jenna ortega imagines (gxg)

unexpected endings | angst

"Jenna, please just listen to me." you begged to her anxiously, following her like a lost puppy as she made her way through the crowded airport. You desperately kept trying to get a hold of her wrist in order to stop her for just a moment, but she refused to give you any kind of attention. Knowing she wouldn't change her mind, you felt your lip tremble weakly as you stopped dead in your tracks, feeling your stomach turn.

You stood there and watched her silently as she walked further away, the tears rolling down your warm cheeks uncontrollably. No words could even explain your pain in this moment, nor did you ever expect this to happen, especially not to the two of you.

Jenna breaking up with you.

"y/n?" you heard your girlfriend's voice from the seat right beside you. You looked up from your phone and smiled at her sweetly, "Yes baby?" you said softly, moving your hand to the top of her thigh, rubbing little circles with your thumb. The both of you were waiting for her flight to be called, as she was flying to Romania to work on a new project.

She glanced down at your hand, biting the inside of her cheek before she looked up at you, "We need to talk." she said quietly. You laughed a little at her words, "Okayyyy..? Then, let's talk?" you looked at her with a frown and silly smile on your face. She sighed to herself, looking hesitant as she put her phone away to properly focus on the conversation she was about to bring up. Looking back at you again, she tucked her hair behind her ears nervously and you couldn't help but giggle to yourself a little, "My god, are you like breaking up with me or something?" you said jokingly, squeezing her thigh gently to ease her nervousness.

Except her reaction to your words was not what you expected, at all.

She remained silent, her only reaction being to move your hand away from her slowly. You looked at her intensely with the most confused look on your face, "Jenna I was joking..." you breathed out almost inaudibly. She looked down, staring to play with her fingers to try and keep herself calm, "But I'm not, y/n. We need to end things between us, it won't work. I'll be away for literally eight months." she spoke quietly.

You stared at the side of her face as you tried to process the information she had just thrown at you. You felt a lump forming in your throat and you shook your head quickly, "That's not true! You'll be gone for a while but this won't be the first time? We've always made it work Jenna, what you're saying is total bullshit right now." you huffed in anger, feeling the tears finally rolling down your cheeks. You were so confused and her declaration literally came out of nowhere, you weren't letting it slip.

You noticed how she pressed her lips together, still refusing to even look at you as her loose brown hair now hid most of her face. You frowned at her behaviour; this wasn't the Jenna you've always known, the Jenna you fell in love with.

"Jenna for fuck's sake can you at least look at me when I'm talking to you??" you said harshly, sniffling and wiping your wet cheeks with the back of your hands. You couldn't believe what was happening, and as much as you usually try to stay calm, this time you were absolutely angered and just overall deeply fucking hurt.

"I can't do this, y/n." she whispered, her voice coming out shaky as she quickly stood up. She grabbed her bag and suitcase, not daring to look at you before she started walking away. You remained still for a few seconds, struggling to believe everything that happened in the last five minutes. You snapped back to reality as you heard her flight being called throughout the airport, "Shit." you whispered to yourself, quickly grabbing your stuff and running after her.

You weren't letting her go.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks, making you exhale the breath you had been holding in. Slowly turning around, she finally looked at you for what seemed like the first time in forever, her brown eyes meeting yours. A few meters were separating the two of you as everyone in the airport didn't seem to notice what was going on in any way. She wiped her tears and your heart broke at the sight of her crying, even if you were in the exact same state yourself. Holding back a sob, you tried to step closer but she only backed further away, "Please, baby I love you... don't leave me like this..." you begged weakly, still hopeful she would change her mind. You couldn't live without her, you couldn't imagine your life without her right by your side. She was your everything; she saved you from your own dark self, and you wouldn't make it without her. Not anymore.

Her flight was called again as a last time warning.

"I'm sorry y/n." she mouthed, before covering her mouth with her hand to cover a sob and quickly turning around, walking away and disappearing in the crowded place...

... making your heart stop beating.
