Resolution
“Because I’m in love with you.”
Silence.
Dead silence.
Ben refused to make eye contact with Jenna. He was sure he had ruined their friendship for good now. “Are you going to say anything?” He whispered to her, almost fearful.
She merely stared at the floor, at a loss for words. “I… I’m sorry. I should go.” She decided, standing up suddenly. Honestly, the fact that he was hurt barely registered in her mind anymore. She just needed to get the hell out of there.
Now.
“What? No! No, look I’m sorry I said anything- just… don’t… don’t leave.” He begged her helplessly, making a grab for her hand.
For once, she pulled away. She ran away.
She was so caught up in her own thoughts that as she was making her escape, she ran right into Anita. Jenna had a bad habit of that- running into things.
“There you are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! Kelsey and Brenna are off somewhere wreaking havoc, Corby is talking about how he beat the crap out of some kid, and you’ll never guess what I saw Kaitlyn and Alexxx doing down the hall.”Anita rambled with an uncharacteristically large amount of words for the usually fairly introverted girl.
“Ben said he loved me!” Jenna blurted, pulling Anita into a secluded corner so she could speak to her without having to continuously look over her shoulder, paranoid.
“Yeah, so?” Anita questioned rather unenthusiastically.
Jenna gaped at her disinterest. “What do you mean s-? Did you hear me? He said he loved me.”
Anita huffed. “Well we already knew that.” She stated impatiently.
Jenna gave a frustrated laugh, generally uncomfortable with the whole situation. “I would think that just the mere fact that the opinion was voiced is cause enough for distress. Not to mention he has a girlfriend.”
Anita smirked evilly. “Not anymore he doesn’t.” She stated, bringing out her phone. She presses a button or two and tilted the screen so that Jenna could see it.
“Oh, wow.” Before her was a rather compromising photo of Kaitlyn and Alexxx, devouring each others faces.
“Now will you please go reciprocate his feelings so we can move onto a new topic of discussion already?” She said.
“Um.” Jenna stated awkwardly.
“It’s that way.” Anita reminded her, giving her a polite shove in the right direction.
“Okay.” Jenna said, rather dazed as she walked back the way she came.
She found Ben sitting slumped against the wall, his shirt and suit rumpled but the blood now completely washed off his face. His cummerbund lay broken at his side.
“Hey.” She said quietly, feeling nervous again.
His head snapped up from his hands and he stared at her, gaping. “You came back.” He stated, quickly getting to his feet.
She nodded. “Me too.” She whispered fearfully.
“What?” He asked, confused and not sure what she was talking about.
“Uh,” She cleared her throat and tried to force herself to just say it. “Me- me too. You know, with the… the love… and stuff.”
He blinked at her, a slow grin spreading on his face as he realized what she was talking about. “Yeah?” He asked her.
She nodded slowly.
“Can you say it? In like, a sentence?” He teased, watching as she looked away.
“Why?” She asked, annoyed.
“Because I wanna hear it.”
She rolled her eyes at his answer. “Fine. I love you.”
His responding grin was blinding. “Me too.”
Then he kissed her.
