Leave Me Alone - Michael Jackson

Here's the next chapter. I have a feeling that many people are going to be mad with me. Although I won't know since I don't get that many reviews for this story anymore. Review and tell me what you think. Not many chapters left kiddos. Let me know your thoughts.

Hannah couldn't sleep. She was just so excited. All she wanted was to pack up all of her things into the car and hop on the plane to New York. Reid was going to be there too which only added to the anticipation. She had been up for two hours already, and Reid was supposed to be there and ready to go. He must have had a long night at the party he went to with the guys last night. That only meant one thing. She had to go and wake him up. That was going to be a challenge all in itself. He might have even had a hangover, the first one in months.

Triple-checking the few bags that she was going to be taking with her, Hannah grabbed her card and started towards Reid's room. Would he even open the door if he was passed out? She had lost the key he had given to her a few weeks back. She swore that she had it with her at all times, but somehow she had misplaced it. She would have to look for it when she got back.

The closer she got to his room the more excited she became. Each minute that passed her by was another minute in which they would be closer to getting to New York. There was absolutely nothing that could mess up her day. Hannah stood before the door and knocked loudly on the door, bouncing up and down on her toes. The door knob twisted open and a woman with dark hair stepped out into the hallway, wearing a Springfield Swimming shirt. Hannah froze. What? Did he? Did they?

"Kelsey?" Hannah chocked after a very long, awkward pause. "What are you-where's Reid?"

"He's unavailable right now," Kelsey answered with a smile. Hannah shook something that did not go unnoticed to Kelsey Verona. "He had a very long and tiring night last night. I think you should let him rest up."

"Um…" Hannah couldn't think straight. What was happening? Was this all a horrible nightmare? If so, she could wake up at any moment now right? "Could you-could you just tell him I'll see him next week?"

"Sure," Kelsey took a step back into Reid's room. "Have fun wherever it is you are going."

"Thanks," Hannah watched Kelsey vanish back into her boyfriend's room. Her heart fell to the floor, tears fell from her eyes, and not caring who saw her, Hannah ran back to her room as quickly as she possibly could.

Kelsey smiled when she closed the door. The sobs she heard echoing from down the hall made her heart flutter. She had finally done it! She beat Hannah Davis and got the guy. Looking at the blond before her, Kelsey padded over to the bed and grinned. Reid Garwin was one fine piece of man. That was for sure.

"Reid, wake up," she whispered, running her fingers through his fine hair. Something she had wanted to do for such a long time. "Reid."

"Five more minutes." He flipped over.

"It's nine-thirty. Don't you have something to do today?" Kelsey continued on.

"No."

"Hmm, I thought there was something you had to do. Go to the gym, go swimming, get on a plane to New York-"

"Fuck!" Reid bolted up into a sitting position, eyes widening when he saw who was sitting beside him. "What the hell are you doing in my room? How the hell did you get in here?"

"You don't remember? You gave me the best night of my life last night, Reid," she answered. "Don't tell me you can't remember it. That hurts me, Reid."

"I didn't sleep with you last night," Reid threw his covers to the side, sliding on a pair of jeans and a clean t-shirt. "I didn't drink that much. I have to go see Hannah-"

"Don't worry about her. I told her that you were busy," Kelsey interrupted.

"What do you mean? She was here?" he panicked.

"Not even ten minutes ago," Kelsey answered. "She was looking for you, but you were sleeping, so I told her that you were busy."

"Shit, shit, shit," the blond shouted. Hannah saw Kelsey come out of his room. Hannah saw Kelsey in his swimming shirt. His heart broke at the thought of what her reaction was when she saw her. His phone buzzed from the desk. "The alarm! I'm late!" He and Hannah were supposed to be leaving for the airport now. Maybe if he ran he could catch up with her and explain. She would believe him wouldn't she? Hannah knew he wouldn't do anything so low right?

"Don't even try, Reid. She won't be able to stand looking at you. Face it. You lost her."

"That's what this whole scheme was about wasn't it? To split us up?" he asked.

"You're smarter than you look. Yes, that was my plan, and as you can see I have succeeded."

"Why? What did you have to gain from this?"

"A man like you needs someone much better than that poor bitch," Kelsey told him. "She's not even in your league."

"And you are?" Reid wanted to punch something. "You're wrong, and to be honest, yeah she's not in my league because she can do so much better than me, but she still loved me. But after that stunt you just pulled, she'll probably never talk to me again. Does that make you feel good? Does it? You make me absolutely sick. Get out of my room. Now!"

