It took ten minutes to move the things Tam needed into the house. Soon, the large dining room had two dog bowls and the dog food was in the pantry. In the living room, a large dog bed for Tam sat in the corner. They offered to put one in Addilyn's room as well, but she declined. Tam would sleep in her large bed with her, she didn't have anyone else to fall asleep with anyways.

Her large backyard now had toys scattered on the porch and in the grass. The pool would be Tam's toy as well, though Addilyn would only watch from the shallow end.

Addilyn was ecstatic as the movers left, Tam sitting next to her loyally. Finally Addilyn plopped back down on her couch, tapping the spot next to her so Tam knew he could come up. Then, she finally texted Jason. 'Good morning Jason, I hope your morning is going well!' She supposed that Jason might still be asleep and she didn't want to wake him.

Jason was in the middle of making lunch when his phone went off. He finished making his sandwhich, then plopped down on the couch to eat. After reading Addilyn's text message, Jason shot off a quick reply, 'Yo! It's more like noon then morning, lmao. And it's going well - wbu?'

Jason let his head fall back on the couch, it felt good to work out and let his mind go blank. Now, though, it all came rushing back - his secret was out, and he didn't know what to do.

Addilyn laughed at Jason's reply, she hadn't even had breakfast yet, let alone lunch, which always came with noon. 'Well I just woke up maybe 30 minutes ago, which is completely not like me with my job and all. So I'm going to act like it's morning regardless XD. I'm having a pretty awesome morning as well. Speaking of work, I'm off for 3 more days so whenever you have time to meet up, I'm available as well.' Addilyn quickly sent it off, after all, she supposed she should probably tell Jason that she'd never out him in person.

Perhaps keeping Jason's secret was a horrible idea but he'd helped her out when she needed it most. She was in debt to him, so she at least owed him this.

Jason couldn't help but grin as he read Addilyn's messages, and typed out a response, 'Nice that you slept in - and if u think it is morning, then it is totally morning." After sending that off, Jason debated if he wanted to meet up with Addilyn. Her knowing his secret was nerve-wracking, but he'd have to face her sooner or later. Jason was never one to put things off, so he sent a text, 'Tomorrow morning - breakfast at Pancake Palooza?'

Addilyn had already started to pull herself together for the day ahead when Jason replied. She smiled down at her phone, Tam putting his head in her lap adorably. 'Sounds good to me! I'm going out for a jog, I'll see you tomorrow :)' Addilyn turned off her phone and got ready for her jog. She decided that bringing Tam with her was a good idea and harnessed him up as well. Humming softly as she did so.

ts to tomorrow?

Yup.

Addilyn woke up happily, especially with Tam sleeping right next to her. For the first time in forever, her sleep hadn't been haunted with dreams of her mother getting killed or Addilyn getting beat to a pulp. No. For once she dreamt of sunny skies and green grass and smiles. Lots of smiles.

Addilyn got ready easily, not going all out like she had last time. She wore a simple white t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it, the shirt being tucked into high rise light blue jeans. Her black hair was loose and flowing down her back. After a moment of staring at herself in the mirror and debating on whether or not she should change, she patted Tam's head and hopped into her hot car.

She pulled up to the diner (I'm just gonna assume because of the name?) and hopped out. Closing the door and locking it behind her. Addilyn entered and looked around, wondering if Jason happened to be there already.

He had woken up early in the morning, as always, and decided to skip his normal gym routine, which lasted for a few hours. Instead, he took a long jog around the city, showered, and changed into a normal black shirt and black skinny jeans. His hair was still damp from the shower.

When Addilyn arrived, Jason's motercycle was already parked out front, and he had snagged a booth in the back. There weren't any people near it, so it would be private.

Jason was anxiously shaking his leg under the table, though when Addilyn came in he attempted to still it. He leaned back comfortably in the booth, and waved, making sure to catch Addilyn's eye.

Addilyn finally spotted Jason, her green eyes finding his blue ones with ease. She walked over and sat across from Jason with slightly stiff movements. She'd jogged yesterday and the exertion on her bruised muscles had made everything painful again. She probably shouldn't have jogged, especially since she had known full well that her body was not full healed from the attack ealier that week. But she hated sitting around and doing nothing. Addilyn liked the movement, even if it wasn't fighting like she was used to.

"Goodmorning Jason," she smiled softly, though she seemed a little nervous. Mostly because she didn't know if he was mad at her for figuring it all out. For figuring out that he was a villain, her sworn enemy. She didn't plan on telling a soul, but maybe he doubted her, it was a reasonable thing after all.

Addilyn just didn't want to lose a friend.

i had an idea. it's midnight and now my bed is wet because i spit out my water trying to hold in laughter. jason is too much i tell ya.

There was an awkward silence for a while after Jason greeted Addilyn back. The tension was too much, and Jason attempted to break the ice, "So. Guess you know why it was so easy for me to steal your heart," Jason winked and made some finger guns. He couldn't hold a straight face, and laughed out loud, causing some people to momentarily glance their way.
