Jenny: Branston High Series Chapter twenty-six - Kenji
The work event was wonderful and getting to fall asleep with Jenny beside me made it pretty much perfect, it reinforced my desire to have her in my life permanently and it was on the tip of my tongue to ask her to come visit the house with me today. Luckily she has a full day at uni, so left with her bag straining under the weight of all her books. I stretch out in her bed, not wanting to get up yet but knowing I have to if I want to look presentable for this estate agent.The house is unexpectedly and unnaturally quiet as I head downstairs, it's not often that every one of Jenny's housemates are out at the same time, but I guess with the new term they're all out studying somewhere, or that's what I assume until I hear the high pitched scream coming from the kitchen.Instantly I take off running, thinking someone's slipped or cut themselves or something, but what I didn't expect was to see Priya, scantily clad, being held down by a guy in a black balaclava."Help, please, someone."

"Bye, see you tomorrow." Maeve calls out as she and Maeve leave me in the lecture hall, my eyes on Michael Carpenter as he packs away his paperwork."You got a ninety-seven, will that do?" He sighs. Almost as if he senses me there, he places my repeated assignment onto the desk in front of me without looking up. "Yes, thank you so much." I clutch the paper to my chest and grin from ear to ear."This was a one time arrangement Jeniliya, you are a very capable student but I cannot make these sorts of arrangements again." He says, sitting down and looking at me over the rim of his glasses. "It's not fair on the other students and more importantly, I don't have the time for it.""I understand, thank you. Thank you so much." I'm so happy I'm practically dancing from foot to foot in front of him."Ok, go, do whatever it is you do to celebrate." He waves his hand at me and I bow, because apparently my brain isn't working properly. Michael chuckles and returns to sorting papers as I swiftly

I'm so tired and we're only halfway through the tour, don't get me wrong, it's fucking amazing and the fans are great. But we've performed thirteen nights out of fourteen, with after parties that we're expected to show our faces at for at least a few hours before travelling to the next town. At least this year we've got hotels to sleep in, last time we were here we had to try and sleep in a tour bus as we travelled around. I barely knew my ass from my elbow by the end of that tour. I've always struggled to sleep during the day but I must have been that tired last night that I passed out as soon as I got into bed and I'm feeling pretty good when my alarm finally wakes me up. It's always the same routine when on tour, wake up, shower, big breakfast meeting with Fred and the guys, few hours to do what we want and explore wherever we are, then head over for a soundcheck and practice before the show. This year I've also been calling Jenny every day between showering and breakfast, becaus

I sit on my bed staring at my phone, I'm not sure what time it is or how long I've been sitting here, but I just can't bring myself to move. Texts come through, making my phone buzz in my hand but it's like my brain's shut off because I can't fathom quite what they say. Well, at least that part of my brain isn't working, there's another part that is more than active. The part that's going wild about the fact that Kenji actually thought I'd slept with those men. I never doubted him, even with the photos, but he didn't even question it, I can't shake that look in his eyes from my mind. He didn't trust me and without trust, how can we say we're in love? It feels like I've been in a sort of bubble since getting together with Kenji, there's been so much drama, one way or another, maybe that's why it feels like we've fallen for each other so quickly. But what do we really know about one another? Why do we like each other? Aside from physical attraction? Do we even have anything in common?

I've been trying to get hold of Jenny for hours but her phone keeps going to answerphone and I can't pretend I'm not starting to panic. I've got two weeks left over here but I'm seriously considering what the repercussions would be if I skipped the rest of the tour and got on the next plane home.Keeping my phone in my hand, I drag myself to the pre-gig meeting and sit through it without really hearing a thing.A plane rumbles overhead and it's almost like a sign, or at least that's how I'm taking it and as soon as the meeting finishes, I grab my passport and hide it in my jacket pocket. "Oi, what's got you looking so serious?" Harrison kicks my foot with his in the car, jolting me so I'm not sure if I've clicked on the right flight."Nothing " I grumble, going back and reselecting one that I should be able to make if we finish on time, but then with encores?Just as I'm about to pay for the ticket, my phone starts ringing and my entire body goes into panic as I see it's Jenny's sist

I'm having the best holiday of my life. I emailed my lecturers this morning and for lack of a better excuse, I actually told them all that I'd flown to Australia to meet my boyfriend for the last two weeks of his tour. I don't know how that'll go down, but hopefully I'll get points for being honest, maybe? I'm all up to date with my work and they know I'll catch up on whatever I've missed anyway but from the moment I sent the email and I fell back to sleep beside Kenji, I've not thought about my course at all, which is so not like me, but I'm happy and relaxed, which is also so not like me. After breakfast in bed, Kenji told me to get dressed because he was taking me out and the next thing I know he's driving me across the country towards a mystery location.I think I saw a camel!!We rushed passed so quickly that it might have been a horse standing oddly, but I swear it was a camel, which as ridiculous as it sounds since I flew for half a day, made me realise I'm in a different coun

The last week has flown by, I'm exhausted but I've never been happier. Every night we do a show and Jenny is there with Ivy cheering us on, then we go to the after parties and everyone loves her. Even Fred has come around to the idea once he saw the positive response from the pictures of Jenny at our show the first night she arrived. I reposted it on my Instagram page, where I clarified that we are together and very happy but most definitely not in an open relationship. There have been some upset and even some angry fans with some very negative posts about the situation and, Jenny in particular, but I've focused on the positive posts, replying to only those on my page and the positive posts are increasing every day. There are even a few who have started copying her style, posting pictures of themselves wearing outfits they've seen her in on her Social media. I haven't told her about that yet, I think it might freak her out and I just want her to enjoy her time with me here without wo

I don't want to go home and go back to university, back to my boring normal life. The thought has been getting stronger and stronger the longer I've been out here and it's worrying. I brought some textbooks with me, planning to study while Kenji was working or sleeping or whatever, but I've done nothing even remotely academic. There's just too much to see and do. The world is so big and I've been practically nowhere. It's never bothered me before, I had a plan and I stuck to it, never wavered, not until Kenji came along and I know my family will probably be annoyed that I've lost focus, but I can't seem to keep my mind on what I'm learning.Even now, I'm sitting with my books out in front of me, the band is with Fred sorting out the chaos that happened last night and Ivy is sitting quietly watching TV on the sofa near me. After saying good morning and then sitting on the opposite side of the room it was obvious she doesn't want to talk, I think she's still shake from last night, she'
