Falling In Love With Her

Chapter Two

*Lana's POV*
"Lana... What's going on?" Jen asked as she rubbed my back. In her embrace, I felt safe. I knew that Fred wouldn't hurt her. Me? Maybe. But he'd never touch anyone else. "H-he said he was going to kill me because I was ignoring him.. B-but I was asleep.. I-I wasn't ignoring him. J-Jen, I'm scared." I said. I was shaking. "Okay, Lana, baby, really. You have to end this relationship. I know you might love him.. I know, 6 years is a long time. But, if you keep letting this happen, he's either going to marry you and it'll be worse, or he'll really kill you. Baby girl, I worry about you. I don't want you to get hurt." Jen said and held me tight. "I love you Jen." I said. Sure. I've said it hundreds of times to her. She's straight though, so she probably just thinks of it as a best friend kind of i love you. But it's so much more. "I love you too, Lana." Jen said and kissed my head. I grabbed my phone and called Fred. I put it on speaker and Jen was recording it, so if he threatened me, I could hold it against him. "Hey Lana." He said. I took a deep breath. "Fred. We need to talk." I said. "Okay babe. What about?" He said and I cringed. Jen had her arm around me and squeezed my shoulder for support. "Okay. We need to break up." I said. "Excuse me?" He said. I started shaking again. "We need to break up. I'm sorry, but I don't feel like I should be in a relationship with someone who threatens me and abuses me. I will not quit my job because you're jealous of my friends. I will not let you continue to ruin my life." I said. Jen rubbed my shoulder and I felt stronger than I ever had. "You don't mean that baby. I started taking medicine. It'll help me. Please Lana. I know you love me." He said. I felt tears forming in my eyes. "Y-you what?" I said. "I'm getting my life together for you babe." He said. Jen sighed and stood up. She walked away. I panicked. I need her. She makes me stronger. I need her strength. I stood up and walked to Jen. I grabbed her hand and held it and she looked at me funnily. "F-fred, we're over. I'm sorry." I said. "But I love you Lana." He said. "Then maybe you should've acted like it." I said. He sighed. "Alright. I respect your decision Lana." He said. I smiled weakly. "Thank you." I said. "No. Thank you. You're the reason I'm changing. I want you to be happy and I was not able to make you happy. Find your happiness." He said. I smiled. Jen was looking at our hands. "I already have." I said, still smiling and staring at Jen. She looked up at me and stared into my eyes. "Goodbye Lana." Fred said and hung up. I put my phone on the counter and Jen smiled. "I'm proud of you b-" she started but stopped herself. She cleared her throat. "Lana." She finished. "You can still call me baby girl and stuff like that. Nothing's changed between us." I said and squeezed her hand. She smiled. "So, how about those movies." I said. I dragged her to the family room and we plopped down on the couch. I turned the tv on and changed it to Netflix. "Can we watch Bringing Ashley Home? Please?" I asked. She sighed. "Lana.." She said. Jen stars in the movie as a bipolar, drug addict. She doesn't like this movie. "Maybe we should watch Swing Town." Jen said. I immediately started blushing. I stood up and walked to my bedroom and began pacing. In Swing Town, I'm basically the whore. I hate that show and I'm glad it ended. I closed my eyes, but continued pacing. After a few minutes, I felt a hand on my hip. I opened my eyes and looked at Jen. "I'm sorry." She said and looked deep into my eyes. I closed the distance between us in a tight hug. "I know you hate that show because it gave you a bad rep for a long time. But, you are seriously so amazing. I'm sorry." Jen said. "I love you." I said quietly. "I know." Jen said and continued holding me. I smiled. If only she actually knew. "Can we actually watch a movie in here? I'm tired." I said. She smiled. It's like 9 o'clock. But, we have to get up early. "Sure thing." She said. I smiled then, took my shoes off and climbed in my bed. I'd probably end up sleeping in the hoodie and yoga pants I was wearing, just because they're comfy and warm. Jen smiled and walked to my closet. She makes herself at home here and that's totally okay. I want her to. She grabbed a pair of sweatpants and put them on. She was wearing sweatpants and a tank top. I smirked while she