Age Is Just A Number

Chapter Thirty Five

Jenna ran outside as soon as she saw Tays car pull up. Tay didn't even have a chance to say hello before Jenna was pulling her into a massive hug.

"Oh my god Tay. You're amazing. I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you."

Tay giggled at her friends reaction to her present. "I know Jen. Now come on. I brought Chinese."

The blonde finally released her friend from her tight embrace. "I'm just so excited. You know I've always wanted to go to Disney world."

It was true. Ever since Tay met Jenna in the 6th grade, the one thing she wanted to do in America was go to Disney. Every year for her birthday she asked her parents if she could go but they always said they didn't have the money.

Now it was just the two of them making the trip but that was perfectly fine with Jenna.

"How did you even get tickets? They're like, $100 a piece." She asked as they walked into her home.

Tay shrugged and set the food down on the counter. "I was saving up for something special. It just so happened that something special was you."

Jenna felt her face grow hot. Sometimes Tay was just to sweet.

"Awww. Come on Jen. Don't blush. I just wanted to do something for you for putting up with...this whole situation."

"You don't have to do that. You know I'm okay."

"Do I?" She asked very seriously. To be honest, Tay was worried about her. Things seemed to be getting back to normal between them but she knew Jenna. She was really good at hiding how she felt. She could be dying inside and no one would be able to tell.

Jenna let out a sigh. She hated talking about her feelings but she couldn't lie to Tay.

"Tay. I'm okay. I promise. I mean, yes it sucks, but you're still here. You didn't bail on me. That's all I really need. You in my life."

Tays face lit up with a huge smile before she tackled Jenna in a hug.

"You're so cute when you're sweet! Come on. Let's go watch Ten Things I Hate About You."

They settled into Jenna's bed with their food before pressing play. They had seen this movie way to many times and they could quote almost the entire thing.

"So, how was your date?" Jenna asked once the movie started.

Tay smiled. "Amazing. Like, really amazing. I just wish we didn't have to drive so far to be out together, you know?"

Jenna nodded. She understood how hard it was. Back when she was still in the closet she dated a girl named Jess. They couldn't go on any real dates or even hold hands. That's why they broke up. She knew how stressful keeping it all a secret could be.

"I know, but it won't be like that forever. You'll get there."

Tay sighed and laid her head on Jenna's shoulder.

"I know. It just sucks now."

Jenna ran her fingers through Tays hair and then kissed the top of her head. She loved being there to comfort Tay. It made her feel like just maybe she was more important to her than Hayley in some way.

"I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you."

Tay gave her friend a small smile before turning her attention back to the movie. She loved that Jenna loved her. She just wished she felt the same.

A/N: Sorry this took so long. I get distracted really easily and I keep forgetting about this. But here you go. Only 2 chapters left I think.
