BG woke up and headed to the kitchen to start coffee for JJ. He knows she has another long day and that she would be nervous with Coach Taylor coming to watch Oakley tonight. He also knows that the decision to go to UGA is weighing on her also. Now he is wanting to get his hands on the official who thought it was okay to talk to JJ like he did last night. He also knows that she handled it and he has to let it go . If he goes after him then he might as well kiss JJ goodbye. He realized last night that she wanted to tell him not for him to fix it or fight him for her but to share her day, her life and know that at the end of the day he would be there to make all the bad stuff go away. That is something that he wouldn't have done five years ago, he would have went and beat the hell out of the guy. That's what he did and that was one of the reasons he lost her. He can see she isn't the same person and neither is he. She may not have done it as a test but it was a test none the less, to see if he had changed or if they would go back to what tore them apart. Laying in bed, holding her as she slept he realized that all she wanted was that at the end of the day him and her and their love.
BG took her a cup of coffee up to the bathroom and set it on the counter telling her where it was. He then went back downstairs and fixed her some toast and eggs and packed her a lunch so she wouldn't be in a hurry and be able to spend a few minutes together before her crazy day started.
JJ comes to the kitchen and stops at her breakfast sitting on the table and her lunch beside her plate. She raises an eyebrow and BG said," I want to spoil you rotten, cause you deserve it JJ and this way we have a few minutes to talk before your crazy day starts. His tone scared JJ a little and she said ," okay"
BG said," I get it JJ, I get that you have to fight your own battles and I can't go out using my fists every time someone says or does something to you I don't like. Laying with you in my arms I realized that I had always tried to fix whatever problem you had and that was one thing that caused us to split. I realized that when you told me last night what he had said, that you didn't want me to fix it, you just wanted me to listen. That at the end of the day it is you and me and our love for each other and that we can get through anything at the end of the day if we lean on each other. It's not about fixing as it was about sharing and then letting you know that it's okay that I was still gonna be here."
JJ looks at him and said," you get it now, you really get it. That's all I wanted before, I wanted to tell you and you always felt like you had to fix it when I just wanted it to be like it was last night. When I walked out, you were there knew I needed you to hold me and you did. No questions just that quiet strength that at the end of the day you, me and us together was all that mattered in this world. That is all I have ever needed and for you to get that without me saying anything well it proves to me that we have both changed and grown up these 5 years apart. I love you Brantley, always have always will so please don't break me."
BG said," it took me a while to realize it but I love you Jennifer and have since I was 12 years old. You are it for me, today tomorrow and forever."
