A/N: Hey guys! So if you've been following my story Never Let You Go you're probably aware that I actually ended up starting to re-watch PLL from the beginning because of all the Spaleb, and as I've been re-watching I've had an idea or two for some one shots, a multi chap AND a couple of like 3 or 4 parters and now the show is on a two week break, I can finally start to write some of them! Now, I'm fairly certain this one in particular has already been done, but I'm hoping mine's a little different I think this is going to be one version of events because I suddenly had the realisation when re-watching the damn episode for like the millionth time that um...did Hanna actually invite Caleb!? So this is one version, and then I've got another idea for a one shot for another version! This is gonna be a quick three parter I think! I'm not entirely happy with this, I wrote this after being mostly focused on season 7 for NLYG and I feel like I lost the thread I had been working with but my Beta reader Emilie told me to go for it so here we are!

Hanna was walking down the hallway towards her next class, thinking about the previous night, she'd been thinking about it all day. They'd been at Emily's folding programmes for the fashion show, discussing what they'd seen at the graveyard. Hanna had tried to move the conversation on to a lighter topic by asking Aria if she had invited Ezra to the show, and it had quickly been turned around on her by asking if she'd invited Caleb. She knew she shouldn't have told the girls about the kiss. She….she didn't know what she felt. She missed Caleb but she hadn't been lying when she said she couldn't forget about the fact that he'd been using her. Her first time….her first time had been with Caleb and he'd been being paid by Jenna to hang around her.

She couldn't forget that easily but at the same time she missed Caleb and he'd been doing his best to make it up to her like he said he would. Checking on her, seeing if she was okay and then seeing him and his foster mom….it sounded stupid but she felt like Caleb needed her. He'd told her he'd always felt alone…until he met her and seeing how his foster mom treated him Hanna could see how he needed her. He'd told her he'd loved her and she hadn't been able to stop thinking about it because she loved him too. But he'd already slept with her when he finally decided to tell Jenna to back off. That's what Aria and Emily had overheard anyway and it had been after. She couldn't deny that she still had feelings for him, he kept popping up, was always there. She'd felt…felt like she'd been stabbed in the heart when she saw he was leaving without even saying goodbye, the thought of never seeing him again had nearly broken her heart a second time, but he had said goodbye in that letter...the one she never got and then he'd come all the way back to tell her so..to tell her he loved her.

Hanna shook her head. She couldn't trust him. She felt like she couldn't trust him and every time he got too close she remembered he was using her and she couldn't shake it but it was harder and harder to keep him away, especially when he refused to leave her alone and then when he put his arm around her on that stupid double date….it felt so right. So familiar. She'd wanted to lean in to it. She was just so conflicted. She'd kissed him because she….because she missed him and because he was being all sweet and kind and adorable and because the kiss on the forehead he'd given her? It wasn't enough. Because he'd come back for her when no-one ever had before.

Much as she tried to fight it he was making it up to her…winning her back. He just kept proving how much he cared. Spencer had made a comment about the girls all finally having other halves at the same time and she'd denied it. Denied having a boyfriend and Emily had said "Yeah you do. You just don't want to admit it" maybe she was right. Caleb had been doing boyfriendy things, the check ups for instance..Hanna had even commented on that herself, 'one fake date did not a relationship make' she'd said, hurting Caleb but getting no satisfaction from it. She hadn't meant to snap at him.

As soon as he'd come back she'd stopping avoiding him like she had been before, stopped avoiding even looking at him. She knew he'd only wanted to help Lucas with that double date to spend time with her because she'd wanted the excuse to spend time with Caleb too. She just found it so hard to give people second chances…call it Daddy issues. She just didn't want to be hurt again. She was always being hurt by people Caleb, her dad...

Hanna was completely lost in thought so she didn't notice the arm snaking out of a nearby classroom to grab her and she shrieked as she pulled in to the empty room and a hand placed over her mouth.

"Ow….you practically burst my eardrums" Caleb smirked. Hanna looked at him and then his hand pointedly, and he removed it.

"What did you expect? You can't just sneak up on people Caleb"

"I didn't sneak, I called your name before I grabbed you"

"No you didn't" Hanna said, but she wasn't entirely sure, she really hadn't been paying attention.

"Yes. I did" Caleb said with a certainty that had Hanna believing him. She fumbled about for an argument.

"Well….you can't just grab people who are lost in thought and trying to..to…to think things"

"Deep in thought about our kiss?" Caleb murmured as he leaned in close. Hanna looked from his eyes to his lips and back again but before he could kiss her she shoved him backwards.

