Chapter 25
For Who I am
The sun shone through the pink curtains. A girl grilled at them. She hated them. They were glittery, and had flowers all over them, it was the opposite of what she liked. Obviously once she was friends with Melanie, a couple of things had to change. She hated that girl with a passion. But her mother's stupid boss was Melanie's mother. She had to be nice.
"Hannah!" called her mother. She was quickly brushing her teeth, as she pulled up her black socks. She nearly fell into the bath-tub. "What?" groaned Hannah. "I'm leaving for work, you need to wake up!" shouted back her mother. Hannah sleepily walked over to her closet. She pulled out a black skirt, that stopped just over her bottom, and a low purple top. Her phone beeped in the silence of the room. She quickly answered it. "Morning girlfriend. Nothing purple today. Melanie's colour." it said. Hannah groaned at the screen. Stupid Paige, with her texts in the morning. She quickly changed into a green top.
Hannah quietly sat eating cereal, as her mother ran around looking for paper work. Hannah stared at the straightners, she has to straighten her hair otherwise she'll get an earful of Melanie's squawking. The stupid straightners weren't even warm yet. "I'm sorry love, but that stupid bitch is my boss. I need the money." pleaded her mother. Hannah nodded her head quietly. "But I'll look for something better later, and if there is something, I'll quit." said her mother, as she received a kiss from her. "I'll see you later." she called from the door. Hannah sighed, and began straightening her hair.
"Hey, girlfriend." called Chloe. Paige was buffing her nails yet again. They were sitting at a table in the Ice-cream parlour. "Hey." smiled Hannah politely. She could have relaxed today.. But no. "Where's Mel?" asked Hannah, while she sat beside Chloe. Better than sitting beside Paige. They were both drinking lattes. "She's away to see Michael. She'll be back soon." replied Paige bored. "Want some coffee?" asked Chloe. Hannah nodded, and Chloe shouted the waitress over.
They sat drinking their beverages for an hour, and talking about gossip until Melanie walked in. A few girls ran out quickly, before Melanie could even look at them. "Hey bestos." called Melanie. Hannah and Paige cringed, as Chloe hugged Melanie. "What's everyone doing today?" Melanie asked, while flicking her hair out of her face. She sat down on the green and orange seat, like a Queen. Chloe sat down quickly beside her. "Nothing much, was thinking of getting that yellow purse I saw in the Mall today." replied Paige. "Please. That purse is so last year. My Grandma has it! Yuck! Get that turquoise one, it suits you way better." commanded Melanie. Paige crossed her arms. "But it's like two thousand dollars or something." she replied. "I'll lend you the money if you want." grinned Melanie. She placed one thousand bucks on the table. "Just get the rest from your mum. She'll totally understand. Tell her Melanie told you to get it." smiled Melanie. Hannah rolled her eyes quickly. Chloe turned somewhat sour, as she stared at Paige, wishing she brought up the orange purse she saw in the Mall yesterday. Paige on the other hand, gladly took the money. "I'll pay you back as soon as." she replied. She hugged Melanie quickly, and sat back down again. The door banged opened and Crystal, Ai's best friend walked in with her little brother. "C'mon guys lets go to the Mall. This café is so lame." stated Melanie, as she stood up. Chloe and Paige nodded, while Hannah flicked her hair out of eyes. They walked out the café as if the ground turned into malted lava, however Crystal laughed at how they walked.
The sound of crowds of people zoomed around the place, like bees in a hive. People chatting, eating in the food court, children screaming for the new toys, parents almost crying with frustration. "C'mon girls, lets buy everything." smiled Melanie. Hannah slumped behind them, as they headed for a girlie store. She hated anything to do with girlie things, lip-gloss, high-heel shoes, and dare she think it….Frocks and flashy dresses. Hannah gulped, as Melanie picked out the dresses she had to wear.
"This one. And this one… … and this one. Definitely not that one, it'll clash with mine." commanded Melanie, while she pulled out dresses, and piled them onto Hannah's arms. All of them were strapless or were too short at the legs. Chloe pushed Hannah into a changing room, and the real fun began.
