*One month later*
Emily's POV
I found myself deep down under the water once again.
Since Caleb's sudden return Hanna's been distant and acting a little bit weird. Just a little bit, …sure.
I don't blame her though. Honestly I was expecting this from her, things were slowly getting back like they used to be.
Unrequited love.
Since the whole begging I was aware of what I was getting myself into but that Caleb was out of sight I put those bad feelings aside. But here he is; Standing next to her every time he got the chance, stealing glances that only I could see because Hanna was busy talking to me, soothing me with sweet words that blinded me for a while. I could see the hope in his eyes and the way that they light when she was talking to him but soon enough that light wasn't only in his eyes anymore.
If you love something set it free.
Thanks to the current situation right now, swimming wasn't my escape anymore from those haunting thoughts. Before I got the chance to rethink the recent events all over again, I heard loud shouting from above the water. When I quickly resurfaced I was met with widened eyes and a worried expression.
It wasn't her.
"Em are you okay? You really scared me; I was going to jump into the water, I thought that you were drowning!" She extended her hand towards me, helping me to get out of the pool. When I was swiftly pulled out some of the water splashed against her and my body slightly pressed against hers. Before I know it our eyes were locked as my hand was still holding hers. The tension was too much and she quickly tore off her gaze letting go of me.
"I'm … s-sorry." I softly said as my hands ran through my dripping wet hair.
What am I doing?
I headed towards the lockers to change and no more than a meter I felt her warm hand grabbing my wrist, but instead of stopping me she started walking with me.
"What's happening?" Her soft voice, filled with concern, once again broke the awkward tension. Before I even had the chance to say something she cut me off.
"… and don't tell me it's nothing, because I still care about you. You can talk to me, you know." When I didn't respond to her, she looked down at the floor sadly. I don't know what came to me but I caught her off guard with a tight hug.
"What I'm going to do, Paige?" At times like this I had only Paige to talk to. I mean I still have Aria and Spencer but if I tell them, within a few hours Hanna will know too and everything will become even more complicated.
"Just explain to her how you feel and what's bothering you." She stepped aside studying my face carefully. That's the thing I love about Paige, we cannot talk for a long time and yet we know everything about each other.
"I'm sure that she knows, but I don't see her doing something about it." I crossed my arms feeling the anger rising inside of me. I turned around facing my locker, opening it to get my clothes out and change. I needed to talk to her. Paige looked around for a minute unsure of what to do.
"I have to go but if you feel the need to share something you can always call me." I simply nodded and heard her footsteps echoing around the tiles.
.Ring
My phone beeped inside of my purse as I felt my heart tightening. Thanks to the daily terror for the past 2 years I always expect the worst thing to happen when I receive a message. To my surprise I see Hanna's name.
"Babe I already headed home, when you are done with practice just come here!" Thoughts of Caleb walking her home clouded my mind as I quickly gathered my things and went outside.
After 15 minutes I was in front of the Marin's white wooden door feeling nervous to see Hanna. We barely had any classes together today and at lunch Caleb decided to join us so it was like I was invisible most of the time.
When I got the courage to come inside I heard her talking to someone on the phone and by what I was hearing she was giggling.
Fucking Caleb.
I didn't bother ringing the bell I just made my way inside. She immediately said goodbye to whoever she was talking and put her phone away.
"Hey…" She stuck her hands in her back pockets and slowly made her way to me. Looking at the ground I could tell that something was bothering her.
"Hey." I hugged her around her waist but I felt her body stiffening up. I thought that maybe my mind was playing tricks on me but when my lips aimed to hers for a quick peck I was met with her cheek.
Flinch.
"Did I do something wro-"
"Don't play dump with me Emily." She cut me off. I was caught by surprise from her sudden behavior. Cold blue eyes met mine as she stepped back, her heels clicking loudly on the floor.
"If some of us have to be mad that should be me, Hanna" Her eyes never leaving mine as I felt the storm coming.
That's the time I have to tell her everything.
"Oh yeah, mad about what!? I saw you Emily; it was only the two of you-"What is she talking about? I was confused by her accusation.
"I saw you hugging… and it was for too long, Em." She looked away as I saw her eyes watering. She must of saw me and Paige by the pools.
"Hanna it wasn't even like tha-" I tried to defend myself by her jealous outburst.
"Sure." Bitter smile on her lips as she laughed sarcastically.
"You know what … I don't even have to explain to you. Since you are always with Caleb I wonder that you even saw me in school!" I raised my voice as the anger from earlier started boiling again.
There was no stopping now.
"Did you look for me or you just randomly saw us? Or maybe you were looking for him. I bet that he walked you home, am I right Hanna?" She kept quite as her eyes were looking anywhere but me.
Silence.
"Before I came inside you were on the phone with him weren't you?" It was more of a statement than question. She finally looked at me her eyes piercing through mine.
"I see the way you look at each other, I'm not blind." She just blinked without saying a word.
"I'm not going through all of this again." I made a step backwards as she walked a step closer.
"You won't talk to her." She ordered and moved even closer to me, her hands still crossed in front of her.
"You are not fair Hanna." The tight grip I had on my purse was lost, falling with a loud thud. The next thing I know, her lips are angrily smashed against mine. I didn't have the time to react when I felt her body pushing mine against the wall.
Her hand slowly moving down reaching between my legs but all I can feel is her warm breath hitting my neck as she started placing sweet kisses around it. Forgetting about the past and present for the moment, I pressed my lips to hers.
She moaned quietly in my mouth as our tongues touched each others, bodies moving against each one. She started moving her hips against mine as I tried to stop her knowing where this will lead us. Instead of backing away all she did was to trap me at place, her hands locking behind me neck.
Defeated.
I placed my hands around her waist, slowly pulling her shirt up to feel her hot skin. She pulled away to catch her breath.
"Bed."
"Hanna no, this is not ri-" I tried to pull away again but I was helpless when she started pushing me backwards against her couch.
Soon enough I was sat down with her on my lap, legs spread on both of my sides, lips attached to my neck again. Her hands were roaming all over my body, her hips moving sexually. I hissed in her ear when she roughly bites on my neck holding me tightly against her, leaving me with no choice but to embrace her body.
I felt a vibration next to my leg, opening my mouth to tell her that her phone was ringing I saw the name I despised the most – Incoming call Caleb. I felt a sudden rage just by seeing his name.
I gripped her hip strongly, kissing her hard moving my legs up underneath her. With my free hand I pushed her phone down on the floor and attacked her lips roughly earning a loud moan from her. Placing my both hands on her hips we switched positions as I laid her body down on the couch, my body between her legs. I started unbuttoning her shorts, our tongues still entangled in each other.
Fuck you, Caleb.
