Marcus' POV:

It was early in the morning. I had been tossing and turning in my bed all night thinking about Bree. Not specifically Bree now, but her face when I told her I'd be leaving.

-Flashback-

I reached their house and knocked their house and knocked softly on the door. Bree opened it. "Hey!" She exclaimed and gave me a hug. I embraced her. As soon as she let go, she noticed that I was frowning. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"I'm leaving Bree. Forever," I said softly. "What are you talking about?" She asked. Tears started to roll down her cheek. "I'm leaving because I want to be happy," I replied. "You're not happy with me?" She asked.

"You were the first person to ever make me happy. It's my father. He was the one preventing me to be happy. You have to understand, if I stay here, I will never be happy ever again. He will forbid it," I explained.

"Please don't leave me," She said crying. I gave her a hug. Tears rolled down my cheek as well. "I love you," I whispered softly. "I love you too. So much," She replied. I let go and wiped her tears off her face with my fingers.

"I will never forget you," I said softly. "I won't either," She said. I softly gave her a kiss on the lips. Hoping it wasn't the last time I would see her beautiful face. We said our final goodbyes. She went inside her house and I walked away.

-End of flashback-

I could still hear her voice ringing in my ear, "Please don't leave me." I was such a jerk! Who am I kidding? Bree doesn't want to get back together with a jerk like me.

I got up in my bed. Jax was sleeping in the one beside mine. He opened his eyes, "You okay, man?" He asked still half asleep. "What am I doing here, Jax? I mean, do I even know?" I asked.

Jax got up. "What's wrong?" He asked as he turned on the lamp that was on his side table. "This was all a big mistake. I thought that in coming here; maybe Bree and I could get back together. But the more I think about it, the more I start to doubt."

Jax got up and sat on my bed. "You know what I noticed the first time Bree saw you again?" Jax asked. I sat up in my bed. "What?" I asked. "Her eyes. Not necessarily her facial expression but her eyes. They were dilated," Jax replied.

"So? What does that have to do with anything?" I asked. "They said that when you're with the person you love, your pupils dilate," Jax explained. "It sounds made up," I said. "It's not. It's true!" Jax exclaimed. I started to laugh.

"So I guess that would mean that mine would explode every time I'd see Bree," I reminded him. Now Jax started laughing, "Probably. But the point is, she still likes you. I can tell."

"I don't know about that one… can that be scientifically tested?" I asked sarcastically. Jax shook his head, "No. But I can prove it to you." "How?" I asked. "You'll see. But maybe I won't have to. Maybe you'll find out for yourself," Jax replied.

"You know, you always know how to cheer me up," I said. Jax smiled, "You're my best friend. It's my job." Jax went back into his bed and turned off the lamp. I lay back down on my pillow and looked up at the ceiling. I was deep in thought. As many things were rushing through my head, I fell asleep.

Jax's POV:

"Come on! Get up!" Marcus exclaimed. He shook my bed. "Dude, didn't you just wake me up like ten minutes ago?" I asked sounding groggy. "That was one in the morning! It's 8:30 now! Let's go or else you'll miss breakfast!" Marcus replied.

I rolled my eyes and got out of bed. I headed for the bathroom, got dressed, and brushed my teeth. I came out. "What are we having?" I asked. "It smells like waffles. But I have no idea," Marcus said.

"Race ya!" I exclaimed. I started running out of the room and down the hallway. Marcus was following quickly behind. We were head to head. We didn't notice this, but Bree was standing in the middle of the hallway on her phone. We trampled right into her.

We all screamed. We were all on the ground. I got up first. "Sorry Bree!" I exclaimed. I pretended to run downstairs but I turned around and hid in a closet. I would stay there and wait for them to pass so I could scare them.

"Are you okay?" I heard Marcus ask. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think I'll live," She replied. He held out his hand to help her up. She gladly took it and stood up. "Sorry about that. Jax can be so immature sometimes," Marcus told her.

Immature!? I—oh wait, that's actually correct. She laughed, "Its fine. Adam is very similar. So is Kaz, but Adam is way more." Marcus nodded. "We should head downstairs," He said. They started coming towards me.

You know what? I'll let them be. I quickly got out of the closet and ran down the stairs. "Hey Jax!" Chase exclaimed. I shushed Chase and quickly sat down. I didn't want Marcus to find out I was eaves dropping.

Marcus and Bree came downstairs. "Hey, that took a long time. I didn't know it was that hard to get off the floor," I said as soon as they came into the kitchen. They both blushed.

Kaz, Skylar, and Oliver entered the room. "What's for breakfast?" Kaz asked. "Waffles!" Chase exclaimed as he flipped the waffles on the other side. "Sounds delicious!" Skylar said excitedly. "Oh… h-h-hey Jax," She said as soon as she sat down.

I looked up, "Oh, hey." Oliver sat down right between me and Skylar. "Hey Jax," He said angrily. "Hey! Good morning isn't it?" I asked. "Good? That's all you have to say is good!?" Oliver asked. He looked like he was going to explode.

"Quit it, Oliver," Skylar said.

Marcus sat down next to me and Bree at on the other side. Skylar and I exchanged looks. "Can I talk to you, Skylar?" I asked getting up. "Gladly," She replied getting up as well. Oliver stood up, "I should go too!"

Skylar put her hand on Oliver's shoulder and sat him down. "Stay," She whispered. Oliver glanced up at me angrily. We walked out onto the balcony. I looked over the edge. "Whoa, that's a long way down," I said.

"Yep. Falling one hundred and one stories to your death," She told me. "Thanks for the picture," I said sarcastically. "So you think Bree and Marcus need to stay together too?" She asked me.

"Of course! That's the whole reason we came on this silly trip," I replied. "So he still likes her?" She asked. "No, he just came here to enjoy the nice weather. OF COURSE HE STILL LIKES HER!" I exclaimed. She backed up.

"Sorry. I didn't get a lot of sleep. Marcus kept me up talking about Bree for a good couple minutes," I explained. She stood next to me again. "Don't tell her I told you, but Bree still has feelings for Marcus too," She confessed.

My eyes widened, "Seriously!? Yes! My predictions came true! So if they both still have feeling for each other, shouldn't we tell them?" "No, they need to figure that out on their own," Skylar replied.

"That could take a while. Marcus is still clueless. He thinks he came here for no reason," I told her. "So is Bree. I keep telling her that Marcus is special and it really hasn't clicked yet."

"So what are we going to do?" I asked. "We need to try and get them together. Without them knowing that we're helping them," She explained. "How do we do that?" I asked. "We'll come up with a plan later. But we'll definitely need more people," She started.

"Guys, breakfast is ready!" Chase exclaimed. Skylar and I looked at each other. "Seriously? Couldn't we ask anyone else?" I asked. "Nope. Come on. Do you want them together or not?" She asked. I rolled my eyes, "I guess." She grabbed my hand and we ran inside.
