After Caleb leaves her apartment, Hanna bursts into tears. She prefers him mad at her rather than telling him why she lied to him. She knows that they can work it out later.

/

Caleb gets into the make-up trailer early in the morning, he is in the first scene today. Olivia is already there. He greets everyone before taking seat and then the make-up artist starts working on his face.

Spencer gets in the trailer "Hey, Caleb!"

Caleb "Hi, Spence!"

Spencer approaches Olivia "Liv, here is your tea" she hands her a cup of tea as the hair stylist keeps curling Olivia's hair. Then she turns her gaze to the make-up artist who is working on Caleb's face "Emily and Toby are about to arrive, but start with Toby because Emily is in the second scene, so you have time to work on her as we shoot the first one" she turns her gaze to Caleb now "Your first change is at your dressing, please go to the set as soon as you get changed" then she looks at Olivia "Same for you, Liv. I'll be over the set, talking to Maggie if you need anything"

Caleb "Isn't Hanna over there?" he as asks, because he knows that Hanna is usually the one who talks to Maggie about the day schedule and then she goes over the dressing rooms to hurry everyone up to be in time.

Spencer "She hasn't come yet"

Caleb "That's weird. She has never been late before"

Spencer nods "I thought she might come with you, but obviously she's not here. Could you please give her a call? I'm kind of busy"

Caleb "Yeah, sure"

He takes his phone and calls Hanna. He's still mad at her, but of course he cares about her no matter what. But she doesn't answer her phone, and that really worries him.

/

Spencer is on set with Maggie when Hanna shows up over there. She approaches them.

Hanna "I'm so sorry for being late!" she apologizes to them

They look at her. Her hair is still wet and she looks really exhausted.

Spencer "Hey, Han! I was worried about you"

Maggie "Hi Hanna! It's okay, who hasn't been late at least once? Don't worry. Just go to see if Olivia, Caleb and Toby are getting changed we are almost ready to start the shooting" she says, looking at the crew as they finish setting stuff

Hanna "Sure" she says and starts walking away

Spencer goes with her "Are you okay? Did you oversleep?" she asks as they walk

Hanna "I wish it was that, at least I would have gotten some sleep"

Spencer "You had another sleepless night?"

Hanna nods "I fell asleep on the couch just an hour and half before my alarm woke me up. And I'm having a crappy day too… My hairdryer died, I dropped coffee all on my clothes, so I had to change into clean clothes again and then my car broke down, I had to take a cab to get here"

Spencer "Wow"

Hanna "Would you mind going to check if Caleb is ready? We had a fight last night and I'm not in the mood to talk to him right now. I'm gonna go to check on Liv and Toby"

Spencer nods "Sure… I was gonna check on Em at the make-up trailer, you can go there if you want and I can go to the dressings"

Hanna "Well, I had a fight with Emily too"

Spencer looks at her incredulously "Really? How did you do to have a fight with Em, Hanna? She's the kindest person" she says, half laughing because it really sounds ridiculous

Hanna "Forget what I just asked you. I'm going to the dressings as Maggie told me, this is my job, I can't let my personal issues mess my work"

Spencer "Whatever you want, Han. It's okay by me"

Hanna "I'm going to the dressing rooms" she smiles at her

Spencer "Fine, just make sure to sleep well tonight, or you will end up fighting with everyone here by the end of the week"

Hanna laughs "Shut up! Or I'll have my next fight with you, silly!" she jokes

/

Hanna stands in front of Caleb's dressing door after having sent Toby and Olivia to the set. She knocks on the door.

Caleb "I'll be on set in two minutes, Spence!" he yells through the door "Have you heard anything from Hanna? She didn't take any my calls"

Hanna "It's me, Caleb"

Caleb opens the door immediately when he hears her voice. He's shirtless because he is in the middle of getting changed.

Caleb "Hey, I was worried! You didn't answer your phone"

Hanna "Well, now that you mention it, I guess that I forgot my phone. I must have left it in my car. I just was in a rush to get here"

Caleb "Are you okay?"