"No! The kiss…the kiss the other night, it was a mistake. Okay. I shouldn't have done it I just….I was just confused and upset and I..I missed you and-" Caleb was smirking. He shouldn't be smirking. He shouldn't be looking pleased at all. Hanna frantically ran back through what she had said. Oh no. She opened her mouth to explain it away but Caleb spoke first.

"So you miss me huh?" Caleb grinned.

"No. I-"

"But you just said you did" he continued to grin.

"Yeah well I….I…I….." Caleb made a 'go on' motion and she glared. "Okay fine. I miss you, happy?" She snapped.

"No. Because I still don't have you back" he said seriously. Hanna stood in silence. "Look I know it's hard for you to trust people and you don't give out second chances easily. But I meant what I said Hanna I'm sorry and I love you" he said sincerely, gazing in to her eyes.

"I said I believe you"

"You said you believed I was sorry" Caleb pointed out, "Not that I love you" Well he had been paid to hang out with her in the first place...

"I don't know what you want me to say Caleb. I told you everything about me, painful things. Then you…we slept together and….I trusted you with so much-" he cut her off.

"Hanna please. I told Jenna right after that I was done. I'd been meaning to before because I realised I was falling for you I….I just didn't hurry it along because I was trying to protect you, find out what she wanted…give her false information. But after our night….I put an end to it. When we….I wasn't using you then, I…I loved you and I wanted to be with you and I was just taking her money so I could-"

"I get it Caleb. Okay. I do. But you should have told me if that's what you where doing, and not after. You shouldn't have just kept it to yourself, I had a right to know. How am I supposed to trust you?"

"I know, okay. You can trust me. I'm just…I'm not good at this stuff. I'm always alone, I'm not used to having to share my plans with other people. Please, please give me another chance. Let me prove to you that you can trust me…I'm trying Hanna, I really am" Caleb said earnestly, he wasn't quite begging. Not yet anyway.

Hanna studied him while she thought. He was telling the truth, she believed him. She knew she'd be miserable without him so maybe she should just give him a second chance…start fresh. With everything out in the open. He had been trying to protect her after all and he didn't actually give any information to Jenna so the others couldn't be mad. They kept asking her about him after all...they must want her to get back together with him, right? And why wasn't she really? Trust could be earned back, it was kind of a lame excuse. She just...she wanted to protect herself and maybe a small part of her wanted to make Caleb suffer a bit more, the way she'd suffered when she'd found out. Why is this so hard? I just...I don't do second chances. But maybe I should because Caleb...Caleb and I...

"You're not keeping anything else from me?" she said searchingly.

"No. I promise." Hanna nodded, mulling it over. Then she finally came to a decision.

"Fine. Okay. I'll give you another chance. Tonight. You can come to the fashion show as my date" Caleb blanched.

"Fashion show?"

"Yes. The dress code is fancy…think suit and tie" Hanna commanded.

"Hanna, a fashion show….fancy?" Caleb's words stumbled out.

"It can be our first date. There's going to be loads of other people there and if we don't tell anyone, keep it on the down low, then there won't be any pressure from anyone…friends…and whatever. One night, just for us….no-one else involved." Hanna frowned. She knew the girls where looking out for her and would be supportive of any decision she made but it would be nice to have one night with Caleb without the girls dissecting it or judging him or...interfering. She knew they meant well but...she just needed to deal with this without them hovering. Supportive as they where they'd be keeping an eye on Caleb to make sure he didn't hurt her again and she appreciated it but she could do without it for one evening. Just her…and Caleb….no-one else. Caleb was frowning.

"Hanna I don't know…I don't really do…fancy. Besides shouldn't our first date be more….romantic?" He murmured, getting closer to her. It probably should, it should probably be a real date, but she wanted to see how serious he was about making it up to her…winning her back.

"I thought you said you wanted another chance?" Hanna felt a stab of disappointment, she'd truly thought he meant what he'd said. But then..he was a good liar. Wasn't he? Dammit. This is why I don't give second chances there's all this...this...confusion and second guessing. it's just easier to cut the cord.

"I do, I just-" Hanna had enough. She shook her head.

"I knew you weren't serious" She mumbled and before Caleb could argue she laid down her terms. "If you really want a second chance, if you're serious about making it up to me. You'll be at the fashion show tonight. I'll leave a ticket at the door under your name, if you're not there….then I guess that's it" Hanna said, slipping out of Caleb's hold and turning her back to him.

"Hanna….Hanna wait!" Caleb called after her, trying to grab her, but she kept walking. She walked all the way out of the classroom and down the hall and she did a good job of pretending that nothing had happened while inside she was a roiling mess.
