A/N: (Not proofread)

Jenna's POV

It's been a rough couple of weeks with my job and Y/n all in one. Work has been hectic, there have been tons of rumors about Percy and me that I wasn't allowed to speak out on, so it's been causing me problems. Relationship problems.

Y/n's been distant, it's been two weeks and a half since she started to slowly ignore me, 4 days since she spoke to me and 2 days since we slept in the same bed. I've tried speaking to her, I've tried asking her what was wrong but all I got in return was silence. 

I've even tried getting her favorite foods and snacks but when that didn't work, I just gave her space like she requested. It feels worse when she's spoken to every single person to cross her path except for me. 

She even talks to Percy when I bring her on set or to hang out with the cast, that's when I realized Percy wasn't the cause for our relationship problems. It was me. I was the problem, and I didn't know how to fix it without breaking us even more. 

Y/n's been hanging out with her friends more and refusing to even look at me and it's becoming a problem. Well, it was already a problem the day it started but you know what I mean. 

I haven't slept in a week, the directors are having me take a week off because 'I seem distracted and in need of a mental health day, several'. At least, that's what they said.

So, now I'm on my way home, I didn't feel a thing anymore. I just felt numb. I don't know what to do, what to say to fix this. I don't know how to save my relationship and inside it feels like someone just ripped my heart out. 

I have a feeling that we're not going to be able to survive like this any longer, I think she might break up with me, but I don't want that. Just thinking about it hurts. 

Y/n is special in every way imaginable, she sees me for me, doesn't judge me, doesn't think I'm rude when I'm taking my work seriously, she doesn't get mad when I go silent for a couple hours. Instead, she takes me in her arms and holds me until I fall asleep. 

She doesn't leave when I think I've given her every reason to, she doesn't feel pressured by what I do for a living, she just accepts every part of me, and I honestly have no clue how I'd ever make it without her. 

She is my entire world and if she were to say that we were over, my whole world would shift, it, I, would fall apart. 

Even though the world doesn't know she's my girlfriend, she means everything to me, and I can't handle losing her.

Y/n's POV

I hated doing this, seeing her like this was breaking me internally, Jen wasn't eating, she wasn't sleeping, I keep hearing her cry late at night when she thinks I'm asleep and she's been overworking herself.

 I didn't want to do this but one of my ex-girlfriend threatened to out me to my family, so I had no choice but to. 

Jenna and I have been dating for over a year and I had yet to even come out to my parents, they were very homophobic people, which is why only Jenna and I's close friends know about us. 

I mean, Jenna and I haven't even said 'I love you' yet she wanted me to be comfortable, so we took things slow, it's only recently that things have picked up pace. We started telling our friends, Jenna's family, we finally started being intimate with each other and I don't just mean sex.

I wanted more than anything to come out to my parent the first couple months but every time I tried; I froze. Jenna was very understanding, she told me that I didn't ever have to come out if I wasn't ready. She said that because she knew my family and I weren't close, we barely even talk and when we do it always turns into an argument. 

My mother kept trying to make for all the things she put me through, and I could never forgive her for it, my father and had nothing in common, he hated me with a passion. I just know that if I come out, it won't end well for me.

I was currently laying in Jenna and I's bed, crying. I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to break up with her, I didn't mean to hurt her. I just needed space to think but I didn't think about how it was affecting Jenna and that makes me a horrible girlfriend. I think it's time I finally tell Jenna what's going on.

When I had finally stopped crying, I got out of bed and went into the shower. Less than 30 minutes later, I was on the couch waiting for Jenna to get home so we could finally talk.

I had made her favorite food, I wanted her to get back to eating normally again. I didn't want her developing an eating disorder the way I did in the past due to my parents. 

I almost didn't hear my phone ring as I was staring at the text Jenna had sent while I was in the shower, indicating she was on her way home. When I snapped out of it, I realized that ironically, my mother was calling. 

I sigh heavily before answering, "Mother why are you calling me this late?", I could already hear in her voice that she was upset, "Robin called today, she said some very interesting things to your father and me. I was calling to let you know that we will be at your doorstep 8am sharp and you better be home young lady-" I gasp as I felt my tears well up all over again as I cried.

Robin is my ex; she and I were best friends in high school and then we became more than that. She didn't like that I wasn't out to my parents and broke up with me. Our friendship fell apart after that, I hadn't seen or heard from her until a few weeks ago. 

Just then I heard the door open, and in came Jenna looking exhausted. When we made eye contact as she entered the living room, she looked at me worriedly. 

I looked away and focused on my mother's voice. "Your father is very upset and so am I, we raised you better than this, we will be taking you to the church tomorrow and that is final", I sobbed, and I felt Jenna's hand on my back, I didn't pull away this time, we needed each other more now than ever. 

"Mother please just let me explain-", she cut me off and yelled into the phone, "I don't want to hear Y/n, we are coming to get you away from that filthy girl and we will have the priest pray for you. Do you understand young lady?!"

I kept crying as Jenna held me in her arms, she knew not to say a word the moment she heard me say 'mother' and just held me from behind. "I understand Mother", and with that, she hung up. 

I dropped my phone and sighed, wiping my tears as they fell. "I know that you've been going through something, I don't know if it's me or something completely different, but you can still talk to me. Baby, I can't take this anymore-"

I pull away from her and sigh, "Does that mean you're breaking up with me then?" her eyes widen in shock, "What? No. I would never. I'm tired of the silence, just talk to me, please".

I knew she was right; I shouldn't have just straight up ignored her, she's my girlfriend, my secret keeper, she's my life and shouldn't have been so scared to tell her. 

"My parents coming over tomorrow." Jenna looked a little concerned, "Robin outed me to my parents. My mother said that her and my father are coming to take me away from her tomorrow, they're going to take me to the church and probably take me back home." 

Jenna didn't know what to say, she was in utter shock. "What-What does that even mean?", she takes a few steps closer to me and I let her. 

"It means that if they take me, I'm never going to see you again. They are very strict; you couldn't even begin to imagine the lengths they went to when I was a kid to make sure I wouldn't turn out like this."

 she shakes her head and wraps me in her arms in a tight embrace, "I don't wanna go baby, please don't let them take me away" I sobbed into her arms and held her tight. 

It seems like neither of us could catch a break, I wish I didn't have parents like mine. I wish it didn't hurt this much and I wish I didn't hurt Jenna so much. 

"Don't you worry baby girl; I'm not letting anyone take you away from me. I love you; I won't let them hurt you anymore." 

For the first time in weeks, I smiled. I smiled because she finally said it and I was confident that Jenna was going to keep me safe. 

"I love you too and I'm sorry for everything." she kisses my forehead, "It's okay baby, everything's going to be okay."
