Matt rushed back to Jenna's apartment, needing her after what had happened.
He'd texted her, but she hadn't responded, and he needed her support after this...
He slipped his keys into the lock and ran in. "Jenna! Jen!"
She exited her room, a towel around her body, her eyes widened at his tone of voice. "You ok, Matt?"
He shook his head silently, tears streaming down his cheek, and he rushed into her arms.
"Matt... what... what happened?"
He wished Laura Jayne was back... his sister he loved, his sister that hed been so close to in his childhood years. "Laura... she's-- gone... The car..."
Jenna slipped her arms around him. "Oh Matt... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..." She went on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.
He suddenly became aware of the thin towel separating their bodies and pulled away quickly. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you just got out of the shower..."
Jenna laughed. "It's okay, I'm not naked, in any case. There's a towel."
Matt smiled. "Yeah." He didn't tell her that seeing her naked wasn't a problem for him. (Whoa sorry I didn't mean to have it all sexual haha keep reading)
Jenna retreated into her room and quickly pulled on some clothes, not really caring whether she looked good. Because all that mattered was that Matt was outside her room in a state of great distress, and he needded her now. This was her moment to be the true, loyal, devoted girlfriend she'd always wanted to be.
She went back to Matt and sat next to him on the couch. "Listen Matt..... I'm so sorry..." she didn't know what else to say.
He shook his head. "It's not your fault... they're trying to get her back on track..."
Jenna looked up. "Hold on. She's not... dead?"
Matt stared at her. "Didn't I say that?"
"Uh... no."
"Oh. Well, she's just not... completely okay. She might not survive..."
Jenna hugged him. "I'll be with you every second of every step of the way, Matt. I'm your girlfriend. I will be by your side the whole fight, okay?"
Matt hugged her even harder. "Thanks Jen."
She kissed him. "I love you."
He tickled her stomach. "I love you more."
Jenna giggled. "Matt stoooooppp! It tickles stop stop stop stop stop!"
He let out a hearty chuckle. "Jennaaaaa..."
"What?!" She screamed through a laugh, her body convulsing as she tried to pull away from him.
"I love youuuuu..."
Jenna succeeded in pulling away from him, and she sat on a different chair. "I love you more."
Matt smiled at the beautiful girl sitting across the room. "I love you most."
Jenna made a cute pouty face. "That was my line!" She said in a pretend whiny voice.
He stood up, strode across the room, and picked her up bridal style. "Not anymore, babe..." He bent his head down to kiss her softly, and she responded by putting her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply, her lips closer to his than usual.
He put her down on the sofa and lay down on it next to her, still kissing her passionately.
Jenna was lying on top of him, her lips against his, her body pressed up close to his.
Matt was in bliss, in heaven, so happy... Then he realized that it was 3 o'clock and they had to be at rehearsal in fifteen minutes. He pushed Jenna from him gently. "Jenna..."
Her eyes were closed, her head on his chest. "Mmmm?"
"We gotta go! Rehearsal at 3:15! We should've left ten minutes ago!"
Jenna gasped. "Oh shit! Moff specifically told me I can't be late anymore or they gotta get rid of me shit shit shit let's go!"
Matt grabbed his keys and slipped out the door, Jenna clinging tightly to his hand as they ran out to his car.
*fifteen minutes later*
They ran into the seats just as Jenna's alarm went off, indicating that they were right on time. Jenna breathed a sigh of relied. "Whew..."
Matt slipped his hand under the table and took her hand. "Breathe Jen... It's all good... we're okay..."
She nodded and let out a small laugh as Moffat gave her a look.
"You're lucky, Jenna. Next time you better be more on time."
"I was on time!" Jenna said saucily.
Moffat raised his eyebrow. "I'm going to make you do something terrible next episode if you continue being almost late."
Jenna stuck her tongue out at him. "Shut up, Moff. You suck."
He laughed and opened the script. "So... first read of episode 6..."
