Clays pov:
Tony wakes me up at half 8 in the morning so that I can go home and get ready to see Hannah and this I am thankful for as I need time to sort myself out before seeing her. I need to figure out a way to tell her about me listening to the tapes without upsetting her, even though I know it will anyway as she never wanted me to hear them. Tony drops me off at home so I can get ready, he offers to wait and take me to Hannah's but I decline and tell him I'll ride my bike. After a few minutes debating this back and forth he finally relents and drives off with a wave and a good luck. Thanks Tony I'll definitely need it. Mom and dad aren't in when I enter the house which means that they must have early starts this morning so I have no questions to who I was with last night, thank God.
Once I'm ready to leave I text Hannah and tell her I'll be there in 10 mintutes. With that I get my bike out of the garage and lock up all the doors before riding off to Hannah's. It literally takes the ten minutes I've said and as I turn the corner to Hannah's road, to my amazement I find Hannah sitting on her porch waiting for me to arrive. As soon as she sees me she jumps up and starts to run down her pathway. By the time I get to the end of her pathway she runs straight towards me and I open up my arms quickly to welcome her in and I hold her close to me and breathe her in. She smells like lavender. She's my favourite smell.
Hannah's pov:
I wake up quite early today, it's probably my mind telling me to get up early as I'm seeing clay today. Clay. Just the thought of his name brings the biggest smile to my face. I hope he slept alright after everything yesterday, I really wish he didn't have to know all of what I told him but at the same time he deserved to know. I don't exactly know what will happen with us now, right at this moment I just know that we love each other. I could imagine living a life with Clay Jenson, he would make me so happy, and maybe a little fat from his junk food. I'd welcome everything if it was from him though because he's my Clay, my adorable Clay. I look at my phone and see that it's just after 9 in the morning so I get up and start getting ready for the day. First I choose some clothes to wear, then go to the bathroom to have a quick shower and then get dressed and put a little bit of make up on, not to much though as Clay always says I don't need any at all. I have a little bit of breakfast before brushing my teeth and declaring myself ready for the day.
I'm that eager to see Clay that when he texts me to say he will be here in 10 mintutes I decide to wait 5 or so before going outside and locking up. I sit on the porch waiting for him to arrive, he does, not even a minute later which I love as he was right about the time it would take him to get here. As I see him I get so excited that I jump up and start to run down the pathway to meet him and when I get to the bottom of the path he is there just opening his arms to me. I run into his arms and hold him close to me as he is doing so to me too. I can hear him take in a deep breath, smelling me as I'm close to him. He must recognise that I'm wearing my favourite lavender perfume.
Clay tells me that he needs to talk to me which instantly I have a bad feeling about, however he reasures me that it's nothing too bad. He decides on talking me to a hill top with a bench that he sometimes visits when his head is full of thoughts or when he just wants peace and quite away from his parents. He keeps his bike as he reminds me that he still owes me a ride so I happily sit on the seat behind his as he directs me to and hold on to him as best as I can while he stands and pedals infront of me. It doesn't take too long for us to get the the hill top and take a seat on the only bench there. It's quite peaceful up here really, secluded from everything else but with a beautiful view. Clay sits next to me once he has sorted his bike out infront of us and puts his arm around my shoulder to pull me into his side. I scoot into his side and put my head in his shoulder and sigh contently which Clay also does too. We sit there for a while in silence just looking out at the view of all the houses and various building below us. It's quite nice really especially since it's a lovely day as well. We have been sitting here for what seems hours when Clay breaks the silence. He looks down at me nervously and whispers quietly.
"I listened to your tapes Hannah"
