OH MY LORDY, WHO'S SEEN THE PROMO FOR NEXT WEEKS EPISODE! I'm so glad that they can finally be together but I'm not sure if they actually kiss. Hopefully Caleb isn't in the hospital for too long xx This one is cute/sad and its a longennn! x

When Caleb was dropping Hanna home, there was some awkward small talk, him asking about the girls and her mum and stuff, but all she could think about is, what did she say to him last night? She could have said anything, and she didn't want him to know everything. She immediately went into her kitchen to get an Aspirin and 2 liters of water, thankful that her mum was on a business trip. She would have killed her if she saw her like this.

Later, Hanna had practically slept all day and her hangover was almost gone. She slept from 10am to 3pm straight. When She had showered and she was changed, there was a knock on her door. "Who Is it?" She groaned.

"Its us" Emily said. Shit, the girls are meant to be coming over, Hanna thought. Great. An afternoon with Ali. How fun.

"Hey Han" Spencer said as the door opened.

"Hey guys" She let them in and they all walked into her kitchen.

"Have you been drinking?" Emily asked when she saw the empty bottle of gin and empty glass. Hanna just groaned in reply, rubbing her eyes and getting rid of the empty bottle. "Han, why would you do that?"

"I've got a lot on my mind" She snapped.

"Is this about Caleb coming back?" Aria asked.

"Spencer! You told them?!" Hanna said angrily.

"I didn't know it was some big secret. They were gonna find out eventually" She defended herself. "What happened with him anyway?"

"Um...not much" She replied.

"What do you mean 'not much'?" Emily asked.

"I just mean...we talked..."

"Did you meet at the bar?, did you resolve things?" Spencer started. "Do you know what ha-"

"I stayed at his house okay! Now stop with the questions"

"Wow Hanna, talk about slutting it up" Allison snarked.

"I didn't sleep with him. I was drinking last night and ended up staying at his. Nothing happened" Hanna explained.

"Hanna, he's not good for you. A boy like that can make trouble without even trying" Allison said.

"What kinda trouble?" Spencer said with an eye roll.

"I don't want him interfering with everything thats going on. Now would be a really bad time to make a mistake" Allison said.

"Caleb is not a mistake. He is the most un-mistake thing in my life. And believe it or not Ali, I don't really wanna live my life revolving around you're thousands of lies"

"You have to keep a clear head, Hanna. It's hard to do that when you're kissing somebody"

"So what do you want me to do?" Hanna hissed. "And keep it simple because you know I'm not very smart"

"I'm just saying. He came back to town, you're still in a relationship. Maybe you shouldn't see him any more. He's not good for you" Allison said.

"Ali, you don't know him" Spencer stuck up for her friend. "He loves Hanna and they've always been good"

"Oh really? Didn't you say that he left you for another girl?" She started again, turning from Spencer to Hanna. "That must be Love. Maybe because the other girl was skinnier, but you can always throw it up, you've done it bef-"

"Ali, enough!" Aria stopped her from continuing. Hanna just shook her head and held back the tears that wanted to fall. After all they had done for her, she has no right to tell her what to do and to be rude to her.

"What? Hefty Hanna will always be apart of you. Why don't you go sleep with Travis and go next door and do the same to Caleb"

"You know what Ali, I'm so done with running around after you if you're just gonna control me and treat me like a piece of shit" Hanna said, grabbing her bag and walking to the car. All the girls looked at each other while Allison just had a look of disgust on her face. They had wanted to say that to Ali, but the only one who had the balls to say it was Hanna.

'Knock Knock Knock'

"...Oh, hey Han" Caleb said surprised that she was at his doorstep.

"Hey..." She said sweetly, looking unnatural and upset. "Um...I just thought I should give you this back" She said handing him the shirt she left in this morning.

.."Thanks" He said smiling, watching her awkwardly standing there. "Is that really the only reason you came here?" He raised his eyebrows.

