*JENNA'S POV*
Jayden started diving into her new songs that she wrote as soon as we sat down on the bed. I enjoyed reading all of the new and upcoming songs she had.

Not only that, but Jayden ended up going through her entire songbook with me. Songs she had written when she first came out into the public eye.

It was quite interesting. She broke down all of the lyrics, went into the writing process with me, and her creative process as well. I felt like I learned a whole new level of Jayden Gooding that not much people knew about.

By the time we realized, hours went by. We looked at the clock to see that it was already one in the morning.

"Shit. I didn't even peep that it was this late. I should get going back to my room, we need our nights rest."

"I have somewhat of a weird request.."

"Which is..?"

"Do you think you can spend the night with me? Dominic has been blowing me up all day, and I'm afraid that he'll track me down and try to hurt me. I want someone to be here with me just in case."

Apart of that was a lie, But apart of that was also true. I was scared of Dominic, but I also wanted to spend more time with Jayden.

"You sure? You won't find that weird? I don't find it weird, I'm just asking you."

"If I found it weird, I wouldn't have asked you. Please?"

I pouted, giving Jayden my famous Ortega puppy dog eyes. Jayden chuckled, giving in and putting her notebook down on the desk that was in the room.

"Okay, fine. I'll stay the night."

"Yay! I knew that would work."

I pulled Jayden down on the bed next to me, getting underneath the covers afterwards. For a few seconds, Jayden was happy. But then, I noticed she grew a frown on her face and she became upset.

"You okay, Jay? What's wrong?"

"There's just a lot. Do you ever look back on certain people, and just wish you didn't meet them in the first place?"

"Yeah, actually. A lot of people. Including Dominic. Are you feeling that way towards Selena?"

"I'm starting to. I mean, my best music is about her and I appreciate her for that. But otherwise? I'm in heartbreaking pain. My heart shatters every time that I see her and Justin back together. Every time I hear her name, it just brings me to the darkest place. I wasted so much time on her, only for her to step out on me and go back to the guy who hurt her most. Some days, I just wake up and wish I wasn't here anymore. It's just so painful."

My heart completely broke for Jayden. I didn't know that her pain and breakup was this bad. If I could take away all of her pain and protect it onto someone else, I would. Just so she could be happy again.

"I'm so sorry you're feeling all of this pain, Jay. You don't deserve it. What Selena did to you? Was so fucking wrong. Any girl would be lucky, and die just to have you as their girlfriend. It's her loss. I know that eventually, you'll find someone that's way better than her. And someone who appreciates you."

"Thanks.. I really appreciate that, Jenna.."

Jayden was looking me up and down, slowly getting closer to my face. As soon as our faces were two inches apart, she paused and looked at me.

"Can I.. kiss you..?"

"You're never supposed to ask, Jay.. you just do it.."

My heart melted as I realized that Jayden was actually making the first move on me. Never in a million years did I ever think that my biggest celebrity crush, would be making her first move on little ole me.

As Jayden started to kiss me, she pulled me closer as I deepened the kiss. And it was everything that I dreamed for, everything that I wished for..

Magical. A dream come true.

I never felt like this with any guy that I ever kissed or dated. It felt like a thousand of fireworks were bolting through my body as we kept kissing.

I felt Jayden's hands feel all around my body, slowly slipping my shirt off as I gave her the okay. I slipped her shirt off as well.

As soon as I felt like Jayden wanted to do more, I unfortunately pulled away and stopped her. I didn't want her to think I was using her.

"What's wrong? Why are we stopping? I thought you were enjoying this?"

"No, no, no, it's not like that. I am enjoying this. This is the best anyone has made me felt, in a while. I just think we shouldn't be doing something like this, especially when you're so vulnerable at the moment. I don't want you to think I'm using you. Or regret this later on."

"You think I would regret having sex with you? Or is it because you think that I'm messing with other girls at the moment?"

"What? No! I never said that, Jayden. I just think you need to get your head on straight before you have sex with me. I wanna be the only one that you're thinking about. Not Selena. Not Kali. Just me."

"Wow, okay.. in that case, I'm gonna get going. I'm sure Dominic won't come to get you. You'll be okay tonight."

Jayden then let go of me, grabbing her shirt and slipping it back on. I then grew upset, grabbing onto Jayden's arm.

"Jay, please.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I really like you, and I just want you to know that. I care about you, more than just having sex with you.. don't leave, please..."

"I think it's best if we just call it a night. I'll see you tomorrow, Jenna. Goodnight."

Fuck! Why do I feel so guilty? All I was trying to do was look out for her...
