• Laken Noelle •
I'm on the way to the set and I honestly have barely slept since Friday night. Is everything ruined between me and Jay? I don't know. Will he even want to talk to me? Will he ask for me to be killed off the show? A million thoughts run wild in my mind as I drive to set.
I pull up to the gate. "Good morning, Jeff." I smile at the security guard. "Mornin', Ms. Noelle." He says while pushing the button to open the gates. "Jeff, call me Laken." He smiles and nods. "I'll remember, next time." And I wave as I drive to my parking spot.
I see Jensen is getting out of his car and I run up to him and scare him. "Holy shi- LAKEN YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT ME!" and I'm in the concrete laughing. "It's not funny." He says quite seriously. "But it is." I'm still dying on the ground and he smiles. He offers me his hand and says, "Get up, you goof." I take his hand and he pulls me up.
I think me and him are good. We're laughing and - AND WERE HOLDING HANDS! Oh my Chuck. I think he saw that I am panicking and let go of my hand. "Thanks." I mutter and he laughs a little. "Always." And we walk to our trailers together.
Its not a awkward type situation. We're comfortably quiet and it's nice. Just being in his presence makes my whole day better. I'm honestly not sure why. I've just never had this feeling with anyone. I just feel safe.
"So what's your schedule today?" He turns towards me. "Um. I have 2 scenes this morning and then I have a break for about three hours then like 4 more later." I say. Why would he want to know what I'm doing? "Well during your break do you want to grab lunch? Together?" He had a look on his face. Is it hope? No.
"I'd love too.

"Yeah and then he brought the money but in pennies. He dumped them in his trailer." I laugh as Jensen tells me a story about Misha and Jared. "Remind me to never bet money with Misha." And we both laugh as we wait for our food.
We're at this cute little diner near the set and it's like empty. And the people who are here don't seem to recognize us. "So. What about you?" He asks and I raise my eyebrow because I don't understand the question. "Like your family." He clarifies. "Oh um. Well, I don't talk to my parents anymore. Not since I left to start, The Vampire Diaries. And I haven't seen or heard from my brother in years." He looks genuinely interested.
Adam has never heard the full story he just really never cared enough to ask. Why would Jensen care? "When I told them I wanted to be an actor instead of a doctor, they pretty much gave up hope for me." He gives me a sincere smile. "Well, hopefully they can see you now and what all you accomplished. They probably regretting there decision right now."
I smile at him. "Thanks, Jay. That really means a lot-" I'm cut off by a young woman, "Excuse me. Are you Jensen Ackles and Laken Noelle?" We both smile and we both answer yes and she freaking loses her shit. "Oh oh my chuck oh my oh my keep it together Harper geez ahh they're real holy moly." I laugh at her reaction. "Do you want a picture?" I ask her and she nods quickly.

There was no parking near the diner so we had to walk a block away. Lunch went great and we talked a lot and we know so much about each other now. I'm just surprised that Harper was the only fan we ran into today-, "Jensen. Laken. Are you two dating?" "How has the change from TVD to SPN?" "Are you a item?" Question after question. The paparazzi found us.
Cameras are flashing and Jensen takes ahold of my hand. He leads me to the car and I hurriedly hop in. And we drive off. "Geez. We barely got out alive." I joke and he laughs.

After all the filming and paparazzi encounter, I'm exhausted. "Earlier today, Supernatural star, Jensen Ackles was spotting grabbing lunch with ex-TVD star and new co-star, Laken Noelle. They seemed quite cozy and were holding hands. Are they dating or just really close friends?" I hear the tv say as I walk through the door. I look at the tv and see me and Jensen holding hands running to the car.
Great. They think we're dating. Adam is sitting on the couch and grabs the remote and turns off the tv. "What the fuck is this?" He says calmly and that's scarier than him yelling. "I had lunch with Jensen. And the paparazzi found us." I say while rolling my eyes.
Does he really think I'd cheat on him? Would I cheat on him? No! I couldn't. Could I? "Well it doesn't look like 'just grabbing lunch' you're fucking holding hands, L!" His voice gets louder. I sit on the couch next to him. "He grabbed my hand when we were running to the car! Do you really think I would cheat on you?"
"I don't know what to think anymore." He whispers and I'm pissed. Who does he think he is?
I storm out of the apartment and call Gen. I just need girl time right now. Men are just stressful!
"Hey Gen!" "Hey L!" "Sorry if I called you at a bad time..." "Oh no you didn't. I'm not doing anything right now." "Oh then can I come over. I just need to get away from I don't know everything." I laugh. "Yeah! That's fine. I'll text you the address." "Okay see you there." "See you."
•••
"Ugh. I'm just so tired of men! They're annoying!" I complain to Gen. "Are you sure that it's all men or just one man?" She says and I honestly don't know. "I don't know. I just can't seem to stand being in the same room as Adam anymore. It's like we're just roommates who hate each other." Gen nods and walks over and sits beside me.
"Maybe you should break up with him. You don't sound like your happy with him." Am I not happy? With Adam? "Let me give you my honest opinion, you've seemed more happier with Jensen in a moment and that happiness doesn't compare to the non existent happiness with Adam for a whole year."
Wait why is she talking about Jensen? "What do you mean Jensen?" She raises her eyebrow and gives me a 'are you stupid look'. "You don't see it. Do you?" Now I'm more confused. "See what, Gen?" She laughs. "Laken, you and Jensen like each other and would be perfect together." I laugh because she's joking. Right? She joking? "I'm not joking." She states and I stop my laughing.
No. He could never like me in a more than friend way. Never. I'm me and he's Jensen Ackles. It would never work. Never. Right?