He knows her too well. "No" She sighed, pouting her bottom lip, oh so cutely. "I just really need someone to talk to"

He was about to reply but there was a sound of someone clearing his throat that cut him off. Hanna turned around to see Travis standing in his doorway.
It was probably a good 20 second of Caleb and Travis glaring at each other and occasionally looking towards Hanna. She didn't know what to do, she just stood there, frozen.

"Well this isn't awkward..." She said breaking the silence. Typical Hanna, Caleb thought, laughing inside.

"Hanna what the hell is going on?" Travis said.

"Its not what it looks like-" She began before he cut her off.

"Then what is it?, because what I can see is you giving back a shirt to you're ex boyfriend"

"But nothing happened" She said, walking over to him. "Can we just talk?"

She walked up to him, standing in the doorway of his apartment, feeling Caleb's eyes still on her. If this was the end of their relationship, she's not going to fight for it. She's not in Love with him and she doesn't see a future with him, She just didn't want to hurt him so she wants to tell him the truth. Caleb wasn't really sure what to do, he was going to go back inside to give them some privacy, but he didn't want to just leave her, just in case she needs someone to back her up that nothing happen. As much as he would love it, he didn't want to ruin her relationship. He just stood awkwardly in the doorway opposite them, trying to hear what they were saying but failing.

"Look I know how it seems, but nothing happened, honestly" She said.

"Then explain to me how you ended up having his shirt?"

She sighed before replying. "I was drunk last night and ended up spending the night at his. He didn't do anything, he just took care of me as I threw up and I wanted something comfy to sleep in so he gave me the shirt that I used to always borrow"

"Why would you go to his house and not come here or go to one of the girls?"

"Honestly,...I'm not sure. It's just because he came back and...he just gets me"

"Well I, as you're boyfriend, don't know if I like you sleeping at your ex's house and wanting to talk to him about you're problems"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that you can't see him anymore. You can't talk to him, text him, call him or ever show up here unless you're here for me"

"Are you serous? Are you asking for me to chose between you or him?" She said and he nodded. "Well I don't really like having rules and guidelines to follow so I guess we're over" She said beginning to walk away.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back, speaking louder now, so Caleb could hear. "Are you really choosing Him over Me?"

"Travis, we just don't work. Thank you for making these past few weeks great, but I just can't be in a relationship that I know won't last" She said as softly as she could.

"How could you go back to someone that broke you're heart? He'll just do it again and you won't have anybody then!" Travis practically shouted. Ouch, that hurts, Caleb thought.

"Travis, stop. This isn't about him, this is about you and me"

"Don't lie to me you stupid slut!" He shouted in her face, bringing out the evil side of him that he usually tucks away.

Thats it. I am not going to let you Shout at me, let alone call me a 'Stupid Slut'!, Hanna thought before sapping him across the face.

"Speak to me like that again and I will chop you're balls off" Hanna said watching him hold his red cheek, then walking away back to her car. Caleb couldn't help but laugh what she said and how she slapped Travis. She had defiantly changed and now she wasn't afraid to say or do what she thinks necessary.

Later in the evening, Hanna had spent most of the night crying. Another person in her life hated her. Travis now thinks she's a slut and Allison made her self-esteem really drop earlier.
But she's right. Miranda is nicer and prettier and skinnier than me, and thats why Caleb left me.

She walked upstairs and went into the bathroom and did the thing she hasn't done since Ali was there, before she...'died'. She head taught her how to do it. How to get rid of it all. How to be skinnier. She hated doing it and tears fell as she buried her head in the toilet, much like she had done the night before when she was drunk.

Meanwhile, Caleb sat in his apartment thinking about all that had happened. Hanna broke up with Travis. He knows he should't be happy about this, but he really is. If she didn't belong to someone else, then his job to win her back would be a lot easier. He's kind of won her trust, she had needed someone to talk to and she came to him. Not to her friends, not to Travis...to him. But she looked pretty upset when she came to his door earlier. What was wrong?, He thought. He never had the chance to ask, so he decided to see for himself. She needed him to be there for her in order to trust him.
He got in his car and started to drive to her house.