wasn't looking, then I turned the tv on. She climbed in the bed beside me and pulled the blankets over us. I scrolled through the Netflix log and smiled as I found He's Just Not That Into You. Jen smiled. Ginny is in this movie and her character always makes us laugh. We laid down and i turned the lamp off. "So, what time do you get up in the mornings?" I asked. "4:45. You?" She said. I smiled. "4:30. So, I'll be careful not to wake you up." I said. She chuckled. "Don't worry about it." She said. I smiled. "Goodnight Jen." I said. "Night Lana." She said. After a few minutes, I sighed. "Hey Jen?" I asked. "Yeah?" She asked in response. "Can we cuddle?" I asked. I heard her chuckle and she quickly wrapped her arms around me. We were spooning and she had taken spot as the big spoon. I smiled. "You're warm." I said. "Good." She said. I smiled. I fell asleep, wrapped in her arms. When I woke up the next morning, I panicked at the arms wrapped around me, then I remembered the previous nights events. I released a small sigh of relief and smiled. "Good morning." Jen said and tightened her arms around me. I smiled. "Good morning." I said back. "I'm telling everyone we slept together." Jen said and I chuckled. "You're a dork." I said. "And besides. We still have clothes on." I said. She laughed and stood up. I immediately missed her warmth. Jen makes me so happy. I sighed and stood up. Jen and I were now both standing at my closet. I grabbed a pair of jeans and another hoodie. I didn't have to tell Jen she could borrow anything. She knows she can. She grabbed a pair of yoga pants that were fitted all the way down and a sweatshirt that says Canada across the chest. She changed and then put on a pair of my Free Runs. I smiled. I changed and then put on a pair of riding boots. 5 am. "Alright. You ready?" I asked. She nodded. "You can move your car into the garage if you want. Wouldn't want any rumors being spread." I said and chuckled as we walked to my car. "I'm good baby girl." she said. I smiled. "Just ask her out already!" I screamed in my head. We got in my car and I drove towards set. When we got there, I parked beside Ginny and Josh's black Prius. Almost all of us drive black cars. Jen and I got out and walked to the group. Megan raised an eyebrow while Rose and Rebecca exchanged a look with each other. "So, Lana. What's new?" Rose asked. I sighed. "I broke up with Fred last night." I said. "Aw. Sorry." Rose chimed in. I shook my head. "It was a bad situation." I said. Josh raised an eyebrow. "Now you have to tell us." He said. I sighed and looked at my feet. "Fred has been physically and verbally abusing me... For f-five and a half years." I said and felt tears brimming in my eyes. "Lana... Why didn't you tell any of us?" Megan asked. "Yeah. We could've helped you." Jared said. I smiled at the young boy. "I-I was scared." I said. They all gave me sympathetic looks. Then Adam and Eddy walked up. "You guys ready?" They asked. Everyone nodded. "Okay. Lana, we'll shoot your scenes first. Jen, we're not going to shoot your scenes today. Then, we'll need some scenes with Kristin, Victoria and Merrin. So, be ready people. Lana. You've got 15 minutes. Get ready." Eddy said. I nodded. Jen followed me to the costume trailer. "If you want, you can take my car and go and I'll get a ride." I said as I walked to the costumes. "Nah. I want to wait on you. I am staying at your house." Jen said. I chuckled as I pulled out today's costume. It's an evil queen flashback today. I looked at the outfit. "Wanna help me with my corset?" I asked Jen, as she bit her lip. She smirked and nodded. I rolled my eyes. I pulled off my hoodie and shirt and was now standing there in my bra. I heard Jen's breathing hitch and I raised an eyebrow. My back was turned to her and her hand slid up my back, to the hook of my bra. She unhooked it and I quickly pulled the corset up. It had a built in bra. Jen grabbed the sides and pulled it together. She hooked it and I closed my eyes. Corsets are the most uncomfortable things in the whole damn world. I took off my jeans and pulled on the leather pants. Then, the boots and then the red coat/ dress thing. I buttoned it and smiled. Now, to hair and makeup. "Alright babe. I gotta go. I'll meet you in my trailer when I'm done. I have something I'd like to talk to you about." I said. Jen smiled and nodded. I walked out of the trailer. This is it.
