Chapter 13 – Gossip

They were sat in Pete's living room, watching a random movie late in the evening, when Jeanette got home. "Hey Jeanette, we thought that maybe Patrick had kidnapped you," Pete called to her, as they heard the door open. "Ha ha," Jeanette said as she entered the living room. She sat down on the opposite couch from Lena and Pete, as they were taking up the whole couch in their embrace. "What are you watching?" Jeanette asked them. "Don't change the subject; did you and Patrick have a good time?" Pete said. "I didn't realize the conversation had a subject…" Jeanette said and grinned. "You're doing it again!" Pete said and smiled. "Sorry, uhm, yeah, we had a good time…" She said and smiled. "Oh, come on… Nothing special happened?" Pete said. "Why are you so curious about it?" she asked. "'Cause I know you like him," Pete grinned. Jeanette sent Lena a glare. "What? He's my boyfriend, we talk about stuff… And Patrick's he's best friend… Besides, I want to know, too," Lena said. "He's dumped Lisa… So I guess we are dating in some kind of way," Jeanette finally said. "That's great!" Lena said and smiled widely. "Did you guys make out?" Pete said. "Oh my God, you're so reminding me of a gay best friend… And that's a private thing, it's not like I ask you, if you and Lena had sex…" Jeanette said. Pete just smirked slightly, "You're right, I'm sorry," he said and turned his attention to the movie again. "I tell you later," Jeanette told Lena in Danish, so Pete wouldn't understand it, when Lena looked at her, waiting. Lena nodded and turned to the movie again with a smile.

When the movie was over, they were all tired and decided to go to sleep, Pete, however, had to take Hemingway for a walk before he could go to bed. That gave Lena and Jeanette the opportunity to talk alone. "So, tell me everything!" Lena said, as Pete had left. They were still sitting in the living room, and Jeanette had moved to Lena's side as Pete had left the couch. Jeanette told Lena everything from how she'd thought that Patrick had chosen Lisa, to all the things they'd been doing all day, which was things as walking around outside, talking, and stuff.
"I can't believe you're with Patrick now!" Lena exclaimed when Jeanette was done talking. "This is so great," she said. "Yeah, I know, I can't believe it either," Jeanette smiled. "I knew you two had something going on," Lena said and grinned. "Yeah, everyone else but us seemed to know," Jeanette said and grinned, too. "So, what about you? Did you do anything special today?" Jeanette asked kinda randomly, not expecting anything. "Well, I don't know… I've been outside, been sunbathing, had sex with Pete, watched TV –" "Wait, wait, what?" Jeanette said and grinned. "I watched TV?" Lena said and grinned. "You know what I'm talking about!" Jeanette said and smiled. "Well…" Lena said. "Okay, at first, is there anything I don't want to touch anymore?" Jeanette said. "No, it was in Pete's bed," Lena just grinned. "Oh, okay…" Jeanette said and laughed a bit. "So… How was it?" Jeanette said, curiously. "Quite good… Actually… Pretty amazing," Lena said and grinned. "And you know what he also said to me today?" Lena said. "No, what? That he wanted to marry you and build you a great big castle?" Jeanette said. Lena laughed, "No, not exactly… He told me he loved me," she said and smiled widely. "Aww, that's so sweet! What did you say?" Jeanette said. "I said it back. I really do love him, he's so great," Lena said. "You guys are so cute," Jeanette smiled. "You and Patrick are, too," Lena smiled.

Soon Pete got back from his walk and they all went to bed…

A week later they hadn't been doing that much really, just random stuff. The four of them had spent some more time together, now that Patrick and Jeanette were dating, and Lena was really glad that Jeanette didn't have to feel like a third wheel anymore.
Cobra Starship had a new video out, and therefore they'd borrowed one of their friends' houses and invited some of their friends – including Fall Out Boy and girlfriends – over to celebrate. As Lena stepped into the hairdresser she thought about the party the next day and about how she hated going to the hairdresser. Unfortunately she really needed a haircut, so she'd decided to go do it today, as Pete had to do some interviews anyway. The hairdresser was quite busy, so she was told to go sit down, until someone was ready for her. She didn't mind as she didn't really have anything to do other than be there. She glanced at the rack of magazines next to her and grabbed a random one. She leafed randomly through it 'till something caught her attention…

Bassist of Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz (28) brought his new found Danish love Lena Johansen (23) to see his friends Cobra Starship - who are also signed by his record company Decay Dance - at Friday. Wentz has been seen several times with his girlfriend, but hasn't made an official statement about their relationship yet, though sources close to Pete claim that they're very much in love and definitely a couple. The couple seemed to enjoy the concert, and Lena seemed to hit it off well with the rest of Pete's circle of acquaintances.

