*Jen's pov*
I woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee. I realized I was wearing one of Nats tee shirts. Oh fuck he probably changed me and saw the scars. I nervously walk into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Jen!" He says
"Hey." I say
"I made pancakes and coffee and bacon." He says.
"Thank you" I say.
"Thank you for yesterday. I had a lot of fun." He says.
"Aw thank you for taking me." I say.
We silently finish our food and I head up to my bedroom to get dressed.

                    *Nats pov*
Something seems wrong with Jen. She isn't talking much. She went up to her room to get dressed while I finished cleaning up the kitchen. Jen has a job interview today so I decide that today is a good day to check out that song that Alex wrote. I'm not sure how I'll react. But I want to be alone.

               *Jen's pov*
I don't want Nat to think somethings wrong. I'm just nervous for the job interview. I have an interview at a comic store at 12pm. It's 10:30am right now. I know it's not a huge deal or anything but i would love to work here. It's right by the cafe Nat works at. I decide to wear a black sleeveless dress and black converse with a long necklace. I quickly straighten my hair, put on my makeup, and head downstairs. It's 11:15 now. I see Nat doing dishes and I run up and hug him from behind. He turns around and looks amazed.
"Babe you look amazing" he exclaims.
"Aw thanks" I smile.
"Hey babe I should get going, I don't want to get caught up in traffic and be late" I say.
"Okay love, good luck and stay safe. Text me when you get there so I know you're safe." He says.
He's so cute when he's worried.
"Okay i will." I say as I walk out the door.

                   *nats pov*
The second I hear the door click, I race into Alex's room and find his notebook. I flip through it until I see a page titled, 'colorful raindrops.' As I hold the notebook, I feel my hands start to shake. These lyrics were good.

"Sometimes the unbreakable
Breaks in half
Sometimes the unexpected
Happens too
Sometimes the inexcusable
Is excused"

Those lyrics really got to me. I started to cry but I forced myself to stay strong. I had to turn this into a song for him. I decided that I couldn't take anymore of this. It was too heart breaking. The clock reads 1:30pm. I decide to take a shower so I can was away my bad thought. I walk to my room and pick out yet another jumper. I hated wearing long sleeves on hot days but I couldn't let Jen see. She'll leave me. This jumper was gray with the 1975 logo on it. I grab black skinny jeans and I go into the bathroom. I take my clothes off and look in the mirror. I see scars. And I hate them. I jump into the shower and it stings at first because of the cuts but I get used to it. I get out of the shower at the clock reads 2:10. Jen texts me.
"Hey babe, I got the job!! But I'm going out with coffee with a friend. I'll be back at around 5 probably. Xoxo"
I smile at the text and put my phone in my pocket. Then I get an idea. I'm going to make dinner. I decide on chicken Alfredo, breadsticks, salad, and red wine. I have around 3 hours. I still have to go to the store. I grab my wallet and keys and run out the door. I drive to the closest grocery store and grab everything I need. I decide to buy some chocolates and flowers too. I know I bought flowers yesterday but they smell nice and look pretty. So i throw some roses on the conveyer belt thing and I get out my debit card and pay. As I'm running to the car, I notice there's a redbox so I decide to get some movies. I get Children of the Corn and Halloween. As I get in the car I notice I'm almost out of gas. Great. I stop to the gas station and wait for what seems like hours. I check the time. 3:15. Shit I have an hour and 45 minutes. I race home and turn the oven on and start cooking.
                            *1 hour and 20 minutes later*
Okay I have 25 minutes left. The foods done, I just need to set the table and light some candles. The minute I finish pouring the wine, I hear the door open.

                          *jens pov*
I walk into the house and smell Italian food. What is this.
"Hey babe, what's this for?" I ask.
"I just wanted to be a nice boyfriend. Have a seat" he says.
"Aw okay. Thank you for this." I say.
"It's no problem. So tell me, how did everything go?" He asks.
"Well, I got there and they interviewed me and stuff and then they just decided that I got the job. They said they really liked me. I start Monday the same time you do, 8:00." I say excitedly.
"Yay that's great!" He exclaims.
We finish eating our food and I go upstairs to change into sweatpants while he cleans up the kitchen. I decide on a pair of sweatpants and one of his tee shirts. I head downstairs and he has movies set up. We watch Halloween. I put my head on his shoulder and he says something.

*Nats pov*
"Jen?" I ask.
"Yeah?" She asks.
Suddenly I get an idea. I slowly lean in and our lips meet. I feel fireworks inside of me. I think this is love. I think I'm in love with her. The kiss gets heated and we end up making out for around 10 minutes until we decide to stop and finish the movie. After the first movie I look at her and she's asleep. Awee. I carry her up to my bedroom and turn the lights off. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her forehead.
"Goodnight, love." I whisper.

OMG THEY KISSED YAY!! In the next chapter I might skip like a month or 2 because this story is going too slow lol
