Hanna, come now. Now.
- Mom.
Hanna's jaw dropped as she read the new message. She hadn't spoken to her mother since she kicked her out of the house almost 2 weeks ago. Within that time, Hanna had crashed with Caleb, but the pair soon decided to move in together. They wasted no time and bought an apartment 2 days later. Hanna's mom had no way of knowing that the couple had done that. Unless…'A'?
"Hey, I got you some ice-cream," Emily said, handing Hanna a plastic bag as she walked out of Rosewood's local superstore. She noticed the stunned look on Hanna's face. "What?"
"My mom's decided to text me," The blonde said, passing her friend the phone so she could see for herself. "What the fuck does she want?"
"Are you going to go?" Emily asked, sounding slightly concerned. She knew how stressed and upset the situation with her mother had made Hanna – Emily didn't want any more added unto that.
Hanna hesitated for a moment before answering. "I guess I should go and see what she wants. But I swear, if she's going to kick me out of Rosewood as well as her house…"
"Bye, Hanna," Emily said, smiling. She waved as she turned around and headed back to her own house, leaving Hanna wandering off by herself.

Hanna took a deep breath before opening the front door of the Marin house. It was the first time she had been inside in 2 weeks, and it somehow seemed different, although she couldn't place it.
"Hanna, is that you?" Her mother's voice frightened her; it came come out of nowhere. Heels clicked along the kitchen floor and soon Ashley was standing right in front of her. "You got my text, then."
"Clearly," Hanna muttered. She was still trying to work out why the house seemed so different. "Why am I here?"
"There were a couple of things I needed to talk to you about," Ashley gushed. "First of all –"
"Hold up," Hanna interrupted. "Can I at least sit down before you start droning on?"
The red haired woman shook her head. "This won't take long, believe me. Right, as I was saying. First of all, I want to know where you are currently staying."
Hanna let out a laugh. "Yeah, like I'm telling you that."
"I am still your mother, Hanna. Anyway, the second thing is all your stuff is in boxes out there," she pointed to the kitchen. Bingo. That's what seemed so different; all of Hanna's things had been taken down. "I figured since you wouldn't be living here anymore, you would want it all back. I even took the courtesy of cleaning out your bedroom."
"You shouldn't have," Hanna mumbled sarcastically. Her mother shot her a glare but didn't say anything.
"Finally, your father called," The blonde shot up. "I told him about your…situation"
"You what?" Hanna screamed. She had no right to go behind Hanna's back and tell her father. Her father of all people! "You fucking what?"
Ms. Marin had a slight smirk on her face. "He wanted to know how you were, I told him you had moved out and he asked why. I wasn't going to lie to him."
Hanna, outraged, marched into the kitchen, picked up as many boxes as she could carry and stormed out of the back door. She purposely left it open – it always used to anger her mother.
As the blonde trudged down the street, weighed down by crates of her things, her phone buzzed. She stood still and pulled it out of her back pocket.
Poor Hanna. First Daddy abandoned you, now Mommy has to! Who's next?
Kisses – A
Was 'A' referring to Caleb? No, they couldn't be. Caleb wouldn't leave, would he?
"Han!" A voice called as a car drove past. It was Aria's Audi S5, and she was sticking her head of the window. "Need some help there?"
AN - I'm so sorry for posting the wrong chapter. It turns out I posted chapter 17 as chapter 15 which is why they ended up being the same. Sorry! I've deleted all 3 so I can post them correctly this time. Also, sorry it took me so long - I've been on holiday!
Anyway, make sure to review and give your suggestions for names and genders! I love you all.
