Later that night JC stepped out on the balcony for fresh air, only to find Jenna standing outside alone. He walked up to her and said, "What are you doing here with Justin?"
"Hello to you too," Jenna said not even facing JC.
"I asked you a question," JC said seriously.
"He asked me to come with him and I accepted," Jenna said.
"Are you dating him?" JC asked.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. What does it matter to you? You weren't even talking to me until a few seconds ago," Jenna said anger growing.
"Well maybe it does matter to me," JC said anger in his voice also.
"Why?" Jenna asked, "I told you that I wouldn't wait."
"So you are dating him?" JC asked,
"I'm glad you have a jealous side of you," Jenna said as she started to walk away.
"Wait don't go," JC said, "I've been a real jerk I'm sorry."
"Well you should be," Jenna replied.
"It just hurts. Although now I realize that it hurts more without you," JC said.
"Well it is stupid that it took me being with another guy to make you see that," Jenna said.
"So you are dating him?" JC said.
"No I'm not. But thanks for making that your main concern," Jenna said.
"I'm sorry," JC said.
"Yeah well unlike you I'm going to accept your apology and move on," Jenna said as she turned back toward him.
"I still love you," JC said, "It took you with someone else to make me realize how much but I do I love you."
"You hurt me too JC. I love you but it hurts. We can't just go back to what we were," Jenna said.
"Well how about we start with something simple, can I have this dance?" JC asked, holding out his hand.
"Yes," Jenna answered as they began to dance beneath the stars. It wasn't perfect but it was a start.
