AN: Hi, I've been working on this story for about two or three months now. I wanted to wait for summer break until I posted it and for me it's starting next week so I thought it was a good time. I think some of you noticed that I had deleted some of my other stories from fanfiction (The Blues, Just a Kid). I'm sorry because I know a lot of you guys liked them, but I didn't anymore... I feel like my writing has improved since I first started posting stories here so I felt like those stories weren't really me anymore. If any of you guys really liked them and want to continue them, write a story based on them or just read them again, send me a PM and I'll sen you the all of the chapters! However, I did try to incorporate a lot of my old stories in this one. Hanna and Toby are siblings like in ''The Blues'' and they're parents are dead (their last name is Cavanaugh). Hanna's younger sister, Rosie, is based off Hanna in my story ''Just a Kid'' and this story also happens to be a little Glee crossover (mostly PLL). The big difference is that this is a Hannily story and not a Haleb one. The couples are Hannily, Ezria, Spoby and for the Glee characters it's Brittana, Finchel, Klaine, Mike and Tina (Asian Fusion) and some of the others are in off and on relationships. I will do a AN to describe all of the Glee people since you might not all watch the show.
I do not own PLL, but I own Noah & Rosie LOL
If you want to get to know them...
Noah Henry Cavanaugh: Noah is Hanna's twelve (almost thirteen) years old brother. He has blond curly hair that stops just over his shoulders (picture surfer hair), blue eyes and big ''geek glasses''. Noah is a really special kid. He is sensible, kind, shy, extremely extremely smart and polite. He has a passion for music, editing, skateboards and he works in an animal clinic (like Scott from Teen Wolf). He's that one kid that's just good at everything he tries and even tough he hates sport, he's good at it. He will befriend Mike (Aria's brother) even tough he's a year and a half older and a girl in his grade named Lexie.
Rosie Nevaeh Cavanaugh: Rosie is Hanna's four years old sister. She has curly blond hair, big blue eyes and she's a little small for her age. She used to be a kid full of energy and outgoing, but now she's going through a lot and has become more isolated and depressed. She has little mood-swings (one second she's happy and the next she gets all quiet and just wants to cuddle and cry), she has separation anxiety disorder and is really anxious in general. She's pretty smart and lovable. Rosie has a passion for music, she likes the colour pink and loves with all of her little heart her older siblings. For now she doesn't really have any friends (except like Sam's little sister (Glee) I'm pretty sure her name is originally Stacey but I changed it to Mia) and she will become friend with a little boy that may or may not be Ezra's son, Malcolm XD.
Today is the first day of my new life… Our new life. Let's just say the last months weren't easy for my brothers, my sister and I. Exactly four months ago, my parents died in a car crash. We were all in the car, but we survived and they didn't. Toby, my eighteen years old brother, and I now have to take care of not only ourselves but also Noah, our twelve years old brother, and Rosie, our four years old sister.
We decided, together as a family, to start over somewhere else. We packed our bags and left Lima, Ohio for this small town in Pennsylvania, Rosewood. We rented an apartment, but if we wanted to save the money that we inhered for college, we could only afford a small one.
It wasn't the ideal place but it was suitable. Toby and I managed to built a room in a closet for Noah, who was a big fan of Harry Potter, so it worked. Being a four years old that was still in her formative years, Rosie got the only real room of the apartment and Toby took the couch, while I slept on a bed that was in the corner of the living room and kitchen area. Deep down, we all knew that it didn't matter who slept where, we always end up in the same bed anyway.
I'm not going to lie, it's been really hard. We all had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to stay together. Toby graduated early, since he had enough credits, but he's putting off college until we get settle and he found a full-time job in construction for now. I found a part-time job in a little boutique called Bijoux and had to say goodbye to my teenage years, since I now have to be a role model to two younger siblings that needs me now more than ever. My little brother, Noah, had to grow-up more in the last months than any kids should have to at the tender age of twelve, and got himself a little job at an animal clinic with an old and amazing veterinarian. On the other hand, Rosie didn't have to get a job, but she developed some form of very bad separation anxiety or anxiety in general which was making everything harder.
''Noah, do you want me to walk you to school?'' I asked my younger brother ''Noah!'' I raised my voice.
''Sorry, what?'' he apologized while taking off his headphones.
''I asked you if you wanted me to walk you to school''.
He adjusted his glasses and smiled ''thanks but I'm going to ride on my board''. Noah was a geek trapped in a jock's body. I have to admit that for a twelve years old, he was extremely good-looking. He had ocean blue eyes, long curly dirty-blonde hair that stopped just above his shoulders, he was tall and he had an athletic figure. His big glasses, were the only thing that reflected his inside geekiness.
''Okay, be careful'' I warned him.
Noah nodded, hugged me and gave Rosie a big sloppy kiss on each cheeks.
