Let's Make This Happen

Standing By

Tay's P.O.V.

"So how's it going?" I asked Jenna. She had called and asked me to meet her at some Starbucks near my place in New York. Me, being the desperate, hopefull, idiot that I am hoped that her and Momsen broke up.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something..." She said as she looked up at me. She looked so perfect right now. I tried to contain my excitement.

"Totally! Whatever you need!" I said. She laughed.

"Thanks! I know I'm not good at being romantic or expressing my feelings unless it's in a song. I was wondering if you could help me plan my two year anniversary with Taylor? Only if it's okay with you, I know that you're probably busy," she said. I immediately felt a little bit sadder. Why did I have to get my hopes up again? Well that's because I'm a moron.

"oh... Yeah, sure." I said trying to sound like it didn't hurt my feelings. Jenna didn't notice. Thank god!

"Thanks! You're the bestest friend ever!" She said in her cute little accent. I laughed as she attacked me with a hug.

"That's what friends are for, right?" I said quietly. Then, before I could get too comfortable, she pulled away and leaned back into her seat with a smile on her face.

"So where should we start with this?" She asked. I thought about it for a minute.

"Do you remeber what bar you met at?" I asked. She shook her head.

"No, but I could asks Hayley!" She said. I shook my head.

"It doesn't mean anything if YOU don't remember..." I said. She nodded and looked back down at her drink.

"Where was you're first date?" I asked. She looked at her coffee cup and smiled to herself. Can I just say... Ugh! Ew! Yuck! Gross!!! Why can't you be with me!?!

"We snuck into a movie theatre to watch hunger games... We spent the entire time annoying people and throwing popcorn at people's heads... It was the best!" She said giggling a little bit as she reminisced.

"Well, you can sneak her into another movie. Then afterwards take her out and have a picnic at a park." I said. I was totally jealous of Momsen. If only Jenna and I could go on an amazing date like the one I was describing. At least Jenna was happy. She looked at me with wide eyes and a big smile.

"That's the best idea ever!!! Thank you Tay! You're the best!" She said. She did a weird little dance in her seat. It was so adorable that it made me laugh.

"Haven't I always been an amazing friend?" I said jokingly.

"Duh! But only now are you putting it to good use!" She said as she settled back down in her chair.

"When is the two year anniversary again?" I asked.

"In three days. Why?" She asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

"So I can remember to buy a gallon of ice cream and mourn over my loneliness. Nothing too bad" I said only half joking.

"Hey! Don't talk about yourself like that! You'll find the right guy, unlike me. I Went for the right girl!" She said trying to make me laugh.

"Jenna..." I said. She immediately noticed my seriousness. "I like girls..." I said. She looked at me wide eyed.

"Oh... My... God..." She said as she stared into my soul. I was super embarrassed and tried to avoid eye contact.

"What?" I asked softly.

"You like Hayley!" She said smiling.

"No I dont!" I said like a ten year old. I continued to look everywhere except for her eyes.

"Yeah, you do! No wonder you always spend so much time together! Plus whenever I see you two you're always giving each other looks. It all makes so much sense now!" She said. 

1. We spend time together to try and brainstorm how to get you and momsen to break up

2. We give each other looks to communicate when to execute the plan even though it never works 

"I don't like Hayley!" I said now looking her in the eyes. She took my hand and i felt my face heating up.

"Hey, don't worry... I won't tell her. But I promise that I'll help you get her" she said. Oh no. I looked at my phone and pretended that I had a call.

"Oh, I gotta go. I have a call..." I said. Apparently it want good enough.

"Nice try Jardine, but it wasn't convincing enough." She said. I sat back down and let her talk the rest of the time. I didn't mind staring at her, I just wasn't up for her setting me up with someone I don't like. This is gonna suck.
