Trauma in the Ballroom

It'll be Ok

"Arms" by Christina Perri would be great for this one.

Maks and Val were greeted by a cheerful Jenna after arriving.

"Hey guys!"

"Thanks again J," Val said leaning over and kissing her cheek, so she blushed.

"It's no problem! Maks you can stay in the room right next to mine, I'll show you," she said bringing him into the extra room.

"Thank you Jenna."

"Anything for you and Val," she smiled.

"You like him, don't you?"

"What?"

"Do you like Val? More than a friend."

"...maybe."

"Good," he winked.

That's weird, Jenna thought, but shook it off quickly.

Val sat on the couch thinking to himself. He was going to get her. She was just so perfect. She came and sat on the other side of the couch, looking down at her phone frowning.

"Jenna, what's wrong?" He asked curious, and scooted closer to her.

"It's...it's nothing," she said wiping her eye.

"It's obviously something."

"Val! Leave me alone!" She started to cry.

"Baby, what's wrong," he asked, looking deep into her crystal blue eyes, seeing the pain in them.

"It's...my mom. She, she has brain cancer," Jenna cried. Val wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed into his chest.

"It's ok baby, it's ok," he soothed her, stroking her beautiful brown hair.

"Val."

"Yes, baby?"

"I...I love you," she cried harder.

"I love you too," he told her as he kissed her head. He gently moved her face up to his.

"Your mother is a strong woman, she'll get through this."

"Thank you, Val."

"Wanna just watch movies all night out here with me?"

"Yeah," she replied as he leaned back and they got comfortable and she snuggled into his chest. He put his arms around her and pulled her close.

"I love you, baby," he whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek.

"So all that flirting, was real? You weren't just being a player?"

"Yep. I just wanted you."

She blushed, "awe."

Maks walked out into the living room looking tired.

"Goodnight guys," he said groggily.

"Goodnight."

"Way to get her, bro," he teased as he left.

"You're all mine now," he said with and evil laugh and started kissing her. After dozens of movies they fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms, just how they were supposed to be.
