A new day

(Up stairs layout: going up the stairs you would see a long hallway going to the right with 5 doors one was Jackson's room on the left,then the room next to that was Mona's and then last bedroom was the master bedroom. Then there was the living room, that was the only room to the right side of the hallway. But there was a extra door that looked like a closet that was in front of Jackson's room)

Waking up only inches away from Jackson, jasmine couldn't help but be flustered being so close. But looking at Jackson asleep she couldn't help but notice that he looked serious even when he was asleep making her giggle a little waking him up.

"Good morning Jackson"she said with a bright smile. Jackson waking up to a smiling red hair beauty couldn't help but smile back,"good morning What time is it?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes waking himself up.

Jasmine shrugged her shoulders,"how would I know toms the only one with a watch." She answered as she got up.

Jackson looked around the room for a clock to see a digital one on the nightstand saying 6:00Am making him facepalm. getting up to stretch he ripped the tank top he had on. Jasmine hearing the rip she turned to him seeing the tank top slide off his body.

"That shirt did look a little tight" she said while staring at Jackson muscles. He noticed her star so he started posting like he was in the Olympic strongman competition making jasmine laugh.

"you think so?" He said while striking a different poses.

"Definitely!" She said while laughing. When Jackson stoped jasmine a little tears in hear eyes from laughing so hard. He put another shirt on but this time it actually fit better then the tank top. Looking back at jasmine she was putting on her shoes."you got a hot date?" Jackson asked wandering why she's putting on shoes.

Jasmine released what she was doing then sighed taking off her shoes."not unless you have something planed."She replied back as she sat back on the bed ."Yah no I don't, but my plan today was to find the ladder that leads up to the roof you want to join me?" he asked while also walking to the door.

"Why not, I don't have any better plans" she replied back following Jackson into the hallway to for Jackson immediately stop making jasmine bump into him."what gives! why'd you stop?" She asked looking around Jackson, to see a closet there they didn't notice before.

Jackson opened the closet to see the ladder."that was easy. Wait for my ok before you clime up." Jackson said as he climbed the ladder. Jasmine waited for a minute or so before Jackson gave her the Ok to climb up.

When on the roof you could see everything in the area,you could also see the 20 Solar panels all bunched up with each other. But on the ground there was nothing but zombies and crashed cars with the occasional fire here and there.

"What a nice view" Jackson said as he stood close to the edge of the roof. "Is there anything else you wanted to do up here? If so let's go back, this view isn't to my liking." She said walking back to the ladder.

"Not a problem I just wanted to see the area and the Solar panels." He replied back walking over to the ladder to see jasmine already descending the ladder."do you not like heights?" Jackson asked while descending the ladder.

Getting off the ladder jasmine replied,"I just don't care to see the destination out side that's all, I can handle heights." She said as she looked around the quiet hallways.

Jackson getting off the ladder seen jasmine looking around for something."what's up you hear something?" Jackson asked in a low voice as he got closer to jasmine."no it's what I don't hear,I got used to waking up with a group around chitchatting but now it's just us and it's quite,it's kinda nice." She answered back while getting closer to Jackson as they walked down the stairs.

Jackson put his arm around jasmine"let's go make breakfast."jasmine turned to him confused"I can't cook to save my life"She said with her head down.

"Don't worry I got it under control, but I wouldn't mind some company." He replied back as they got into the dining room smelling something in the air,not food but...marijuana.

Jasmine rushed to the kitchen to see Tom and felicity smoking a blunt while playing a card game.

"Good morning you two how'd you sleep? You want some breakfast?" Tom asked as he waved them over with his hand out trying to passing the blunt.

Jasmine ran over and grabbed it,as she sat down. Jackson on the other hand walked over to the walk in refrigerator grabbing a carton of

eggs,a couple sausages off the string, two packs of bacon(14 pieces per pack), stacking it up as he walked out to the counter placing it all on the counter next to the flat stove.

"So I take it that you don't want any"Tom shouted across the room getting Jackson's attention.

"Yah I'm good on that thanks" Jackson replied back as he walked over to the pantry grabbing a box of pancake mix, afterwards he walked over to sink grabbing a big bowl putting the pancake mix in with water as he grabbed a wisk, then he was stoped by felicity.

"I love cooking,mind of I help?" She asked with her hand out toward the bowl. Jackson handed her the bowl with the wisk," I'll cook everything I just need help preparing" he said as he walked back to the pantry putting the pancake mix back.

Felicity started mixing as Jackson started getting bowls and plates ready for when he's done cooking right next to the flat grill. Then he started cracking eggs putting them into a bowl, before felicity stopped him giving him the the mixed up pancake mix.

"I already got all the ingredients ready for you over there" she said pointing by the grill." How many eggs do you need scrambled?" She asked grabbing the bowl from Jackson."around 20 or so hopefully that will be enough, worse comes to worse I'll make more." He said walking over to the flat grill, turning it on while putting butter on it.

