Jenni's POV
Doc, Einie, and I just got back from an awesome trip to the future. Doc said that he was only going there for a few supplies, but before leaving we took a detour. He only showed me around a little. So much changes over time. Marty was right about the hoverboards and the shoes. Marty. I miss him even though I'm not suppose to right now. It dawns on me that we aren't together anymore. My mood dropping even more.
I'd like to go talk to him. Maybe if he's okay with it, we can still be friends. But sadly I don't want to be just friends. I want him to stay mine. I nervously look up to ask Doc to take me to Marty's. "Doc?" I call, only partially looking at him. "Yes Jenni?" he answers, looking over to smile at me quickly before having to look back at the road. "Can you drop me off at Marty's?" I ask nervously. His head snaps over to me, his smile widening. I'll take that as a yes. "Of course my dear." He grins and takes off towards mine and Marty's neighborhood.
The rest of the ride was silent. A few minutes later, we pulled into the neighborhood. Each turn felt shorter than the last. Then bam! We're on Marty's street. Doc pulls into the driveway and quickly turns the headlights off just in case anyone inside was asleep. I sit there for a moment and take a deep breath. I can do this. I can talk to him broken up or not.
I turn to Doc and try to smile, but it doesn't work as well as I want it to. "Don't worry Jenni, everything will be fine. Just talk to him." Doc places his hand on my shoulder and gives a small smile. I smile back and nod my head. " I hope so." I mumble softly, unsure if he heard me or not. I unclip my seatbelt and slowly get out of the car.
I give a little wave, mouthing bye and gently shutting the door. Doc holds up his hand with a smile and then slowly backs out of the driveway. I watch until I can't see the lights on the back of the car anymore.
I look up to the house. I wonder how I'll get in without being noticed. I go around and find Marty's window. When I do find it, I see that he's fallen asleep with the light on. I guess he was just as upset as I was. I try opening it. He usually he never locks it. I hear the familiar squeak of the window opening. Yes! The one time he doesn't lock the window and thankfully it's tonight.
I climb through, trying not to make any noise. I turn and quickly shut the window back. When I'm safely on the ground again, I walk over to Marty's bed and sit down on the edge. I sit there and watched as he slept. I don't think it would hurt if I laid here with him. I crawled to his side, still leaving space in between us and laid there watching him sleep. He didn't look very peaceful. I wish I could make the pain go away.
I want to touch him and curl up to him. But I can't. I loosely curl my arms together, holding myself. I just lie there until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Sleep takes me into its arms and cradles me into a dreamless sleep.
Marty's POV
I woke up and saw the light sting in my eyes. Oops, I forgot to turn the light off. I was about to roll over and turn off the light, but something else in my bed caught my eye. Jenni. I smile softly at her sleeping form. What is she doing here and where has she been? I shake my head, kind of pushing the thought in the back of my mind, and just decided to be happy that she was here.
Speaking of which, I wonder how she got in here. My parents always lock the front door before they go to bed. Unless she did what I think she did. I bet she climbed through my window. I mean that's the only possible way she could have gotten in. I honestly don't remember locking it. Most of the time I don't, but sometimes I do. I'm glad I didn't remember to lock it this time.
I smile, just happy that she's here. She's here, she's really here and in my bed too. It's been awhile since she was in my bed like this. I can't hold back the urge any longer. I want to kiss her. I no longer feel angry at her, just regretful. I carefully lean over and kiss her gently on the cheek. Jenni starts to move and stir in her sleep. Uh oh. I think I woke her up.
Her eyes slowly flutter open. They look sleep dazed and glossy. She stares at me as if time has stopped. Her cheeks turn pink when her eyes focus on my red shirt. For a moment I look down at myself. Shit, I don't think I'm wearing any pants. I remember getting dressed for bed, but most of the time I don't wear pants. I guess I might have forgot to this time.
I discreetly move my leg slightly and it confirms my suspicion. I look back to her and grin, trying not to be weird or anything. She returns my smile. "Hi." I start, trying to do what I was going to do on the phone. "Hi." She replies shyly. I want to reach out to touch her, but I don't just in case. "Jen I, I'm so sorry. I should have believed you. I feel like a horrible boyfriend for not recognizing my own girlfriend." I explain to my best ability. Her eyes shift a little to the side. I wonder what she's thinking.
Her eyes finally shift back to me. "What made you notice the difference?" She asks softly. "The earrings. You weren't wearing any yesterday." I blush feeling like an idiot for not noticing that. I guess it was mainly the thought of her cheating on me that made me not see it. I was too upset and distraught to notice the difference right away. Jen nods her head and just stares at me.
I should ask why she's here, but I already know the answer. She wants to talk to me like I do her. "So." Is all I can get out. "You're not mad at me anymore right?" She asks, her eyes peer down to her hands then back up again. I shake my head. "No. The only one I should be mad at is myself." I smile, wanting to assure her. I slowly take my hand and reach out to cup her cheek. Her cheek is warm and tender.
Jen leans into my touch a few seconds later, taking her hands and wrapping them around my arm then placing them on mine. "You still want me after what happened?" I asked, feeling hopeful. Jen takes a deep breath then lets it out. Jen nods and smiles, her eyes tearful but not a single one falls. A heavy feeling in my chest that I didn't know I had disappears and I feel light and happy again. I lean over and kiss her on the forehead. She starts to pout a little. I chuckle and then kiss her lips like she wanted. After about a minute, I pull away.
Her hands drop from my arm back to herself. I caress her cheek with my thumb. "Why don't you take off your shoes and come up to me." Jen smiles with a light blush dusting her cheeks. I glance over and see her kicking off her shoes with her feet. A light thud is heard when each shoe drops on the ground. Jen scoots closer and curls into me, her head nuzzled on my chest. I wrap my arms comfortably around her waist. I feel the rise and fall of her chest against my body, signaling she's close to sleep.
I kiss her cheek since her head is turned to the side. "I love you Jen." I whisper into the thin air. I love her so much. I never want anything to happen to her. Also, I'm never going to believe Jennifer again after this. She's now lost me as a friend for pulling something like this. I'm glad everything worked out in the end at least. I squeeze Jen pressing her close to me as sleep came to visit me and showed me its dreams. A happy and peaceful sleep.