Hanna nods.

Caleb "Can we talk? I don't like being like this with you"

Hanna "This is not the right time… you have to be on set in a few minutes"

Caleb "I know, I mean if we can meet after the shooting to talk, I want to work things out"

Hanna remains silent.

Caleb "Are you gonna do the same as last night? Aren't you gonna say a word?"

Hanna "I can't talk to you right now, I have to get back on the set. Make sure to be there in time" she says and then she walks away

/

After shooting the first scene of the day, Emily and Olivia start to shoot the second one and Spencer stays on set with Maggie. Caleb and Toby go back to their dressings and Hanna is in the hallway, waiting for Alison to arrive. And some minutes later, she shows up.

Alison "Hey partner" she greets Hanna happily

Hanna "What?"

Alison "We are partners now" she says smiling to her "You are Caleb's secret girlfriend and I'm Caleb's official girlfriend" she says, teasing her

Hanna "Fuck off, Alison! Why do you have to be so mean?"

Alison laughs "Where's your sense of humor? I was just joking"

Hanna "No, you weren't joking, you were trying to piss me off! But I don't give a fuck as long as you don't mess with Caleb again. How could you say to him that he was no one? Being famous doesn't mean that you are someone. Yeah, he maybe isn't a famous actor as you are yet, and he doesn't have as many fans as you do, but all those people who say that they love you, they don't even know you, and they don't know the bad person that you really are. Caleb is the only one who has tried to get along with you, he also tried to make you part of the group… he was so nice to you and you were such a bitch to him. But he is a kind person and at the end of the day, he has people who really love him and I'm sure he will go far in his career as an actor and he will have all those things that you already have and much more, because he is very talented but more important than that, he is a very good person. Stop using him to get the attention of the press"

Alison "Whatever… nice speech… I want a coffee" she says nonchalantly as she opens her dressing room's door

Hanna "You can go and get it yourself after getting changed" she says, faking a smile

Alison smiles back "Someone is pissed! It doesn't seem like you don't give a fuck about what I just said" she says as she gets in her dressing "Bring my coffee" she closes the door

Hanna rests her back on the wall and snorts. She knows that everything that Alison says is bullshit and that she says those things just to annoy her. She really wants to ignore her, but as much as she tries, she can't help but feel upset. She knows something for sure, Alison can wait for her coffee forever, because she's not bringing her a shit.

Hanna walks toward Caleb's dressing and stands in front of the door, pondering whether she should knock on the door or leave. She wants to get in and just cuddle with him on his couch as they would do if it weren't for their fight. But she knows that if she goes to him, he will want to talk about their issues and about why she lied to him. So, she turns around and heads to the set.

/

Afternoon.

Caleb just finished shooting one of his scenes with Toby and Luke and he walks to his dressing. He is not wrapped yet, he is in the last scene with Emily and Alison, so he has like two free hours until that scene. On his way to his dressing he bumps into Emily who is exiting her dressing.

Emily "Hey, I'm going to get some snacks. Wanna something?

Caleb shakes his head

Emily "Are you okay?" she notices that he is cheerless

Caleb "Hanna and I had a fight last night and I don't know what's wrong because she doesn't wanna talk"

Emily "Let me go get my snacks and then I'll stop by your dressing" she smiles at him

Caleb smiles slightly "I still don't get why you and Hanna had a fight. You two are soulmates. Food is always first with you two"

Emily smiles again and then she leaves.

/

Caleb is at his dressing when Emily knocks on his door.

Caleb "Come in, Em!"

Emily "Hey" she says and sits next to him on the couch "Wanna some?" she asks, handing him some snacks

Caleb "No, thanks"

Emily "So, how did it go your meeting with John and Alison yesterday?"

Caleb "Awful" he sighs "We are not denying the rumor about us dating for now"

Emily "Are you gonna feign a relationship? They can't make you do that. That's not what your contract says, there's a difference between managing your public image by telling you what to say to the press and making you feign a relationship. What does your agent think about that?"

