Justice:

I woke up to thunder and lightning. Shivering, I pull the blanket closer to my body and look at the clock. It reads 1:27. Then there's a huge crash and lightning illuminates the whole room.

nope. nope. nope.

My mind thinks rapidly.
Jake won't care if I crash with him tonight, right?
While I'm in the middle of that debate with my subconscious, an even bigger clash of lightening and thunder hits. The part of my brain wanting to be with Jake wins almost instantaneously as I wrap the blanket around my small frame and basically run to Jake's room. I don't have to worry about being loud because of the thunder.

Jake's in his bed, fast asleep with no blanket, laying on his stomach. He looks so peaceful... I can't wake him up. I'll just have to suck it up and sleep through the thunder.

"I know you're there JJ." Jake mumbles

"Sorry Jake. Going to bed." I quietly explain

"Come here you dork. I know you're afraid of thunder and lightning." he laughs

I tiptoe over to him, standing at the edge of his bed.

"You're so cute." Jake laughs

I'm glad there's no lightning to light up the room right now because I'm blushing.

Jake grabs my waist and pulls me down to his bed, holding me close. He still so warm! I don't understand!

"Jake." I whisper

"Yeah Jay?"

"Why are you acting like this? For the past two weeks I've been convinced you hated me." I say quietly, not looking in his eyes.

Jake tightens his grip on me, "Can we talk tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Just promise me something?"

"Of course."

"Promise you won't leave?"

"I'm never going to again." He says

"Good." I bury my head in his chest and fall asleep.


When I wake up, Jake's not there.
Confused I put on my black skinny jeans, white t-shirt, and olive green jacket with sweater sleeves on. Then I put my black beanie over my long brown hair in an attempt to tame my bed head. Then I go to find Jake.

Jake's up making breakfast. I smile, taking a moment to watch him.

"Good morning." I say quietly

"Good morning." Jake beams, "Billy is having breakfast with Sue Clearwater so I decided to make us breakfast."

"Well thanks Black." I smile

"What do you want to do today?" Jake says while flipping pancakes

"Well I'd love to hear the story of your hair.... and tattoo... and being part of the steroid squad."
