Loved you first
Strong
Jenna's honeymoon had gone even better than she had expected. Instead of going to Paris like she had thought was planned, Harry had surprised her and taken her on a road trip around Italy. He had bought a large, old van that seemed like it could house all of One Direction. He had set up a bed of blankets and pillows in the back for at night. Sparkling lights hung down from the roof of the van and lit up like stars for them.
Now the two were home and living in the same house. Harry had officially moved out of his old home and into the house that he and Jenna had purchased together. It had been three weeks since the wedding and it's mishaps. To relax, the two newlyweds had popped in a movie and were laying down on a pad of blankets in front of their flat-screen TV. Jenna had her head on Harry's chest and he was gently stroking her hair.
"You know," Harry started. "I think that marrying you had been the smartest thing I've done all my life." His hand now rested on her back.
Jenna snuggled closer to him. "I have to agree." She smiled. "I think saying yes is the smarted thing I've ever done."
Harry laughed. "I'm glad we can agree, love."
The two sat in silence for a few more moments before Jenna spoke up. "Have you heard anything out of our friends since we got back?" The only thing she had heard was that Cassie and Louis were talking. A lot.
"I heard that the guys were interviewed a couple of times about the wedding. That's about it."
Jenna stiffened. "What did they say about it?"
The whole incident with Niall might have set off some bad press and she wasn't sure if she wanted to deal with anything about it. After everybody had calmed down, Jenna, Harry, and Niall had talked while supervised by Liam and Louis. Niall had apologized and Jenna and Harry had forgiven him. Things still weren't quit the same between them all, but life was heading back towards normal and that was all Jenna could ask for.
"They told the truth mostly. They said that it was a beautiful ceremony and that the bride and groom were very happy. It was stated that there was some sort of drama, but nothing has gotten out about drunken Niall and nothing will, hopefully."
"That's good. I wouldn't want us to have to explain that to the whole world. It would just be embarrassing."
"I agree, love." Harry rubbed her back.
At that moment, Jenna's phone went off, Honor Society blaring throughout the room. She grabbed her phone and opened the message.
Amanda: Omg Jenna you'll never guess what just happened to me.
Jenna: What??
It was strange for Amanda to be texting Jenna past 10 PM. Something big must have really happened. Jenna sat and waited for a response. But she was not expecting what would be sent to her.
Amanda: So, you probably don't know this, but Zayn and I hit it off really well at your wedding.
Jenna didn't know this. She did know that the two had both gone outside during the dramatics, but that was about it. Aside from that, nothing had been said to her. She continued to read.
Amanda: Well, over the past few weeks we've gone on a few dates.
Jenna's jaw dropped. Zayn and Amanda were seeing each other!? Why had this not come to her attention before. She finished scanning over the text message.
Amanda: We just had sex.
Jenna's eyes bulged and she sat up, banging her hand on the floor.
"What's up?" Harry asked, sitting up with her.
Jenna turned to her husband, a big smile on her face. "You'll never guess which band-mate of yours just had intercourse with one of my best friends."
Harry's eyebrows furrowed and his lips pinched together. "One of them...?"
"Yes." Jenna started to text Amanda back.
Jenna: No freaking way! Are you kidding me!? You two are dating, now?
She looked back at Harry. He still seemed to be thinking. She rolled her eyes. "I'll give you a hint, his name rhymes with main."
Harry's eyes grew large. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty serious." She bit her lip.
"So they're banging?" He reached for her phone.
"Ah-ah-ah!" Jenna pulled away. "This is classified information! If you want to hear about their sexual affairs you're going to have to text your buddy, Zayn." She got up and walked over to the couch.
"Fine," Harry muttered, giving her a sly look and pulling out his phone.
Amanda: Yeah, I think we are.
Jenna: Give me the details!
Jenna paused the movie. Neither she or Harry were watching it. They were both too caught up in their phones.
"He says he did!" Harry laughed.
The two sat and gossiped like they were in middle school. Amanda and Zayn both said that they were dating. Both had also mentioned that he had quit smoking for her. They'd gone on four dates and each had ended up in deep conversations on Zayn's couch at four in the morning.
"I just can't believe it. I never thought those two would go together like that. They seemed so different."
"Well," Harry said. "Zayn has always like smart girls. I'm surprised he didn't go for you." He bumped her shoulder with his.