"Can you believe they don't sell Julianna handbags here. Now I need to order online." demanded Melanie. "I know, it's a shame." replied Chloe. Paige and Hannah hurriedly nodded their heads. "And that cheap perfume." gagged Melanie. Chloe nodded her head. "Was ghastly." she said. Melanie stared down at her coffee. "Wanna play dares." suggested Paige, while feeling the atmosphere changing to a boring one. "That will be awesome." smiled Melanie. Hannah sighed softly. "What is the matter?" asked Melanie. "I'm just not in the mood for dares." she replied quickly. "Well, tuff. C'mon it'll be fun." said Melanie sweetly, while batting her eyelashes. Paige, and Chloe joined in and nodded their heads in agreement. "Fine… But nothing too dodgy." replied Hannah. Melanie blew a kiss towards her, as Chloe gave her a small hug. "Okay.. I'll go first.. Paige I dare you to shout you're a slut." commanded Melanie. Paige shrugged her shoulders, and screamed from the top of her voice, she was a slut. "Okay, Chloe your turn… I dare you to… walk up to that couple, and make it out like you were dating that boy too." commanded Melanie, with a small smile. "Do I have to?.. He's not hot." replied Chloe. Melanie gave her a look, that meant trouble. She stood up quickly and ran over to the couple. After a few minutes, the girl ran away crying, the boy chasing after her, and Chloe laughing. Melanie was laughing alongside her. "Oh-my-God, that was wicked." giggled Melanie. "Did you see her face." laughed Paige. Hannah didn't laugh. "Well, since you're all gloom and doom, I dare you to.. Steal an item from that shop." said Melanie. She pointed to an expensive perfume shop. "I said nothing dodgy." commanded Hannah. "That isn't dodgy." snapped Melanie. Hannah backed down, and stared at the perfume shop. Paige pushed Hannah from her chair. She gulped as her feet guided her to the shop. She didn't want to go inside, but somehow her feet wouldn't stop.
Hannah gulped. She stared around the place searching for an object small enough to fit up her shirt. The Shop's Assistant's eyebrows went up and down, as she stared at Hannah. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Yes. Just looking." Hannah nervously smiled. The Shop's Assistant nodded her head, and strolled over to another customer. Hannah quickly grabbed a small light blue bottle, and stuffed it up her top. She hurriedly walked out of the shop casually. She got near to the door, when the alarm went off. Hannah felt like crying. But luckily for her, another costumer was at the other door. The security guard looked in the brown paper bag.
"I can't believe you actually did it." laughed Paige, while giving Hannah a hug. Hannah took in some air. "It was nerve racking." replied Hannah, as she smiled. "Well done. You actually pulled it off. But what kind did you get?" asked Melanie. Her face looked like she had sucked a sour lemon. "Em.. It's the new Sapphire one." replied Hannah. "OMG! Really?.. I love that one." proclaimed Chloe. She snatched the bottle from Hannah's hands, and opened the lid. The sweet smell of Plumeria filled the air. Hannah took the perfume off of her. "I'm thinking of giving it to my mum." she replied. "Sorry." snapped Chloe. "C'mon let's-…" began Paige, when Melanie suddenly screamed. The whole car-park stopped and turned towards Melanie. "THOSE ASSHOLES!" shouted Melanie. "What?" asked Chloe. "That bitch, Kanki is having a party with Wally!" said a furious Melanie. "What?.. We always get invited to parties.. It's law!" demanded Chloe. "Let's just party crash." suggested Paige. Melanie stumped her feet away from the Mall. "I know the perfect dress." smiled Chloe, as she applied lip-gloss. "I have something to do.. I'll see you later." said Hannah. She quickly walked away before Melanie could stop her. But that didn't stop her from texting her.
The wind softly whistled through the air. The sun was still high up in the sky. A pair of legs swung themselves to make the swing move with the wind. Hannah huffed as she began to go back and forth on the wing. She felt like crying. She couldn't handle this anymore. Melanie and her mind games. She hated feeling dirty and sleazy. But the most hated thing was the guilt, it was eating her alive. Tears fell from her eyes. A few kids began to leave the park to get home for dinner. Some of them stared at her, as they left. Cars and vans drove by near the park, life was still in motion, nothing changed for them. Hannah placed her head in her lap. She felt ashamed, she didn't know what to tell her mother. She felt so alone.
