Hey guys! I know I'm really slow with updating but I'm trying! The new chapter of my PLL story Together We're Stronger is coming soon. I'm also writing a Haleb AU. And please give me some ideas for one-shots if you want!
AND DID YOU WATCH 7X07? THAT HALEB SCENE... IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE CLOSE TO GETTING BACK TOGETHER. And Jason is back! I don't like that something's up with him and Aria, but I'm glad he and Ali are close now! Mary has another kid! I vote Aria! I mean, A.D. took her file... And it would be a nightmare for the poor Jason, if Aria is Mary's daughter, that means Jason dated his cousin. Again! It could be Spencer or Noel, though! 7X08 PROMO HAS ME FREAKING OUT! HALEB! BUT THEN A CAR HITS CALEB! I DON'T THINK HE DIES, AND SOME PEOPLE SAY IT MIGHT BE A DREAM. I DON'T THINK IT'S A DREAM BECAUSE ON HIS SNAPCHAT HE WAS IN A HOSPITAL BED AND ASHLEY WAS WITH HIM SO WE'LL SEE. IT'S PROBABLY NOT A DREAM AND IT WOULD BE A PREFECT WAY FOR HALEB TO REUNITE! YAY!
Anyways, this is chapter 3 and I hope you guys like it. Please review! :)
Hanna and Caleb's lips were touching for a few seconds but they wanted it to be forever. They never wanted it to end. It was their moment. And nobody could ruin that.
Caleb deepened the kiss and Hanna wanted nothing more than to never stop, but it wasn't fair to Spencer. She pulled away.
"Stop. This isn't right. It's not that I don't want to, but we can't. And besides, even if you and Spencer weren't together I still wouldn't be more than your friend."
"Why not? Why a friend?" he asked confused.
"Because I heard you talking to her and confessing your love and how you couldn't stop thinking about her. And how what happened with Hanna was just confusion." she said almost laughing bitterly.
He didn't say anything. He wasn't confused anymore. He knew he liked everything about Spencer. Everything. There was absolutely no doubt that they always had so much in common. They were so alike. Smart and intelligent. Spencer was great. Beautiful, smart.
But the way his heart started to beat faster and faster everytime he saw Hanna.
Everytime they touched. Hanna was his first love. In his eyes she was beautiful, funny, hot, kind, sweet, adorable, courageous, brave. There was nothing in this world Hanna wouldn't do for her friends and family. Hanna was a fighter. Everytime he looked at Hanna he could feel the spark.
If only that fight at the apartment in New York never happened. If only she never left. If only he never gave up on her. If only he never asked her to choose between him and her job? They got through Jenna, Mona, Ravenswood and Charlotte. They could get through anything. But he never even tried. She wanted to fix things and he moved on and dated her best friend. He was the one to blame.
"What were you doing there?" he finally spoke.
"I, uh-" she had no idea what to say or do. She couldn't tell him. But she was dying to tell someone. He understood her and has always supported her the most.
"Well.." that was it. She couldn't lie to him. Not about this. But then again, A.D. could hurt Caleb. Wait, Elliot's dead. But Emily got a text. No, Caleb couldn't get hurt. Not again. "All the girls were there. Then Aria and Emily left and we made a mess so we were just cleaning it up."
"Oh.. Okay. So you don't want to ruin things between me and Spencer, right?"
"Right."
"And that's why you wore a fake ring?" he asked and she nodded.
"Hanna, do you remember the time Ali returned to town and I came back from Ravenswood? And I drank alcohol. You did too. And you painted your hair in black. Spencer came to me because she was worried about you and she wanted me to help you. She told me something. I always thought you were the best thing that's ever happened to Hanna. She told me that. And I don't know if that's true. But you were always the best thing that has ever happened to me. You still are."
"Look Caleb, that night at the Lost Woods I meant what I said. I still do. I want to fix this, I really do. But I don't know how."
"Hanna, I already told you how I feel. And nothing can change that." Caleb said.
"Yeah, we'll that won't do it. This isn't about Spencer, I mean it is, but it's also about you and me. We don't work. Something always tears us apart. And it's always my fault."
"Hanna, you're not the only one to blame. It takes two. And in our case three."
Hanna sighed.
"What is it?" he asked concerned.
"I screw everything up. I just want to live in a world where my biggest problem is what to wear."
"Uh, no matter what disaster you get yourself into, it will always be your biggest worry. I know that for a fact, because I once spent three hours with you while you were trying to decide what shoes to wear. I mean really, what's the difference between a simple human shoe and those Miu Chiu things you can barely walk on?"
"Uh okay, first of all, it's Miu Miu. Haven't I taught you nothing? And there's no such thing as a human shoe. And it was so not three hours. Besides, it was like six years ago. You need to get over that. But since we're talking high school, my hair did look good back then. But that totally wasn't the point."
He smiled at how cute she was defending her shoes and blabbing about random things. Just Hanna being Hanna. He missed that Hanna. It was so not fair. Hanna and the other girls, they didn't deserve this. Nobody deserves what was happening to these girls.
"Look Caleb, this is all my fault. All of it. I wish I could go back in time, but I can't." Hanna sighed.
"I came here to tell you Spencer's suffering and we shouldn't do any of this. I have to talk to her."
