Ben's P.O.V:

Looking into the mirror, I stared at my reflection. I was so angry with myself for hurting Jenna. I could only hope that she can forgive me. I'm upset that she doesn't believe me of course, but by the way I was acting when I drank too much I don't blame her for being mad at me right now.

I sighed, walking out of the bathroom and out to our bedroom. I've cleaned the house, unpacked more things, hung up more photos of our bands and ourselves. I had no idea what to make for dinner and we hadn't gotten many groceries yet so I figured I'd just order pizza. It was getting late in the afternoon and I was pretty certain now that I'd be alone tonight.

Feeling bored, I decided to go outside and pick out some flowers to put into Jenna's vase. Well, it was the first vase she made in her Ceramics class back in high school. She gave it to me one time and I had honestly forgotten to use it ever since she left that day...

Hearing a knock on the door, I moved my thoughts away from the memories of when Jen and I were crushing on each other. Damn, she's so adorable and I'm way too undeserving of her.

Opening the front door, I looked down and fiddled through my wallet to find some cash. I hadn't payed attention for the few seconds I was looking down, so when I looked up I dropped my wallet in surprise.

There she was, Jenna, standing in front of me with a goofy grin. She was wearing a pizza hat that the people at local pizza shop had to wear. I was confused at how she'd pulled it off, however she did look cute as heck.

Jenna's smile was so contagious. Just seeing her so happy made me grin and I've never been so damn in love with her until this very moment. I just wanted to scream it out to the world.

"Wait here a second" I smiled, taking the pizza boxes from Jenna's hand. I quickly placed them onto the dining table and then ran back to the front door. Picking Jenna up bridal-style, I grinned as I carried her through to our bedroom. The pizza could wait...

Jenna smiled, lying down on her back on our bed. I looked down at her, still not able to wipe the smile off of my own face.

"I love you so fucking much" Jenna sat up, pulling me down so she could kiss me.

I had no idea what sparked her, or what made her come home and forgive me - whether or not she knows that Jordan was lying or not I have no idea - but I was sure loving how happy she seemed to be. Oh, and the kissing was also great.

"I love you more" I smiled, holding onto Jenna as she played with my hair.

"No, I love you more" Jenna poked her tongue out. "More than you could ever imagine."

"I think I'll have to argue and say that I love you more" I winked, causing her to giggle.

"You know what, Ben?" Jenna began as she traced her fingers over my torso. "Today I realised that I'm going to love you no matter what you do. I know you didn't cheat on me and I know you never will and I was so incredibly stupid for believing the slightest bit of what Jordan said but all of that doesn't even matter right now. I just... I've never felt so much god damn love for someone as much as I have for you. I still remember when we bumped into each other in high school and I'll just confess a little somethin' somethin'..." Jenna trailed off, pausing for a moment as she could see I wanted to talk.

"The first time I laid my eyes on you I couldn't believe how beautiful you were" I smiled, letting her continue.

"And well okay, even though I was dating Br-" Jenna began. although she never finished her sentence. I wonder why she looked worried when she said his name...