He knocked on her door, no answer. Again, no answer. Maybe she was out? No, her car is here, and she never leaves her bathroom light on when she goes out. Its the number one rule of the Marin house (Only to her though, her Mum wouldn't care). She leaves it on because 'It makes for some great selfie lighting, so I can't leave it on, just in case the bulb starts to dim'.

"Hanna?" He shouted. "Is anybody home?"

No answer. He was just about to give up and leave but he had a sick feeling. He felt like she needed him and something was wrong. He reached under the plant pot and grabbed the spare key. Once he was inside, he saw the heels Hanna was wearing earlier on the floor, so unless she changed them, she was here. "Han?" He said loudly. Still no answer. When he waked upstairs, he saw Her curled up on the bathroom floor, crying with a tooth brush in her right hand. He knew exactly what she had just done.

"Oh, Hanna" He said running over to her. He crouched down to her level and tried to get her to look at him, but she wouldn't. She was just staring at nothing, shaking, with the saddest expression on her face, while silent tears rolled down her cheeks. He remembered her telling him that she used to do it when she was at her lowest point.
"Han?" He said. She didn't say anything, she just kept staring into space.

He gently lifted her little body and cradled it on his lap. She was shaking and after a while of bottling her emotions, she dropped the toothbrush and completely let herself go, sobbing into his chest, falling on his strong body. Her crying was heart breaking and he actually felt his eyes becoming glassy as he held her close.

"Shhhh...It's okay, Baby...I got you...I'm here" He murmured in her ear as he held her as tight as he could.

10 minutes went by of him holding her, loving the feeling of her being wrapped in his embrace, but hating that she was so broken. She pulled away and looked into his eyes. "...I...I-I didn't...I didn't want to...I...I just couldn't stop it...I needed to...I'm too fa-"

"No Hanna, don't even say it. You could not be further from the truth. You are so perfect and you don't need to do this to yourself. Ever." He continued to stroke her hair. "What made you feel the need to do this? Was it you're breakup with Travis?"

"No. It was Ali. Earlier, she was...she was just saying stuff..." She muttered.

"What kind of stuff? Is this what you were upset about today?" He whispered.

She nodded. "She was just...she was just saying...how...how you left me b-because.." She started to cry even harder.

"Because what?"

"You left me f-for Miranda..b-because she's skinny and pretty...a-and I'm n-not" She whimpered.

"Hanna, you are so so beautiful and I didn't leave you for anyone else. I would never do that. There is no one who could ever replace you in my life. I wouldn't dream of being with anyone else. Don't listen to Allison, she's just messing with you" He said in a desperate tone.

"B-but she was saying h-how She didn't want m-me to see you again...B-but I need you" She let out another sob.

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. I don't care what Allison has said, I won't leave you ever again" He mentally slapped himself. This was all his fault. And Ali's, but mostly his. Allison got into her head and him leaving had caused Her to just...break down.

He held her in his arms for longer and noticed that her breaths and tears had slowed down. His shirt was completely soaked through in the place that Hanna's head was resting. He didn't care the tiniest bit. She pulled away to look at him and he wiped the tears and snot from her face. There was mascara patches and red tear blotches all over her fragile skin. He reached up for a flannel on the side and ran it under the cold tap, without getting up from the floor, still holding Hanna. He wiped it on her face to cool it, and pressed a kiss on her cheek, making her blush furiously.

"Han, if you ever feel the need to do that again, you call me okay?" He said.

"I will"

"I'm serious Han. Its so dangerous and I can't live with myself if something happens to you" He said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

"I promise I won't" She pulled away. "Thank you for everything. Oh yeah, How did you know I was here?"

"The bathroom light" He smiled, and she laughed at him. He always used to make fun of her Bathroom-light-theory. "By the way, I laughed so much after you slapped Travis and told him that you would 'Chop his ball off'" Caleb tried to lighten the mood.