''Remember, if there's anything wrong, text me'' I said.
''Han, don't worry I'll be fine'' he smiled, revealing the big dimples that seemed to run in the family.
''One last thing'' I called out before he left ''I'm proud of you''.
He shyly nodded, put his beanie on then left.
''Where's Nowy going?'' Rosie wondered, using her special nickname for Noah.
I effortlessly picked her up in my arms and sat her down on the kitchen counter ''Noah is going to school'' I gently explained.
''Is Nowy leaving, is he coming back?'' she immediately began to cry.
''Don't cry Ro'' I cooed ''Noah will come back''.
''When?'' she sobbed.
''He's going to be here when I pick you up from pre-school'' I sweetly answered. The same scenario had happened when Toby left for work this morning.
''I don't wanna go to pre-school'' she whimpered ''I wanna stay with you''.
''Rosie, I know you do but you need to go'' I soothed her.
''I don't want you to leave me'' my baby sister sobbed.
''What if we make a deal?'' I proposed ''you go to pre-school until lunch time, then I pick you up and we have a lunch date just the two of us''.
''Okay'' she reluctantly agreed.
I gave her a small smile and whipped her tears. Mom and dad always say… said… that Rosie looked exactly like I did when I was her age. I'm just beginning to see it now, we have the same eyes, same hair, same smile, same dimples… She's my carbon copy. The only difference between the two of us is that her hair are a little shorter and curlier than mine.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when my phone beeped indicating that I had received a text. It was from my friend Santana, she had taken a picture of her and a few of my old friends and captured it with the message 'good luck on your first day babe, we luv you xox! Btw, you better call me 2night and don't forget to take your meds ;) We don't want you all hyper for your first day!' The hardest part about moving and starting new was without a doubt leaving my friends from glee club. I was thankful that she reminded me to take my ADD meds… I usually have it under control, but whenever I'm too stressed or anxious about something it gets out of hands. I can't stop daydreaming, it takes me forever to process stuff and I have those weird sugar-rushes that last for hours, it's really annoying.
I quickly ran to the bathroom opened the medicine cabinet, took out a little bottle of prescription and swallowed a pill before running back in the living room to Rosie. If we didn't hurry we were gonna be late and that doesn't look too good for a first day.
''Do you need to use the potty before we leave?'' I asked her.
She shook her head and reached out for me. Then, we left the apartment hand in hand, and began our walk towards the pre-school. I have my driver's license, but since the car accident… I've just been too afraid to drive. All of us are, Toby says he's good but I can see his hands shaking whenever he leaves for work in his truck, Noah ride on his skateboard everywhere and refuses to go near a car and Rosie begins to panic whenever she's too close to a road.
When we finally arrived to Rosie's pre-school, I could see my high-school to it's left. ''Do you see the big yellow buses over there'' I pointed towards them.
''Da school bus'' she corrected me.
''Yeah, the school buses'' I smiled ''they're in-front of my school, your school is right next to mine''.
''We close'' she happily understood.
''Yes we are''.
''Where Nowy's school?'' she wondered ''is Nowy all alone?''
''No'' I quickly reassured her ''Noah's school is just over there'' I pointed to the middle-school who was in-front of her pre-school. Before the car accident, Noah was passing some test to skip a grade because he's so smart. If he would've had the chance to finish, he would probably be a freshman at twelve, almost thirteen years old. ''Hey Rose, Noah's birthday is coming up, while your in pre-school maybe you could make him something'' I suggested, since I know she's going to get anxious really fast when I leave.
''Yeah'' she smiled ''I make him a pwesent''.
''I'm sure he's going to love it'' I gave her a big hug and reminded her to use to potty if she needed, then I left to school.
Let's do this I thought as I opened the front-doors. So fare, it seemed like a normal school, maybe a little old but still nice. The long hallways were full of lockers and the walls had a beige theme going on. Everybody began to stare at me as I made my way towards the guidance councillor's office, wherever that was…
''Are you new?'' a girl with tanned skin and long brown hair asked me. Wow I thought this has to be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
''Sorry, w-what?'' I nervously stuttered after realizing that I've just been staring at her this whole time.
''I asked if you were new'' she smiled.
''Hum… yeah I-I guess I am… hum new'' I rambled. Jeez Hanna get your words together! I mentally yelled to myself.
''I'm Emily'' she introduced herself. She had the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes I've ever seen. She looks a little like my friend Santana…
''I'm Hanna'' I awkwardly smiled.
''Do you need help with anything?'' she politely asked.
''Hum… do you happen to know if I have to go to the guidance councillor office to receive my schedule?'' I wondered.
''No, you just need to go to the secretary's office'' she smiled ''follow me'' Emily added, noticing that I had no idea where that was.
I did as she told me and received my schedule.