Caleb "We are not gonna confirm anything, is not like we will pretend that we are dating. But we aren't gonna deny the rumor either. And I don't have an agent"

Emily "Why you don't have an agent? You should have someone representing you. You wouldn't have been in this situation if you had an agent when you signed the contract. How did you get an audition for the show if you don't have an agent?"

Caleb "Zack, one of my friends has an older sister who works as a costume designer in another show and she is a friend of the casting director. That's how I got an audition, she asked him to give me a chance. So, he let me audition and I got the part"

Emily "Well, I'm gonna talk to my agent, I think he would accept to represent you as well. He works with a lawyer and a community manager, they are such a good team. They got me really good contracts so far and also some ads to my social media"

Caleb "That would be awesome" he smiles at her

Emily "I'll talk to him and give him your phone number"

Caleb "Thank you so much, Em! You are the best"

Emily "You are welcome" she smiles back "So, that's why you and Hanna fought?"

Caleb shakes his head "No… well, kind of… It was a mix of things... she didn't like the news about Alison and me, but the fight was about something that happened at the party that was my fault and her lie about being at your place… she didn't even tell me why she lied to me. She didn't want to talk and that annoyed me even more, because how we are supposed to fix things between us if we don't talk? And I was interested in talking about the Alison thing more than anything because I know that she is really upset about that, and I don't want her to be sad"

Emily "Well… we had a talk yesterday and she told me some things… I'm not gonna tell you what she told me, but although she really drives me nuts sometimes, and despite our fight, I love her and I want to help you out.. So, don't push her to talk to you, fine? Even if she is sad, upset, or whatever, you just give her some time, give her some space, and then she will probably want to talk to you, or maybe not. She loves you, she didn't lie to you because she wouldn't wanted to spend time with you. She is dealing with too many things at the same time right now. Just be there for her, you don't need to talk about everything all the time. Sometimes all that someone needs is just a hug"

Caleb "I just thought that talking about all those things could make her feel better, I wanted her to open up to me"

Emily shakes her head "Let's suppose that she tells you how she feels about the rumor that you and Alison are dating… Could you fix that for her? I don't think so, because that's not up to you because you can't tell the truth to the press if John doesn't allow you before. Besides, you already know that she is not okay with that, what else do you want to hear from her? Just go and hug her, enjoy your time together and stop thinking about all the things that are going wrong"

Caleb "I haven't thought about it that way. You are right" he stands up from the couch

Emily "What are you doing?" she laughs "I didn't mean right now… she's working, this is not the moment"

Caleb "Right" he sits down again "I still don't get why you two fought"

Emily "Because she's an idiot, but I love her despite that" she smiles "Don't worry, it wasn't a big fight… I'm not mad at her, we are gonna be cool"

Caleb "I'm glad" he smiles at her

/

Spencer and Hanna are on set. The last take of a scene between Alison and Olivia is being shot and then there's only one scene more with the two of them and Caleb and Emily, in the same scenography because they are consecutive scenes.

Spencer "Do you need a ride? I could take you home on my way to Toby's" she whispers to Hanna, trying to be as quiet as possible to not interfere with the scene that is being shot

Hanna "Yes, please" she whispers back

Spencer "They are finishing the take, I'm gonna go get Caleb and Em here"

Hanna nods

A few minutes later the director yells "done" and Maggie approaches Hanna.

Maggie "Hey Han, could you please go get Emily and Caleb?"

Hanna "Spencer went get them. They should be here in any moment"

Maggie "Good… Are you okay? You have been really quiet today"

Hanna "Yeah, just a crappy day, but I'm okay" she smiles at her "Sorry again for being late this morning"

Maggie smiles "It's okay Hanna, you always get here earlier than you have to, and you are always doing more work than you should. Great idea about exchanging the order of those two scenes from tomorrow's shooting schedule, by the way. Good job!"

