Jensen's POV.
I'm shaking with nerves walking back and forth in front of the door. She'll be coming any second, Cari. Im nervous. I shouldn't be though. Im an actor. It's not like I have to tell her about Arleen? So, why should I be worried? That's right, I shouldn't. I shake it off and Cari steps in.
"You miss me Jen?" she says smiling which breaks my heart.
I give a fax smile. "Of course"
She walks up to me and puts her arms around me as she looks up at me, stands on her tiptoes and kisses me.
Oh god. "Look Cari, I need to talk to you."
All happiness has gone from her face. Worried, she says "What?"
I usher us to the couch and sit. "Our contract, they're not renewing it" I sigh like I'm upset. People say I'm a good actor so I should be able to do this without slippn'.
She shakes her head, almost teary eyed. "No, no"
"I'm sorry, but there's this other girl that they want me to be with now. Another normal. Im sorry. I really am. Im so, so sorry"
"No. No, Dont apologise. Its not your fault." she takes a big breath. "Can we still be friends? Cause I know our situation: I like you, you don't like me."
"Hey, I like you. But I just don't....love you."
She lets out her breath.
"But ya, well still be friends. Ya."
Now she gives me the fax smile and nods.