"Ha ha." She shook her head.
"You know about Cassie and Louis, too, don't you?" Jenna asked.
"Cassie and Louis...?" Harry shook his head.
"I think they've got some chemistry going on." Jenna smiled and sighed. "I swear, our wedding was just a hook up spot."
Harry laughed and then his face softened. "Hey, speaking of hooking up..."
His hands were soft on Jenna's face as the two leaned in. Before they knew it, their soft kiss ended up sparking and growing into a steady flame. When their skin touched electricity crackled off them. They slowly fell into the night.
* * * *
"Oh my gosh, tell me all about it!" Cassie leaned forward, her hand grasping her frappuccino tightly.
Jenna, Amanda, Cassie, and Ashley were out shopping for the day. They had taken a break at the nearest Starbucks to refresh themselves before they went to the next store. The subject of gossip was Jenna's honeymoon, and Jenna had no problem with it.
"Well, like I said, we were supposed to go to Paris, but he surprised me. I've always wanted to go to Italy and he knew it. So we toured the country in an old van. It was beautiful."
"That's just so romantic." Cassie sighed, leaning back in her seat.
"Did you do it in the back of the van?" Ashley asked frankly, taking a sip of her vanilla latte.
Jenna laughed. "That's a strong possibility."
"So are you trying for kids yet? Or are you keeping it strictly chemistry for now?" Amanda asked.
"Oh, no kids yet." Jenna shook her head. "Neither of us are ready for that commitment. We're just going to try to keep it us for awhile. Anyhow, Harry's still in One Direction and they're still playing around the world. We're going to wait and see if it dies down in a couple of years."
"Smart," Ashley flipped her mahogany colored hair behind her shoulders.
"Do you have pictures of Italy?" Cassie asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah," Jenna grabbed her phone and showed her friends. There were hundreds of pictures of the honeymoon - She and Harry at the Colosseum, Pantheon, in Vatican museums, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There were photographs of them at the Trevi Fountain and the Aquarium of Genoa, there were even a few shots of Mount Etna.
"It looks like a wonderful time." Amanda sighed.
"It does," Ashley clicked her tongue. "What I wouldn't give to be you."
"I feel like this is where I should say that you're really not missing out, but you kind of are." All the girls laughed.
"So how are you and Zayn doing?" Jenna asked Amanda.
The blonde blushed and look down, smiling. "We're doing amazing." She giggled. "He wants to take me out to a fancy dinner tomorrow."
"You're going to accept, right!?" Cassie raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, I don't think that I could decline!" Amanda exclaimed. "Zayn is very persuasive."
"I totally understand," Ashley said. "My last boyfriend was just so persuasive. It was difficult to tell him know about a lot of things."
Jenna raised her eyebrows and looked away. She didn't want to know what her boyfriend had persuaded her to do.
"Thank goodness someone else understands!" Amanda smiled.
Jenna and Cassie exchanged looks. Amanda didn't know what exactly Ashley was talking about. Cassie and Jenna had to hide their snickering.
"So what about you and Louis?" Amanda asked, turning towards Cassie.
She regained her composure. "It's going well. I'm not sure what'd you call... well, whatever we're doing. I think we're talking. We've hung out a lot, but no for sure dates. He is over a lot, though. And we write songs together."
"Oh, romantic!" Jenna winked at Cassie who laughed.
"Well, nothing extreme has happened yet. The closest I've even gotten to kissing him was a kiss on the cheek the other night when I went home. I do think that -"
Cassie was cut off by the sound of Jenna's phone. It was Harry.
"Hey babe, what's -?" Jenna was cut off. "What!?" She stood up. "Alright, we'll be there in a minute. Bye."
"What's wrong?" Amanda asked, standing up, too.
"Guys, Niall just shot himself. He's in the ER."
Everyone paused, nobody know what to do.
"Come on," Jenna said. "We've gotta go. Now."
They all grabbed their bags and ran to the car.
Notes
Hey!So I decided to write more! I think I'm going to make it somewhat a Soap Opera. Or at least there's going to be a lot drama!
Sorry it's a lot shorter than the last chapter, I've got a lot of idea's and it's too early to put them into action. So there has to be some filler in there!
I hope you guys like it! I'll try to post another chapter tomorrow night!
