Chapter 14 Recap

Later that night.
Caleb P.O.V
"Would you like something to drink?" I ask Hanna as she sits on the couch in the living room. I'm in the kitchen putting away some cups, Penny went to her hotel and Jesse and Vanessa went home, so it's just me and Hanna it her house.
"No thank you." She smiles before returning to her writing, before Hanna left the hospital her nurse Jenna encouraged her to keep a diary of her thoughts. "What are you writing in there?" I ask her as I sit on the opposite end of the couch.
Hanna giggles before saying "it's a secret." Then putting her diary down and locking it before turning to me. "Im going to put this is my room." She says standing up and taking her diary with her." She's gone for about three minutes before returning to the couch this time sitting closer to me.
"Caleb I don't think this is mine." Hanna says unsurely then placing something in my hand before sitting back and looking at me attentively, waiting for me to explain what it was. I open my hand and see a necklace with the letter "C" engraved into, I recognise it straight away, I gave Hanna this shortly after she was rescued from the doll house, when we were teenagers.
"I think it is yours Hanna, maybe someone gave it to you and it has the first letter of their name on it." I explain to her, I flip the necklace over revealing the tiny writing on the other side, the writing is so small Hanna doesn't even know it's there and if she did she couldn't read it, it's in French I'm the only one who can read it.
"Would you like to wear it until we find its actual owner if it's not yours?" I ask her, she nods happily then turning around and placing her hair on her shoulder. I carefully place it around her neck, when I'm done she turns around and smiles before hugging me, while she's hugging me I quickly tickle her sides causing her to burst out laughing and fall on me causing me to fall back on the couch with a laughing Hanna lying on my chest.
I look at Hanna's face and can clearly tell she had enough of being tickled so I stop. Suddenly Hanna asks me "Can we watch Mean Girls?", I respond with a firm "No." causing her to make a pouty face for a few seconds then returning to a smile.
"Tell me a story then." She says before snuggling into my chest. "It don't have any stories to tell Han." I say apologetically. "It's ok." she says. "Caleb, why are the people trying to hurt me." Hanna asks her mood changing and her voice quieting while she talks.
"I don't know Han, there are some crazy people in this world, who will do stupid things for no reason but I promise I will never let anything happen to you." I finish. "You promise?" She asks. "Promise." I answer. "Thank you Caleb." She says before relaxing into my chest once again. We just sit the in silence for a few minutes before I say "fine I'll watch Mean Girls with you." No reply, I get nervous when she doesn't reply what if somethings happened to her. I lift her head a little bit and quickly realise she's sleeping. "Sweet dreams, Princess." I say picking up the blacker that had fallen on the floor when I tickled her, I cover her with the blanket before I to join her in dream land.
The Next Morning.
"How is she." Toby asks me as I work on my laptop, Toby and Spencer came over about an hour ago after breakfast, Hanna and Spencer are upstairs in her room.
"She's just really relaxed but can get extremely distressed at any moment, as for her memory nothing's really happened with that yet." I answer.
"Did Vanessa say anything about her memory?" He asks. "She just said like anything could trigger a memory and could potentially remember whose in the memory but not know who they are but as for her entire memory something extreme would have to trigger it all to come back at once."
"What do you mean by remember whose in the memory but not know who they are?" Toby asks making me realise I needed to elaborate more. "I mean she could have a memory with her grandmother in it but she wouldn't know what her grandmother looks like because the memory could be very distorted or fussy, so if I asked her who was in that memory she could answer with my grandma because she heard someone say that was her grandmother in the memory but she couldn't identify her grandmother by looks, but on the bright side Vanessa said that her memories are more likely to come back with time, so that's good." I answer his final question.
Hanna P.O.V
"What colour do you want?" I ask showing Spencer the three different shades of blue nail polish. "That one." She answers pointing at the lighter shade of blue. "Whose that in the kitchen with Caleb?" I ask while painting her pinky.
