CO STAR → JENNA ORTEGA (GXG)

|TWENTY EIGHT|

*JENNA'S POV*
I really can't believe that I just witnessed something so traumatic. I literally just witnessed Devyn getting robbed and shot three times.

This definitely is going to cause me PTSD. I'm going to need so much therapy after this. What was the reason for this? Did she owe someone money? Was she in something she wasn't supposed to be?

"I'm here! Sorry I'm kinda late, my manager kept talking my ear off."

Jayden came into the waiting room quickly. I jumped up from out of the seat I was sitting in, running over to Jayden.

"Good things you were not there! That was so traumatizing! I don't know how I'm going to be able to continue to be normal after this —"

"Baby, shhh.. it's okay, calm down. I know that you just seen something tragic. We'll get through this together, though. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I should've been there to make sure you were okay and to protect you."

Jayden pulled me into a tight hug. I shivered in fear as she held onto me. Mason joined in on our hug, and that's when a nurse came out to the waiting room.

"You guys are here with Devyn Brown?"

"Yes, we are. How is she? Is she going to be okay?"

"Devyn is going to be fine. She got through emergency surgery just fine. Now she's just resting. She's going to have to remain in here for about few weeks, though."

Whew, well and alive. I absolutely hate the concept of death. That still doesn't change the fact that I almost seen her die right in front of me.

"That's great! God is good! I'm just happy she's okay."

Mason exclaimed. Jayden nodded in agreement with a smile.

"My brother is right. God is great."

*JAYDEN'S POV*
It's been six months since the shooting situation with Devyn happened. She's now the one in the wheelchair while I'm the one recovering from getting hit.

I've been in physical therapy for the last two months, and it's going very well. Since I've been recovering so well, I was able to finish up filming all of my scenes for the movie.

Devyn still managed to be apart of the camera crew, even though she's the crippled one. I wasn't paying her any attention, though. Jenna hasn't really been, either.

Jenna has been going to therapy for the last few months since the shooting, considering she has major PTSD now. And I feel extremely terrible that I'm the reason for that. But I can't ever let her know. She would never talk to me again.

We've been helping each other out, though. Her with my physical therapy, me with her mental therapy. We work better as a team.

Scream 6 has just been released two days ago, and it has been the number one movie all around the globe.

About that real first date I promised Jenna? I finally took her out on it last night. We went out for some dinner and ice cream afterwards.

I'm now on the Jimmy Fallon show, where we're discussing me being in the movie, my music career, and my love life. Everyone was just as surprised as Jimmy was because Jenna and I had been low key from the public for a long time before coming out with our relationship.

"How is it being one of the most successful R&B stars who get all of the beautiful women? First you had Selena Gomez, now Jenna Ortega. Tell us how it is to be a winner!"

Jimmy said excitedly as the crowd cheered for me. I chuckled and blushed, looking at the crowd then at Jimmy.

"Well, Selena and I had our own run. You know, I felt like we time went on, we just grew apart. And that's okay. I genuinely wish Selena all of the best. Jenna came into my life at a very dark time, but she helped me through it all. Selena and I broke up, then I became crippled for six months. It was a lot, but Jenna was there every second of the way. And I will forever be grateful for that."

Once I finished speaking, the crowd clapped and cheered loudly. Jimmy nodded and clapped as well.

"That's beautiful, Jayden. I'm glad that you're in a better place now. So tell us more about the music. Scream 6 just released. So what's next for you and your music?"

"While I was unable to work on the movie, I actually was writing and recording more songs for my upcoming album. Once I release my next album, my new world tour will be announced shortly after that. I've already been rehearsing and everything. I'm super excited to get back on the road to my fans."

"And your fans are very excited to get back to you. Ladies and gentlemen, Jayden Gooding will be back performing her new hit song Over right when we come back from break! Stay tuned!"

"I miss you soooo much! I know we just seen each other, but I can't help it. It sucks that you can't be on these press runs with the rest of us."

Jenna groaned while we were on FaceTime. I called her real quick during the commercial break. Her and the rest of the cast were on a press tour for Scream 6 while I was back to doing my normal routine.

Back to creating and promoting my music. I pouted and blew her a small kiss afterwards.

"I know, it sucks. But you're doing your thing, and I'm doing my thing. We're both getting the bag. Plus we just made headlines as the newest and hottest celebrity couple. We're in for a long run with each other. We're not going anywhere."

"You promise?"

"I promise you. You know I wouldn't break a promise."

"Good. I'm gonna get going to sleep after I watch your performance. Good luck, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you more, princess."

"I don't think that's humanly possible. I promise."

Jenna chucked. I smiled and shook my head lightly, hanging up the phone because I now had to finish the night off with my performance.

And that was the crazy, wild, love story on how I fell in love with my Co Star...
