In which you fall in love at the lodge (2)
Listen to: Style - Taylor Swift
You managed to give Jenna that tour, she so desperately needed. But you haven't seen her since, it's only been a few days, and you weren't so worried, she was probably exploring or going around with her friends.
You wanted to hang out with her, but you could never find her, so you just complained to Madelyn, who thought it was funny at first, but now finds it exhausting. So, she went around, trying to find Jenna, while you were doing whatever you wanted to do.
Which was probably sleeping. Good thing she had a key! Just in case of course.
You were pretty comfortable in your bed, sleeping soundly, as your speaker was playing your music on the night stand beside you. The daylight was peaking through the blinds, the lights off. You and some of your other friends were going to do some partying later in the night, and you wanted to get some sleep so that you don't fall asleep on some chair (You had a tendency to fall asleep when drunk and had a restless night).
Madelyn knocked on the door, thinking you were just scrolling on tiktok. "Y/n!" She yelled, banging on the door more. You grumbled, hearing the knocks. You slipped out of the bed, putting some shorts on. You got your slippers on and grabbed a sweatshirt. You opened the door, fixing up your sweater.
"What's up, Mads." You croaked, obvious that you were sleeping.
"Oh shit, my bad, I thought you were just on you were on your phone or something." She apologized, a slight guilty look. "Are you sleeping for tonight?" You nodded, rubbing your eyes and yawning. "Oh, well, uh, there was a change in plans."
Your eyebrows were knitted together. "What do you mean?" You glanced at your phone which was on the night stand. You glanced back at Madelyn. "Come in." She followed you inside, closing the door behind her.
You grabbed your phone, looking through the notifications. The plans did in fact change. "So, you wanna head out to the lookout? The sun's going to set soon, and I wanna get some pictures." You nodded, getting up and getting ready.
She helped you finish your hair and makeup, not wanting too much. The two of you headed to the lookout, Madelyn being on her phone a lot, but you were pretty used to it. You admired the place as you guys walked, although you knew the place by heart, it was still nice to watch.
Once you guys got there, the view was absolutely breathtaking, as always. No matter how many times you visit the place, it always manages to be prettier than memory. You and Madelyn just fooled around, taking pictures, both together and separately.
You loved the pictures, posting them onto your social medias. You felt your phone dinging with all the notifications, so you silenced them, not wanting to focus on it. You were sitting with Madelyn, just watching the sun set. It was peaceful, until she looked at her phone once more.
"I gotta go get something, y/n, I'll be right back." She told you, you raised your eyebrow at her, suspecting she was lying, but you let it go. You nodded, waving her good bye.
You just watched the sunset, you tried to focus on it, but your mind kept drifting back to Jenna. How luck never seemed to be on your side, every time you looked for her, she wasn't there. It frustrated you.
"Holy shit," Your head snapped to the voice, it was the girl you were just thinking about. You raised your eyebrow and smiled. "It's so pretty."
"Me or the sky?" You asked, a smirk on your face. Your heart thumped. Madelyn was up to this. You were sure of it. I mean, you weren't complaining, that's for sure.
"You're gorgeous," She answered, making you blush and roll your eyes. "But the sky, oh my god." You let out a small laugh, patting the spot beside you.
"Sit with me." She sat beside you, the two of you were pretty close.
"Does this count as the date?" She asked, after a good few minutes of watching. You chuckled, leaning more towards her for heat.
"Barely." You grabbed the blanket, draping it over the two of you, as you got comfortable and closer. At this point, the two of you were cuddling, you were trying to hide the blush and your heart that's beating a million a minute.
You liked the feeling of her in your arms, it felt comfortable and normal. She was relaxed against you. You leaned your head on hers. The two of you fell into some small talk, learning even more about each other.
What you didn't know was your friends hidden away, gushing about the two of you. they took pictures, some seeming like stalker pictures, and sent them to you. Madelyn, being the mastermind that she is, knew that your phone was silent, so you wouldn't see them until later.
You and Jenna just stayed together for majority of the night, laughing together and sharing deep dark secrets. You trusted each other.
You were kind of fucked, like you fell in love fucked.
Despite only meeting a week ago, you knew her pretty well, and she knew you well. you knew her strengths and weaknesses, she knew what made you cry and what made you happy.
Why don't we get into what was said, we have enough time to.
"What's your..." She trailed off, thinking. "Favorite role, and why?"
You pondered, your eyes never leaving the sky. "Hmm, like character or movie?"
"Character and then movie." She answered, you nodded your head slowly at that.
"I don't know if you've watched, but I really liked being in Knives Out, like both the movies. She's really complex, and like smart. Honestly, I wish I was like her." She just watched you as you talked, admiring you. "I mean, that's also where I met Madelyn, so, like double plus."
"Is she your girlfriend or something?" Jenna interrupted, catching you off guard.
You let out a laugh. "You jealous or something?" You had a slight smirk on your face, making her roll her eyes and pinch your thighs hard. "Ow," You laughed. "No, we're just best friends. She's my ride or die, I guess." Jenna just nodded, avoiding your playful stare.
"Go on."
"Uhh, I really liked being in Fear Street, sure my character wasn't much, but I really liked the premise of the movie, with like lesbians and people of color often getting killed off first, and how it was subverted. They're also like an amazing cast, I love them so much." You looked at her, your eyes meeting. You could've sworn you saw her blush, but you brushed it off. "What about you?"
"What about me?"
"What's your favorite role and why?"
Eventually, all the talking had lured the two of you to sleep. The starts twinkling above the two of you.
It was quite the surprise you two didn't die.
You woke up, slightly uncomfortable and cold. You wanted to move but there was a weight on you, it was Jenna, sound asleep. She looked really comfortable.
You melted at the sight, smiling uncontrollably.
You didn't want to ruin her sleep, so you turned on your phone, looking through everything. You noticed all the texts you got from Madelyn. You scoffed at the pictures she sent you, but then you scrolled and saw her spamming you and asking you for details.

You continued to scroll around, quietly laughing at different things. Jenna stirred, making you put your phone away, as softly as possible.
"Where am I?" Her voice sounded groggy as she went to stretch. Your eyes widened as you tried to catch her, but you were a little too late. "Ow."
"My bad." You apologized, you got up and held up a hand for her. Her hand was warm, despite being out in the cold. She got up and shivered.
"Holy fuck, were we out here all night." She asked, you grabbed your phone and nodded.
"Yeah, wanna get some hot chocolate?" She nodded, making you smile.
