This is my first Lenny, I think their story needs to come to a close one way or another. Takes places just after 6.03.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.

"Sorry did I just hear you correctly? You're breaking up with me?"

"Yep." Leonard looked at the beautiful blonde woman sitting opposite him thinking AM I INSANE. "Penny the other night when Raj almost forced you to say I love you and you wouldn't, well I made a decision. I love you, but I want you to love me too, but if you can't perhaps we are better off without each other, meet other people, perhaps you might even fall in love."

Penny felt a tear run down the side of face; she never thought in a million years that Leonard would do this. "Is this anything to do with Alex?"

"Sheldon's grad student? No, this is nothing to do with anyone else; this is just to do with you and me."

Penny grabbed a tissue from the box that sat next to Sheldon's spot, and wiped her eyes.

"I really don't know why you are so upset Penny, I believe I may have actually done you a favour. Now if you will excuse me, I have to do some work." Leonard didn't really mean to sound so harsh but this was hurting him too.

"Leonard, I don't know what to say?"

"Penny I think this is best for us both."

"I never meant to hurt you."

"I know, perhaps it just wasn't meant to be, between us" Leonard was just holding it together himself.

"Can we still be friends?"

Leonard smiled at her. "Of course we can."

Penny could feel her heart pounding, she had never thought that Leonard would ever do this, she walked over to the door and opened it, and she turned around and saw him sitting at his computer working away. "Goodbye Leonard." She closed the door behind her and just made it into 4B before the torrent of tears that she knew would come overwhelmed her.

It was Amy that came to consul help, rubbing her back and saying. "There, there. Plenty more fish in the sea, and when your bait is a beautiful as yours is Penny, well you could catch anything you want."

Penny, who was lying face down on her bed knew that Amy was trying to be supportive, but she really did not know what was appropriate to say at times. Penny looked at her strange friend, her bestie, and it was true, she was the one that Penny phoned, not Bernadette, but Amy.

"Penny I want Leonard, why can't I catch him."

"You did, but you resisted too much, so you lost him." Amy could be so brutal at times, but never meaningfully and Penny knew that, she also knew that Amy was right. Why did she only want Leonard when she couldn't have him?

A week passed and Penny had decided that it would be best to keep a low profile, Another thing that Penny had decided was that she actually did love Leonard, and that she was going to get him back. But she needed to firstly work out who she is and what she really wants in life, can't just sit around and wait for things to happen to her, she had to make something happen and soon.