Felicity begin cracking eggs while Jackson cut the sausage into pepperoni slices, then he started cooking two pancakes on one side of the grill with the bacon cooking in the corner while also cooking the sliced sausage in a different corner.

Everyone in the kitchen was watching Jackson cook three different things on one grill. Felicity seen why Jackson said he would cook everything himself, it's because it would be faster his way.

As Jackson was finishing up the food on the grill putting it on a plate,taking the bowl from felicity."thank you that's all I needed" he said as he put more food on the grill being the process again.

Felicity walked back over to Tom and jasmine,"did you have fun cooking with a master chef?" Tom asked as he shuffled a deck of cards. "Master chef!?" Jasmine blurted out making Tom and felicity turn to her."you didn't know?" Felicity asked as she sat down next to Tom.

"What do you mean I didn't know am I the only one who doesn't?"she asked flabbergasted."Fred told everyone last night. While you didn't hear about it because you went to sleep earlier then everyone else." Tom said back as he passed around cards.

"And how dose Fred know about this? Jackson dose make good food but a master chef and a master martial artist? That's crazy." She asked with a hand on her chin like she was thinking really hard.

"Fred is apparently a cook himself, but he said he wasn't as Jackson. Jackson and Fred were talking and apparently Jackson mentioned he was taught by a master chef so that makes him a master. Fred's logic." Tom replied back whispering the part.

Jasmine sighted as she picked up her cards looking at them."Fred's logic huh? What are we playing anyways?" She asked while organizing her cards."Go fish" Tom and felicity replied back simultaneously making the them laugh.

"Sorry to cut the game short but breakfasts is done." Jackson said moving all the food out into the dining room on a food cart. While the little group in the kitchen moved into the dining room, Jackson was already walking up the stairs.

When Jackson got up stairs he announced

"breakfast is ready,time to get up" when he said this he already seen people leaving the rooms, entering the hallway rubbing there eyes.

Entering the dining room to see the best breakfast you could imagine, everyone ran over to the cart lining up getting a big plate of food.

Clementine walked over to Jackson after getting her food,"are you not eating Jackson?" She asked holding her plate waiting for Jackson to sit somewhere. Jackson walked over to a table sitting down with clementine following sitting next to him.

"I'm going to eat when everyone is done." He said while looking making sure everyone got a plate. When telling her this she was stuffing her face with food. Before Jackson new it jasmine walked over with a big plate of food putting it in front of him sitting down next to him with a smile."thank you jasmine" he said with a smile before eating.

After everyone was done eating there wasn't even a crum of food left,Jackson noticing everyone was done eating he stood up."I'm glad everyone enjoyed the food, but we have matters to discuss.

Fist is the food situation we have enough food to eat like this for a week give or take."he announced to everyone.

This make everyone look at the plate of food that they just finished thinking on how good it truly was.

"And if we ration it out it will only give us a extra 2 week at most." Jackson added waking around the room.

Everyone was slowly understanding what Jack was getting to."So what do you want us to do Jackson?" Fred asked taping on the table he was sitting at.

Jackson started smiling "We should train!! Pacifically combat training, I need everyone to be able to handle themselves, so we will mainly be training in throwing and grappling. Any questions?"

He asked looking around at everyone's reaction, most were mainly surprised some were even smiling.

Clementine raised her hand slowly, Jackson smiled as he looked at clementine."what's grappling?" She ask with her head down rubbing her hands.

Jackson walked up to her putting his hand in her head."there's no reason to be shy that's a question." He said removing his hand off her head making her lock up at Jackson.

"Grappling is all about getting your opponent to submit, but we live in a kill or be killed world so these techniques are meant to save your life. follow my instructions and in a week everyone here will be able to defend there selfs." Jackson said with confidence looking around at everyone in the room.

Nobody has anything to say so Jackson continued,

"Every day for the next week starting today we will train for 4 hours 30 after every meal." Everyone quickly turned to Jackson making him continue.

"Yes I know 4 hours sounds like a long time for beginners. but i can tell you from experience 4 hours of throwing and grappling will make your body stronger and faster, it will also make your body react without you having to think about the move. That's are goal for the next week to heighten your reflexes." He said with a smile looking at everyone's blank expressions.

Everyone was silent they didn't know what to say some were happy to continue training like Fred,mark,Jake,jasmine and Lori. but some like Carol and Jessica didn't care for training they just wanted to relax while they still could.

Jackson couldn't stand the silence so he continued, "I bet some of you were hoping this was a little getaway from the apocalypse. but it isn't, this is the best time to prepare for the out side world! The kill or be killed world." He explained making everyone's blood run cold.

Tom stood up, "Jackson is right! without someone upholding the law humans turn into animals, doing anything they want I've seen it myself, everyone here has a chance to survive not just for a couple days, but for the rest of you life's because we have a excellent teacher here to teach you how to survive. who else in the world can say that?" Tom announced before sitting back down making everyone look back at the smiling Jackson.

Everyone's thoughts switched gears after hearing Tom making everyone get excited for the next week of training.
