Brennifer: My first true love❤️

Chapter thirty: Long days

(Jen's P.O.V)

2:30am

I can't believe I'm wide awake at this time. I have to be awake at 5am to go to set and Brad's snoring is so loud that it woke me up and I can't get back to sleep. I've been awake for fifteen minutes and it's really starting to annoy me. I lean over and I try my best to roll him over onto his side but he's too heavy so I take my fingers and pinch his nose. This startles him and he wakes up.

"What the fuck Jen" He says in a groggy voice

"You're snoring woke me up so I had no other option" I roll back over onto my side and I push my back up against him as he's now laying on his side to try to prevent him from laying back onto his back but I know that my body won't be able to stop him if he does but the least I can do is try. It's times like this that I wish we had a bed in the spare room but we haven't got round to doing it yet.

Just as I'm about to fall back to sleep he starts snoring again. I immediately sigh and use an extra pillow to cover my ears but it does nothing. I would go to sleep downstairs on the couch but it freaks me out being down there alone, especially in the dark so I suppose I'll just have to put up with his snoring.

5am

My alarm goes off and I have no choice but to get up. I'm absolutely exhausted as I only managed to get three hours of sleep last night and I know today is going to be hell. We have such a long day of rehearsals but all I want to do is to go to sleep.

I'm downstairs and sleepy head is still snoring away in bed. I make my coffee extra strong as I know I'm going to need the caffeine and I make myself a high energy smoothie. I quickly jump in the shower and wash my hair before french braiding it and changing into a hoodie and some jogging bottoms. Before I know it, it's 6:30am and I need to leave.

I jump in my car with my second cup of coffee and head off to Warner Bros. Today obviously isn't meant to be my day as I'm stuck in terrible traffic. I ring Marta to let her know I'm going to be a little late and she said it's fine and to just get there when I can.

6:30am

I'm finally pulling into the Warner Bros lot at stage 24 and I'm thirty minutes late. I jump out of my car and run inside. I get to the stage where everyone is already reading over their lines. I go into my bag to get my script and it's not in there.

"Oh fucking hell" I say under my breath as I'm still digging around my bag in the hopes that it's in there but it's not

"Marta can I please borrow a script. I was rushing this morning and must have forgotten to put it in my bag" I walk over to where Marta is sitting by one of the camera monitors

"No problem honey, here you go. Hey Jen... are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine I'm just absolutely exhausted because I couldn't sleep last night" I take the script from her and walk over and sit next to everyone

We spend the first hour reading over the script as they made some line changes. Once we've done that it's time to go to hair and makeup. I'm sitting in my dressing room with a cup of coffee in hand and I cannot stop yawning and when I'm too tired I have a tendency to get in such a bad mood.

*3 hours later*

It's finally time for our first break. We haven't had a good morning with rehearsals because I kept messing up my lines. I guess I'm not so great when I'm tired. I head to my dressing room and decide to have a lay down on the couch. It doesn't take long and I fall asleep.

"Jen... Jen wake up" I hear whispers and someone shaking me gently and I look up to see Courteney

"Mmm... what?" I say confused as to where I am, completely forgetting I'm at work for a moment

"What's going on with you?" She says sitting at my feet

"I'm fine" I say sitting up

"Jen come on. I know you, you can't fool me"

"Honestly I'm fine I'm just absolutely exhausted. I didn't get any sleep last night thanks to Brad and his fucking snoring" I rub my hands over my face trying to wake myself up as I'm still extremely tired

"Go home. Take the day off and get some sleep" Court says as she stands up

"No I'll be fine"

"Jen you never ever fall asleep at work so you just be shattered. Please go home. I've spoken to Marta and she agreed with me"

"Fine... okay I'll go home" I stand up, gather up my things and make my way to my car

(Court's P.O.V)

I've just left Jen's dressing room as she's on her way home. Somethings not right and I know it but she won't tell me. I walk back to everyone and they ask where Jen is.

"Jen's gone home... she was so exhausted so Marta has sent her home for the day"

"Wow that's not like Jen" Matty says in reply to what I just said

"Is something going on with her? Is she okay?" Lisa and the other two ask

"I honestly don't know, she said she's just tired but I'm not sure if I believe her"

"If something is going on then she'll come to us in time" David says as we get back to rehearsals

*At Jen's home*

(Jen's P.O.V)

I get home and sling my bag down by the door and make my way to the couch. Once my head hits the cushion I'm out cold again. A few hours later I hear Brad enter the house. I don't know why but I'm still annoyed at him. I've told him to go to a sleep clinic before but he won't listen and he insists I'm exaggerating.

"Baby what are you doing home? And why are you laying on the couch?" Brad asks as he comes and sits opposite me on the coffee table

"Well they sent me home from work as I couldn't concentrate and I kept falling asleep because your fucking snoring kept me awake all night" I say kind of coldly so he understands my frustration

"Woah there's no need to be bitchy about it"

"Hold on... I'm not being bitchy I'm just so exhausted. I've told you to go to a sleep clinic as it's not healthy to snore as loud as you do but you never listen" I say as I stand up making my way to the stairs and Brad follows me

"But Jen I can't help it... you..." I cut Brad off as I really can't be bothered with this anymore

"You can help it... go to a sleep clinic" I turn around and walk up the stairs to our bedroom without giving him the time to answer me

5pm

I slowly wake up rubbing my eyes to find Brad sitting next to me in bed and I immediately feel guilty for the way I acted earlier.

"Brad I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I was just so tired and overwhelmed. I'm really sorry baby" I say leaning into his chest as tears roll down my cheeks

"It's okay Jen. I'm sorry I kept you awake last night. Please don't cry baby" Brad wipes my eyes and gives me a kiss on the head

"But why are you overwhelmed though? You can tell me anything you know that" He says as I sit up in bed leaning against the headboard. I guess there's no better time to tell him than now.

"Right okay but before I tell you, you just promise me that you're not going to freak out"

"Of course I won't, just tell me baby"

I feel a lump in my throat as I'm about to say what I'm about to say. I turn to face him and cross my legs and I take a deep breath.

"I'm late" I say as I twiddle my fingers together

"What do you mean your late? Late for what?" I slightly giggle at his innocence

"No brad... I'm late... ummmmm my... my period... it's late" I say, my voice shaking as I'm telling him this for the first time
