Jesse & Nat- Perfect Day

Part One

Jesse stood alone deliberately not wanting to socialise with the others in the group. He slowly pulled his pack of cigarettes out from his jean pocket and proceeded to light it when stopping in her tracks right infront of Jesse was a young dark haired girl with a timid manner about her that intrigued Jesse as no one he knew was like that. The girl slowly raises her head from looking down on the ground and gently meets Jesse`s eyes making him drop his cigarette out his mouth,

"Shit!" Jesse curses wiping ash from his jeans making the girl let out a small laugh but not a mocking or cruel one in fact it was one of the happiest noises he had heard that instantly filled with ease as he laughed lightly,

"Hey uh I`m Jesse. I haven`t seen you around here before so guessing that your new"

"Cool name. Uh yeah my first time coming uh I`m Nat" Jesse nods slowly sensing her hesitant and knowing how scary it all feels coming to group sessions,

"Nat you know it is not so bad once you get your head around it all!" Nat smiles gratefully over at Jesse before exhaling slowly looking around at her surroundings and her mind wandering on back home and what her family was upto and then instantly regretted thinking about them as her heart ached with longing.

After the meeting Jesse took Nat to his favourite diner as they both eat and chat it was like Jesse had found someone on the exact wavelength as him and who got who he really was instantly. Nat notices how he self consciously fiddles with his hands when he was unsure on whether to say something or anytime he was feeling vulnerable, Nat places her hand calmly on top of his smiling reassuringly over at him,

"Uh Nat you fancy hanging out some more...I mean at mine I have playstation and uh a killer sound system" Nat chewed her lip slightly unsure but there was something about Jesse that filled her with ease which made her feel safe,

"Ok sure but uh Jesse can I ask you a question?"

"Sure" Nat leans closer and smiles at him,

"What exactly did you see in me today?"

"What?"

"Well I saw how you distance yourself from the others in the group...Why speak to me?" Jesse blushes slightly before laughing slightly amused how much Nat took in her surroundings,

"honestly Nat I was intrigued"

"Intrigued?"

"Yeah your not like the others...you are not like us" Nat frowns making Jesse shake his head before trying to explain further what he meant,

"Oh no uh it is a good thing believe me you don't want to be like me...I just meant your the only one in the group that genuinely deserves and needs the help" Nat expression softens as she feels her heart tugging as she senses a loneliness to this guy, she takes hold of his hand both of their eyes gazing at both hands interlocked in one another's. Jesse and Nat sat silently but comfortably in each others company as Jesse drove them back to his place when they got to his house Jesse lets them inside and once again lets out a curse mortified how much of a mess he had left it in, as he scrabbles around picking things up Nat lightly laughs and makes her way over towards the sofa,

"Jesse sit down you goof! I don't care for how messy things are" Jesse smiles and sits beside her,

"I am sorry though. And uh goof really Bitch?" Nat laughs resting her head onto Jesse`s shoulder,

"Really Bitch"
