So I am back! Finally dragging myself out of writing other fics to tend to this one. I HAVE got my laptop back so it's all good. It took a while but I'm back.
I'm actually writing another Charmed fic, the sypnosis is at the bottom, tell me what you think about it.
To all my reviewers, thank you so much! You guys keep me going.
First Month:
"What happened?" Jenna groaned as she slowly sat up, rubbing her head.
"Chris was here." Mel shrugged.
"What?" She looked straight at her friend who was biting her lip. "What did you do?"
"Nothing." She said quickly.
"Mel."
"Jen."
"Fine, I'll deal. But I can't believe you let Chris be in here with me."
"I didn't 'let' him do anything. You called him." Mel told her.
"I didn't call him. I was fighting a demon, and winning, then some dumbass whitelighter orbs in, in front of an energy ball so I had to take a hit for him."
"What were you doing fighting a demon anyway?"
"Practising." Jenna smiled sheepishly.
"And you couldn't practise here?" Mel said, one hand on hip the other holding coffee.
"Nope." Jenna got up and took the coffee from her hand then walked away muttering. "Chris needs to work on his healing."
"God, how Romeo and Juliet can this get?" Mel asked before looking at the time and pulling on her jacket and darting out of the room to try and actually make it to her job on time.
Second Month:
Jenna closed her eyes, placing her hands on her knees and took a deep breathe and smiled as she felt the tingling in her stomach.
"Oh my God! Jenna!" She opened her eyes to see Phoebe and a split cup of coffee.
"You like dropping stuff when I turn up, I've noticed." She raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing here?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, I've been practising my powers recently as I was bored and I tried long distance and here I am." She waved her hands by her face.
"Your powers are advancing pretty fast." Phoebe noted.
"Nah, not really I've just got a job so I've been practising for the last month so I thought I should visit." Jenna shrugged.
"And you couldn't call?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow.
Jenna grinned innocently. "This is more fun."
The two friends started talking until Jenna's powers pulled her back to New York and they continued their talk until the early hours of the morning via the phone.
Third Month:
Jenna roughly tugged at the shirt which was stuck in the zip of her duffel bag. It ripped out sending her falling back. She rolled her eyes and put a hand down to stand up when her hand touched a cold surface. She looked under her hand. She gulped at the sight. She picked up the cool silver necklace and let out a small smile at the ring hanging from it. Colours darted around the walls as the diamond hit the light.
She threaded the necklace in her hand as she remembered how she got it.
Jenna adjusted the bangles on her left wrist as she looked in the mirror. She wore a cream dress that reached a few inches above her knees with brown straps just below the bust, letting the bottom of the dress flowing. Her wedges have black straps and helped her grow a few inches. Her hair was loose but her fringe was pulled back with a hair clip, her hair in delicate curls. She took the mascara from the side and added a bit to her eyes again before taking her lip gloss and running it across her lips. She turned to the sisters who eyed her.
"You look great Jen," Phoebe started. "Piper is sorry she can't be here but she's so tired recently with Chris and everything."
"It's fine. So do I really look good?"
"Jenna Nicols you are gonna blow Chris' socks off." Paige exclaimed.
Jenna smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, across from the sisters. "I guess it's just weird you know, this is our first real date."
"Hun, it doesn't matter, you love him, he loves you, everything will fall into place." Phoebe patted her hand.
"Yeah and if it doesn't, we'll kick his ass." Paige told her sending them laughing.
"I think I'll just tell you that to see what you will do!" Jenna chuckled.
Jenna heard orbs and looked to her doorway to see blue lights streaming through.
"I guess that's out cue." Paige said and jumped off the bed, followed by Phoebe. They opened the door and smiled at Chris who was in plain black trousers, an un-tucked white dress shirt, and a navy jacket.
"Go and get her." Paige patted his chest as she walked past.
"Hey." Chris said.
"Hey." Jenna stood up.
Chris cast a glance up her body. "Jenna, you look… amazing."
"Thanks." Jenna blushed.
"Ready to go?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, I tried squeezing info out of Paige and Phoebe but they just weren't budging!" Jenna joked.
"Good. Maybe they can try and keep secrets in the future." Chris smiled.
"Hey you didn't keep yours." Jenna pointed out.
"I'm not going to reply to that." He said pointing at her jokingly. He reached into his pocket and removed a satin navy box. "I've got something for you. You know, to commemorate our first date. Or rather that we managed to have one."
Jenna cocked her head and took the box. She opened it and gasped at the silvery thread of a necklace. At the centre of the immaculate piece was a pentagram. She looked up and smiled at him. She walked forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned on her toes to give her the height to kiss him. She pulled back, her teeth dragging his lip with them, emitting a groan from Chris.
"I guess you liked it." Chris whispered.
Jenna nodded, a pink blush covering her bare shoulders. "Put it on for me." She turned pulling up her loose curls. His hands skirted around her neck gently. As he put on the clasp she whispered, "I love you."
He turned her and took her into his arms breathing a whisper into her ear. "I love you too, Jenna."
Sixth Month:
Melinda smiled at her friend and enveloped her in a hug. "Just remember to tell my Mom that I'll be home in two weeks. I don't know why you wanted to leave earlier but oh well."
