Emily's POV

The next week Maya and I began hanging out a bit more often, I had hardly seen Hanna, even at home, we only saw each other twice a day, in the morning and just before bed. Being with Maya, I had to admit made me take my mind somewhat off of Hanna, although every now and then I wished it was her who was there and not Maya.

"Hello Emily," Maya said.

"Hello Maya," I said smiling at her.

"So what's the plan for after school?"

"I'm actually up for anything, I just have to stop at home really quickly before we go out."

Hanna's POV

It had been a week since the club, Emily was still number one in my mind, I thought being with Caleb would help me get over her but boy I was wrong.. Ever since that night I had a bit more distant with Caleb I couldn't bare being around him, it makes me feel guilty to know that I'm just using him.

"What the hell is this Hanna?!" Caleb asks angrily walking towards me in the school hall. I read the text.

"Looks like you're just Hanna's toy while she really goes for what she wants -A"

The text was followed up with a video of Emily and I last week when I was helping her get out of her dress.

"Caleb this isn't what it looks like," I try to explain.

"Really? Cause to me it looks like you're undressing her!"

"Please, Emily was drunk off her ass. I was helping her change, why can't you understand that?"

"Oh and I'm just supposed to assume that look you gave her when she was half naked was just an accident?!"

"No, I was just.."

"Just what Hanna?"

"I can't explain right now.."

"Okay well can you explain why at the club you looked at her more than me?!"

I stay silent, looking in any direction that's not towards Caleb.

"Silence.. I've been getting that a lot from you lately. Talk to me when you find your voice.."

"Are you breaking up with me?" I ask tears streaming down my face.

"I'm sorry Hanna," those were the last words Caleb said before walking away.

I went home that day in tears, nobody wants me, I thought. Emily had moved on and Caleb just dumped me. I began letting all my past insecurities get to me, I began to think my body wasn't good enough but I could never go back to being bulimic.. I'm stronger than that I kept telling myself. Emily came home a few hours later seeing me under the covers in tears.

"Hanna..."

I stayed quiet, pretending I was asleep. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone.

"Hanna, c'mon I know you're awake, I can hear you crying, what's wrong?" I felt her hand on me, sending shocks throughout my whole body.

"It's nothing," I lied.

"Obviously not nothing if you're crying, get up, talk to me," she said softly.

I got up turning to Emily, her eyes were filled with concern. God she's so beautiful, I thought as soon as I laid my eyes on her.

Emily's POV

"C-Caleb and I broke up.." She said, sobbing.

"Oh my god! Why?"

"Uh.. Do you remember last when I was helping you change...?"

"When was this?"

"The day we went to the club, you were drunk, and asked me to help you get changed."

"Oh, okay. Continue." I said.

"Well, -A took a video of it, sent it to Caleb and he thought I was undressing you," she said shyly looking away.

"Did you try explaining to him what really happened?"

"Of course I did but he didn't believe me.. For other reasons.."

"What other reasons Hanna, you know you can tell me."

"He.. He just doesn't love me.. No one loves me," she said between sobs.

"Hanna," I said reaching for her hand intertwining our fingers. "I love you."

"Yeah but not like that anymore, Em I saw you at the club. You've obviously moved on. Plus you've been hanging out with that girl.. You were taking body shots off of her."

"You mean Maya?"

"Yeah, her. You two have been together a lot lately. I can see that y-"

I leaned in capturing her lips effectively cutting her off. I couldn't take it anymore, her lips on my own felt like a need.

"Haven't moved on…" she whispered after I pulled away.

"Hanna I'm so sorry, you just broke up with Caleb and I go do this."

"It's okay," she says, softly leaning in again for a heated kiss. At that moment I felt on top of the world, Hanna Marin's lips were on mine.

Hanna's POV

Kissing Emily was perfect, I felt like fireworks had gone off in my heart. At first I was beyond shocked that she kissed me first, I worked up the courage to kiss her back and ask her the one question I needed an answer to.

"Emily… Will… You be my… Girlfriend?" I saw in-between kisses.

We both pulled apart looking deeply into each other's eyes.

"Do you have any idea how long I've wanted that question to come up?"

"So, what's your answer?"

"Of course I will be, I've had feelings for you since the first day I laid eyes on you." Emily said truthfully.

"Can I be honest here Em?"

"Yeah,"

"I actually had feelings for you since we first met, but I convinced myself that it was just a phase, then I got with Caleb and I realized, it's you and only you that holds a place in my heart. I'm sorry about everything."

"Hanna, you have nothing to be sorry for-"

"No Em I do. As soon as I had feelings for you I should have told you, we could have avoided you cutting again if I had done that," I said looking down.

"Hey," she said tilting my head back up, "that wasn't your fault, don't even for a second think it was, it's my issue that I've dealt with. How can I ever go back to that knowing I have the best girlfriend in the world. Hanna you make me happy."

"You make me happy too Em, you save me from my biggest fear…."

"And what would that fear be?"

"Not having anyone to love me… I had my dad but he left, it's been 9 years and it still kills me everyday, I had Caleb and he left too.. Don't be like the rest.. Don't leave me, can you promise that?" I said with tears in my eyes.

"Promise," she said attaching our lips for a kiss laced with promise and lust. "I love you so much Hanna, nothing can take you away from me."

"I love you too," I said. Those were the last words that was said for the night before we went to sleep. Emily's arms wrapped around my waist holding me close as we slept, from then on I knew I would never fall asleep without being in her arms.
