MONDAY NIGHT (Show Day/ Halloween)
JENNA's POV
It's show day and I'm really feeling the pressure. With Sharna not being able to dance this week, I had to step in to be her body and dance with James. I'm crazy excited to be Harley Quinn, but I do feel bad for Sharna because her and James have been planning this Halloween number since the season started and now she can't even dance. I just hope I can do James justice and make Sharna proud.
I look around the red room for Sharna or James and don't see them yet, then I see Val walk in. He looks over in my direction and we make instant eye contact, this time he gives me a faint smile and a small wave, but I immediately look away and stare back down at my phone. I can't do this. James and Sharna deserve for me to be completely focused this week and I can't let everything going on with Val distract me from it.
VAL's POV
'That was strange" I think to myself, normally Jenna would smile and wave back. Things have been really weird between us for the past few days. Let's be honest, I did get a little upset with Austin's post, but it's definitely not something to cause so much tension between us. Maybe i should go talk to her. I start making my way acrossed the red room to Jenna when someone pops up in front of me. "Hey Val!" Laurie says, smiling her million dollar smile. "Hey Lil'Nugget! You look great!" I say smiling back at her. "I'm so excited for tonight!" She exclaims. "Me too" I say stealing a glance over at Jenna then looking back at Laurie. Tonight we're doing a 'Willy Wonka' inspired dance and I just have a feeling that this will be our best dance to date. I just hope I don't get distracted with whatever is going on between me and Jenna. "Are you okay?" She asks, still smiling but slightly concerned. No matter what feeling I'm in Laurie always helped turn my mood around. I seriously don't know what I'm going to do without her after this season ends. "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine." I say trying to play it off. Then a 'knowing' smile soon appears on her face. "You should go talk to her." She says. "But we should really go over our da-..." before I could finish she cut me off. "I'll go over it without you. Now go!" She says giving me a push in Jenna's direction. I slightly stumble but catch my balance but not before Jenna notices. "You okay there?" She asks looking up from her phone. "Yeah. Um I, uh, you look amazing" I manage to say. Jenna was dancing in Sharna's place tonight so she was dressed as Harley Quinn, and she looked absolutely stunning as always. "Thanks" she says with a smile. "You look great too, I'm really excited to see yours and Laurie's dance, Dennis told me it's a great one." "Thank you. Yeah, I'm really excited for it. I'm also excited to see you dance." I say as she looks at me. "With James" I finish trying to catch myself. We were talking, we were having a conversation, but something about it felt forced. Almost like there was some sort of tension between us. It was practically killing me, I couldn't hold it in anymore. "Are we okay Jennabug?" I blurted out. "Yeah we're fine" she said avoiding my eyes. No eye contact. She's lying. "You're lying" I look into her deep blue eyes as I say my thoughts out loud. "No I'm not." She says still avoiding my eyes. "Jennabug, look at me." I say. "Don't do that Val." She says. "Do what?" I ask as confusion crosses over my face. "Look into my eyes and call me Jennabug, make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world" Her talking speed gets faster and faster with each word. "Make my heart melt, enchant me with your emerald greed eyes, just stop doing that!" She snaps, finally looking into my eyes. "I can't take it anymore Val, if you want to be with Amber, that's fine but-" she continues on saying, looking deep into my eyes. "Jennabug" I say cutting her off and grabbing both her hands. "Where is all this coming from?" I asked concerned. "Val the red room cameras" she says trying to pull her hands away from mine. "I don't care" I say quickly, "now please tell me where you got the idea about Amber and I bring a thing?" "Well, you guys have been hanging out a lot lately and all those pics on insta made it look like you guys might have been getting a little closer than just friends." "Jennabug, please believe me we I tell you that Amber and I are just friends." I say to her. "I believe you." She says squeezing my hands. "Jenna we need you over here." Dean from hair calls her. "Be right there!" She responds and turns her attention back to me seeing I had more to say. "And I'm hoping it's the same thing with you and Austin?" I say finally questioning her on him. "Yes, Austin and I were only ever meant to be friends." She says with a smile. "Good" I say, leaning down and kissing her forehead. "Jenna!" Hair and makeup call for her again. "Coming!" Jenna says. She starts to walk away and stops. She turns around and runs back to me, reaches up giving me a kiss on my cheek, then goes over to join James and Sharna at the hair station.
I go and sit down in a makeup chair and talk to Artem as the show starts. Witney then comes up and starts talking to Artem and I. Wit and I always were great friends, but since Jenna and I split up, she hasn't really been to fond of me, but for the first time since the split, we were actually have a great conversation. I then hear one of the stage directors call out for James and Jenna. I look up to see Jenna glance one more time in the mirror before taking James' hand which he was holding out for her. He guides her across the red room and as she passes by me she reaches her hand out, "Goodluck V Bear." She smiles. "You too Jennabug." I say squeezing her hand then I let go and watch her walk out towards the stage.


"It's so nice to see you guys back to normal again." Witney says giving me a hug. "But if you ever break her heart again, I'll break your balls" She whispers in my ear as she breaks our embrace.  "Don't worry Wit, I would never be able to handle losing her twice." And that was the truth, I'd die of a broken heart before Witney would be able to get to me. I still don't know what we are, but she's my Jennabug and I'm her V Bear and as long as I can help it, that will never change ever again.