"Are you alright?" asked a voice. Hannah jumped, and looked up towards the voice. A handsome boy, with lightly tanned skin. He had dark black hair, that had light blonde tips, and bright blue eyes. He had on a sleeveless white top, and ripped denim jeans. His muscular chest poked through his shirt. Hannah blushed slightly. "Yeah.. Just over-reacting." she replied through sniffs. "Aw.. What's up?" he asked, as he took a seat beside her. She stared at him with big eyes. "Well.. It's just I'm forced to be friends with someone because their mum is the boss of my mum." Hannah held her hands close to her lap. The boy smiled. "Well, you know the real solution is.. Tell her to fuck off. And if she threatens you with your mum losing her job, well she's quite pathetic." he said. Hannah smiled softly at him, but tears fell down her face. "I'm sorry." she cried. She wiped the tears away quickly. "It's okay.. It's not your fault. Some bitch has just gave you a hard time." he said, while wiping a tear away from her eye. He gazed into her eyes. She blushed, while trying to turn away from his face. He however brought his face back to his. "You'll be okay. I promise you." the boy said. He kissed her softly on her cheek. "No girl should cry, for any reasons. It's heartbreaking to see the pain and sadness." he stated. Hannah was speechless. No boy had kissed her like that, or made her blush like that… ever… "So, do you have a beautiful name to go with your face." He slightly blushed in the cheeks. He has never seen a more beautiful creature like her on the Earth that he roams. "Hannah." she whispered. He smiled. "I'm Jayden. Jayden Miles, I've just moved here from New York." he replied. Hannah began to shake his hand, when he pulled it to his lips, and kissed it softly. "I'm sorry for being completely weird around… But I can't help it.. I'm drawn to you." Jayden proclaimed. She blushed. "I feel the exactly the same way." Hannah replied, somewhat excitedly. "This is quite weird." he chuckled. "Hey.. There's this party I'm going to.. My cousin was invited, so invited me, and he said I could bring someone along. Would you like to join me?" he asked, with hope in his eyes. "Sure." she giggled. "Here's my number. Call me, and tell me where to pick you up." he grinned, as he gave her his number. She smiled softly. "Okay." Things maybe turning around for her. As Jayden got up from the swing, Hannah's phone rang. "Where are ya? I need you to help me look sexy for ruining Kaki's party!" Melanie demanded. "Sorry babes. Not feeling to good, chat to you tomaz." she said, with a smirk. She turned off her phone, before Melanie could get in a word. "Was that the bitch?" asked Jayden. Hannah nodded. Jayden smiled. He waved as he jogged back to his house. She walked dreamily home.
"Another one bites the dust." sang a voice. The door banged closed, Hannah walked into the living room. "Why are you so happy? Did you get a raise?" asked Hannah, while smiling from ear to ear. "Nope.. Guess." sang her mother. "You…. Found a funny picture of Mel's mum to blackmail her with?" said a hopeful Hannah. "Nope.. Even better.. I quit my job!" laughed her mother. Hannah jumped up and down. "Oh my God! Really?!" screamed Hannah joyfully. "Yip.. But the problem is… I got a new job at one of those offices and it's requires me to travel to New York every one to two months." her mother replied. "Well, I'll be fine here. I got Grandma remember." smiled Hannah. Her mother nodded her head. "As long as you're going to be okay by yourself." said her mother gently. "Yeah, I'll be fine." giggled Hannah. "No wild parties while I'm gone." chuckled her mother, as she began to dance to the Queen songs on the radio. The song 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' was blazing out of it's speakers. "I doubt that." laughed Hannah. She ran out of the living room to her own room. She had look good for the party. Maybe things were going to get better now. Jayden was right. Somehow he knew, she would be okay.
Hannah's mobile beeped. She jumped and stared down at it. 'Will be there in 5' it said. Hannah blushed. Jayden was on his way. "Let me guess it's that boy you were telling me about." smiled her mother. She was busy eating her Steak. Hannah blushed. Her mother chuckled. "Well you look stunning. He'll be begging me to let you marry him." chuckled her mother. Hannah shook her head at her mother's remark. But she still held a smile. She had spent one hour getting ready for the party. Her hair now dyed red, and in a pony-tail. She was wearing a black top with diamonds on the chest, blue denim jeans, with small high heel shoes. She had no make-up on whatsoever. She felt normal, and of course herself. Her true self. The door bell rang, Jayden was of course standing there looking more gorgeous than earlier. He was wearing a low cut orange t-shirt, that showed some of his chest. Very muscularly chest, and grey shorts, and white sneakers. He looked sexy. She blushed as she gazed at his muscles. "Shall we go?" he asked politely. She shyly nodded her head, but before they could make it out the front door, Hannah's mother stopped them. "Wow!… You better keep this one.. He's a masterpiece. I want some gorgeous grandkids. He's passed the approval test." smiled Hannah's mother. Hannah blushed heavily, while pushing Jayden out the door.
