He wakes up the next morning with a warm, soft body next to him. In the immediate moment after his eyes open he figures it's Mackenzie. She's had a tendency to crawl into his bed since she was little and curl up next to him.

He pulls the body towards him and his mind registers that the body is too big and smells strange. Great but strange. Sunshine and vanilla sugar.

He opens his eyes and rolls onto his side. His mind has caught up and he's remembering the night before.

By the time they left the party Jensen's pretty sure he was the only sober one there. Mike had started up the tequila shots again around eleven and they'd ended up doing body shots off each other. Jensen doesn't think he's ever been to a high school party like that before. All they had in Texas was a keg full of illegal beer and a couple of guitars.

Kristen rolls over and throws her arm around his waist, burying her head under his arm. She looks incredibly comfortable, her hair spread out behind her on his pillow.

He's not quite sure what his reasoning behind her being in in his bed is, beside the fact that he's obviously crazy. She was incredibly drunk and in all honesty he didn't want to just dump her at her house.

He's laying on top of his bedcovers in just his jeans which, he must admit, is horribly uncomfortable. Kristen is still dressed in her clothes from the night before.

He thinks he might like to stay like this forever.

He wakes her up with coffee and Advil after explaining to his mother and Mac why he has his next-door neighbor in his bed. He gives her the Advil and wraps his own hands around a mug while perched on the end of his bed.

She smiles at him kind of sheepishly and burrows her head under his covers. He's not going to wash his sheets for a while.

When she appears groaning and grinning and holding her head he can't help but laugh at her, "Big night last night?" he asks.

She blushes and he laughs again, "I'm so sorry. I can't even remember getting here. I barely know you and I'm asleep in your bed."

He waves her off, "Don't worry about it, really. You want to go out and get some breakfast?"

She nods and looks down at herself, "Should I go home and get changed first?" she asks.

He shakes his head and, getting up, gets her his U of T sweatshirt from a drawer. Throwing it to her, he turns towards the door, "I'll meet you downstairs. Bathroom's two doors down to the left."

She nods and smiles at him, "Thank you very much Jensen."

He can feel his eyes crinkle, "Call me Jen."

When he gets home from the next lot of tryouts Monday after school there's a strange car out the front of Kristen's house. As he grabs his stuff and locks his car he looks towards her house. She's sitting on her porch with a blonde guy he's never seen before. She has her arms wrapped around her and she looks like she's about to curl into her sweatshirt. His sweatshirt. The guy looks as though he's been crying.

Jensen turns and goes into the house, and feels his heart shatter slowly.
