A/N Massive thank you to all my readers. I love you all, you amazing people.

HANNAHJANE'S POV

I woke up the next morning quite stiff. Lucy's couch was a killer. My face was still wet as I had cried myself to sleep. I wiped my face, and my phone buzzed. It was Jason ringing, again. I pressed reject. I already had 20 missed calls, and dozens of texts, every one full of apology. I had another message, this time telling me I had a voicemail. It was Jason of course. I pressed delete. I don't even want to lay eyes on him, let alone hear his voice. "Morning" Lucy said, pouring herself a cup of juice.

"Morning" I yawned. She looked at me. "What?" I asked, puzzled.

"What's he done Han?" she asked. I guess I did owe her an explanation, as she is my best friend, and the fact I turned up on her doorstep at just gone 1 in the morning, after sitting in the park crying for 5 hours.

"Well, he cheated on me. One of his ex-girlfriends came round, who I didn't even know was an ex, and I started to feel uncomfortable, so I went to the toilet. I don't know what happened while I was gone, but I came back down, they were kissing, so I walked out. Jason chased after me, saying he was sorry and he loved me, but I told him to fuck off." I replied, and I started crying again.

"It's ok Han. I tell you what if I see him, I'm gonna kick his arse" she said, making me chuckle as I pictured that scene. "I've got some ice cream in the fridge, we'll have a film day, yeah?" she asked.

"Yeah" I replied. This is why Lucy is my best friend. She always sticks by me. She got some Ben & Jerry's and Casino Royale. Daniel Craig half-naked, the perfect cure to forger about Jason bloody Done. We were about halfway through the film, when there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it" Lucy said. I heard her walk to the door and open it. "It's you" she said.

"Where is she?" I heard an all to familiar voice ask.

"Fuck off. She doesn't want to see you." Lucy replied.

"Why don't you fuck off? It's none of your business" Jason said back.

"No, I will not. And it is my fucking business when my best friend turns up at 1 in the morning asking if she can stay, her face full of tears, and it's my business when she tells me that the man she truly loves has cheated on her with an ex" Lucy said, raising her voice.

"She kissed me, for God's sake!" Jason shouted.

"But you didn't pull away, did you? You also neglected to tell her the fact that she was an ex!" Lucy shouted back.

"Let me fucking see her Lucy!" he shouted.

"What so you can break her heart again and hurt her more than you already have done? Not a fucking chance, so PISS OFF!" she roared at him. I guess he wasn't moving though. I appeared at the doorway.

"Lucy, let me talk to him" I said quietly.

"But Han..." she protested.

"Just... let me" I said.

"Ok" she said, holding her hands up. She turned to Jason. "If she comes back crying again, I really will kick your arse." Me and Jason went and sat on the steps outside.

"I'm so glad you let me talk to you. I've been going crazy. I need you Hannah. She kissed me. Please take me back." Jason pleaded.

"No. Jason. It's not that simple. It doesn't matter if she kissed you, you still responded, which classes as cheating, and that hurts Jason. You've hurt me really badly, and I'm not going to be able to forgive and forget that easily. Just go Jason. I don't really want you to be around me right now." I replied. Jason kissed me on the cheek, got up and walked away. Lucy put her arm around me and led me inside.

"It'll get better Han. I promise. I tell you what. Let's go out tonight, and just get legless." Lucy said.

"Well, I don't really want to-" I protested.

"Aw, come on. I promise it will be fun." Lucy pleaded. I sighed.

"Ok, ok. I'll go." I replied. She clapped her hands in glee. It was 2pm, which meant I had about 5 hours before we were going out. I put the rest of Casino Royale back on, and closed my eyes. The time seemed to passby, and I was soon being shook awake by Lucy. I sat up, and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. "What time is it?" I asked sleepily.

"6pm" Lucy replied. I had wasted 4 hours! I headed upstairs to use the shower. I turned it on, and felt the scalding water hit my skin. As I washed my hair, I quietly hummed along to Dear Darlin' by Olly Murs. I stepped out the shower feeling refreshed and a lot better. Showers are good places to think. I pulled on a sky blue dress that came down to my knees, with slightly darker heels to match. I sat down in the chair, and applied light makeup. Might as well make myself look half decent. Lucy was already ready when I came downstairs. She whistled. "Ready?" she asked, as the taxi pulled up.

"Yeah" I shrugged. We locked up, and got into the taxi. I was only really doing this for her benefit. If I had had my way, I'd be back at her flat with ice cream and Waterloo Road. We pulled up outside Tiger Tiger. Lucy paid the taxi driver and we walked into the club. The music was thumping. Lucy went straight to the dancefloor, and I made my way through the masses of snogging, drinking and dancing people to the bar area. I ordered myself 2 Jagerbombs to start with, and it was a downward spiral from there. I didn't move. I caught Lucy sometime later, snogging the face off some random guy, so I left her to it. I sat back at rhe bar, and was happily drinking a glass of vodka when some guy came over. "Awright darlin'. Can I get you a drink?" he asked, in a thick Cockney accent.

"I'm ok thank you" I declined, pointing to my vodka.

"1 drink won't hurt" he said, putting his hand on my arm.

"No really, I'm ok" I protested.

"But I really want to get you a drink. Pretty thing like you" he leered.

"You heard her mate. Back off" Jason was here. Great.

"What's it to you?" the guy asked.

"I'm defending a mate, alright?" Jason replied.

"From what exactly?" the guy spat.

"People like you" Jason spat back.

"You little sod" the guy said back, and punched Jason in his face. Jason recoiled, his lip bleeding, and his nose. I pulled him away and luckily, a guy appeared, obviously a mate of the Cockney guy.

"Are you ok?" Jason asked.

"I should be asking you the same thing" I replied. I hailed a taxi and we got in. We arrived at Jason's place so I could help patch him up. I sat him on the sofa, and got some tissue. The guy must have had a ring on, because the cut was huge. I wiped the blood away from his face. "There, that's better" I said. Jason took hold of my hand.

"Are you ok? he asked.

"I felt better after you stepped in. He just wouldn't take no for an answer. Thank you" I said. "I really should get back to Lucy's"

"It's too late now. Stay here. You'll be safe. I promise" Jason said.

"Oh, ok" I said. He reached out and put his hand on my face.

"I'm alway here Han" he said softly. Everything was just calling for me to kiss him. No, no, no, that was bad. Too late. I pressed my lips to his. I could feel him start to respond, deepening the kiss, then pulling away, both of us panting. I took his hand and led him up to his room, our room. We tumbled onto the bed, still kissing, starting to undress each other. "Are you sure?" Jason asked.

"I'm sure. I've missed you" I giggled, a bit drunk. Jason wasn't exactly sober either.

"I've missed you too" he said, kissing me again.

"I need you Jason. Make love to me" I said, breathlessly, and the night just turned into a haze of passion and sex. Is there any other way?
