*The next morning*
*Jessy's POV*
"Jess," the concerned whisper broke through my sleep, "Jessy." I heard again, followed by someone shaking me lightly. I unwillingly opened my eyes to find Tehya standing over me. "What's up?" I asked sleepily. "My mom called me, my dog's sick." She explained, "I got a flight home, Brian said he'd take me to the airport." "Absoloutly not!" I said as I got off the couch.
"Jessy you can sleep, it's not a big..." "No," I interrupted, "just let me get dressed." I ran up the stairs, threw on sweat pants and one of Zack's T-shirts, then returned to the living room. I walked over to the couch and shook Zack gently to wake him. His geen eyes opened sleepily and a smile spread accross his lips when he saw me.
"Babe, Tehya has to go back home." I began slowley, checking that he was awake enough to understand. "I'll explain it all later but right now I need to take her to the airport." He nodded and I gave him a quick kiss before heading out the door. "Let's go!" I said as I threw her suitcase into the trunk of Zack's car. We hopped in and headed for the airport.

"Thanks for letting me stay with you guys," Tehya said as she gave me a hug. "It was no problem. You're welcome back any time." "Maybe next time I could stay with Brian," she laughed as she winked. I shook my head and laughed, "maybe. Well, you better get going before you miss your flight. Text me and let me know how isabell's doing." "I will," she assured me as she dissappeared through the sliding doors.

I returned home to find Zack and Brian sitting in the kitchen, each with a cup of coffee. "Hi Jess," they greated me in unison. "Hi guys," I said as I poured myself some coffee. I winced as I sat down, just then being awake enough to feel the pain of the previous nights activities. "You two have fun last night?" He said before leisurly sipping his coffee. Zack's face turned red as a shy smile spread accross his lips. "I looked down at my cup of coffee, not wanting to answer the question either.
"Well onto a less awkward subject," Brian chuckled, "What I actually came over for is to tell you that we got a last minute spot on Download next week."
*Zack's POV*
"Awesome," I exclaimed, glad for the good news and the new subject, "when do we leave?" "Sunday," Brian explained. "That leaves one question," I said, turning to Jessy, "you coming?" "Of corse!" She said excitedly, "for one thing I couldn't be without you for that long and I've always wanted to go to download!" I couldn't help but laugh at how excited she was.