"You can't-"

"Now!" Kelsey shrieked as books flew towards her. "And I better not see you near me or Hannah ever again!" Kelsey sprinted out of his room and down the hallway. Thank God! Now he had to find Hannah and explain everything. Hopefully he wasn't too late.

Hannah couldn't feel anything when she reached her door. Her entire body was numb. She slammed the door shut and sunk to the floor, crying her eyes out.

"Hannah, what's wrong?" Lexi jumped off her bed, kneeling down beside her friend. "Hannah, talk to me. Tell me what's going on."

Shaking her head, Hannah continued to cry. Lexi helped her to her feet and over to her side of the room. Hannah would have to put all of the horrible images in the back of her head until she go back from her audition. Her plane was going to leave in two hours.

"I can't talk now, Lexi. I need to leave," she pulled on her coat.

"Hannah, clearly something has made you upset. Tell me."

"Reid, all right. Kelsey was in his room. Happy?" Hannah glared at her best friend. "Please, I need to go."

"Oh Hannah," Lexi sighed, hugging the sobbing woman. "Everything's going to be fine."

"How is everything going fine? I loved him! I gave him everything, and I thought he loved me too. Obviously I was just another conquest for him after all. Why does this always happen to me?"

"I don't know why," Lexi answered. "I told you he was a bastard, but you didn't listen to me."

"I know. I'm sorry," Hannah pulled back from her, looking angry now. "What the hell is his problem?"

"Wow that was a quick change. You are a hormonal mess. PMSing there, Hannah?" Lexi joked. "It's even worse when you learn your boyfriend is a complete douche bag."

"I'm not PMSing, Lexi," Hannah mumbled. "I haven't had my period in-holy shit."

"Hannah, are you saying you could be pregnant?" Lexi asked.

"I can't deal with this, Lexi!" Hannah exclaimed. "I'll have to deal with it later. I really need to leave."

"OK, ok. Just, go to New York and take a test. Call me when you know the results," Lexi told her. "Everything will be fine."

"I will," Hannah grabbed her bag, opening the door. "Thanks for being there for me. I'll see you when I get back."

"Take care," Lexi waited until Hannah left the room before pulling out her phone, dialing a certain number. "You're never going to believe this."

"Hannah, we need to talk. I know you're on your way to New York, but please call me when you get settled in," Reid hung up his phone for the twelfth time that day. "I fucked up."

Devon barged into their room. "What the fuck did you do?"

"Devon, trust me. It's not what you think," Reid said. "I didn't do anything with Kelsey. I swear."

"How am I supposed to believe you, you little shit? Why would you do that to her? After all that she has been through!"

"Devon, please I would never do that to her. You have to trust me!" Reid cried.

"Why? Why should I?" Reid opened the drawer beside his bed and tossed the box to his friend. "You're serious? Marriage is a huge step, Reid. You've been together how long?"

"Seven months," Reid answered. "I know it's not that long, but I've never been so sure about anything in my life, Dev. I love her so much. Hannah's the reason I wake up in the morning."

"I trust you," Devon threw the velvet box back to the blond. "You'll get her back. She's crazy about you."

"I'm hoping. If she doesn't, I don't know what I'll do. I guess I'll just have to wait until she gets back."

The flight was much longer than Hannah thought it was going to be. She stared out the window the entire way, putting up with the snoring old man beside her. Grabbing her bag from the overhead compartment, Hannah silently exited the rowdy audience on the plane and into the nearest taxi. Giving the driver the name of her hotel, she watched the billboards and street lights pass her by. This was not what she imagined the trip to be like. Not at all.

"Your hotel, miss," the cab driver parked at the entrance of the hotel. Seeing all of the other women who looked like they were there for the same reason as her, she paid the man and entered the grand building.

"Checking in?" an elderly man smiled at her from behind the desk.

"Yes, Hannah Davis."

"Davis. Davis. Ah, here we are," he said, clicking away on the computer. "Here for the auditions as well, I take it."

"Yes, sir," she signed in. "Um, could you tell me where the nearest drugstore is?"

"Sure, head out the spinning doors, turn left, and you should see a nice big sign. You can't miss it," he handed Hannah her key. "Good luck tomorrow as well, Miss Davis."

"Thank you very much," Hannah smiled kindly at him, heading up to her room.

She was pacing back and forth in front of the bathroom. She had never thought five minutes could take this long. Her heart was racing, and her hands were sweating like crazy. At the sound of her phone buzzing, signaling that the five minutes was over, Hannah picked up the test that was on the counter, falling to her knees, she cried.
