As I walked up to the old, faded house the driveway felt longer than usual. We finally reached the door and Graham was about to knock when I interrupted him.
"Stop. I already know what she's going to say and I don't want to hear it." I said
"So you had the nerve to bring this little brat back here did you?" I mimicked. "Don't bother. She irritates me to death. I'd just love to yank out her long, brown hair and scratch out those horrible, green eyes! Blech!"
"Listen, Hannah. I need to get back to check on Emma-."
"Who's Emma?" I asked.
"She's the woman you found on the side of the road." He walked off leaving me to deal with my own problems. I mean who does that! I thought of turning around and running away again but I knew that wasn't really an option. I walked up to the door and knocked slightly. The figure in the window jumped and ran to the door. When it opened I was drowned in hugs and kisses.
"What did you think you were doing? You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Felicity said. "I mean I knew you were upset but I didn't think you were that upset!" She finally put me down and I got a good look at her face. Her eyes were red and puffy and she was covered in what appeared to be strawberry ice cream.
"Well don't just stand there! Come inside and… and… help me… make breakfast!" She said as she pulled me inside and shut the door. She stopped, turned around, and locked the door. She looked at me then back at the door and double locked it. I rolled my eyes. She pointed to the kitchen. I walked in the kitchen and saw empty strawberry ice cream containers everywhere.
"I was gone for one day, Felicity! One day!" I yelled. She poked her head in the kitchen. I glared at her.
"Don't get mad at me! You're the one who ran away! "
"Is there even any ice cream left? I mean honestly how did you eat all of this in one night?"
"Stop asking questions I don't want to give you the answers to." She sighed. "Just don't ever do that again, okay?" I just stood there waiting for her to leave. "OKAY?" She said through clenched teeth.
"Okay." I said.
After we finished breakfast I asked if I could go over to Henrys house.
"Are you crazy? After what you did you think I'm just gonna let you- who's Henry?" She asked.
"Oh you know just… the mayors kid." I said with a smirk.
"The who in the where with the what now?" she questioned.
"Henry Mills. The mayors kid. Oh well, I'll just go back to my room and-."
"No! I'll take you to the mayor's house." She said with a grin.
When we were in the car Felicity kept looking at me in the mirror.
"So… you and Henry are pretty close, huh?" She asked.
"Yeah, every day after school we… FELICITY!" I scolded. I saw her little game. She wanted all the juicy little tidbits about our "young romance." She was big on "adorable" things like that. For the love of sanity! We were friends! That's it!
"What? I'm just curious. So every day after school you…?"
"Never mind, Felicity. Wait, that's the house right there." I pointed to a white mansion with a red brick path with bushes on either side. The car skidded to a stop.
"That's the house? No way. I'm not dropping you off in there. You could get lost in that huge thing-" She gasped. "Or worse, you could get lost!" She put emphasis on the last bit and glared at me, obviously referencing my escapade last night.
"Well if you're afraid of me getting "lost" then I guess we can go home."
"What-?"
"That's right, home. I'll see Henry tomorrow anyway…"
"No! I'm sure you're smart enough to find your way out. Ha! Well bye." She got out of the car and looked worriedly at the house. "On second thought, I wonder if the mayor has a map."
"Felicity…" I complained.
"Alright alright. You're in good hands. I hope."
"I'll be fine Felicity. And I promise I won't run away." We walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
"Oh Felicity I left something in the car I'll be right back."
"Alright, but hurry up, ok?
"Ok. It'll only take a second." I ran to the car and ducked inside.
I was going to see if Regina always looked that depressed. Of course that's none of my business but I just ran away because I fell asleep in history class. Do you really think I'm capable of following rules?
When Regina answered the door she looked pretty happy. I mean that's not a bad thing but it means she was, in fact, disappointed in me. I came out of the car and walked up to the door. Regina's face fell.
"Hello, Hannah. I hear you want to see Henry?" She forced a smile.
"Um, Yeah if that's ok with you." I muttered.
"It's fine. Come in."
