SUMMARY: They say the line between love and hate is thin. This is true. Especailly with Orlando and Sienna. She hates him. He loves only himself. Until a tradgedy and an angel connetct them.
DISCLAIMER: Per usual I have not had the chance to meet Orlando or Dom.. or any star that might grace this story. Sienna, Jenny and Adriana are all mine.
CHAPTER 1
Sienna wiped the tears from her eyes and she looked down at her best friend. Jenny was lying in a hospital bed, dying; waiting for the cancer to finish its job on her. Sienna couldn’t believe what was happening. Jenny couldn’t die. She just couldn’t. Not when she had so much to live for. Not when she had a precious three year old little girl to take care of.
Her eyes flooded with tears as she thought about Adriana Jordan. Sienna loved her like she was her own. And when Jenny got sick, soon after Adriana was born, Sienna took over the roll as mother. Adriana was a strong little girl, but she missed her mommy. So did Sienna.
She looked back down at Jenny when she saw her move. She stood up from the chair had been in everyday for the last three weeks and walked over to the bed. Sienna put her hand on Jenny’s forehead.
“Enna?” Jenny said quietly.
Sienna smiled. “I’m here JenJen. Are you in any pain or anything?”
Jenny shook her head and smiled. “No. They have me on so many drugs I either can’t feel anything or I don’t care.”
Sienna tried to laugh, but looked away as she started crying again. She looked back when Jenny grabbed her hand.
“Hey, I thought we had a deal. No tears.”
Sienna shook her head. “YOU said that. Not me.”
Jenny laughed a little. “How’s Adi?”
Sienna grabbed the chair she had occupied minutes ago and pulled it close to the bed. “She misses her mommy. She wants to see you Jenny.”
Jenny shook her head with more force than one would think she had considering.. “No. I don’t want her to see me like this. That’s why I didn’t
want to stay at home. I want her to remember me the way I was three weeks ago. The last time she saw me.”
Sienna sighed. Three weeks ago. It seemed like so long now. Jenny and Adriana had been outside building snowmen and a snow fort. The plan was that they were going to attack Sienna after lunch. That never happened. Jenny had lain down for a nap and when Sienna and Adriana went to wake her, they couldn’t. Sienna immediately called nine- one-one and Jenny’s parents.
Adriana had been staying with her grandparents for the last three weeks but was insisting upon seeing Jenny. Jenny wouldn’t budge on this point.
“Jennifer..” She started her speech, but was interrupted when a knock on the door came and Jenny’s doctor entered.
“Miss Mathis, how are we feeling this afternoon?”
Jenny smiled. “With my hands.”
Sienna laughed as she continued to wipe the never ending tears off her cheeks. Jenny had kept her sense of humor during this whole thing and for that Sienna was glad.
Dr. Jacob’s smiled and squeezed Jenny’s hand. “Good to know. But are you in any pain or uncomfortable in any way?”
Jenny closed her eyes and shook her head. “I’m just tired. That’s all.”
The doctor looked up at Sienna. “Maybe she should sleep some more.”
She started to get up to leave with the doctor when Jenny stopped her.
“No. All I have been doing is sleeping and resting. Please. Let her stay.”
The doctor smiled at her. “Ok but kick her out when you want to sleep. Her constant vigil here isn’t probably the healthiest for her.”
Jenny smiled. “Will do. Thank you doctor.”
Dr. Jacob’s shut the door behind her Sienna sat back down.
“Enna can you sit me up. I am so sick and tired of laying down all the time. I mean I am going to be spending eternity in that position, I might as well sit up while I can.”
“Jen I hate when you joke like that.” Sienna said fluffing the pillows behind her head.
Jenny smiled. “I know. But I don’t laugh, I am going to cry and that is not going to do me or anyone else any good.”
She stopped to take a few breaths and Sienna marveled again at her strength all the while watching, knowing that any breath that Jenny took could be her last.
