to watch a classic you never saw while cuddling with me."
"Best night ever." He smiles.
"C'mon, let's go in the living room. Bring a blanket."
Connor takes the blanket on my bed and follows me downstairs. Callie is preparing her lunch for school tomorrow.
"Hey Connor. What are you guys up to?"
"We're watching a movie." I say.
"Which one?"
"Dumb and dumber."
"I've never seen that one! Can I watch it with you?" She pauses. "Oh... is this like a cuddling movie night?" She says with a little smile.
"Maybe. And what is it with everyone and that movie? Has anybody seen it?"
Callie and Connor laughs.
"I'll let you two alone. I'm gonna be in my room if you need anything."
"Okay." I say.
I put the movie in the television and sit next to Connor. He wraps an arm around me and pulls me closer.
"So... Callie really is accepting us."
"Yeah. I don't think she really was against us in the first place. She was just scared that something would happen to me like it happened to Jesus and Mariana."
"I get that. How are they doing anyway?"
"Well Lena and Brandon are coming back home tomorrow because Mariana and Jesus are doing really great."
"That's awesome. I told you it was going to be okay."
"Yeah. How are you always right?"
"I don't know. I just always have faith in everything. Like us, actually."
"You have faith in us?"
"Of course I do. If I didn't, my dad would've won and I wouldn't be here cuddling with you."
I don't answer. I just smile, lay my head on his shoulder, and press play on the movie.
Connor's POV
I look at the time. It's 9 o'clock.
"Hey, Jude?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really tired. Can we finish the movie tomorrow?"
"Sure."
We walk upstairs and into Jude's room. I pick up a pyjama and he does too.
"You can sleep in Jesus's bed if you want."
"Nah. I don't want to sleep in his bed."
"What? Why not?"
"Your bed looks so much more comfy."
"Haha very funny. You're sleeping in Jesus's bed."
"C'mon we could cuddle even more."
"I don't think Callie will approve that we sleep in the same bed."
"It's fine Jude!" Callie yells from her room. "Let the door open though!"
Jude and I laugh and get into our pyjamas. We jump in his bed and wrap eachother in our arms.
"I've been thinking about something." says Jude.
"Yeah?"
"I think we should come out to school tomorrow. Lena will be there, she already know, but if something goes wrong, then we'll have her on our side."
"Okay, but I thought you wanted to wait a little before telling everyone."
"That was before I spend this whole day with you. I don't think I'll be able to hide how I'm feeling."
"Is that really what you want?"
"Yes. Is it okay with you?"
"Of course. So tomorrow, tell me when you're ready and we'll hold hands."
"Okay. Hey I almost forgot. Friday, when you were at the hospital, they announced that there was going to be a pratice for something at school."
"A practice? For what?"
"Just in case there's a shooting or something like that in school. We're suppose to hide in a corner until they say that everything is fine."
"I hope we'll be in the same class when the practice happens."
"Why?"
"So we can cuddle in the corner."
"You really like cuddling, uh?"
"Depends on the person I'm cuddling with."
"Same here."
"My eyes are closing by themselves."
"Me too."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight. Sweet dreams."
"You too."
I kiss Jude's forehead and we both fall asleep.