"I understand, Hanna. This whole thing confuses me too. And I'm the one to blame, you can't always blame yourself. You don't deserve that." he said.
"Maybe I should go." Hanna got up. "I'll see you later, okay?"
"Yeah, uh, see you later." he said.
She walked out of the door and drove to the Brew. She needed advice. And who better than Aria Montgomery. Hanna spoted Aria at her usual spot and went to sit next to her.
"Hey." she greeted her giving her a hug.
"Hey Han." Aria smiled. "What's up?"
"I need some advice." Hanna said. "I need you."
"Yeah, I need advice too. I need you too, Han. So, what's going on?"
"Uh..." Hanna didn't know how to start. She was so confused.
"Spencer and Caleb." Aria finished for her. Man, that girl was a mind reader.
"Yeah." Hanna confirmed.
"Han, I saw you two kiss. I just thought you should know. And this whole thing, I know what it feels like."
"I just feel so terrible." Hanna put her head in her hands.
"I know Han, I know. But I'm her and I stand by you, okay? You got me." Aria comforted her.
"Thanks, Aria. But what about Emily and Spencer?"
"We're best friends, Han. Guys won't come between us. We won't let that happen. You know, I think this is how it should be. Me and Ezra, you and Caleb. You and I, we've been through a lot. They were there. Guys like Jordan and Liam, they could never understand. And just so you know, I know the difference between real and fake diamonds." Aria said, giving her a sad smile.
"Yeah, we broke up. It wasn't just Caleb. Okay, he was a part of it, but I just don't want Jordan to get hurt. I would never want that. Yeah, maybe I don't love him, but I did care about him. And Caleb knows now, because I just can't keep my mouth shut when I'm drunk. And this ring, it doesn't matter." Hanna took the ring off and threw it in the trash can.
"Look, I think it was always meant to be. You two. You've been through so much. And what must be, will be. We make wrong decisions every day, it's life. Our mistakes. But I guess we always find our way back." Aria said and Hanna smiled. Aria sighed. "Ezra proposed. Last night."
Hanna's eyes widened as she looked for a ring, but couldn't find one.
"You said no." Hanna said.
"I said I have to think about." Aria explained. "I can't promise him forever when my future could be spent behind bars, Hanna."
"Hey, we're not gonna talk about that. We're gonna forget that. You said yourself, what must be, will be. Look, you and Ezra are not different than me and Caleb. You're just like me and Caleb. But you went through much more fighting for your relationship. That's what makes you stronger. You know what I told Ella when she was marrying Byron?"
"Okay, since when are we calling people's parents by their first names?" Aria raised her eyebrows.
"Not the point, Aria! As I was saying, I told your mom that I thought it's fate. I still do. People who were in love, who had something special, like the two of us with those two, that they take a break, and then find their way back to their first love." Hanna said.
"You're right. I want nothing more than to marry him. He probably now thinks that I don't want that, but I do. I just can't lie to him Hanna." Aria sighed.
"Tell him the truth. Everything." Hanna said so fast Aria could barely understand her.
"But Emily, Ali and Spencer-" Aria started but Hanna cut her off.
"Doesn't matter. You and Ezra matter. He's who you're gonna spend the rest of your life with!"
"You're right. But you should tell Caleb too you know." Aria said.
"Why? He didn't propose to me, Aria. We're not even together!" Hanna defended.
"Maybe he didn't propose, but he will one day." Aria whispered and Hanna smiled at the thought."
"Okay fine, but first I need to talk to him, and then Spencer, and my mom. And then that. I should just make a list." the two girls giggle at Hanna's words.
"Are you gonna stay alive after the talk with your mom?" Aria asked.
"Well, my mom and Jordan... He was handsome, British and rich. She never liked him. Not even a little bit. She always preferred Caleb. I don't know why, probably because he's Mr. Fix It."
Aria chuckled. "Yeah. So now your only worry is Spencer. Don't worry Han, she'll understand."
"And if she doesn't?" Hanna panicked.
"I didn't say she would understand right away. It takes time. For all of us. But she will eventually understand you." Aria squeezed Hanna's shoulder.
"Mona was right, you are the compassionate one." Hanna said.
"Well, thank you very much." Aria smiled.
"Thanks for the advice Aria. I really needed that. Now get your butt off this couch, get to the loft and say freakin' YES! I can't wait to see that rock on your finger tomorrow! And I better be the maid of honor! You know what, I'll plan your whole wedding!" Hanna exclaimed.
Aria chuckled. "You kidding me? Of course you will be the maid of honor!"
"Well I would be if you actually said yes so go, come on we don't have the whole day!" Hanna hurred her up.
"We?" Aria asked confusedly.
"Oh come on, you know how excited I get when these things happen! Now go, future Mrs. Fitz!" Hanna clapped her hands.
"Okay, I'm going!" Aria hugghed her best friend. "Thanks, Han. See you later."
"See you! And congratulations!" Hanna yelled as she waved goodbye to her best friend.
Now Hanna had to figure out what she was gonna do next. We'll probably talk to her mom. That was going to be hard, but talking to Spencer would be a million times harder. Sighing she paid for her coffee and headed to the Radley so she could talk to her mother.
