I awoke when Jenna awoke, but it was different this time, her breathing was ragged, and she seemed to have jerked awake
I listened for something
I heard her soft crying
I got up from the bed and walked over to the door, knocking lightly “Jenna, are you alright?” I asked softly, worried about her
“No” she replied, still crying
I opened the door and walked in, my eyes landed on her, sitting on the floor, with her head in her hands
“Jenna, what’s wrong?” I asked her, sitting next to her and pulling her into a hug
She hugged me tightly back and sobbed quietly into my chest
“I don’t want to talk about it” she managed to choke out
I tightened my grip on her and kissed her hair “you don’t have to, it’s alright Love” the last word slipped out without my permission
“L-Love?” she asked wetly, looking up to meet my eyes
My cheeks went hot and I laughed nervously “umm, I mean- well, I mean-“ I was cut off by her lips on mine
I reacted by slipping my hand in her hair and deepening the kiss, her hand caressed my cheek, while her arm went around my neck, I pulled her into my lap without breaking the kiss, I moaned into her mouth, and she slipped her tongue in, our tongues danced together in a fiery passionate dance
We kissed like this for a while before we pulled apart to breathe, not that we wanted to pull apart, but we had to
“I love you” she whispered, her voice seemed wary.
“I love you too” I whispered
She looked up and smiled a bright smile, a complete turnaround from just a few minutes ago
She kissed me softly, her hands on the back of my neck
She pulled away and laid her forehead on my chest “this wasn’t a dream” she whispered to herself, as if amazed
“What?” I asked her softly
She shook her head “it’s not important” she said softly
She seemed to be deep in thought, her face suddenly changed, fear overtaking it
“but if this wasn’t a dream, then-“ she was cut off by a scream, I knew that scream
Jenna and I were out the door before either one of us knew what was happening
We ran down the hall and to Lamina’s room, I slammed open the door, but she wasn’t here, Jenna was already running down the hall, she knew what was happening
I followed Jenna, she came to a dead stop in front of the lunch deck
I ran up to her and followed her gaze through the glass doors
Jenna looked at me, suddenly; she pushed me back against the wall, keeping me there with the force of her lion strength
“Stay here” she ordered
Her voice was a mix of worry, and authority, I was forced to nod
I watched as she walked slowly towards the glass doors and put her hand on the handle
She turned the handle and swung the door open
My last thought before I blacked out was ‘what is going on?’