“What’s the date, Enna?” Jenny asked, eyes still closed.
“May seventh.”
“Hmmm. Damn.”
“What?”
“I don’t think I am going to make it to the Troy premier.”
Sienna rolled her eyes. Why Jenny insisted pm carrying a torch for that man she would never know. Yes he was hot. Charismatic? Yes again. But beyond that he was just a rich Hollywood jackass.
“It will probably suck anyways.” Sienna had never given much stock in his acting either. As far as she was concerned he just highly paid eye candy and that was it.
Jenny laughed, causing herself to lose her breath and start chocking. Sienna jumped up.
“Jen! Are you ok?”
She nodded. “Yea. It’s just your hatred of a man that you never met. Makes me laugh a little.”
“Pfft. I know enough thank you.”
“Alright. Enough about him. How about we watch out favorite pirates?”
Sienna smiled. Pirates of the Caribbean was their favorite movie. Jenny went into remission a week before it came out and to celebrate they went and saw it twenty two times. Ten of them with Adriana. They were going to celebrate Jenny’s one year of remission by going to see Troy. That wasn’t going to happen.
She put the movie in and hit play on the remote.
“Adi is going to call in about an hour to say goodnight.”
“I miss my little girl so much. The worst thing about this is leaving her. And you. And my parents.”
Sienna got up on the bed and laid down next to her. “I know honey. I know.”
They sat in silence, as the movie started.
“Hey there’s your captain Enna.” Jenny said smiling at the TV. Jack Sparrow had become an obsession that Sienna couldn’t get rid of. As soon as she had seen him on the boat, she had fallen instantly in love.
The phone rang and Sienna answered it.
“Hello.”
“Aunt Enna?”
“Adi baby. Hi. How are you?”
“I miss mommy.”
Sienna blinked back tears and looked down at Jenny who was looking up at her. She squeezed her hand.
“Well, you can talk to her. I am sitting right next to her sweetie.”
Sienna handed the phone to Jenny and went to the rest room. She splashed cold water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror. Three weeks of hell and she was ready to break down. She was losing the only friend, family really, that she had ever known.
“Keep it together, Sienna.” She said to her reflection. She took coulple deep breaths and went back out.
Jenny looked up at her with unshed tears.
“I love you to honey. Remember look out at the moon and I am looking too.”
Jenny handed the phone to Sienna to hang up and she started crying. Sienna put her arm around Jenny.
“It’s so damned unfair Enna.”
Sienna kissed the top of her head. “I know honey. I know.”
Jenny finally calmed down, and they turned their attention back to the movie. After another half hour Sienna noticed that Jenny was asleep so she was going to get up and move to the chair but was stopped by Jenny. Who in fact was not asleep.
“Enna.” She said softly
“Jen are you ok?”
She swallowed and opened her eyes. “Enna you have to promise me..” She stopped taking a few deep breaths.
“Jenny, don’t do this now.”
“Sienna I have to do this now. Promise me that you will get in touch with Adi’s dad. She deserves to know him.”
Sienna stood up. “Don’t ask me that.”
Jenny looked directly at her. “If you are my best friend you will find him. You will tell him about Adriana.”
‘Damn her’, Sienna thought to herself before agreeing. “I promise, but..”
Jenny shook her head. “No buts. Get a hold of Orlando. My lawyer will help.”
She stopped talking, to try and catch her breath.
“And one more thing. Go see Troy. You know you want to.”
Sienna gave a small laugh and laid down next to her and put her arms around her.
“I love you JenJen.”
“Love.”
She stopped losing breath more quickly this time.
She looke up at Sienna. “Love you too. And Adi. Tell her. Make sure she knows.”
“I will.”
“Thank you.”
And that was the last thing Sienna Williams best friend Jenny Mattis said. She wiped the tears out of her eyes and held onto Jenny a little longer. She sighed. As that best friend she would find Adriana’s dad. She would contact Orlando Bloom. Even if it killed her to.
