Julia's POV When I woke up,Marie was still sleeping. It was still really early so I couldn't blame her. Anyway,I think she needs the rest. After all that drama,I couldn't possibly imagine what she's feeling right now. I've never really gotten my heart broken before. Except for Ben,he was just a prick. It was such a mistake dating him. He's a complete womanizer. That's just a summary of him. I did cry and did a few psychotic things when we broke up but my heart never actually finished breaking. So I don't know what she's feeling. And I hope I don't ever. I just feel so bad for her. I never really liked Steven. He just had a really bad aura coming off of him whenever he's around. He looks extremely innocent,so innocent you wouldn't even guessed that he's a jerk.
I finished getting ready for my morning with Tom. I poured myself a glass of orange juice and drank some before cringing at the aftertaste of brushing my teeth. I leaned against the counter next to the fridge,thinking about Tom,Marie and Brady at the same time. We're all facing problems. You know about Tom already. Marie's having a tough time with Steven,and Brady's being harassed by Jane. She just won't leave him alone. Does she have any dignity? I groaned,rubbing my temples. I finished the last few gulps of my juice and washed the glass. I pulled the sleeves of my burgundy sweater further down my arms as the cool wind coming from the open window touched my skin. I walked silently to my room,grabbing a piece of paper and writing down a small message for Marie. After that,I slipped the note on the kitchen table. I took my yellow raincoat that was hanging on the coat rack next to the front door and shrugged it on. It's pouring outside. I grabbed the spare keys,my purse and got out,going down the elevator to the lobby. When I reached the bottom, John smiled. I beamed and waved,my keys jingling in my hands as I did. I decided to wait outside for him. I stood on the steps,leaning against the railing.
Tom Watson,you're late. I thought.
Up above,clouds were turning a slight grey colour and spitting down light rain. Puddles were beginning to form at the irregular bumps along sidewalks.

I pursed my lips. I was really looking forward for my morning out with Tom. The weather was really dampening my mood. He's most probably gonna cancel today. I mean,he was suppose to be here 30 minutes ago.
I waited a few more minutes. As I was about to head back inside,I heard the sound of pitter patter. I turned my head around,my left hand on the railing. I saw none other than Tom jogging towards me with a bouquet of colourful flowers in his right hand as he jogged lightly towards me. I shook my head with a smile that I can't control.
Oh boy. I thought again.
He wasn't wearing a dress shirt or a tie. Which was weird to me since that's all I ever see him wearing. He still dressed smart though. A white button down shirt and his jeans were dark and rip-free. His black leather jacket hugged his body attractively.
I stuffed my hands into the pockets of my yellow raincoat when the cool wind decided to hit me again but this time along with some rain. I fixed my grey beanie and pulled up my hood,pushing my hands back into my pockets for maximum warmth. He was getting closer this time,walking to me,until the roof of the building covered him,and sheltered him from the rain. He didn't say anything. He just smiled at me,his hair,wet like a dog. I couldn't help but smile back at how ridiculous this looks. He held out the flowers to me,with a childish grin.
