Breaking Point

Breakfast

Justin woke the next day, slightly disoriented. Just a second ago, he was in a meadow, Jennifer in his arms, and both were laughing and playing in the flowers. When he looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms he smiled to himself.

"Well it looks like one thing stayed the same." He said to himself. He moved stray hair out of her face and stared down at her. "You're so beautiful." He whispered to her sleeping figure. He placed a small kiss on her cheek, and laid back. Everyone else was still asleep, even though it was almost noon. He started humming Jennifer's lullaby to himself, tracing circles around the back of her hands.

Jennifer's eyes flitted open, and she turned to face Justin, who stopped mid-song to look down at her. "Good morning, sunshine." He whispered, and she smiled.

"Morning. Nobody else is awake?" she asked, and Justin shook his head.

"Nope. It's just you and me." Justin said, his tone almost devious. Jennifer giggled and sat up. "What do you say to me and you getting breakfast?"

Jennifer blushed. "S-sure." She stammered, nervous. Her mind kept flitting back to Jeremy, and she started feeling guilty. Stop. This is what he wanted. She scolded herself, but she couldn't help it, even when she looked up at Justin's smiling face.

"Great. Get dressed." He said, and they both got up to get ready. Jennifer dressed in a skirt with purple, pink, blue, and yellow flowers all over it, with a lavender shirt and white-knit cardigan, and white ballet flats, while Justin dressed in a plain black shirt with regular skinny jeans, and purple shoes and hat. When he saw Jennifer's outfit, he chuckled, which made her look down at it, self-conscious.

"What?" she asked. He chuckled again.

"We match." He said, and she finally noticed, and giggled.

"I guess we do." She said. "Should we get going?" Justin nodded and they both grabbed their phones and Jennifer grabbed her key card, and they headed out.

Once they were halway down the hallway, everyone got up, and Maribelle and Celeste gave each other looks.

"Oh my God." They said at the same time, and laughed.

"Well it's about damn time!" Celeste cried, and Maribelle laughed, nodding her head.

"For a second, I thought Jen was gonna tell him no." Alex said, and Maribelle looked at him and smiled.

"She was, but I don't know what happened." She replied, and Alex gave her a smile.

"Should we go follow them?" Celeste asked deviously. Maribelle looked at her, thought it over, and nodded. "Well come on, hurry we gotta get dressed, they already left!" with that, the four teens scrambled around the room to get ready and out the door.

When they got to his car, Justin opened the passenger door for Jennifer and closed it when she was safely inside. When he got in the car, he started it, but didn't pull out of the parking lot. "Where do you wanna go?" he asked. Jennifer shrugged.

"I have no idea what's out here. I've never been out of Los Angeles." She replied, and they both laughed.

"Maybe we should've thought this through." Justin said, and they both laughed again, and Jennifer nodded.

"Well, let's just drive around and we'll see what we can find." She said, still giggling. Justin nodded his agreement and they headed off to the streets.
