Here is the next bit. Hope it's up to scratch. Please tell me what you think of it.


Jenny laid her head against the window, cradling her knees. Her baggy top covered past her knees, and her eyes were slightly stained with smeared eyeliner. Zack was shouting at Jenny to unlock her door. Jason was dropping Lizzie off at the airport and Adam went after Matt. The happenings in the last hour was unbearable for Jenny, she didn't know who to trust or who to believe.

"Jenny! I am giving you thirty seconds to open this door before I kick it down." Zack shouted. And exactly 25 seconds passed when he started to count down. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1"

Her bedroom door broke in half and Zack rushed in. He looked towards Jenny with pity, and didn't know how to make her sorrow go away. Zack took small steps towards her curled body, making sure she didn't get any more startled than needed. He picked Jenny up and put her on bed. Jenny wrapped her arms around Zack's torso and let herself cry; and he held her, stroked her hair and kissed her head. Zack held Jenny for ten minutes before she could get back her composure.

"I'm... so… ." Jenny stuttered between sobs.

"For what?" Zack whispered into her hair.

"For crying and ruining your t-shirt."

"Your tears aren't worth all my tops." Zack laughed. "Now it's late, get some sleep. I'll be on the couch if you need me."

"Zack."

"Yeah?"

"I need you." Jenny patted on the bed. "Watch a movie with me?"

"Fine."

Zack sat down next to Jenny once he put a film on. Jenny had her head against his shoulder and hand resting on his chest. He had his arms wrapped around her and his head lead against his. A blanket laid on both of them for warmth. It took Jenny minutes to fall asleep; she was in the comfort of Zack. Zack put his hand on top of Jenny and locked their fingers before falling asleep with her in his arms.


Jenny woke up and the clock read '3 A.M.', and Zack's arms were still wrapped around her; his breathing heavy. She moved his arms and slowly stood up, trying not to wake him up. The floorboards creaked lightly as Jenny tip-toed downstairs. Adam's car was parked outside next to Jason's, they had returned once Zack and Jenny had fallen asleep. Jenny walked through the living room and the porch to go into the garden, closing the door behind her. She lied on the cushioned swing and started at the stars. The winter breeze swept making her shiver so she covered herself with a blanket. Everything seemed more peaceful at night. Jenny fell asleep to the sight of glistening stars.


"Jenny… Jenny" Adam whispered in Jenny's ear. "You have to drink this tea before you freeze."

Jenny sat up slowly and looked around. Her body was wrapped around in blankets on the sofa.

"Who brought me in?" Jenny mumbled. "What time is it?"

"Jay did. Zack got worried when you weren't in bed so he woke us up." Adam handed the cup over. "Not too late, around 7."

"Mhhhm." Jenny said through her drink.

"Well, I'm so sorry about last night. I heard the news about Zack and I'm glad you won't be alone." Jason kissed the top of Jenny's head. "I'm off to wherever the company has booked me, so I'll see you lot soon."

There was a chorus of 'bye' that followed after Jason.

"How are you feeling Jen?" Zack sat next to Jenny.

"I don't really know." Jenny sighed.

"Well he is nowhere near here, I made sure of that." Adam explained.

"Good." Jenny stood up. "I'm going to have a bath. A very long one."

"You think she's going to be okay?" Zack asked Adam. "She doesn't show she's hurt that much now, but last night she looked horrible."

"Give her an hour and she'll be back to normal physically." Adam shrugged. "Emotionally you better look after her there, I don't want Jenny hurt again."

"I promise she won't. Jay will be there too, we'll watch out for her."

"Good. I've booked you two 2 hours at a gym and 3 hours in ring every day, with the exception of Sundays. This starts tomorrow. Do you know where you are going to stay? You are always welcome here."

"Really? Thanks bro'. I'm going to start looking for places as soon as I can and I'll have to get the guys to ship over my stuff, I'll call them late. You wouldn't mind me crashing in a guest room for a few days?"

"Go look today, and take Jenny with you. I don't want her staying home. Then I'll cook us a meal for the night."

"Okay. Where's the closest clothes shop? I need something to wear."

"There's a mall in town." Jenny's voice came behind them. "Mind if I tag along? If we are going to start training I need clothes."

"Sure, I'm going house hunting after. Want to join?" Zack asked.


"I like this one the best." Jenny squealed. "It's spacey and has a spare room. You can make that into a gym?"

"Yeah, I like this one too." Zack turned to the salesmen. "I'll take it. When can I move in?"

"Well sir, tomorrow at the latest." The salesman said.

"Okay. Thanks for your help." Zack smiled and closed his new homes door behind him.

"What about your stuff?" Jenny got in to driver's seat.

"I've already called the guys. They said to text them the address and they'll have it delivered by the morning."

"Well, your new home looks amazing."

"And it's only 4 o'clock. How about we got somewhere?"

"I saw an ice-skating place on our way here, how about there?"

"I can't skate."

"I'll teach you." Jenny giggled.

Around 5 minutes late they pulled up into the car park. Zack opened the door to the ring and paid for their entrance. Jenny stepped onto the ring and waited for Zack to join her. He looked around worriedly.

"You'll be fine." Jenny offered her hand.

"I hope you're right." Zack took her hand and slowly stepped onto the ice.

"There we go." Jenny pulled Zack slowly. "Watch my feet and try to copy."

"Oka-" Zack fell on the floor.

"Come on up." Jenny giggled.

"This is lethal." Zack brushed off the ice from his legs.

"Watch this." Jenny took off from Zack's side and started to rush around the ring; jumping a few times on her way. She finished off by pretending to crash into Zack- making him scream.

"That is not funny bro'." Zack held his hand to his heart.

"It is too, now you try."

"I can't do that."

"Sure you can"

"Nope."

Jenny grabbed Zack's hand and dragged him into the middle of the ice ring and stepped back. "Now get to the side, I'm not going to help."

"Jennifer Oriana Copeland. Help me right now."

"Or else?"

"I will make you pay."

"I'm not going to move, come and make me pay." Jenny winked.

"Oh, young lady. You are going to regret this." Zack tried but nearly lost his balance. "Please help."

"Fine," Jenny shook her head. "Watch my feet. See how I push my feet backwards, you do that."

"Like this?"

"Yeah, now carry on." Jenny moved out of the ice ring and took of her shoes.

"You better run," Zack got closer to the side. "You will pay."

"You can't get out."

"Want a bet?" Zack took a leap of faith and landed by the side. He quickly stepped out of the ring and took his shoes off. "And you said I couldn't get out. Now you pay." Zack gave an 'evil' laugh.

"Ahh…" Jenny screamed while trying to run to the outside door before she got swept off her feet.

Zack lifted her up and put her over his shoulder before slapping her bum. They both went to the car giggling and for a brief moment, care free.


Please review. I need to know what you lot think and which way to go with the story, so if you have any ideas I'm all ears.
