Consequences

54-Flashback

*Jenna's POV*

"Hey," I say hesitantly as I enter the room with Izzy in.
"Oh my God. Jenna? Jenna!" She looks up excitedly, smiling as soon as our eyes make contact.
"Yeah hi," I say in the same small voice.
"It's actually you!" She sits up straight in bed.
"Yeah it is!" I match her smile and start to walk closer.
"I've been reading about you trying to meet me, but I never thought it was true! And now you're actually here!" She says excitedly.
"Of course it's true! I've spent the morning with Grace, she's just outside getting some food." I exclaim.
"That's so weird and cool at the same time! But... Jenna, you can't blame yourself. I can't even blame myself! I was the one who did it, but in the end it's the people who were commenting rude stuff and turning people against me and my account. It wasn't your fault in the slightest. It was my fault more than yours and even then it wasn't my fault." She completely changes her tone from excited to serious.

I kneel down beside her bed, it makes me extremely short and Izzy notices this. She pats the bed, indicating for me to sit there.
"Are you sure?" I murmur, not meaning the bed. I sit where she indicated and we link eyes for a while.
"Of course I'm sure." She says quietly after a pause, she looks down as she says this.

I don't quite know what to say so we sit in silence for a bit. It's not really silence as someone's phone, probably Izzy's, is plugged into a small speaker and playing music. At the moment, it's playing Sam Smith's 'Lay Me Down'. The music is really faint though and is quite calming. It's nearing the end of the song and I listen out for the next.

'I was scared of dentists and the dark'

The line shocked me, it was Matt's song. Riptide. His favourite song. The song he listened to whenever he was nervous or needed to be reminded of who he was.

"Alright Coleman?" Matt steps into the hair room.
"Top condition thank you Smith." I reply, with a slight smile. I pick up my hot water and take a sip, trying not to seem obsessed with Matt and his every move.
He walks over to the chair next to me and sits down in it. Quickly, he spins himself round before Michelle can stop him and get his wild hair under control. Michelle steps away for a second and while she does Matt takes his opportunity to reach for his phone and turn on his music. I turn my head slightly towards him so I can see what he's doing. Verity adjusts to my new angle easily and carries on twisting my hair into the style for our new episode: Journey to the Center of the TARDIS. I like this episode, it's different to usual and Moffat's managed to put another clever plot line in. My dress for this episode is one of my favourites so far. Also my hair... I wish I could do my hair this well everyday. Well, Verity's a hair genius and doesn't mind doing the style for me.

My thoughts are broken by Matt clicking play on his music and the line I hear once every couple of days.

I was scared of dentists and the dark.

I smile at him and he smiles back.
"You alright?" I murmur to him as Verity and Michelle step away from us to try and find a certain hair thing.
Our eyes meet for a moment and we hold each others gaze. Matt snaps out of first.
"Errr... Yeah, I guess."
"Matt," I take his hand,"you'll be great, you always are." It's short but I know it will mean more to him.
He smiles at me,"Oh what would I do without you Jenna?"
I know the question is rhetorical so I remain silent. I start to notice the music again. However, I still don't really know what bit we're at, it's just running through my head.

"I love you."I start to sing along with the music and then realize which part I just sung.
Matt sings the next part not realizing I've stopped,"When your singing that song and-" he stops realizing what we just sang. I stare at him and he meets his eyes with mine. A smile climbs it's way onto my lips and I see a similar one reach his. Slowly, we're moving closer to each other and I don't know what's going on. We are extremely close now and I'm starting to wonder if we're going to kiss. I wouldn't mind if we did. In fact, I rather want to. My minds all a blur apart from one thing that's straight in my head- Matt. Suddenly, the Game Of Thrones theme tune starts playing on my phone. Richard. Quickly I jerk away from Matt and blushing pick up my phone and spin my chair so I'm not facing him.
"Hey Jen," Richard greets me and I don't reply for a while. In the mirror, I can see Matt sitting on his phone flicking through his camera roll. He stops when a photo of us come up. I blush even more and quickly stand up as Verity just gave me a sign that I can go. I step out the room and walk over to mine that's only a couple of meters away.
"Jenna?" Richard asks slowly.
I walk through my door and shut it behind me before leaning against it. I sigh before focusing myself and trying to forget about what just happened.
Finally I reply to Richard,"Yes... Hi Richard sorry I-"