Next to the text were a picture of her and Pete at the concert and some pictures of her, talking to Gabe and Brendon at the after party. She found it very weird to see something about her in a magazine, but thought to herself that she'd just have to get used to it. She put the magazine down and grabbed another one. She checked the date but it was just as old as the other one. This time she didn't have to turn that many pages 'till she found something, which caught her attention…

It seems that both "Fall Out Boys" Pete Wentz (28) and Patrick Stump (24) have a thing for Danish girls. Stump has been dating Lisa (efternavn) (alder) for a couple of months now, but it seems that he has moved on. Saturday he spend the whole day with the Danish girl Jeanette Madsen (23) – after attending a Cobra Starship concert and after-party the day before with (Lisas efternavn), at which Jeanette, who is a friend of Wentz' girlfriend Lena, also attended. Patrick has been seen a couple of times with Jeanette, and hasn't been seen with Lisa afterwards. Seems like Patrick's got a thing for the ladies…

Here were, too, a picture of Patrick and Jeanette taking a walk in a park, as well as a picture of Patrick and Lisa together at a movie premiere. She couldn't help smiling when she thought about the fact that Jeanette and Patrick had gotten together… "Lena Johansen?" a girl at Lena's age said and looked at her. "Yep," Lena said and put the magazine down and got up as the girl showed her to a chair…

Later that night Pete and Lena were taking Hemingway for a walk. He was quite eager and pulled the leash. "I can't believe how much I miss you, when you're not there," Pete said as they made a turn down a small path into a park. "Me neither," Lena said and smiled. "I mean, I stopped myself from calling you a hundred times, I think," Pete said. "That's sweet," she said and squeezed his hand a bit. They approached a bench and Pete unleashed Hemingway, who was soon out of sight. He grinned and shook his head at him and sat down on the bench. Lena sat down next to him. "Is it weird for you that your friends and family would know that you're dating me before you've introduced me to them?" Lena asked. "What do you mean?" Pete said. "I mean, like, I saw a picture of us at the Cobra Starship concert in a magazine today, so obviously your family and stuff would maybe get to see me and know that you're with me, before you would get the chance to tell them," she said. "Oh… Well, it's kind of annoying, it's like, when you get a new girlfriend – or boyfriend in your case - you'd like to wait a bit before you tell everyone, so you can have the person a little to yourself a first, you know?" he said. "Yeah, I know what you mean," she said and smiled as he held her hand in between his own. "Speaking of… I was wondering… Would you like to meet my family sometimes before you go back to Denmark?" he said and sounded a bit nervous. "Meet your family?" she repeated and hesitated. She was actually dying to meet them, but at the same time terrified that she was going to mess everything up. He looked more nervous now as she didn't say anything. "I'd love to, I'm just afraid that I'll mess it up," she confessed. "Oh, don't be… They're used to be around me, you couldn't mess it anymore up than me," he said and grinned. "Oh yeah, I haven't thought of it that way," she grinned.
He grinned, too, and leaned in to kiss her, "I love you," he said and pressed his lips to hers. She'd never grow tired of the feeling he'd bring up in her every time he did something like that. She was about to tell him, that she loved him, too, but was interrupted by someone saying, "Excuse me?"
They both turned their gazes to the girl, who'd said something. "Pete?" she said. "Uhm, yeah?" Pete said and let go of Lena's hand. "Oh! I'm a big fan of yours, can I get your autograph?" the girl said. "Sure," Pete said and got up, "Do you have something to write with?" he asked. Lena found it weird that they would meet fans now, seeing that it was in the middle of the evening. Pete wrote an autograph for the girl, and Lena watched. As the girl got her autograph she turned her gaze towards Lena and said, "Are you Lena?" She could not get used to people knowing her name! "Uhm, yeah…" Lena said and felt herself blushing a bit. "Can I get a picture of you?" the girl said. "Uh, what about I take a picture of you and Pete?" Lena suggested instead and smiled, after all; she wasn't the one who was famous. "Okay," the girl said and smiled. Lena took a picture of the girl and Pete with the girl's cell and handed it back to her. "Thank you!" the girl smiled at her. "You're welcome," she said. "You know, don't think about all the people who talks shit about you, you're a nice girl," the girl said. "What?" Lena said, confused. "You know… The people who say you're only dating Pete for the money and fame and stuff…" the girl said. "Oh, uhm…" Lena said and didn't know what to say. She didn't know about that. Did people really say that about her? Why would anyone say something like that? They didn't know her at all! "Well, those people are all jerks, who don't know anything, so we don't care about them," Pete said and smiled. "Me neither, you guys are really nice," the girl said. "Same to you, it was nice meeting you," Pete said and smiled at her. "You, too," the girl said and waved at them, as she moved on.
"Did you know that people were saying those things?" Lena said as they both sat down on the bench again. "People are always saying all kinds of shit… I know you're not like that, so why would I be bothered?" Pete said. "I don't like that people think that about me," Lena mumbled. "I know… But there are lots of people who hate me, too, and I don't care… The important thing is that your friends and family likes you," Pete said and kissed her cheek. "I guess you're right," she said and sighed.
