As soon as Tilly woke up her thoughts turned to yesterday. She couldn't help but replay the events over and over in her head. She kept thinking about what Jen had said, she thought if Jen really did have feelings towards her why would she choose her career over her so easily. Jen never gave Tilly the chance to discuss how it could work between them or even discuss a workable solution.
As her mind was working into overdrive she got up and decided to get ready for college, she was glad she didn't have her favourite teachers lesson today as she wouldn't be able to control her anger which was more towards the circumstances rather than on Jen. But deep down she was gutted she couldn't see her beautiful face today, but little did she know…..Jen had other plans.
Tilly's day was just like any other, a busy one filled with long lessons trying to meet deadlines. She kept her head down as always working hard. This was the reason for her always submitting work way before it was scheduled to be handed in. She was a bright student who knew what she wanted in life and this was very rare for teenagers her age.
As Tilly was in her last lesson of the day, this being biology, she was disrupted by her phone which was rudely vibrating in her pocket. She went to turn it off to continue with her work but she noticed '1 new message from Jen' she contemplated reading it or not but curiosity overtook. Just as she was about to open the message the bell signalled for the end of the lesson so she hurried outside of college and made her way home where straight away she read the message.
'There's something important I need to tell you, please meet me at the folly tonight at 9pm. This may be the last opportunity I get to speak to you, I'm leaving Hollyoaks, for good' Tilly couldn't believe her eyes. Jen's moving away?! Tilly had to meet her, she needed to see her.
On the other side of the village Jen had just finished half a day of teaching, she only had morning lessons. After the lessons she started putting her plan to win Tilly back into action. After a busy day Jen made her way home to get ready to meet the teenager. She wanted to look her absolute best but also compose herself for the night. It was now 10 to 9 and Tilly was making her way to the folly where she sat down and waited. After around 5 minutes she noticed an envelope on the opposite bench, she walked over to the paper picked it up. On the front was her name, she frowned while looking at the envelope. She opened it and inside was a letter containing some suprising words.
Dearest Tilly,
I will never again picture a sweeter image as beauty seduces me, your voice reaches my ears like the sweetest melody, beating the lustful pulse of my aching heart. Ever since that first glance my life shifted as a whole, because in an instant I understood what love really is I was just too scared to pursue it. I understood that when love and joy are shared, the more intense they become. Being in your presence makes me feel alive. You mean a lot to me and the readiness to review this feeling is a promise, of a truthful worship I have towards you.I have absolute certainty that my biggest fulfillment is knowing that I can make you the happiest woman and the most beloved in this earth. There is something about you Tilly Evans. A feeling in which I cannot control, you are the only one I want. I am truly sorry for all the pain I have caused you and if you give me the chance I will make it up to you. I want to make you mine and I will fight away all of the obstacles that come our way. Im begging you from the bottom of my heart. Let me make you mine.
Love Jen xxx
Tilly's eyes are now streaming with tears. She struggled to see the letter towards the end of reading it. she thinks it was the most beautiful thing she has ever read. She couldn't believe it but she couldn't help but wonder why was Jen saying she wanted to make Tilly hers if she was leaving? For the first time Jen had laied herself bare for Tilly, she confronted her fears and jumped. The one thing that scares her the most, she is risking her insecurities just for Tilly. For that Tilly knew Jen was serious.
Just as Tilly was reading the letter over again she heard shuffling in front of her. She looked up and saw Jen standing their in front of her looking down at the floor.