''Hey, we have like three classes together'' Emily gasped. Emily that was such a pretty name… Simple, yet formal. I heard that name once before, but I can't remember when or where…
''Please, tell me the first one happens to be one of them'' I laughed.
''Yes'' she smiled ''english with Mr. Fitz, my two best-friends are in his class as well''.
''Sweet'' I grinned ''thanks for showing me where to go''.
''Oh, it was nothing'' she argued.
''No seriously'' I took her hand ''without you I would still be looking for the councillor's office''. We locked eyes for a second but I awkwardly looked away when I realized that I was still holding her hand. ''Hum…. m-maybe we should g-go'' I stuttered.
''Yeah, come on'' Emily smiled.
''Emily!'' a voice called out.
''Wait for us!'' another one added.
I turned around and two girls, one was short and one was tall, walking in our direction. The short one had an amazing fashion style, honestly wow I thought. The other one… not so much, but she rocked that nerdy-look really well and it suited her perfectly. Both of them had a full coffee mug in their left hand. If I ever try coffee I would probably jump off the roof or transform in some sort of hyper puppy.
''Hanna, those are my best-friends'' Emily giggled ''guys, that's Hanna, she's new here''.
''I'm Spencer'' the tall one shook my hand.
''And I'm Aria'' the short one added.
''Hanna, nice to meet you'' I smiled as we entered Mr. Fitz's classroom.
''Not to be indiscreet, but where did you move from?'' Spencer asked me.
''Hum… just a little town in Ohio'' I vaguely answered. Toby, Noah, Rosie and I, we wanted to start fresh here, of course we didn't want to forget everything about Lima and our parents, but we needed new. Just new.
Spencer seemed to be content with my answer and didn't ask anymore questions.
''Ezra'' I whispered as the teacher entered the classroom.
''What?'' Aria asked me.
''Oh n-nothing'' I stuttered ''I just… hum… he's my neighbour''.
''Mr. Fitz?'' she made sure she understood.
I nodded and smiled as he waved at me. I met him this weekend when we were moving-in. Rosie had some trouble carrying her boxes up in our apartment and he offered to help all of us. Ezra quickly noticed that we were living by ourselves, but he didn't ask any questions. However, after he bonded super well with Toby, my brother explained to him our situation and he offered to keep an eye on Noah and Rosie anytime we needed. I knew that he was a teacher here, but it never crossed my mind that he could be my teacher.
''Okay guys settle down'' he said after the bell rung ''we have a new student today, so please welcome her with open arms''.
Everyone looked at me, some of the boys didn't really looked at me if you know what I mean…and few girls gave me intimidating looks while the rest of them only gave me kind smiles.
''Hanna, are you sitting with us for lunch?'' Emily asked me when the class was over.
I was about to accept when I remembered that I already had plans ''I would love to but I have a lunch-date with my little sister'' I explained.
''You have a little sister?'' Emily questioned.
''Yes, she's four years old'' I smiled.
''The best age'' she laughed.
I nodded but deep down, I felt my heart break a little. She was right, being a little kid was suppose to be the best time, not the time where you grief you parents.
''Hanna, are you okay?'' she questioned with a genuinely concerned look on her face.
''Y-yeah'' I stuttered ''I just need to go get her from the pre-school''.
''But there's still two periods left until lunch'' Emily confusedly replied.
''I know'' I simply said before leaving.
I didn't go to the pre-school, I went to the cemetery instead. The cemetery where my parents were buried. My vision was getting blurry from tears. As I approached my parents headstone I could see a figure in-front of it. I didn't need to ask myself any questions, I knew who it was. When I was next to the figure I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the head.
''I couldn't do it'' my little brother cried ''I went to school, I went to my first class, I tried to have fun but I couldn't do it''.
''I know'' I whispered ''we tried''. We sat down on the ground next to each other and silently cried together.
''They would be proud of you and Toby, you know?'' Noah told me with a shaky voice ''you guys sacrificed a lot for me and Rosie…I wish I could do more''.
I tearfully smiled, reached out for his hand and rubbed my thumb over a scar he got from the accident. ''They would be so proud of you too'' I replied ''you have a job, you help around the house, you're amazing with Rosie…'' I trailed off ''I don't know what you could do more''.
Noah nodded and buried his head in my neck ''why did it have to be them'' he sobbed ''why did they have to die, it's not fair''.
''I know'' I began to sob too.
We staid into each-others arms until we were all dried out of tears. I got up from the ground, whipped my tears and took a deep breath.
''What are you doing?'' Noah confusedly asked.
''It's about lunch time so I'm taking Rosie out to that little restaurant called The Brew, are you coming?'' I gave him a small smile.
He looked at the our parents's grave for a few seconds, nodded and also got up from the ground. ''Let's go'' he whipped off his tears.
AN: I hope you liked it and if you guys have any ideas please, please, please add them in your review :) I won't update until probably next weekend. Let me know what you thought!
