Bright morning light filtered through the tiny apartment. Horns from the traffic below blared and several sirens went off from the cars in the street. None of this interrupted the slumbering couple on the couch. They still were in their upright positions although they had slumped against each other.
All was quiet in the apartment, that is until the lyrics of 'Hey There Delilah' filled the small space. Will bolted up upright at the annoying song, glancing around for the source of the noise. Elizabeth was awoken from her sleep at Will's sudden movement. When the song restarted, she rose from the sofa and fumbled through her purse, finally digging out her cell phone. When she answered it finally, the horrid song was finally stopped. Will sighed, stood up and stretched, trying to loosen up some of the kinks in his back. He peered at the clock on the wall across the flat. It was only eleven fourty-six, far too early to be waking up on a Saturday morning.
Elizabeth snapped her cell phone shut with a sigh. "Sorry about that," she said. "That was my father. He was worried when he got up to the apartment this morning and I wasn't there. I told him I was at a friend's house, just so he wouldn't worry." She smiled at him tiredly.
"So he's alright then? With you here?" Will asked tentatively.
"Well he has no choice does he?" Elizabeth replied. "But I do have to go home for a bit though." Will noticed she did sound a bit disappointed at the statement. Will have her a lopsided grin.
"Do you have to?" Will asked. He hoped it didn't sound to needy. Truth be told, he enjoyed waking up next to Elizabeth despite the unconventional wake up call.
"Yeah I do," she responded as she gathered up a few of her things and pulled her tangled hair into a messy ponytail. "Can I give you a call later though?"
"Of course," Will said, giving her his cell phone number excitiedly. He walked Elizabeth to the door.
"Thank you Will. Last night was fun," Elizabeth told him honestly.
"It was."
"I'll call you later then?"
"I look forward to it," replied Will, the tired grin still plastered on his face.
"Bye Will!" Elizabeth called as she descended the staircase.
"Seeya later!" Will closed the door once her footsteps faded away. He leaned tiredly on the door with his eyes closed, pleased all the same. He heard a chuckle from across the apartment. Opening one eye, Will found Jack standing at his door staring at Will. "You're up early," Will told him.
"Well mate I could help but overhear you lil' lovebirds," Jack informed Will.
"Sorry 'bout that."
"Eh, it's fine I guess." Jack crossed to the kitchen area where he started the coffee pot before plopping down at the table. "You gonna do somethin' with 'Lizabeth later or do I need to find somethin' to entertain you with?"
"Dunno yet. Maybe," Will replied, joining his friend at the table. He couldn't ignore the stupid smile Jack wore. "What is it?"
"You like her don't ya?" Jack asked. Will surveyed his friend. He knew that deep down Jack was concerned with Will's relationships. No matter how much Jack teased Will about his inability to be in a stable relationship, Jack really did care, very deep down.
"I do," Will confirmed.
"Good for you mate," Jack said, clapping Will on the shoulder. "I'll be nice and leave her to you. Besides, I would be far too easy for me to woo." Will couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"How kind of you," Will replied sarcastically. "I'm actually going to bed and see if I can get some rest. We should consider getting a new couch soon, that thing is a fucking bitch to sleep on." He retreated into his room and promptly fell asleep on the bed.
Jack shook his head at his friend. He hoped things would go well for his friend. All Will wanted was someone good. God knows he deserved something good after the last few relationships Will had been through.
Jack sat on the couch by himself. He was taking tonight off from barhopping. Some days he just needed to take a break from picking up women.
Will was out tonight with his girlfriend. They had been dating for a few months. Jack entertained the idea of himself settling down one day with a woman and maybe having a kid or two. Yeah, it was a ridiculous thought.
The front door handle rattled as it was unlocked. Will entered the apartment quietly, shutting the old door behind him. "That date ended early," Jack stated trying to poke a bit of fun at Will. Looking up, Jack found his words had not even registered with Will. In fact, Will had not moved from his spot since he entered.
"You alright Will?" Jack asked, concerned. When Will didn't responded right away, Jack knew there was something wrong.
"Ashley broke up with me."
Jack did know what to say. He knew Will had really liked Ashley, maybe even loved her.
"Will, I'm really sorry," Jack told his friend. He didn't know what else to say.
"I really liked her Jack. But she didn't like me apparently."
"Will, you'll find someone else, I know it," Jack tried to console his friend.
"I know, but I don't want anyone right now."
Jack turned the page of his paper and was roused from his thoughts by the sound of the coffee pot signaling the brew was ready. Who knows, maybe Elizabeth would be good for Will.
A/N: Alright. I know I was really short, and I'm sorry for that. But better something short then leave you hanging for a while. So, tell me what you thought of my mini-chapter.
Girlz-rule: I hope this chapter was good for you. I know its short, but it's still something right?
EpisodeSkywalker: im really glad you liked that last chapter. I hope you liked this one as well, so tell me what you thought
Dramaqueen247: alright alright, I will. We do know at least that will likes Elizabeth. So don't crack anytime soon, just hang on :P
Unacymbal: I never said they wouldn't be real. Theyre actually some films my friends had made, some of the better ones really. Theyre really the only good ones I could think of at the time, but still. And how could I resist them doing something overly cutesy?
Pirategal101: glad you liked them. Youll have to hang on a bit for will to see what Elizabeth has done mostly because I still have to figure it out :P so just hang in there for a bit.
Klcxthexpirate: yes, psycho. I love that movie, its really twisted and totally worth seeing. Glad you loved it :P
