Guest- Thank you for your reviews. To answer your question about Hanna and Caleb saying I love you in the last chapter. Caleb said I love you in the way he always has but what Hanna meant when she said she loves him was, she was thankful for everything that he has done for her like dealing with her meltdowns, making her laugh and keeping her safe, and she loves him for that, plus Hanna was half asleep when she said it so she probably doesn't even remember telling Caleb that or him telling her either. Also I write Hanna a little differently than she is on the show because it's kinda like she's be re born and learning everything again so I write her kind of child like if that makes sense plus I love writing about Caleb tickling Hanna, it's so cute. Thank you for your reviews, I always look forward to them, they are very appreciated xx

"Ok Elliot since I don't trust A.D anyone, I'm giving you the mission, we already know their plan tonight Toby, Caleb & Hanna are going to be at the Lost Woods to see if Hanna remembers the tunnel, when you get there, I don't care how you do it, I want her dead, got it!" I yell excitedly. "Yes Mary." Elliot smiles, thinking about Hanna's demise.
"But you already know Hanna didn't do it, what's the point of killing her?" A.D questions me. "She admitted to it!" I yell at him for questioning me. "But you said yourself she was innocent!" He yells.
"Aw A.D wants to save his friend aren't you mad that she chose Caleb over you!" I talk to him sarcasticly. "First of all I meet Hanna when she was crying on the side of the road because of her Dad, second I don't care anymore that she's with Caleb, they make each other happy!" He yells at me walking away.
"Just remember A.D if you leave, we can tell everyone about you, we know all your secrets!" I yell at him knowing he'll change his mind. I'm right he does.

"Are you getting excited now?" Emily asks Penny as they both look at the sonogram sent by Vanessa of her baby. "Yes, only one more week until I meet my little niece." Penny says excitedly. "I thought they didn't know the gender yet?" Hanna asks confused. "They don't, I just really want a girl." She nods rapidly.
"What are you gonna do if it's a boy?" I asks the enthusiastic blonde but before she can answer Aria interrupts. "Get Jason to knock her up and hope it's girl." She jokes causing everyone to laugh. "Oh shit Hanna it's four we have to go now." Aria says realising the time. "Bye guys." They both say walking out the door.
"Penny, you know I love you but please don't have a baby with Jason yet." I say joking but half serious. "I promise, Ali." She laughs back at me. "Where is Jason anyway?" Emily asks the blonde. "He's at work." She says before getting up to go take a shower.
Aria P.O.V
"Don't drop them." I tell Hanna as she carries a bouquet of flowers to Ashley's room, Caleb brings Hanna here every few days hoping that it might spark Hanna's memory or maybe it might help Ashley recover.
"I won't." The clumsy blonde assures me. Once we reach Ashley's room I notice two people standing in there, before I can see who they are the boy turns around. "Hey, sis." Mike says as Mona cuddles into his side. "What are you doing here?" I ask not bothering to sound polite.
Before Mike can answer Hanna cuts him off, "Is this your Mom?" Hanna asks a visibly upset Mona. "No, she's one of my closest friends Moms." Mona answers. "Hi, I'm Mona and this is my boyfriend Mike." She says introducing them. Hanna smiles shaking Mona's hand. "I'm Hanna, this is Aria." She says pointing at me. "I know, she's Mike's sister." "You had a brother and didn't tell me!" Hanna says stunned. "I did tell you Han." I say. Sometimes things just slip her mind I guess.
Hours Later
Caleb P.O.V
"She is out." I comment on the sleeping blonde in the back of my car. "I know, i guess running around like a manic with Spencer tired her out." Toby jokes, While Toby and I were planning what we are going to do tonight, Spencer and Hanna where running around the house pretending that zombies were chasing them.
"Hey Caleb, did you even know about Hanna's Dad or like did she ever hint at something like that?" Toby asks cautiously.
Flashback
New York 2014 (Right now it's 2017 in PLL so I'm making it 2014 so Hanna and Caleb will have been living in New York for two years now, this takes place a few weeks before they broke up, I don't know when Hanna and Jordan met (Possibly 2015) but I'm assuming they have together for about two years before Hanna & Caleb saw each other in 6x11)
"Why's it so cold." I mumble to myself as I roll over looking for the only thing that will warm me up, Hanna's sleeping body, if it was two years ago Hanna would be sleeping in my arms right now but things have changed since then. Once I put my arm out expecting to feel her warm body curled up in a ball next to mine instead I just feel a cold mattress.
I spring into action, what if -A's taken her again. I frantically run around our apartment looking for her, I check the bathroom "no," Kitchen "no," Laundry "no," Living/Dining Room "no." Then I hear something, it's sounds muffled but where's it coming from, then I realise it's coming from the balcony, strange why would Hanna be out on the balcony at three in the morning.
Carefully I move the curtain just enough so I can see Hanna. What is she doing out there right now, it's freezing and all she is wearing is a very thin nightgown. Then I realise she's crying on the phone to her father. "Dad, it's not my fault." She stutters to Tom as I try to listen through the glass sliding door at the best of my ability.
That's it I've had enough, it's cold and I don't want her getting sick before our trip in a few weeks. "Hanna, what are you doing out here!" I accidentally yell, I didn't mean to yell I'm just tired and a little nervous to be talking to her. This is the first time we've spoken in a few days.
"Dad, I'll have to call you back." She says grumpily hanging up. "What does it matter to you!" She yells back, I can read her like a book I know when she's upset, there are tears in her eyes. "I'm your boyfriend and I would like to know why your Dad is calling you at three in the morning and why your so upset right now!" I yell back at her, I can already tell this is going to end up being a full blown argument.