"That's my boyfriend Toby." She answers looking down at her nails. "Ooh boyfriend." I say with a weird accent and using an eyebrow gesture causing Spencer to laugh. "Hey is this yours." I ask guiding her attention to the necklace I'm wearing. "No that's not mine Han." She answers. "Ok." I say before going back to her nails.
It takes about fifteen minutes but I finally finish her nails. We go downstairs and see Caleb & Toby having a beer in the kitchen. We soon join them in conversation.
Alison P.O.V
"Ok so Caleb asked us to map out a timeline of Hanna's disappearance, we don't know everything but we'll try." Emily says. Myself, Emily,Aria, Ezra, Jason & Penny are all sitting on the floor around my coffee table, trying to write a timeline so we have some sense of what happened to Hanna and if we get anymore information we can add on to it, Penny is here to help us with what happened to Hanna when she was living with them.
"11:45pm Hanna is kidnapped down the tunnel." Ezra writes down. Aria continues "3:00am Hanna is captured by security footage leaving the church disoriented.", "Penny when did Jesse find Hanna?" Aria asks the focused blonde. "Around 1:30pm around 3 days later." She answers.
"Ok so during 11:45 and 3:00 Hanna was in my backyard and possibly my house but at some point she was moved to the church." I speak while writing my words down not giving them a definite point like we wrote for the other because these don't have exact times.
"And 3:00 am Monday till 1:30 pm on Thursday we don't have any definite points of location or actions." Jason adds. "The only one who knows what happened between Monday and Thursday is Hanna, if she tells us it might give us some more help in finding out who took her other than just Mary Drake." Jason finishes.
"I think the time we need to focus on is 11:45 and 3:00 because at some point she was with another person we don't know what happened between Monday and Thursday she could've just wondered around for those three days but there is load of information between 11:45 and 3:00 that could crack this entire thing, only problem is Hanna doesn't remember what happened, Hanna holds all the secrets." Penny finishes, competing with Jason.
I don't care if there fighting, as long as we are getting information, that's all that matters.
A Few Hours Later
Hanna P.O.V
"Caleb why are we here, you know I don't like hospitals." I ask him as we walk up the hospital corridor. Spencer & Toby left a few hours ago. Caleb and I decided to go for a drive but when he got in the car he remembered he'd drunk even though he'd only had one sip of beer, he decided to walk just to be safe and it's also good to get some fresh air.
During our walk we reached Rosewood Hospital and Caleb pulled me inside saying there was someone he wanted to visit. So here we are at the door of room 27. We enter the room I see a woman lying on the bed clearly in a coma.
"Is this your Mom, Caleb?" I ask. She looks like she could be his Mom or maybe an aunt or something. "No but she's kind of like a Mom to me." He replies before continuing "You remember how I told you I ran away from my foster home and lived on the streets for a little while," I nod remembering he told me that "well I lived at her house for a little while before I found my real Mom but we've always kept in contact."
"What's her name?" I ask. "Ashley." He replies. "Do you recognise her?" He asks confusing me, why would I know her.", "No." I reply. "Where would I know her from?" I continue in confusion. "She lives in Rosewood and since everyone knows everyone in this town I thought maybe you'd recognise her." He answers removing my confusion.
"Maybe I'll know her if I get my memories back." I say hopefully. "No." Caleb says walking over to me before continuing."No not if, When you get your me memories back." He says smiling at me before giving me a hug as we embrace this moment.
10:00pm
Caleb P.O.V
"Are you happy now." I say jokingly annoyed. "Yes, very." Hanna says confidentiality, happy because she got me to watch Mean Girls three times with her. "Good." I roll my eyes at her before getting up with her, she begins following me to the kitchen.
"God, you and Toby made a mess in here." She says pointing at the two beer bottles still sitting on the counter top from this morning. "Hey you and Spencer were the ones who wanted ice cream." I say jokingly challenging her, pointing at the empty bowls in the sink.