Hanna "Thank you"

Maggie goes to talk to the director and Alison approaches Hanna.

Alison "Where's our boyfriend?" she asks mockingly

Hanna "I'm not in the mood for your stupid comments, Alison"

Alison smiles at her "Yeah, I know… I still haven't got the coffee that I asked you this morning. But I understand, you are kind of grouchy today… maybe because you and Caleb fought"

Hanna "What?"

Alison "You know, you are always together and today you didn't even have lunch together. So, it's okay. I can be a sensitive and comprehensive person… don't worry about my coffee" she teases her

Hanna "Thank you Ali, Fuck off" she smiles back "And don't worry Caleb and I are okay"

Spencer gets to the set with Caleb and Emily.

Alison "He's really cute, we have a very good taste in men" she says, looking at Caleb

Hanna turns around and sees as Emily and Caleb approach Olivia who is sitting on the couch of the scenography.

Hanna "You should go there and rehearse the scene with them"

Alison nods "Yeah, I know what my job is… not like other people who can't even bring a simple cup of coffee in time" she says, and then she starts to walk toward the scenography

Hanna is so annoyed, Alison really drives her nuts. Spencer approaches her.

Spencer "Hey, Han! I don't know what she said to you, but just ignore her" she says at seeing the annoyance on Hanna's face

Hanna "Yeah, I know. It's just that I'm having a shitty day and everything that she says just pisses me off more than it would do in a regular day"

Spencer nods

Hanna "I just wanna get home… I need this day to end once and for all"

Caleb notices as well that Hanna is upset staring at her from where he is.

Caleb "What did you say to her, Alison?"

Alison "Don't blame me. She has been like that the entire day, maybe it's your fault, not mine. I was just making some conversation with her"

Emily "Yeah, I'm sure you were just trying to cheer her up" she says wryly

Caleb is about to go to check on Hanna but the director approaches them to begin.

/

Hanna is at the parking zone of the TV studios, waiting for Spencer next to her car when Emily and Caleb get over there too.

Emily "Now is the right time" she says looking at Hanna as they walk toward their cars

Caleb turns his gaze to Hanna as well and he smiles "Yeah… if she slaps my face, it will be your fault. Wish me luck"

Emily laughs "Come on, just go… see you tomorrow" she says, getting in her car

Caleb "See you… thank you for everything, Em" he says, smiling

Caleb approaches Hanna. She doesn't see him coming because she is standing giving her back to him.

Caleb "Hey" he says in order to not scare her as he wraps his arms around her waist

Hanna turns around and he can see her watery eyes and some tears running down her cheeks. She wraps her arms around his neck, hugging him. Caleb moves his arms up to her back, hugging her back. He holds her between his arms and he lets her cry, just like Emily told him.

Hanna pulls away from his embrace some minutes later "I'm so sorry Caleb, I didn't mean to lie to you" she says with a shaky voice

Caleb places his hands on each side of her head and wipes some of her tears with his thumbs "It's okay, baby" he places a kiss on her cheek "Why are you crying?"

Hanna "I don't know… I'm just having a terrible day"

Spencer shows up "Hey" she smiles

Caleb turns around and stands next to Hanna, facing Spencer and he smiles at her. Hanna wipes her last tears.

Spencer "Are you still coming with me, Han? Or are you going with Caleb?"

Hanna and Caleb look at each other.

Caleb "Whatever you want, Han"

Hanna "I'm going with Caleb" she says, still looking at him and smiling slightly, then she turns her gaze back to Spencer "Thanks Spence"

Spencer "You are welcome, see you tomorrow" she says and then she gets in her car

Caleb takes Hanna's hand as they start walking to his car "What happened to your car, Han?"

