A/N So, following the success I've had with the first 3 chapters of It's funny how things happen, I thought I would give something new a go. It is Waterloo Road based, but in real life, using the actors rather than characters. Hope you like
HANNAH JANE'S POV
It was Thursday night and I was settling down to my favourite show Waterloo Road. I've been following the show since it started, and I'm completely addicted. There are no words to describe how much I love Jason Done. I look at him and just think, WOW. I don't know what I would do if I ever were to meet him, I think I'd just hyperventilate and probably make a complete ass of myself. Meeting him is on my list of top 10 dreams. About an hour later, the episode finished. It was amazing, so tense and emotional. Tom's donating a kidney to Grantley. I know, right. What a guy. My phone started buzzing. It was Lucy. "Hey," I answered. I didn't really feel like going out, but it was Lucy. She'd get me out, no matter what. "Hey," she answered back. "Do you fancy going out? My dad's friend has got two invites to this really amazing club. It's just opened and I've been dying to try it out." She said, sounding rather excited. "Not really, Luce." I replied. It had been a hell of a week. I was knackered. "Aww, come on Han. For me," she pleaded. After about 5 minutes of bombardment, I gave in. "Ok," I sighed, instantly regretting it. Once you said yes to Lucy, there was no going back. "Yes! I'll be round to yours in an hour. Be dressed to pull," she shouted, which made me laugh. I went upstairs to get ready. I pulled out a black, strapless dress, with silver heels. I straightened my hair, and applied a thin layer of make-up. Not enough to look like I've just rubbed carrot on my face, but enough to make me look older. My doorbell rang. It was Lucy. I opened the door. "Bloody hell, Hannah!" she exclaimed. "You look amazing". I had to admit it, for once, I did look pretty good. "Hey, you don't look so bad yourself." I said. She was dressed in an emerald-green knee-high dress, with matching heels. We both looked dressed to kill. The taxi pulled up outside my house. She grabbed my arm. "Let's go," she squealed. About 20 minutes later, we pulled up outside the club. There was a massive queue of people waiting to get in, which worried me, because now we were here, a night out sounded fantastic. Lucy obviously could tell. "Don't worry," she reassured me, squeezing my arm. "We've got priority tickets. Look there's my dad's friend." I turned around to see who she was pointing at, and I nearly fainted. Her dad's friend was JASON DONE. My heart and stomach started doing backflips. I was frozen, in shock. Him, the man I had been dying to meet all these years, was there in the flesh and Lucy knew him. Why didn't she tell me? She called him over. Oh, no. What would I say? Would he think I was babbling and a complete moron? "Hey, Jase," she kissed him on the cheek and greeted him warmly. "Hey Luce," he smiled at her, flashing that smile I wished for him to flash at me. She introduced me. I was still in a state of shock. "Jase, this is my friend Hannah Jane" He smiled at me and my heart just melted. "H-H-Hi," I stammered, which made him smile. "Hi. I'm Jason," He shook my hand, and kissed me on the cheek. "I know who you are. You're Jason Done, Tom from Waterloo Road. I absolutely love your show." I stammered. Oh, no. I was babbling.
"Yes, I am, but for tonight, I'm just plain old regular Jason," he said. He was obviously used to the attention, because he was actor, but he was more gorgeous than I imagined. Definitely not going to go for someone like me then. We pushed to the front of the queue. "These 2 are with me," he said to the quite scary looking bouncer on the door. "Of course, sir. Come right in." Lucy looked at me and grinned. "I'm just going to the bar. Want a drink?" Jason asked. "Yes, please. I'll have a Jagerbomb." I replied. He turned away to go to the bar. "I'LL HAVE THE SAME!" Lucy shouted after him. He put a thumb up behind his back. "Lucy, how could you not tell me you knew Jason bloody Done?" I asked, sounding exasperated.
"I don't know, it never really crossed me mind," she replied.
"You know one of the hottest men alive, and it never crossed your mind?" I couldn't believe it. She tells me everything, but still, I can cross one thing off my list. "Anyway" she said. "Lighten up. You never know what could happen," she said, with a wink. Jason returned with the drinks. "Here you go, ladies" he said, handing me mine. Suddenly, Can't Hold Us, by Macklemore came on. "I love this song. Come dance with me" Lucy shouted, above the music, grabbing my hand. I mouthed a sorry to Jason, and he nodded his head understandingly. Once I got up there, though, I couldn't stop myself from dancing. The tune was so catchy. I decided to take Lucy's advice and lighten up. I started to notice a pair of eyes on me. I looked around the room, and noticed Jason was starting at me. I thought it was nothing, and carried on dancing. 15 minutes later, I could feel the same pair of eyes on me. It was Jason. He was still staring at me. Why? I wondered. I felt flattered, of course. Who wouldn't, when you were being stared at by someone of his calibre? I pulled my self from Lucy, making my excuses, and went back to our table. "Hey" he smiled at me.
"Hey" I smiled back. I thought I'd just come right out and ask. "Is there a particular reason why you were staring at me?" I felt daft for asking. It could be nothing. "Well, I couldn't take my eyes off you" he admitted. "You were completely captivating me, and any other bloke could probably see why. You're beautiful, and one hell of a dancer." I suddenly felt really dizzy, like I needed some fresh air. I excused myself, and went outside. It was so hot in there. I leaned against the wall, taking in the cool night air. Jason came out about 10 minutes later, looking worried. "You ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine. It was just really hot in there and I needed some air" I said, reassuring him. I shivered, suddenly feeling cold. He took his coat off, and wrapped it round my shoulders. "Fancy a stroll?" he asked. Me, strolling in the moonlight with Jason Done. The stuff of dreams. "I'd love too." I replied. He offered me his arm, and I took it. I knew I would never forget this night. We strolled along the streets, talking about things. He was actually a really down to earth guy, so honest and humble. I was so attracted to him. He stopped by the river. "I'm going on the beach. If you want to join me, you can do," he said.
"Of course I'm going to join you. You're mad" I said, laughing. We ran down to the beach. It was midnight, and this was crazy, but there was something that was just pushing me to do it. We came to a stop. He turned to face me and put his hands on my waist. Oh, god. He was about to kiss me. My heart was thumping really loud, and I was sure he could hear it. He crushed his lips to mine, and the whole world just stopped.
