Love Will Get You Through

JENNA's POV
'Okay Jen, you got this' I say to myself as I walk into early morning pro rehearsals. It's been a few weeks since Val and I decided to split up but things between us are still slightly weird so when I know I'm going to see him, butterflies take up a permanent residency in my stomach. I'm not sure if I'm just nervous to see him or mad at him or still in love with him or....wait, 'love'. Of course I'm still in love with him. That infectious smile, those enchanting eyes, his rough and tough image, yet gentle and caring nature. With things between us ending so suddenly, of course my love for him was still strong. Will it ever fade? Possibly, a bit. But, I know for a fact it will never disappear completely.
"Jenna! Over here!" I look to see Witney and Lindsay gesturing to me from the other side of the ballroom. "Hey guys!" I say brushing off my feelings and trying to appear to them as my 'cheery self', "I'll be right there!".
As I turn around to set down my bag I find myself crashing into a strong, muscular chest. "Oh I'm so..." I start to say as I look up and lock eyes with the man I ran into. "Sorry" Val says staring down at me. "Sorry" I say softly repeating the word. We stand there, frozen in time for a second when I hear my name yet again. "Jenna, come on! Mandy wants to go over the female pro part with us" Hayley calls to me. "Okay...I'm coming" I respond in a faint voice to my dark brunette friend. And with that I broke my gaze, turned away from Val, and walked off with Hayley.
VAL's POV
I just stood there and watched as Jenna was whisked away by Hayley. It took everything in me just to let her walk away because I would've chased after her in a heartbeat. Honestly, I wanted nothing more than to hold her delicate frame in my arms again but that would be selfish of me. After all, it's more of my fault than any for our sudden break up. Basically, I'm just an idiot who can't seem to realize the good things I have until I lose them. Jenna falls perfectly into that category. "Val, you ready bro?" I look over my shoulder and see my brother Maks walking up behind me. "Yeah, lets go". I say as we make our way over to the group of dancers.
"Okay" Mandy starts explaining to us her vision for the dance but I just can't seem to keep my mind off of Jenna. Long story short, I sent some messages to a girl I shouldn't have and I said some things I shouldn't have and I did some things I shouldn't have....okay, I screwed up big time, and Jenna definitely deserves a better man than me, but she was my everything.
"Okay, Val?" Mandy asks, snapping me back to reality. "Um, yeah" I say hesitantly. "Great! So you start on top of the judge's desk with Derek and Sasha." I take my place next to Derek up on the desk. "You alright, man?" Derek asks me. "Yeah, I'm fine. What is the combination we're doing up here, again?" "It's real simple, just a couple turns and lots of hip action" Sasha laughs. "Okay, and cue music!" Mandy states. The music starts and I start attempting the choreography. At first I was actually pulling it off, like I knew what I was doing, but then the turn sequence came and I turned the wrong way, and collided with Derek. I lost my balance falling from the judge's desk to the ballroom floor, hitting my head on the edge of the desk on my way down.
"Val!" I hear my brother scream. Everyone comes rushing around me but I'm staring into the deep blue eyes of the person from that cluster that I truly care for the most. "Val, are you okay?" I see Jenna's lips moving but I can't hear her voice, I just gazed up at her until suddenly, everything went black.
JENNA's POV
"Val!" I find myself shouting his name as I see his eyes begin to close. I absent-mindedly take his hand and squeeze it "Val, please wake up" I say in a slightly quieter volume than before. "An ambulance is on the way" Mandy says as we all just look at Val then back at each other, waiting for help to arrive.
MAK's POV
After what felt like forever the ambulance finally arrives, taking Val away on a gurney. An EMT approaches me and asks if I wanted to go along in the ambulance. Of course I wanted to go with Val, that's my baby brother in there, but after seeing the way Jenna's hands clung to Val's as they were trying to take him away, I felt like giving up that spot to Jenna would be the right thing to do.
"Jen" I call out as I make my way over to her. At this point, she's surrounded by a few other female pros who were trying to comfort her.
JENNA's POV
"Maybe God is just trying to teach him a lesson for being unfaithful to you" Witney said coldly. Ever since everything between Val and I happened, Witney has become extremely protective of me. "I'm not his biggest fan right now either Wit, but that's a pretty harsh thing to say, don't you think?" Lindsay questions. "Will you two just stop!?!" I snap as a tear streams down my cheek. "Jen" I hear a familiar voice calling my name, I look in the direction it came from and see Maks coming towards me with Sharna by his side.
