One Shots

The Other Side (Jenna McDougall)

Sienna's POV

I stood on the train platform getting ready to leave for university. "I love you Jenna. I will miss you so much." I said to my best friend hugging her. "Never forget me." She sniffled. "I wouldn't dream of it." I said. My train arrived. She hugged me one last time and I climbed on. I sat at the window and waved goodbye. The train soon pulled out of the station and both of us were in tears. Jenna and I tried staying in contact but it didn't work. I was back in our hometown of Sydney. I drove to her mom's house in hopes of her being there. She must've moved out of her shitty apartment by now so why would I go there. I pulled up to her mom's and ran to the door knocking. I have missed Jenna terribly. I realized I have loved her more than I let on and I need to see her. "Sienna." Her mom said answering the door. "Hi mom, Jenna here." I said. I missed calling her mom. "No, she is on tour honey." She said. I looked at her confused. "Jenna didn't tell you." She said. I shook my head no. She brought me inside and I saw Jenna all over the place. She was finally a singer. In the past seven years she is living out her dream. I sniffled. "Honey, don't cry." Mom said. "I miss her so much." I said. "She will be here tonight in Sydney for a concert. Take my ticket. Go see her sweetheart. You both need it." She said. I nodded and thanked her kissing her cheek. I ran home and got all dressed up. Well I put on leggings, a tank top and a flannel. I fixed my curly hair and pulled on a beanie. I put my hoop in my nose and pulled on my sneakers. I arrived at the venue just in time as Tonight Alive was coming off. Stupid traffic. All the kids here with her band on their shirts. Everyone was here for her. As soon as I saw Jenna walk on stage all the memories came flooding back. How we would stay up late at night talking on the phone or how are sleepovers we didn't go to sleep until at least three in the morning. How it took me forever to get my license. When I let her cut my hair or when we would watch sunsets. She always came to me when she needed help. That one time when she was out of the country and she spent all that money to call me just to say she missed me. I miss her. I need her. I pushed my way to the front. "This is our last song. This song goes out to anyone you love or someone you miss." Jenna announced. She began singing. The lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks. She felt the same way as I did.

I was back in high school when

We were talking late, from ten

Staying up till three am

Just friends

You didn't have your license yet

We would lie under sun sets

Without a single worry yet

Just friends

And you would let me cut your hair

I thought about you everywhere

I haven't been the same since then

Just friends

Cause every time I ran

I ran to you

I meant it every time I said I loved you

I kiss the thought of you and I

I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night?

I still wish we could've made it right

But we can't say that we never tried

I guess everything seems more clear

Here on the other side

I left you at the station where

I would cry and watch you stare

Out the window as you left

Just friends

I called you from a payphone. I'm

Out of the country but I'm fine

I just miss you all the time

Just friends

Cause every time I ran

I ran to you

I meant it every time I said I loved you

I kiss the thought of you and I

I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night

I still wish we could've made it right

But we can't say that we never tried

I guess everything seems more clear

Here on the other side

Here on the other side

And there are so many things

I wanted to say

But I was a mess

And you moved away

And I think of all the times that you were right

I wish I could explain

Cause every time I ran

I ran to you

I meant it every time I said I loved you

I kiss the thought of you and I

I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night

I still wish we could've made it right

You can't say that I never tried

You can't say that I never tried

Cause every time I ran

I ran to you

I meant it every time I said I loved you

I kiss the thought of you and I

I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night

I still wish we could've made it right

But we can't say that we never tried

I guess everything seems more clear

Here on the other side

And if you're wondering

I'm great

I'm stronger now but still

The same

My love for you it will

Remain

My friend

I managed to sneak my way around the barricade backstage as the song was almost over. As she sang my love for you it will remain my friend, I walked out on stage. The guys in her band looked at me weird. As the crowd cheering died down, I spoke. "JENNA!" I yelled. Her head turned and she saw me. I saw tears in her eyes. There were tears in mine. I ran to her and put my hands on her cheeks kissing her passionately. "I love you too." I said. She wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed me back. Everyone cheered. We headed off stage. "I am so sorry I left. I love you, Jenna. Please be mine." I said crying. "Sienna, please don't cry." She said kissing me. "Jenna, I love you." I said. "I love you too, Si. I would love to be yours." She said kissing me again. She held me in her arms until I calmed down. "I came running to you this time." I chuckled. "Well none of us will be running now." She said. I nodded and kissed her cheek. "When did you get home?" she asked. "Today, I came straight to see you." I said. "So you didn't unpack?" she asked. I shook my head no. "Good, you are coming with me on tour. I can't spend another night without you. And now that you are my girlfriend, I don't plan on spending another night alone for a long time." She said. I smiled and kissed her. "No more staying up until three am though. I need my sleep." I said. "As long as we are in each other's arms sleep is aloud." She said. I smiled and we headed to my place to get my clothes. Finally, I am with the girl of my dreams.
