....What do I do?? Is there any way to get it off?

What kind of pen? Try Goof-off, you can get it at Lowes or Home Depot.

What color is the couch, I hope it's not a light color. Maybe hairspray? Try it in a place that is not obvious. Or what about rubbing alcohol? Maybe someone else can give better suggestions, good luck and let me know because I have leather too.

It's a black pen. Thanks for the suggestion. I was kinda hoping to be able to get it off tonight. I would run out and get that stuff right now but my kids are in bed. My husband's not gonna be too happy when he gets home.

The hairspray would be my other suggestion if your in a hurry.

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually the rubbing alcohol did work!!!!
My husband just pulled up too and I hurried and put the stuff away so he wouldnt see. ILNC, my couches are a tan color and I thought the rubbing alcohol might discolor them but it didn't. The one thing it did kinda make the leather look not as shiny you know?? Don't use a magic eraser though. I tried that and it kinda discolored it a bit when I rubbed really hard. Anyways thanks!!! I'm so relieved. I was freaking out!

Try Goo Be Gone. You can find it at any good hardware store. It has a citrus base, which is good for anything. Good Luck

Might put the shine back into the leather too. Do a lil restoring.

I'm glad it's gone, you'll sleep better tonight
My leather is dark green by the way