Hanna burst out laughing. "Well he deserved it! I'm not a slut and I hate when guys shout at me. Its bad when girls do it, but guys shouting at me just gets me all...angry"

"I know, I was gonna hit him for you, but you were way ahead of me"

Suddenly Hanna's phone started ringing. She groaned and reached to her bag which she had earlier thrown on the bathroom floor and got her phone out. The number was blocked but she answered anyway, still on Caleb's lap.

"Hello?"

"Hey Hanna" Zack said.

She froze for a minute. "Why are you calling on a blocked number?"

"Well I called you last night, but you didn't pick up and you haven't been answering my texts, so I assumed you're ignoring me" He said sounding angry.

"Um...I wasn't ignoring you"

"Really? You seemed pretty distant at the bar the other night"

"Um..I'm sorry, I have to go" She hung up.

"Everything okay?" Caleb asked when she put her phone down, wondering why her smile had faded into a scared look.

"Fine" She fake-smiled.

He rested his hands on her thighs, as her long legs were draped across him and leaned close to her. "Han, I know every inch of you're perfect little body, so I can certainly tell when you're lying" He said, making her blush.

She bit her lip. "It was Zack" She admitted, staring at the floor. The one who called her yesterday who she called 'her stalker', Caleb thought. "He thinks I'm ignoring him -which is true, so he's started calling me on blocked numbers. Great. And now he's pissed off. Even better. Not only is he angry but he's now 10 times scarier"

"Why do you have to be scared of him?" He asked, skeptically.

"Um..No, I don't. It doesn't matter" She said getting up from his lap but he pulled her back down.

"Hanna" He said slowly. "Be honest with me"

"Its nothing though!"

He just gave her a look which she recognized very well. The 'I'm gonna get it out of you somehow, so you may as well tell me' Look.

"Fine. I'm just a little scared of him sometimes because he doesn't give up so easy. He gets into my car, he comes by the house, he calls all the time. I keep telling him that I'm just not interested, but he doesn't care. He doesn't want a relationship, he just wants sex. I'm just scared he's gonna...you know, get angry and try something. When he's angry, he's scary, and I can't just shout at him and slap him like I did to Travis, Zack isn't like that; that would just make him worse and to want it more"

"Do you want me to talk to him?"

"No! God no. I can handle it. I only told you because you were probably gonna tickle me or something till I do" She said. He used to always do that to her.

"Well I'm not going to let him pressure you into anything. Don't do what he wants. Anyone who only wants you for sex doesn't deserve you" He said, still resting on his hands in her legs, quite high up. He couldn't blame Zack for trying, one look at Hanna and you want her more than anything. But what most guys who check her out don't know is that she has the best personality. Thank god most guys didn't bother to get to know her because then they would see what an amazing person she is, and it would make harder for Caleb to win her back. "You need to eat. What do you want for dinner?" He changed the subject.

"No I'm fine"

"Han, you need to eat"

"I don't think we have much food here. I like shopping but not food shopping and my mum is still away.."

"I'll pick you up some Thai"

"Caleb, you don't have to do that"

"Again, you need to eat."

She looked into his concerned eyes. He looks so cute when he's worried. "Will you stay and eat too?" She asked quietly, kind of embarrassed to ask for company.

"Sure you want me here?"

She nodded. "I do"

He smiled and grabbed her phone and she raised her eyebrows at him as he dialed the number to the Thai takeaway. "Sorry...Habit" He said. She watched as He ordered her meal, not even asking what she wanted and then ordering his.

"You remember?" She said.

"How could I forget? The amount of times I've picked it up for us" He smiled.

"Well I can get it this time then"

"No, no you stay here. I won't be long, and promise me you won't do it again? I don't wanna find you on your bathroom floor again and-"

"Caleb, I'll be fine" She laughed. She got up first from his lap and then he stood up, missing the contact they had when she was curled up in his embrace.

"Okay, I won't be long" He said, kissing her temple quick and walking down the stairs.
