Jenna's POV:
That night, I slept in my own bed in my own, small, cold apartment. Niall drove me home and then kissed me once more before I walked into the house. He waited until I got in and then he got back in his car and drove away.
I'm just happy that yesterday was Friday because I have a lot of homework and none of it got done obviously. I better get started!
Alex's POV:
Harry came In my car and drove home with me yesterday. He had to anyway since he came in Niall's car and Niall had left with Jenna. Harry and I were still taking a walk and learning a lot about each other. I found out that he also loves apple juice and that he has a billion bottles of it at home. Yes, I know it's a childish drink, but I can't help it. It tastes so good! I also learned that his parents divorced when he was young but his mother is with a good man named Robin who Harry really likes. So basically, i did what i most wanted to do yesterday- find out more about Harry! But anyway, Harry just lives across the street from me so its not like its going to be a problem if we Occasionally take each other home. But I'm happy he came with me.
* Good morning sunshine ;)* Harry texted me! I already know him well Enough after one day of hearing his voice, that I know what he would sound like. It is 11:00 and just about the time I Usually wake up.. Soo.. Perfect timing then!
Me :* good morning to u too :3 I had a great time yesterday :)*
Harry: yes! So did i. We should go out again sometime.. But just us.. Not with everyone else lol ;)
Me: lmao yes! We should Definitely.. ALONE!
Harry: lol okay it's settled then. How about at 9:35 tmr. Love Actually is playing in the theatre. Thats my favorite movie! I'll pick you up and we could go?
Me: oh cool. Yes! Lets do it. I've actually never seen that movie but I hear its amazing. I can't wait!

Jenna's POV:
Okay. I am almost done with me homework and then I need a lonngggg nap. I'm so tired and last night I barely slept because I was thinking about Niall all night. Cliché, I know, but still. My phone sitting on my leg vibrates though out me as I feel hazy already and I jump a little.
Alex: OMGG JENNNNA GUESS WHAT!!?!?!?!
She always puts so much energy and feelings in her text messages. It's almost like I can feel her shaking my shoulders and telling me the news.

Wow I'm really happy for her. And Love Actually is my favorite movie also. I saw it only once with my parents when I was ten years old and I never saw it again. once is one too many times to watch it. we all had a great time that night. That movie was so great that you only needed to see it once. It was all fun and games...until... It happened- the one thing that had to ruin the best family moments ever- the accident. We were all laughing during the drive back home and saying our favorite parts of the movie. When it was my turn to share, some drunk driver with about four police cars chasing after him, all going 80 mph, ran a red light and crashed right into the front of the car. The car flipped. Both of my parents- gone...forever. I was in the back seat- buckled in tightly, but passed out after an Ambulance came and took me to the hospital. My hand got sliced in half, right down the middle, because of a big piece of glass, and I needed seven stitches. When I was all stitched up, I really wanted to see my parents, and then they told me what happened to them . I broke out into tears right at the scene. I knew that my life just turned upside down, within seconds. My grandparents took care of me until I turned 16. Then they moved to Florida and gave me the money my parents have been saving for me. I bought this apartment with it. That is probably why I'm never really in this cold place. Every time I step foot in here, I hear the screaming, crying, and the bad memories get flushed back into my mind and I feel like I'm nothing. I hate this place.
And though I'm 18 years old now, I don't drive.
I will never drive.
Ever.
I can't and I won't. I even get the chills every time I even step into the car when Alex is driving us to school or something. I guess I just never want to re-live that day-obviously. Everyone views me as this tough girl who will try anything, or be as loud as ever in public, or even care free- and don't get me wrong, I totally would do anything and be care free, but nothing is scarier then being well aware that once you've stepped foot in that car, you're risking everything. I have fears too.
Fears that i don't share with anyone.
They'er mine.
Only God knows about them.
Im Mostly afraid of...I guess dying- like my parents did...and dying before my life even takes off.
My parents were young too. My mom was 31, and my dad was 33.
Not many people know about this. Only Alex and her mom.
Even though the day I saw Love Actually was the worst day of my entire life. It will always be my favorite movie... and somewhat of a good time with my family..
kind of..
It reminds me of the good times with my family- rather than the bad. when we laughed together, cried together and lived together for what seems like just yesterday, but it gets further and further away from my memories everyday. And I guess it's just something that only I can understand.
It was the type of movie, and the type of day, that everything just felt right.. Despite what happened.
When I think back to that day, although it's not so clear in my memory anymore, I feel like smiling.. And laughing.
Not in the sick way that I'm laughing because of what happened to my parents...of course not.. But because I know they died..happy. We were laughing and they were thinking of me, and themselves, and well, the movie. So it couldn't have been that bad. They had happy thoughts in their heads.
I know it kind of sounds crazy that this day means so much, but again, it's something only I understand..
