Tower Block Dreams

Meeting Robyn

Lena's POV

This was so much to take in.  

A part of me felt distant from JP he had been cold he didn't need to bring up Donovan.  I could see how someone fragile would fall for JP.  This Robyn couldn't be blamed for it all he must of given some kind of false sense of security and now I was doubting how I was feeling, this was some mad crazy shit.

"Get ready Le we need to leave" He says to be sternly.

"I don't need to go Leeds and meet your Ex JP" I reply.

"Oh yes you are Lena....I've had my name blackened enough by this shit.  I know you don't believe and no longer trust me besides you need to collect your bag and your car from mine" JP replies like he is finalising things between us.

I feel my heart drop and I look at him.

I go to the bathroom and wash my face and use the supplies courtesy of the hotel.

We leave and JP doesn't even give me a chance to explain to Benson so I texted him and thank him for last night and that I will be in touch.

There was a strained silence in the car between us as we leave London.

I see JP hit a button on his steering wheel and he says

"Ring Robyn"

His phone connects and it is on loud speaker

Robyn answers

"Hello"

"Robyn it's me"

"Hi Jon, you ok? Did you sort things out with Lena?"

"No Robyn me and Lena are on our way up.  I need you to speak with Lena come to my apartment at 1PM"

"Um yeah sure Jon.  I'm so sorry about Bianca she had no right"

I watch his hand as he taps the steering wheel and disconnects the call.

I look at JP as he drives.  Focused on the road ahead his face taunt he looks tired and done in.  I feel so distant from him all he had to do was be honest....to be fair it was my fault he had tried to tell me and I as normal I never listened.

We pull into a service station and he fills up with diesel.  I stay in the car I watch him from the mirror he looks a shadow of himself and I start to feel bad I think he was telling me the truth and if that was the case he has gone through so much with that nut job of an ex.

He gets back in the car and I give him a small smile but he looks straight through me.  I pull away and look out the window and I can feel the tears stinging my eyes.

I turn and face him I can't stand this horrible silence between us.

"JP......I do believe you" I say and I can hear the sadness in my voice.

"Huh whatever" he replies not looking at me.

With the motion of the car I fall off to sleep which I was grateful for as I couldn't handle the atmosphere any longer.

I get woken to JP roughly calling my name telling me we was at his apartment.  We both head out the car and walk towards the complex with distance and space between us.  No holding hands like we normally would of.

We head in and he ignores the concierge small talk as he walks straight pass them, I keep my head down and follow JP.  As we get in his apartment I feel so uncomfortable being here and in his company.

"I'm having a shower we've got an hour to kill before she gets here" He says not looking at me heading to the bathroom.

I sit on the sofa and cry.  This is not how I expected things to turn out, it was Saturday and we should be in bed together or out somewhere having lunch all of a sudden it was like we was over.  I head into his bedroom and grab my holdall.
