Undeniable Love

Grief

(This chapter is gonna be about how
Stef & Lena grieve the separation. Enjoy the second to last chapter of Undeniable Love)

- The Same Night Stef Left-

Lena:

I'm sitting on Stef's bed crying.

Not really knowing what else to do.

I hear Jenna come inside.

"Lena honey."

I sniffle.

"In here."

She comes to the door with ice cream and a spoon.

She sees me.

"Oh Lena."

She sits down beside me and hugs me while I cry.

Jenna:

I hug Lena.

She is a mess.

"What happened? I thought you were gonna confess tonight?"

She sniffles.

"I was it's just. I chickened out okay. I was sad and it just kind of blew over my head."

She looks at her ice cream.

"I got you mocha flavored. That's your favorite."

She smiles.

"Yeah it is."

"There is that smile."

She sits there eating her ice cream for a bit.

I finally speak up.

"So I mean what happened?"

"Well, I was gonna tell her but you know- I didn't."

I nod my head.

"Yeah. What were you gonna say?"

"I was gonna tell her how safe I feel when she is with me. And how she is the only person who has made me genuinely smile in a while. How she is so gorgeous & all I want to do is stare into her deep hazel eyes. I just want to love her. For her too love me."

I smile.

She is in love because this is how I feel about Chloie.

"I just want her to hold me when I am sad and be there for me when I can't express emotions. She is the only person in the world who gets me. She is the only person who know every single thing about me. She is the only person that knows what I am feeling before I know it. She's my other half. Without her I feel lost. Incomplete. Like a piece of me is missing."

She sits up.

"Omg Jenna. What did I just do?"

She lays on my shoulder and begins to cry again.

"I finally realize that Stef is my one true love."

She sits up tears streaming down her face.

"And I just-just- let her slip right through my fingers."

She gets up and starts pacing.

"I could have avoided this mess if I just told her."

She calms down and sits next to me.

She leans back still crying.

"And now I will never know if she feels the same way."

I instantly remember the video me and Rachel saw that night in the restaurant.