MAKS's POV
"Hey" I say as I finally reach Jenna. I had asked Sharna to go with me just in case I needed the help. "The EMTs said that someone could ride along in the ambulance with Val, I think you should go." At first, Jenna just looked up at me with her puffy, red eyes. I could see that she wanted to say yes but I could tell that something was holding her back. "No" she finally says in a small voice, "You should go." "Are you sure?" I question, "I know he'd want you to go." "I'm sure" she says staring back at me, but I could sense her answer was reluctant. "Okay" I say giving in, "but you'll still come to the hospital, right?" "I don't know" she says still looking unsure. "I'll stay here with you" Sharna finally speaks up "You know, in case you change your mind" Sharna says to Jenna. "okay" Jenna responds. "Okay" I say leaving Jenna and Sharna behind and walking to the ambulance that held my brother.
JENNA's POV
After Maks left in the ambulance with Val, Mandy decided to end rehearsal early. When we were dismissed Sharna turns to me and asked if I wanted to ride with her to the hospital but even though I really wanted to go, to be there for him, I just thought it'd look weird, after all, I'm NOT his girlfriend any more, I'm his EX and an Ex-girlfriend would NOT go visit her ex-boyfriend in the hospital....right?
"Are you absolutely sure you don't want to go with me?" Sharna asked one last time. "I'm sure" I respond trying my hardest to sound sure, even though I wasn't. "Okay, well just call me if you change your mind" Sharna said, still not yet fully convinced but letting it go. "I will" I said as she turned and headed for her car. 
"So you really don't want to go see him?" A voice approaches up next to me, leaving me slightly startled. "I can't Brittany, exes don't visit each other in the hospital" "They do if they're still in love with each other" she says looking over at me, knowing the exact thing I was going to say next. "Will you go with me?" "I already have my keys right here" she says walking over to her car and with that we got in and Brittany drove us off to the hospital.
MAKS's POV
"So that's it?" I ask the doctor helplessly, "He's fallen into a coma?" "Yes, I'm afraid so" I feel my fiancè Peta squeeze my hand at the doctor's devastating words. Sharna was sitting on the other side of me squeezing my other hand. I know that I'm extremely fortunate to have such an amazing support system when going through this difficult time, but my whole life, Val has always been my number one support system and all I want right now, in this moment is for him to just be okay.
Suddenly I hear the big hospital doors open and see Jenna walk in followed by Brittany. Jenna must've seen us because her and Brittany headed our way.
"How is he?" Brittany asks. Jenna stays quiet but I could tell she was eager for an update as well. "He needed a few stitches on the side of his head that hit the desk and the shoulder he landed on is pretty badly bruised" I stated. "So can we see him?" Brittany asks. Although Brittany asked the question, I looked into Jenna's hopeful eyes. "There's one more thing" As those words came out of my mouth I saw every ounce of hope in Jenna's big blue eyes disappear. "The doctors said that due to the impact of his head hitting the edge of the desk, then the ballroom floor, Val fell into a coma." It was the word 'coma' that caused Jenna's face to freeze and go completely white.
JENNA's POV
Oh my god, I can't breathe. 'Coma' he's in a coma. I thought to myself. My mind began to race. My chest tightened, I felt as though I could barely breathe. "What are the chances of him coming out of it?" I ask Maks, finally breaking my silence. "The doctors said they aren't completely sure yet" Maks explained. "But they did say that they think that although he may appear unresponsive, certain sounds or voices may be able to bring him out. Peta, Sharna, and I have all gone in and tried talking to him, but nothing happened. Maybe if he heard your voice, you'll get a better response from him." "You want me to go in and talk to him?" I questioned. "Well, we tried calling the other girl first, but she didn't answer" Maks responded sarcastically, earning him a smack on the back of his head from his pregnant fiancé. "Ow, what was that for?" He whined. "That was a stupid answer" Peta replied. "Well, it was a stupid question" Maks said defending himself.
