The ironic thing is... I couldn't come up with a name for this one...
Enjoy (:
Chapter 11 – Home
Lena woke up to the sound of mumbling. She opened her eyes and noticed Jeanette laying beside her and mumbling. She smiled and closed her eyes again. "No!" Jeanette suddenly yelled. Lena opened her eyes again and said, "What's wrong?" Jeanette opened her eyes and said, "Patrick?" Lena grinned a bit, "Uh, no?" "Oh…" Jeanette said and looked around, "I forgot where I was," she smiled. "I can tell," Lena smiled. "So, what did you guys do last night?" Lena asked her. "We just talked. God, stop accusing me for having feelings for him!" Jeanette said and smiled. "I'm sorry… I just know what I see," Lena grinned. "And what is that exactly?" Jeanette asked. "Well, you two spending a lot of time together," Lena just said. "Well, you and I do, too," Jeanette just said. Lena just rolled her eyes, "whatever you say, I'll still suspect you," she just said. "Well, anyway… What did you do last night?" Jeanette turned the attention away from herself. "I didn't do anything," Lena said and grinned. "Why don't I believe that?" Jeanette said and smiled, "Well, what did Pete do then?" "He fell asleep," Lena chuckled. "Just like that?" Jeanette pressed. "Why do you expect me to tell you anything if you won't tell me?" Lena said and smirked, knowing that Jeanette was too curious to let it go. "Okay, I do find Patrick quite charming then, but we didn't do anything last night, okay?" Jeanette finally said. "Okay," Lena said and believed her. "So, your turn…" Jeanette smirked. "Well, we just… Made out a bit," Lena said and blushed again. Damn blushing! "It's so weird that you have a thing with Pete Wentz!" Jeanette said and grinned. "I know," Lena said and felt sad that it would only be "a thing" a nothing more.
"Oh yeah, you said that you would tell me about something later… You seemed upset about something yesterday, remember?" Jeanette said as if she had read Lena's mind. "Oh, yeah…" Lena said and sighed. "What's wrong?" Jeanette asked. "Well, just the fact that Pete and the rest of the guys leave tonight," Lena said and could fell the tears in the corner of her eyes. She pressed them back. "Oh, that…" Jeanette said and sat up as Lena did, too. "I just can't believe that I've just met this wonderful guy and then he leaves tonight, especially when he kind of likes me, too," Lena said and bit her lip. "I know, it sucks," Jeanette said, "but hey? 'Kind of likes you'? Are you kidding me?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, look at the guy! He can't take his freaking eyes off of you! He stared at you through the whole dinner yesterday!" Jeanette said and grinned as Lena blushed again. They got interrupted as someone knocked on the door.
"Come in?" Lena said. Lena's dad opened the door and entered the room as Lena's puppy, Petey, ran passed him and jumped onto Lena's bed. "Aww, hey Petey," Lena said and smiled as she pulled the happy dog closer to her. "Good morning, girls," Lena's dad said. "Good morning…" "So did you have a fun day yesterday?" Lena's dad asked. "Uh, yeah, why?" Lena said, confused that he seemed to know about it. "Would you care to tell me why Mikkel suddenly yells from the living room that you're on MTV in an interview with Fall Out Boy?" he said and smiled a bit. "Uh, yeah… But it's a really long story…" Lena began, "I have the time…" her dad said and sat down on a chair. Soon both her mom and her brother were in the room, wanting to hear the story.
She told them everything – well, except the juicy details about her and Pete, though she did mention that they did care for each other – and when she had finished the story, she almost didn't believe it herself. "Way to go, Lena!" Mikkel said, "My sis' is a star-fucker." He grinned. "Shut up," she said and stuck her tongue out at him. Suddenly her phone vibrated and her heart skipped a beat. It was from a number she didn't know but she wasn't late to figure out, who's number it was. She opened the message:
"Hey Pretty, hope u got home safe. I miss u already though I just woke up. Guess u aren't the only one who's obsessive, huh? Found out what's up with J and P? XO Pete"
She felt warmth spread in her stomach as she read the message and smiled widely when she had finished reading the message. "Is it Pete? Can I see?" Mikkel said and stole the cell out of her hand. He started reading it out loud. "Mikkel! Give me that!" she said and stole the phone back, but by that time he was finished reading it out loud. Jeanette shot Lena a glare as it occurred to her that Lena had been discussing her and Patrick's relationship with Pete. "Well, he sounds nice…" Lena's mom said and smiled at her. "You are really seriously dating Pete Wentz…" Mikkel said as if it had just occurred to him. "No, I'm not… Shall we get some breakfast?" she just said and got up. "If you aren't dating him, why does he write that he's obsessed with you?" Mikkel pressed. She just really wished that he would shut up, because she didn't want to explain to him that Pete was leaving for Germany tonight.
They got some breakfast and showered and got dressed. Suddenly she remembered Pete's message and quickly replied:
"Hey Pete, I'm sorry, my family distracted me so I forgot to answer you. I really miss you, too! I'm looking so much forward to see you again. I still really dunno what's up with J and P, though J told me she liked P – I knew it! Haha. XO Lena"
Pete wasn't late to reply:
"Oh, that's sweet. Seems like P feels the same way, but who am I to know that? Anyway, I got u both backstage passes so you can come with us today, but we'll be really busy with interviews and sound checks and stuff… But I'm hoping we can catch each other before the concert anyway?"
She smiled at the message. He really seemed like he wanted to spend time with her. They messaged a bit back and forth and agreed to meet outside the hotel so they could ride with them to the place where they were supposed to play, which was called "Vega".
Well... You know what I'll say...