"I'm sorry about my mother." she said apologetically. Jayden smiled. "It's okay." he laughed. "My mum is the same." He grabbed hold of her hand, as the ascended the stairs. "Who's house is this anyway?" asked a blushing Hannah. "It's a kid called Nigel Uno. And it's not in his house. Surprisingly it's his tree house." Jayden replied. Hannah gulped. Melanie will be making her surprise entry soon. A girl about the same age as Hannah stood at the entrance. She had long black hair, bright blue eyes and looked a lot like Kuki, as if she was her long-lost cousin. "Do you have an invite?" she asked, as she stared down at the list. "Shit.. I left it in my house. My cousin is in there." he said sadly. Suddenly out of nowhere a short teenaged girl, who had bright red hair appeared. She had bright blue eyes which resembled to the black haired girl, maybe they were related. "It's okay Sophie. They are allowed through." she said sweetly. She looked about thirteen. The girl Sophie nodded understandably. Hannah took in some air. The party had just began, for not so many people were there. She danced with Jayden to the music. It was all the pop songs recently released between ten years. A girl with lightly tanned skin, who had her brown hair in braids strolled by, she looked furious. "I can't believe they already broke it. And the party just started." she fumed. The girl took out a set of tools while walking out past the dance floor to another room. Jayden laughed. The girl's face looked incredibly funny. "Jayden?" asked Hannah, as she danced softly to the music. "What?" he replied. "Is it okay, if I take you somewhere special?" asked Hannah cautiously. Jayden nodded his head. She took hold of his hand and strolled out of the room.
The sky had now turned into a blanket of darkness. Stars glittered the sky. It truly looked magnificent. The night wind blew softly through Hannah's hair. She stared up at the sky, as she leaned on the fencing of the balcony. "This is just.. Wow." grinned Jayden. He was amazed at the bright stars in the sky. Hannah smiled. "It always makes me feel happy, because I know up there my dad is looking down on me." she said sadly. "I'm sorry to hear of your lost." Jayden replied. He took hold of her hand. "It's okay. He was fighting in the army, I was only six when he joined. When I was nearly seven he never came home. I knew he wouldn't come home, but in my heart my dad was always there. He will always be there." she said shakily. He brought her into a hug. She violently shook in his embrace. Tears dripped, as if it was raining. Jayden held her closer. "People we love will always be in our hearts. Their memory and love will never disappear. They will always be there." Jayden wiped the tears from her eyes. "Look.. He's right there." Jayden said softly. He pointed to the brightest star in the sky. "I just wish I could feel his embrace again." she whispered shakily. A small wind blew around her arms. Her spine felt tickles. The wind made quiet whistles, as if they were voices. Hannah grinned softly. She knew it was her father. "You're not alone. My grandpa just died a month ago. My mum couldn't handle it. She now has depression." he replied. Hannah sniffed. She has never felt this way before. Someone who knows how they feel. No one has ever liked her for who she was. Jayden was different from the rest. "I think I love you." said Hannah suddenly. She placed her hand over her mouth, for she accidentally said that out loud. Jayden smiled down at her. The stars were their witnesses, for the pair shared a romantic and heartfelt kiss.
Couples were dancing to the famous song 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. The music stopped suddenly. A disturbance had happened. "I see you can't take your hands off my man." said a voice. Melanie, Chloe, and Paige stood on the Dance floor near Kuki. All three of them were wearing the same dress, a sort of dark brown colour, except Melanie's showed more chest. All of their dresses stopped just over their butts.
"He's not your man anymore." grunted Ben underneath his breath. Kuki stood still not doing anything. "Actually he still is, until he gives back all of the stuff, that I've gave him.. He'll won't be able to say he's single." chuckled Melanie. "Leave, Now!" screamed Kuki, with angry tears in her eyes. Great her mascara would be running now. "I don't think so whore." laughed Paige, as Chloe high-fived her. "Don't call her a whore!" shouted Wally furiously. "Yeah, and who's gonna stop me!" laughed Paige. "Me!" shouted Kimi. She stood beside Kuki, and took her hand. Kuki smiled gratefully at the girl.
"Shut it bitch, and don't get involved!" said Chloe. Both Paige and Chloe took out two small pistols from their backs, and began spraying Kimi, and Kuki in a black liquid. "Fuck off bitch!" shouted Kimi, as she attacked the pair of them. "Keep your animal under control!" shouted Melanie, while trying to pull Kimi away. Kimi punched, kicked, and spat on Chloe and Paige. When she was finished, the pair of them were black and blue. "Call me a bitch, or Kuki a whore, I'll kill you with my own teeth!" screamed Kimi, as Charlie pulled her away. Melanie only laughed. "What an ugly girl.. She better get down to the surgery and get her nose fixed.. Sort of reminds me of yours." said Melanie, while chuckling. Kuki had enough of this shit. She clenched her fists up in a ball, and began to breath heavily. "Looks like she's gonna cry!" sniggered Paige. Her and Chloe stood up from the ground, slowly, and stood beside their fellow leader yet again. "Just fuck off!" shouted Wally, furiously. He grabbed hold of Melanie's hand, and pulled her to near the exit. But she then pulled his face to face hers and she kissed him.. Passionately. His eyes turned into big saucers. He stared down at the girl. Even though she was in high wedges, she was still smaller than him. "That's it!" bellowed Kuki, as she punched Melanie square go on her nose. She stumbled backwards, into Paige's arms. Blood was running down into her lip.