Maks turns to me with a serious face. "Jenna, my brother comes from a long line of idiots" he begins to say "I mean, just ask my Mom and Peta". Peta laughs at her fiancé's words and nods her head. "When we love someone so much, it scares us and we don't know how to deal with it, so, we fuck up, big time and lose the love of our life" I just stand there staring up at Maks, hanging on his every word. "And why don't we fight to win our love back?" He asks. "Because we view ourselves as giant screw-ups, and we don't see ourselves good enough for that girl." He says, answering his own question. "Jenna, my brother never has and never will stop loving you. I don't care if you decided that you never want to see him or speak to him ever again after this, but please, just try, just go in and talk to him, one last time." He says looking down at me with pleading eyes. I take in a deep breath "Okay" I finally say exhaling my breath. Next thing I know, the nurse comes to escort me to Val's room.
The nurse leads me down a long hall when finally we reach room #304, the room of V. Chmerkovskiy. "Thank you" I say, smiling at the nurse, who then nods with a smile and walks away. As I turn to face the entrance of his room, my smile fades and my heart begins to race. 'Okay, this is it Jen. You Have to do this. Just do it.' I finally find myself able to slowly walk into his room. I bring my eyes up to see him, the man I love laying motionless in a hospital bed. He's hooked up to an IV and has a bandage wrapped around his head which I'm assuming to be covering his stitches. His right arm is held up in a sling, not only was his shoulder severely bruised during his fall, but it had dislocated.
I settle myself in a chair directly next to his bed and I take a moment to just look at him, trying to come up with the right words to say. "Hey V" I start by saying "it's me. Honestly, I don't really know why I'm here, so many things are wrong about it, but there's something that just feels right." I say as I reach down and grab his hand. "It's fair to say we've had our fair share of ups and downs, but what couple hasn't? Love makes you do crazy things, and being with you, I finally understand that. Please wake up Val, your brother needs you, your parents need you, your fans need you...." I take a short pause then squeeze his hand as I say "I Need you." Right after I said those words, I could've sworn I felt Val squeeze my hand back but I was probably just imagining it. "I love you Val" I whisper as I lean down and softly kiss his cheek. I stand back up, turn around and start to head for the door when I hear a faint voice that stops me in my tracks "I love you too, JennaBug."
"You're awake!" Exclaims the nurse as she walks into the room. I just stand there, speechless. The nurse says that she wants to check Val out to make sure he's stable and everything. She turns to me and asks if I would mind stepping out of the room but Val quickly interrupts her. "No, wait, can she stay?" "Of course" she says motioning for me to sit in the chair under the window. I not sure how, but I managed to get my feet to move and I somehow made it over to the chair. I could feel Val's eyes on me, but I couldn't bring myself to look at him, not yet atleast.
"Okay! Everything looks good! I'll just leave you two alone now" The nurse smiles leaving the room and shutting the door behind her. "JennaBug?" I hear again. This time I bring myself to look at him. "Come sit next to me? Please?" I get up, still not saying a word and walk over to the side of his bed where the chair was and settle myself in it once again. He reaches his hand out and gently grabs mine, interlocking our fingers with one another. "I'm so sorry Jenna" he says looking into my eyes "it's okay" I say truthfully looking back at him. "No, it's not. I was a huge jerk" he continues on "I'm such an idiot and-" "Val!" I say cutting him off once again, "I said it was okay" I lean forward and softly press my lips against his.
VAL's POV
Feeling Jenna's lips against mine and having her hand back in mine just feels so right. Our lips separate for a minute before we lean back in again. "Wow" I hear an interrupting voice say making Jenna and I jump and immediately pull apart. "He really is awake." The voice speaks again. Jen and I turn to see my brother walking into the room followed by Peta, Sharna, and Brittany. "Her kiss really did wake him up!" Maks continues on in disbelief. "That's some serious 'Sleeping Beauty' type shit right there! How are you feeling, Princess?" He asks, smirking at me. "Somebody better get him out of here fast before I rip this damn IV out of my arm and tackle his ass to the ground." I say, glaring at him. "Take it easy bro, you're no 'Tackle Dave'." My brother snickers. "Babe" Peta says stepping out in front of him with a stern voice. "Go sit on that chair over there in the corner" She says as she points to the direction of the chair. "But, I..." Maks whines. "Now!" She demands. And like a young child, my brother obeys her and stomps off towards the chair. I quietly laugh to myself just watching them. Peta was the perfect girl for my brother. And Jenna, is most definitely the perfect girl for me and there was No Way in Hell that I was Ever going to let her go Ever again.