"I'm not upset!" She lies, fighting back tears. "Why are you out here right now, Hanna it's snowing." I say a little calmer. "Why can't I be out here, you're not the boss of me!" She yells clearly not backing down. "I know I'm not the boss of you but please just come back inside, you'll get hypothermia out here." I try to explain to her but she doesn't listen.
"No I don't want to go back inside!" She yells, it's pretty obvious to me the Tom said something that upset her and she's just taking it out on me. "Ok so are you going to sleep out here then!" I sass her. "If you don't go back inside to your bedroom then, if I have to I will!" She screams putting emphasis on the your.
"Hanna for god sakes it's our bedroom you spent two weeks designing it and you were sound asleep in our bed when I came home after work." I say tiredly, this is what it's been like for the past year now ever since she started working for her bitch of a boss Claudia.
"I was only sleeping in your bedroom because you hid all my blankets so I couldn't sleep out on the couch!" She yells loudly probably waking up our neighbours. "Hanna come on don't be like this, you've been my girlfriend for years now, we shouldn't sleep apart when we're in our own fucking apartment!" I yell this time losing it with her, I've had enough.
"Why are you yelling at me I didn't even do anything!" She fires back. "I'm mad because your Dad obviously has said something to upset you and now you're taking it out on me, when didn't do anything!" I yell back emphasising on the I.
"No you're just mad because we're not having sex anymore!" She yells, everything in our relationship has fallen apart at this point. "Hanna we stopped having sex because we can't even have a rational conversation with each other without it ending in a full blown fight." I yell back at her.
"If we can't get along then why are we going to Europe!" She screams, out of the corner of my eye I can see a light come on next door. I grab Hanna gently by the hand and pull her inside making her even more pissed off.
"We're going to Europe because we planned it that one week we were actually getting along after those ten weeks we didn't talk at all." I tell her, that seems so weird to say, what happened to us. "You know what, fine then, if all we do is fight, then let's cancel Europe and instead just break up!" She yells clearly upset about what she had just said.
"You wanna break up?" I say back to her. "Fine then were broken up, we're done." I finish. "Done." She says back at me, wow we are officially broken up, this is really awkward we just stare at each other, directly looking into each other's eyes. Out of nowhere a surge takes over us, it literally felt like something was pushing us together right now, in every way possible. I grab her and pull her close instantly connecting our lips for a hard, passion filled kiss, which she immediately responses to, I move my hands down to her thighs and she gets what I want her to do, she jumps up in my arms and I carry her to our bedroom.
That night I think we both thought everything was going to get better but even after it happened, we both knew that sex only fixes the problem for now, it doesn't help the future.
Flashback Ends.
"No, she never mentioned anything and if she did I never picked up on it." I lie straight to his face. "We're here." Toby says accidentally a little to loud causing Hanna to wake up. "What the fuck Toby!" Hanna yells annoyed about being woken up.
"Sorry Hanna." He says before getting out of the truck. "Why do we have to come here Caleb." She asks as I open the door for her to get out. "Because we want to see if you remember anything in this room." I explain to her. "How do you know if I was in this room?" Hanna asks very confused. Crap think Caleb make up something. "Um because the police said you were taken from here." I lie to her hoping she'll believe it.
"Oh ok." She shrugs it off.
Hanna P.O.V
About fifteen minutes after we entered the room, I told Caleb & Toby that I didn't remember anything but Toby insisted that we should all look around for anything just to be safe to make sure my kidnapper didn't leave anything. Caleb stayed in the room with me while Toby went outside. I look out the window while Caleb looks under the bed, I see a figure at first I assume it's Toby but when it gets closer i realise that it's not.
"Caleb!" I scream as I throw myself on the floor next to him. "What!" He yells, I must of scared him. "There's someone outside." I yell terrified. "Hanna it's just Toby." He says rubbing my back as he tries to calm me down.
"No it's not." I basically interrupt him, "please believe me Caleb it's not Toby, someone's out there." I yell begging him to believe me. "Ok." He says standing up. Caleb looks out the window for a few seconds then by his face expressions I can tell he's seen the person too.
"Hanna go over her with me." He says frantically as we walk over to the other side of the room. We hear a pounding at the door. "He's trying to break down the door!" I tell but before I can finish my sentence the door falls to the ground and we see his mask covered face.
Elliot P.O.V
"I've got them now." I mumble to myself as I get closer. Caleb looks so scared for Hanna and he should be. "What do you want!" Hanna screams. I see Caleb shielding Hanna as I begin to pull out my gun. Out of no where Hanna screams violently and that's when I realised I didn't need to kill her anymore, this is way better. I run away as fast as I can.
I've never been so happy in my life.
Caleb P.O.V
"Hanna get behind me!" I yell as I see a black figure approaching us, she immediately moves behind me, oh god we really need Toby here right now. I grab the knife out of my pocket to use as our only defence, I could go and beat this guy up but that would mean leaving Hanna alone and vulnerable, that can't happen.
"What do you want!" Hanna yells at the hooded figure. A.D starts walking towards us, fearing that he had a gun or something, I quickly push myself backwards, shielding Hanna. Suddenly I hear a loud shriek from Hanna. I freeze and let go of the knife, I don't hear the knife falling to the ground. Then I realise there's blood on my hands.
And that's how I made the worst mistake of my life...
To be continued.