Hanna "It broke down this morning, it was one of the reasons why I was late"

Caleb "You freaked me out, you are never late and you didn't answer your phone"

They get to Caleb's car and he opens the door for Hanna but she doesn't get in, instead of that she wraps one of her arms around his neck, she places her other hand on his face and then she meets her lips with his, starting a soft kiss. Caleb wraps one of his arms on her lower back and he places his other hand on the back of her head as he kisses her back. He tilts his head to the side and opens his mouth as Hanna does the same and slides her tongue in his mouth, deepening the kiss. They make out for some minutes and then Hanna pulls away and stares at him, still in the embrace.

Caleb smiles at her and places a tender kiss on her forehead. Then she releases him form her grip to get in the car. He closes the door for her and then he gets in his car as well.

Caleb "So… what do you want to do? Should I take you home? Or would you like to come to my place?"

Hanna looks at him "Does your invitation to have dinner still stand? Do you still want to cook for me?"

Caleb smiles at her "Of course, beautiful" he says and starts the car

/

They arrive at Caleb's apartment. He closes the door and then he turns around, facing Hanna. He takes her purse and places it on the coffee table, then he takes her hand and he sits on the couch, pulling from their joined hands and making her sit on his lap.

Caleb "Are you okay?" he presses a kiss on her shoulder

Hanna nods "I just need some cuddles" she says, wrapping her arms around his neck

He makes himself more confortable by resting his back on the backrest and then he opens his legs, making Hanna sit on the couch between his legs with her legs extended above one of his legs to the side. She rests her head on his chest and closes her eyes as he wraps his arms around her, holding her tightly.

They stay just like that for minutes. Hanna feels really comfortable between his arms, she gets so relaxed and she is about to fall asleep when Caleb places a hand on her cheek and starts to stroke her gently with his thumb.

Caleb "Babe"

Hanna "Yeah?" she asks quietly

Caleb "I better start to cook now or we are gonna end up having breakfast instead of dinner" he says, running his fingers softly through her hair

Hanna lifts her head up to look at him "Thank you" she places a noisy kiss on his cheek

Caleb smiles "For what?"

Hanna "For just being here… I had a crappy day today and being apart from you was killing me"

Caleb takes her face between his hands, cupping her cheeks and he kisses her lips tenderly "I love you" he says, looking into her eyes "I really missed you today during my free time between scenes… please, tell me that tomorrow we are gonna be glued to each other all day as we used to be during the first part of the season's shootings"

Hanna smiles at him "I have a very busy day tomorrow, but of course I will love to be with you as much as possible"

Caleb "Are you gonna get in my dressing room without knocking at the door?"

Hanna nods "And I'm gonna kiss you so hard" she smiles and pecks his lips

Caleb stares at her, smiling

Hanna "What?" she chuckles

Caleb "Just like you did that awesome day when you finally put me out of that fucking friendzone where you had put me in"

Hanna laughs "You can always get back there. Watch out, babe! You better cook me something delicious for dinner" she says, playfully

Caleb "Oh, yeah?" he starts tickling her belly

Hanna laughs "Stop it, Caleb!" she yells, laughing even more

Caleb laughs too "Say that I will never get back to the friendzone"

Hanna laughs "No"

Caleb lies her down on the couch and leans over her, tickling her even more and she bursts of laughter "Say it"

Hanna "You are… not going back… to the friendzone" she manages to say between laughs

Caleb "Never"

Hanna "Never"

Caleb stops tickling her but she is still laughing and he has a big smile on his face.

Caleb "You are so fucking beautiful when you laugh" he says and presses a long peck on her lips

Hanna "Only you can make me laugh like this after an awful day as I just had" she smiles at him "And I love you too, by the way"

Caleb smiles widely. He stands up from the couch and then he offers his hand to help her up.

They go to the small kitchen of his apartment and Hanna takes seat at the table as he starts to cook.

Caleb "Was Alison messing with you today at the set?" he asks casually as he takes some stuff from the fridge

Hanna "We just can't stand each other, that's all… please, let's talk about something else"

Caleb "Fine" he smiles at her "But I'm definitely not asking you how your day was"

Hanna "Please don't" she chuckles "How was your day, though?"

