Chapter 37: Unfortunate event

(A/N: There are many changes between POVs, but I couldn't avoid it. I hope it doesn't get confusing)

*15 minutes earlier*

Lana's POV

"Hello evil regals! I'm here, at Once upon a time's Season 6 wrap party. How are you all doing? We are having fun and the food is amazing." I said as soon as I initiated the live video on Instagram.

"Look, it's Bex! Hey Bex, come say hi!" I continued, turning my phone to her direction.

We were then fooling around, until Colin's voice was heard from upstage.

"Attention everyone. I would like to make an announcement."

"Oh, look guys! It's Colin! Let's see what he has to say!" I squealed and turned the camera to the stage.

"I would like to share the news with you first."

"Oh, what's the news, Mr. O'Donoghue?" I joked lowly when he paused.

Thankfully, we were standing in a corner, so he couldn't hear me.

"Me and Jennifer are dati..."

When I realized what he was about to confess, I abruptly ended the video, but it was already too late.

*current time*

Jen's POV

I exited the building, the cold air of Vancouver instantly hitting my face. I, almost instinctively, walked to the nearest wall to support myself, otherwise my trembling legs would have given up on me and I would have collapsed on the cold hard ground. My head was spinning to the point where I felt I was going to faint. But I didn't.

That was it.

The whole world knew.

I couldn't bother check any social media at my current state, but I was sure by now everyone knew and hated on me. I could already see all the "you are a home wrecker" comments with my name tagged on them. I wanted to scream but I didn't have the strength to.

This was a disaster.

I had my eyes closed and my forehead leaned against the wall when a hand touched my shoulder.

"Jen." her low feminine voice was barely audible.

I turned around and looked at her face full of regret.

I wanted to scream. To let it all out, but I was still too weak for any of that. At this point I couldn't even get a word to leave my mouth.

"Jen, I'm terribly sorry. If I knew...Jen, I would never have done that. It's all my fault." she stammered an apology and lowered her head.

It was NOT her fault. She didn't know. It was just an unfortunate event.

Still unable to speak a word, I hugged her tight, silently letting her know it was ok. Of course, it was far from ok but I couldn't blame it on her.