I help Hanna do the dishes since they are more plates and bowls other than the two used for ice cream. Once we finish Hanna turns the water off and I grab the beer bottles and begin to walk them to the trash can, as I'm walking Hanna turns around not realising I'm there and we accidentally crash into each other I drop the beer bottles causing them to smash all over the floor with a loud sound of shattering glass, leaving glass and liquor to go everywhere, I quickly grab Hanna stoping her from falling, luckily neither of us get glass or liquor on us.
Hanna turns her head and faces me giving me a look I've never seen before, if I could describe this look I would say it was absolutely fearful, she looked at me absolutely petrified. That's how I would describe it.
Suddenly Hanna forcefully removes herself from my arms and runs upstairs bawling her eyes out. I wait a few seconds before going after her. I enter her room and realised the cries were coming from her mothers room. Once I'm in Ashley's room i instantly see Hanna, she is under her mothers vanity.
I get closer and Hanna yells at me "I'm sorry." I then realise with her apologising for no reason maybe she isn't seeing me as me. "I promise I'll be good." She screams choking on her words as the tears come out as I get closer to her she tries to shift her self away from me but is stopped by a leg of the vanity.
"Han it's me Caleb." I say trying to be comforting, once I'm right next to her I say "I'm not going to hurt you Han." I guess I got to close because out of she yells "YOU LIED" and then slaps me right across the face, I barley notice, I'm way to worried about her. Hanna manages to free herself and quickly crawls in to the corner. Her eyes are red and puffy from crying.
Then she says something, what she said made me realise I was right, she isn't seeing me as me. She seeing me as some one who hurt her in childhood. Then it hits me, if she seeing me as someone else that means she's remembering something. Hanna yells the same thing again, this time with far more emotion
"Please don't hurt my Mommy."
Then I realise something else, Ashley once told me that she had an accident when Hanna was four, what if this was the accident, maybe seeing her today triggered that memory or maybe something else did, what if Hanna remembering Ashley's accident.
I have to calm Hanna down because she's getting to stressed and could easily faint at this point. "Hanna whose trying to hurt your Mommy?" I asks trying to play along with her. "You." She yells, more tears fall out of her eyes. "I'm not trying to hurt your Mom." Hanna braces herself against the wall beginning to talk, the memory has taken over her mind. She's speaking like a child.
"You lied, you said you would stop, but you didn't, you promised you wouldn't hurt Mommy but you did." She cries even more making a tear fall down my cheek as well.
"Hanna it's ok I'm not the person you have to be afraid of, I'm not going to hurt you or your Mom, I promise." I tell her, trying to convince her to snap out of her dark childhood memory.
"But you promised before and you didn't, you liar." She says but as soon as she says liar she gets even more scared. I have a thought, a dark thought, I don't even want to imagine it, what if she's repeating something she said to the person trying to hurt her Mom maybe after she said liar he or she hurt her, if something happened to Hanna that young it would break my heart. She was just a defenceless child.
"I promise this time it mean it." I say trying anything to calm her down. "Ok." She nods before getting up and walking away. I secretly follow her, she walks to her bedroom and basically falls on the bed, within a minute she's dead asleep. I watch he sleep peacefully for a few minutes before going downstairs to clean up the beer.
It takes me a few minutes to clean it but I eventually finish and go back upstairs to check on Hanna. I walk into her room, she has her back to me. The silence is broken when Hanna says "Caleb, what are you doing in here?" I quickly respond by saying "just making sure you're okay, you were pretty upset earlier.
"Sorry about that." She says rolling over and facing me. I sit down on the edge of her bed. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask. She doesn't reply, I take that as a no. "Would you like to be left alone?" I ask her. This time I get a response. "No."
"Do you want me to stay?" I ask, she slightly nods, I guess crying tired her out. "Ok." I say moving under the blanket. I look at Hanna she has fallen back asleep, I grab a tissue from her night table and wipe the tears off her face before I fall asleep as well.
Well there you go, Hanna remembered something, I told you it was sad, what do you think happened to Hanna during those three days. Who do you think hurt Hanna & Her Mom, what do you think triggered Hanna to have a flashback. Review and let me know xx
