Hanna spent about 20 minutes trying to wash the revolting taste of vomit out of her mouth. Caleb was sat in her room, refusing to leave in case she does something silly again. Hanna stepped back in her room wearing sweats and no makeup. She smiled slightly at him as he looked at her. "I look terrible, I know. I'm not in the mood to put any makeup on."

"Good, because you're gorgeous with and without it." She shook her head smiling, hitting him on the arm playfully. "You're so cheesy." She said, sitting beside him as he pulled her into a warm embrace. She placed her head on his shoulder, feeling safe and secure.

"Are you going to tell me what else -A has done?" He asked, pulling away slightly so he could look her in the eyes. She turned her head, afraid of what danger he could be put in if she were to open her mouth. "Hanna... I don't care what -A has on me. Or what they can do to me. All I want is to know that you trust me enough to open up to me about these things. I want to help you, and I'm definitely not letting you suffer alone. You and I both know you can't do this on your own."

He was right. She couldn't do this alone. But her telling him could put their relationship into more danger than if she does the opposite.

"We thought Mona was -A... You knew that. But, she's not. Or maybe she was, I don't really know. All I know is that there is more than one -A. A lot of people have it out for us. Alison never told the truth. She thought the truth was too easy, and Alison liked a challenge. If she lied she could be whoever she wanted to. Go wherever she wanted, do whatever she wanted. She couldn't do that if everyone knew the truth. She-... We did something terrible last year..." She stopped herself as a tear rolled down her face. Caleb wiped it away quickly and pulled her closer to him.

"You can trust me." He assured her, looking deep into her gorgeous blue eyes.

"Jenna... We're the reason she's blind. Toby didn't start the fire. He helped her out of it. Alison threatened him, she had something against him... He took the blame and there was nothing he could do about it. Alison knew everything about everyone. She knew all of our secrets... Funny thing is: we knew none of hers. Anyway, Alison had convinced us all that Toby, Spencers boyfriend, had been... Looking at us whilst we were changing. She said she wanted revenge. She just told us it was an innocent prank. She threw a stink bomb in his garage... Or so we thought; it was actually a firecracker. Although it wasn't my idea, and I only witnessed it, not took part in it... I can't help thinking it was my fault. I can't help thinking I could have stopped it." By the time she finished her sentence she was full on crying. Caleb pulled her right against him and brushed her hair with his fingers.

"It certainly isn't your fault, Hanna. I know I don't have the words to make you feel better. But I do have the arms to hug you, the ears to listen and a heart. A heart that's aching to see you smiling again."

Hanna was completely speechless. Her friends could say anything, her Mom could give her anything, but no one could ever make her feel the way Caleb did. One sentence could change her entire mood. He made her happy and sad. He made her cry and laugh. He wasnt just her boyfriend, not her best friend, but a part of her. A part of her that she can't live without. He was as important to her as all the vital organs in her body. She needed him. She wanted him more than life itself. As she felt the sad tears subsiding, she felt happy tears forming. He was all she needed to be happy and they both knew it. Caleb took the silence as a cue to kiss her on the lips firmly and passionately.

The innocent kiss turned into a fiery make out. The fiery make out turned into subtraction of clothes, and passionate love was made on Hanna's bed. She couldn't feel more at ease with the world.

Hanna woke up in her loving boyfriends arms. The alarm went off, informing her it was time to get up. She lightly shook Caleb as he hadn't woken up. He groaned as he fluttered his eyes open. "Morning, gorgeous." He said sleepily.

She blushed slightly. "Morning sleepy head. Get up, it's time for school." She replied, letting her feet drop to the ground as she got out of bed. She made her way to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

She went back into her room to be greeted with a shirtless Caleb. She bit her lip as she admired his perfect body. He smirked as he could sense her behind him. "Didn't you have plenty of this yesterday?" He asked, turning around. "Not quite enough." She replied seductively. "But, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for tonight because I need to dry my hair and get dressed." She said, slipping a blue bra on with a designer halter top over it. She finished off her outfit with a pair of black jeans and some 4 inch Louis Vuitton heels. She blow dried her hair and put on her usual makeup. As she set down her mascara, Caleb had wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "gosh, you're so beautiful."