Caleb "I have had better days, but it was okay, leaving out the part when I was worried about you"

Hanna "Oh, talking about that, I still don't have my phone and my mom told me that she was gonna call me tonight… she will freak out if I don't take any of her calls"

Caleb "Take my phone and call her… I must have left it on the couch"

Hanna nods, she stands up from the chair and approaches him. When turns her gaze to her, she takes his face in her hands and kisses his lips gently. Then she exits the kitchen, leaving him with a smile on his face.

Like an hour later, the dinner is ready and Hanna hasn't gone back to the kitchen yet. So, Caleb goes to look for her and he finds Hanna sound asleep on the couch. If he knew that she hasn't been sleeping well at night, he wouldn't wake her up. But he supposes that she just fell asleep after a long day of working so he bends down and caresses her hair to wake her up.

Hanna opens her eyes and looks at him very confused.

Caleb smiles at her "Hey"

Hanna is still confused but she leans forward and sits on the couch.

Caleb "Dinner is ready"

Hanna "Oh, right… I completely fell asleep, sorry" she stands up from the couch

Caleb chuckles "It's okay… Did you call your mom, by the way?"

Hanna "Yeah" she stares at him, smiling

Caleb "What?" he smiles back

Hanna "I just loved the picture of us on your phone" she says, still smiling

Caleb smiles widely "I love that picture too, I can't post it but at least I can see it every time I use my phone"

They have dinner while talking about random stuff, leaving out of the conversation all their problems like Alison, the pictures, their fight of the night before, etc. Then Hanna offers to do the washing-up but of course, Caleb doesn't let her do that and he does it himself as Hanna dries the dishes and kitchen utensils with the dishtowel.

Hanna "Have you ever thought about getting a dishwasher?" she says as she dries a fork

Caleb chuckles "Yeah, I would have to choose between my fridge and my kitchen to make some room for a dishwasher in this little kitchen. I don't think so… besides, you don't have to help me with this, I know you are a spoiled" he runs a finger down along the bridge of her nose, leaving some lather all the way until the tip of her nose

Hanna "Hey! I'm not a spoiled! I was just saying it" she wipes the lather on her nose "I could have done the washing, you were the one who didn't let me do it"

Caleb laughs and presses a kiss on her cheek.

Hanna "Aria called me yesterday… she is coming to LA on Friday with Ezra. I'm so excited" she grins

Caleb "That's great, babe… How long will they be here?"

Hanna "Just for the weekend. They are actually going to Las Vegas, but Aria wants to visit me a few days too, so they are crushing at my apartment for the weekend before going there. I'm so happy" she says, smiling

Caleb smiles back

They finish with the dishes and Caleb approaches Hanna, he places his hands on her waist and starts a gentle kiss. Hanna places her hands on his face, cupping his cheeks and kisses him back.

Hanna pulls away "I should go, babe… It's kind of late"

Caleb nods. He wants her to stay with him and spend the night together, but he is gonna follow Emily's advice and give Hanna some space.

Hanna "Could you please call me a cab?"

Caleb shakes his head and pecks her lips "I'm taking you home, baby"

Hanna smiles at him

Caleb "I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to the TV studios"

Hanna "No way. You don't have to shoot until after lunch break, I can take a cab or ask Spencer to pick me up"

Caleb "Fine, but you call me if you need anything, at any time"

Hanna nods and kisses him once more.

Caleb takes her home. She feels so much better now that they made up, and she doesn't know why, but Caleb did exactly what she needed by just being there for her without pushing her to talk to him. And she is glad too that he hasn't asked her to stay at his place and spend the night with him, because she wouldn't have liked to lie to him again or make a lame excuse to get out of that. She really hopes that now that she is feeling better she can finally have a good night's sleep.

Well, this was another very long chapter… I love when Alison is such a bitch, I have always liked that version of her on PLL. And this Emily and this Hanna have some things from Shay and Ashley that I wanted to add to the characters. Hanna and Caleb are okay, at least for now :) And next chapter will be fun.
