Ella's Outfit After The Shower ^^^

~~~

Cautiously rolling out of bed, trying not to wake Jackson up, I get myself into the shower before making my way downstairs to make breakfast for Jackson and I. As I walk down the stairs I can hear that someone is already in the kitchen, I make my way in.

"Morning sweetheart!" Christina brightly chirps, a bit too loud for the morning.

"Oh, morning," I reply, turning my head and noticing Charlotte was sitting at the breakfast bar munching away on her French toast with ice cream. "Good morning Charlotte," I say giving her a cuddle. She giggles before giving me a cheesy grin and mumbles a good morning with a mouth full of food.

"Would you like some French toast, Ella?" Christine asks.

"Uh, yeah, if there's enough," I reply.

"Oh, of course, I've made some for Jackson too." She explains.

"Alright, I'll go see if he's awake." Christine nods in response as I make my way up the stairs towards Jackson's room.

Jackson.

Jackson.

Jackson.

He is who has brought the walls down that stopped me from being the person I am. I have been able to let him in and be a part of the messed up life I call mine.

I knew that when I brought him to meet my brothers and my dad, that I loved him. Jackson and I weren't even dating then, but I knew that if I felt that way about him I couldn't just turn them down, and finding out that Jackson felt the same way about me made me feel as though life wasn't all that bad but was finally starting to feel like I belonged here, in peoples lives who care about me and love me for who I am.

"What are you thinking about, Blossom?" At the sound of his voice, I realise that I am standing at his door, leaning on the door frame.

"Uh, nothing important. Breakfast is ready, by the way." I say, running both sets of fingers through my long, brown hair.

"Okay, can you help me get out of here?" He asks, referring to his bed. I nod in response and make my way towards him. Picking up his crutches and walking over to him, I carefully get him situated onto them without hurting him. Once, Jackson is stable we make our way downstairs.

"Jackie!!" Charlotte shrieks. Jackson glares at her, while I try to contain my giggles.

"Charlotte, you now know not to call me that, I'm not a girl." He scolds her.

"Well, Charlotte I think its a cute name, I might start using it. Is that okay, Jackie?" I tease.

Jackson groans as he makes his way over to his mum and kisses her on her forehead, mumbling a good morning.

"Morning hun. Go sit, I'll bring your plate over. You too, Ella." Both, Jackson and I nod in response and make our way over to the dining table. I help Jackson get into a seat and then I sit in the chair next to him.

"Did you sleep well, Blossom?" Jackson asks. I turn in my seat so my head and body is facing Jackson

I chuckle, "I should be asking you that, Jackie." Jackson glares at me but still answers.

"Yes, I did, especially with you there." He smirks.

"Cocky much," I mumble under my breath.

"What was that you just said?" He says with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh, nothing." I wave him off, smirking.

"Well I know your weakness and I will use it as an advantage if you don't tell me what you said." I scoff.
