update 26.5.2022 - I've gone through and edited all the chapters, fixing mistakes, changing a few small details, just trying to make it a bit more accurate to where things are right now, as I first wrote this over a year ago. same story, just a little different. hope you enjoy! this is purely a love story. this is not so subtly about someone, if you know who she is, enjoy, if not, it's still just a love story, so also enjoy :) DISCLAIMER: While this is supposed to portray "Lena," this is still just a fictional story, with a fictional version of Lena. I intentionally do not use her POV because that's not a liberty I (personally) feel I can take. We do not know her in real life and how she would act in these situations, this is simply how I decided to write her. Please don't take the version of her I create or you have in your head and apply it to who she is in real life, as I am not trying to place her on a pedestal, create unrealistic expectations, or sexualize her in any way.
