1 x 1 with It.Will.Rain

[Boomer]

Alessa sat and ate with the pups as Jake went upstairs. The four pups were quiet as they ate.
~~
Mary looked to the door as Jake came in. "Thank you." she said happily, sitting up. It pained her to be alone; she was used to having someone around.

Jake smiled. "Of course." He put an arm around her as he ate. He stayed close to her knowing she did not like to be alone. He did not want her to feel alone. He ate his food happily.

It didn't take long for Mary to finish breakfast. "Do you have any plans for today?" she asked, setting her plate on her nightstand. Mary, of course, didn't have anything to do.

Jake nodded. "I am taking Alessa to practice and then I can come back and we can spend time together. Hopefully, the pups will stay in here with you. I know you don't like to be alone." He said.

[Boomer]

"I'm sure they will..." she murmured, slightly rolling onto her side to face Jake, "You and Alessa can take as much time as you two need. I'll be fine, I promise." The little pups came into the room, saying hi to Jake before crawling into bed. They curled up with their mother.

"Okay." He said and kissed her right as the little pups came in. He said hello and then looked at Mary. "Thank you. Call me if you need anything." He said to her and went into the bathroom and got ready to go before he headed downstairs. He looked at Alessa. "Ready to go?" He asked her.

[Boomer]

"I will, have a good time." she answered. She laid down, cuddling with her pups. All four of them relaxed and drifted off to sleep.
~~
Maria went downstairs as she was too hungry to lay in bed. She went into the kitchen and ate the food that was left over. Alessa came out of her room, turning to Jake. "Oh, we're going now?" she asked, "Sure."

Mark came down with her and ate as well. He was happy to be with her. He sat and ate happily. "How are you?" He asked.

Jake smiled at Alessa. "If you don't want to go now, we don't have to. I just thought you would want to have plenty of time to practice." He said to her. "We can stay as long as you want to." He said.

[Boomer]

Maria looked to Mark, happy to see him. "I'm good, how are you?" she asked.
~~
"No, that's fine." said Alessa softly, "We can practice now. I just didn't expect to go right now, that's all." She moved towards the door, waiting for Jake.

[it.will.rain]

"I am great my love." He said to her. Mark was so happy she seemed happy. He sat down and started to eat.

"Okay great." Jake said and walked out. He got in the car and waited for her and then he drove to his friends. He got out and walked inside.
