"Y/n you know it won't work long distance. We have to break up." Jenna grabbed y/n's hands for (most likely) the last time in a while."We're not breaking up, Jenna." You said with a small frown, squeezing her hand back."Yes we are, Y/n. We're just both so busy with our jobs...it'll never work." Her voice shook as she spoke. You could feel a slight trembling from her touch. She looked like she was about to cry, but couldn't.
It pained me so much seeing Jenna like this, and the fact that she's temporarily moving to Romania to film Wednesday just makes it that much worse.
I'm not going to lie to myself though; it hurts that she wants to leave me behind.
"Don't say that. We can still text! It's only for 8 months Jenna."
"Yeah well, I wouldn't be able to see you all day every day..." The tears started flowing faster now and she was shaking her head. She let go of your hand and walked away as the announcer called passengers to gate B.
"I don't want to argue with you anymore. Just please try to understand why I have to go." Her voice broke on the last sentence.
And that was the last conversation I had with my ex girlfriend Jenna Ortega. Until...
~
February 5th, 2023. I apparently won a Grammy but...I'm super nervous because guess who's announcing it! Jenna fucking Ortega. My ex girlfriend! What are the odds...right? Anyway, here goes nothing....I walk into the room and there are thousands of people sitting at tables, clapping politely, and then a familiar figure walks to the front to stand at the podium. And I swear, if I didn't know any better, I'd go up there and kiss her right now. But I do know better and my stomach feels queasy. So I take a deep breath and focus on her face instead. God damn, it's been a little over a year since I've seen her and I still get butterflies when I do.
Like, literally butterflies. She looks stunning today in a black suit, red lipstick and brown hair tied up neatly. Her dark eyes sparkle as they look around the room before they finally lock with mine, and my heart starts beating rapidly again. As she takes a step closer, a smile appears on her lips...this isn't fair!!
The audience claps for Jenna as she walks up the steps and over to the microphone. As soon as the sound of applause stops ringing, the crowd falls silent and wait anxiously for her to speak. Her voice is powerful and commanding yet soft as it rings out over the sea of people.
"Hi everyone. Thank you so much for attending this award ceremony! This is a great honor to me and many others. Now, first off congratulations on winning such a prestigious award!" She says with a smirk.
People around me cheer and applaud. I really hope the award goes to me, I mean it's me against three other amazing musicians what chance do I really have? But I'm excited to hear what she has to say.
The next thing she says is "Now, it's between Gayle for abcdefu, Lizzo for about damn time, Steve Lacy for bad habit and...Y/n l/n...for end of a life." I can tell she's forcing a smile right now, she's thinking of everything we went through together.
"And the winner is...Y/n L/n for end of a life!" Jenna pauses for dramatic effect, and the crowd gives a thunderous round of applause. When everyone quietens down, she continues.
"So Y/n, would you like to come up and accept the award?" The crown cheers loudly once again. I feel like my eardrums are about to bleed from how loud it is. I nod frantically and start walking towards the stage, making sure not to trip and stumble. Everyone watches me as I approach and Jenna grabs onto my shoulder to keep me standing upright.
Once I reach the stage, I turn to look back at everyone. They are looking at me as if waiting for me to do something stupid or embarrassing, so I turn around and give them a tight lipped smile before walking towards the mic. Once I'm standing in front of everyone, I clear my throat, trying to hide the shake in my voice. "Thank you so much for having me tonight," I say in a low tone. I'm scared to raise my voice in case I make someone else laugh.
"Alright, thanks for the nice reaction." Jenna smiles widely. The crowd seems surprised that I actually replied.
I turn towards Jenna. "I didn't want my career to leave me just like you did." I tried to make a joke but Jenna seemed to get it twisted and I see tears start to well up in her eyes. "Please don't cry." I whisper.
Before I can continue to apologize, she holds up a finger for me to stop talking and starts crying harder.
"No no no...please don't cry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please stop crying." The tears flow from her eyes now and I grab her shoulders gently, trying to calm her down. She keeps saying sorry, and I can't help but hug her. I don't know what to do to comfort my former girlfriend except that hugging seems appropriate. After a few seconds of embracing her and rubbing her back soothingly, the crowd erupts into another round of applause. I pull back slightly so that I can look her in the eye.
She wipes her eyes and laughs wetly at me. "You were so right. We should've stayed together." She lets go of me and takes one last look around the room. There are tears rolling down her cheeks and she's clearly struggling with controlling them.
"I need to talk to you backstage okay?"She asks quietly, taking hold of my arm softly. I nod in agreement and we both turn around and make our way off the stage. She guides me through the throngs of people until she leads me into a hallway which is pretty much deserted. She lets go of my hand as she turns to face me. "I can't live without you y/n." She whispers, grabbing ahold of my hands with hers. She leans closer until her lips meet mine, and the whole world slows down.
the kiss is intense. Jenna presses harder against me as our tongues fight for dominance. I put my hand on her waist and pull her as close as possible and the pressure builds even more. After a second or two, Jenna pulls away and rests her forehead against mine.
"What do you say we get some air?" I ask breathlessly. Her eyes flutter open and a tiny smile forms on her face.
"Sounds good to me." Her voice is shaky, but she's obviously very happy about kissing me, which I am too. She wraps her arms around my neck, pulls me down slightly and kisses me again. "Let's go."
(yes someone did get a picture of that kiss and it went viral the next day...oops 😬)