Hannah and Jayden slowly made their way down the stairs. No music was heard. "Is the party finished?" asked Hannah. "I don't think so." replied Jayden. They both walked into the room, to find Melanie lying in Paige's arms with blooding running down her nose. Hannah softly giggled. "Do you know her?" he whispered. "Yeah. She's the bitch who made me her personal slave." whispered Hannah. "Well.. I hope it really hurts." laughed Jayden. Hannah grabbed hold of his hand as they watched the drama unfold. "You fucking slut!" screamed Chloe. As Paige and her almost launched themselves at Kuki, a voice was heard from above. "Hey, Blondie! I think you should look in a mirror to find a Slut!" shouted Nellie, as Brandon and Lewis stood beside her. "You little shit-head, I'll fucking kill ya!" screamed Chloe. Just at that moment, five buckets of fish, water, dog food, and Soda mixed with some of the punch, fell on top of the girls. They all screamed, as the liquid.. Well mush touched their skins. All make-up was washed off, and mascara and eyeliner were smudged. Also their outfits weren't at all pretty as before. "Oops!" shouted Nellie, as she laughed. All three of them ran of the little floor above, and climbed down to the dance floor. Everyone laughed at the girls standing before them, but Hannah laughed the loudest. "I'm gonna get that fucking kid!" screamed Melanie. She made her way through the dance floor, until tall and large Body-guards came and took them by their arms. "Let go of me!" screamed Melanie. They all carried them near the exit. "That's it! Wallabee Beatles, you're off the Boxing Team! I'm telling my Dad not to let you play!" bellowed Melanie. As she was almost out of the door, she noticed Hannah's dramatic change. Hannah looked like an average teenage girl. She looked normal.. "Hannah! What are you doing!" shouted Melanie, as she held onto the doorframe, while making the guard stop moving. "I'm here to party." said Hannah, smiling. "Yeah, I get that, but why are you here.. Like that!" said Melanie. "Cause, I'm sick of being a prostitute. It wasn't really me. Thank Fuck my mum quit your mum's Beauty Product company!" laughed Hannah. Jayden had now return from the Snack table. He took hold of Hannah's hand and smiled down at her. She smiled as she blushed. They both went closer to the speakers, so they could hear the music. They began dancing, as the wicked witch and her stupid monkeys left the party. Hannah placed her arms around Jayden's neck. She kissed him softly on the lips. "Thanks." whispered Hannah. Her voice spread chills up his spine. "For what?" he asked. "For liking me for who I am." she smiled brightly. A tear rolled down her eye. Jayden smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
A star in the darkened sky twinkled brightly. His baby girl was finally happy.
SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS IN AGES! Oh my God! Did anyone of you realised the last time I updated Can I love you again?.. Well when I uploaded the last chapter… It's nearly an year, for I updated it last year on Christmas Day! That's how long ago I've finished the story. Quite sad, for another year will pass by and this story will be finished, and it's just really upsetting for I will get older and I don't want to get older. This has been one of the longest chapters I've ever done in this story. But it was paid off, for all of my reviewers will review.. Won't you.. Anyway I've realised that Seasons come and go, things change and so do people, like a certain person who hasn't been on MSN in like a year, and hasn't reviewed my stories or has even spoken to me. Justin.. If you're reading this.. If I've ever done something stupid I'm sorry.. But I don't know why you're not talking to me.. Unless I'm not welcomed in your life. I was thinking of meeting you, over in California, since we've known each other for two years and soon it will be three. I wish I can talk to you. Fiona 2 is missing Justin 2 desperately, and I miss chatting to my buddy.. I miss the funny long conversations that always ended with little smiley faces, and using her imagination. Things just change and I hate it. It feels like my heart disappeared along with you. Things haven't been the same since you disappeared.
Anyway Jelly beans are awesome! And for Christmas I hope Santa gets me Red Vines! I haven't tried them yet!