"If that's your way of saying I'll miss you and I love you, back at ya."
Mel raised an eyebrow. "You spent way too much time around my Mom and aunts." Jenna stuck her tongue out at her.
"I'll miss you though. It'll be weird without you." Mel shrugged.
"You'll see me soon and I'll call you back in San Fran to tell you the plane didn't crash and I'm still alive."
"Thank God, my heart can be forever rested!" She hit my arm playfully. "Now go. Your plane leaves. Oh and Ryan said he was sorry he couldn't say goodbye but he had to finish off his paperwork to be transferred to San Fran."
"Tell him I'll see him soon."
"All passengers to San Francisco on the 14:05, plane please board now," the annoncer blared across the airport.
"Go." Mel said.
"See ya soon, Mel."
"Back at ya." She winked as Jenna walked towards the terminal.
Jenna pulled the duffel bag further up her shoulder and continued walking absently as she searched for her mobile. She suddenly knocked into a body and fell straight to the floor from impact.
"Oh sorry." The voice said. Jenna froze getting up as she heard that. She slowly recovered and stood.
"No it's fine. I've got to go though." She tried to hurry away but a hand grabbed her arm.
"Jen, I know. I remember."
Her gaze shot up to his.
"Don't do that," she whispered. "Please don't do it."
She stared into his startling emerald eyes and all her hard work to forget her feelings unravelled swiftly to wrap tightly around her heart and strangled it.
"Jen, I know this has been hard on you but-"
"But what, Chris? My heart can't take much more. After 6 months you come back and remember. What about the act 5 months ago, rescuing me? God I thought you remembered then but Mel told me you just took off! I fell for you Chris Halliwell and you broke me. You broke me into a million pieces."
"Then let me pick them up!" He cried, cupping her face with a hand. She leaned into it as the pad of his thumb wiped her tears. She put a hand over his and intertwined their fingers. Jenna closed her eyes and let herself remain in the dream for a minute then gently pulled his hand away as she looked at him with blurry eyes.
"I can't do that." Jenna told him, tears choking her throat.
"Jen-"
She cut across him quickly before he could weaken her. "I'm not going to let myself fall into this trap. This trap of getting me heart broken. Not again."
He nodded as a single tear fell down his cheek. He leaned in suddenly and he turned his face towards her ear. She could feel the warmth of his breathe and it made her long for him. He whispered softly into her ear, "I'm not going to give up on you. On us. I'm going to fight for you Jenna Nicols."
Jenna turned as he took a step back and walked away fast as she could, her hand clenched around her mobile. Stupid phone…
Jenna stood on Phoebe's doorstep and knocked. She opened it and her eyes widened, just as they had when she had astral projected into Phoebe's lounge.
"Care to pick up a stray?" Jenna asked and she pulled the younger girl into a hug.
"Pheebs? Who is at the door?" Phoebe smiled as Jenna pulled back. "Jenna?!" Jen got attacked by Paige hugging her tightly.
"Yeah it's me." Jenna laughed.
"What is up with you two? Maybe Chris isn't the only one who needs a intervention." Jenna felt my heart tighten again but smiled as the motherly but slightly aged Piper Halliwell entered the room. "Jen? I thought you weren't home for another fortnight?"
"Ah, New York didn't take. Thought I'd come home to see the family." Jenna grinned as the future Matriarch of the Halliwells embraced her.
"It's good to see you Jen," Piper whispered against her hair.
Jenna sighed into the warm embrace and reluctantly drew back.
"We missed you. It's good to have you back."
She smiled at the sisters. "It's good to be back."
ALTERNATIVE ENDING:
I was considering ending it like this with an epilogue but I thought that it didn't do the story justice.
"But what, Chris? My heart can't take much more. After 6 months you come back and remember. What about the act 5 months ago, rescuing me? God I thought you remembered then but Mel told me you just took off! I fell for you Chris Halliwell and you broke me. You broke me into a million pieces."
"Then let me pick them up!" He cried, cupping my face with a hand. I leaned into it as the pad of his thumb wiped my tears. I put a hand over his and intertwined our fingers. I closed my eyes and let myself remain in the dream for a minute then gently pulled his hand away as I looked at him with blurry eyes.
He looked down at her confused and hurt. "What can I do to show you, I want you? That I love you?"
"Chris you've hurt me. So much." Jenna whispered.
"Then let me put it right. Please, Jen. I love you so much that knowing I hurt you, hurts me. God, Jen, I forgot you and that kills me. You know why? Because I forgot that briliant mouth telling me that it loved me." He traced her mouth with his finger. "I forgot that wonderful untameable hair." He ran his hand throught her hair. "And I forgot those brilliant brown eyes, looking through my soul." He ran a finger under her eye. "But most importantly, I forgot you. I forgot my love for you." He placed a hand over her heart and felt the rapid beating. "And that hurts."
Jenna looked up to him and grabbed his shirt, pulling hiom down into a searing kiss full of all the built up tension and longing. The intertwined lovers had to come up for air, gently resting their foreheads together.
"I love you Jen."
"Not as much as I love you Chris." She kissed him gently, knowing he was hers and hers alone.
So what do you think? Good or not good?
My new Charmed fic coming soon...
