A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Welcome to my first Hannily One-Shot of the year and hopefully it won't be the last. I am going to try my very best to keep posting as many one-shots for Hannily as I can.

So, over the passed week I have been watching old but new episodes/scenes from a show called All My Children. I think I have almost watched all scenes with Bianca in them. Bianca is my favourite character on AMC, I hate what they did to her romantic life, giving her someone and then having them cheat or killed off. Anyway, my point is, I set myself another challenge which was to write a story inspired by AMC for all my one-shot stories. This challenge took a few days but today, I finally finished it; which I am quite proud of.

Please enjoy this latest One-Shot of Hannily ~KJ99

Finding Our Way

"Okay, who's ready to perform?" Our music teacher Mr Gates asked walking into the music room. He had set us with a task of either singing or performing something musical to someone else in the room, who he had randomly paired us up with. I was lucky to be paired up with Hanna, I knew everything about her since she is my best friend. However, I had spent the last two weeks watching her and Caleb making out and being a couple in front of me.

Normally I could handle this but these weeks had been tough. I love her, all I wanted to do was tell her but I didn't know how. Especially if it ended up hurting her, that's the last thing I wanted. I watched as a few students volunteered to perform first, but I barely registered it. My mind was focus on my song and whether this was the right thing to do, it felt right but my heart was good at leading me astray. I just couldn't pretend that Hanna was just my friend when she was so much more than that, so much more.

"Thank-you," Mr Gates said breaking me out of my thoughts he then added "We have time for one last person, who's it to be?"

"I'll go," I said speaking up surprising some people.

Mr Gates smiled "Floors all yours Emily," he moved to take a seat. Standing up, I moved to the middle of the floor immediately connecting eyes with Hanna.

"Um...so Hanna is my partner for this assignment, here goes nothing," I say nodding my head at Mr Gates to press play on the CD player. As the sound of vilons began to fill the room, I took a deep breath and looked out at my fellow classmates; no one recognised the tune which was good. Connecting eyes with Hanna once again, she gave me a big smile; almost encouarging. This gave me the confindence to sing the first words.

Emily: "Take me back into the arms I love, need me like you did before. Touch me once again and remember when there was no one that you wanted more." My voice started off shaky because of nervous but by the end of the first sentence it was strong and brave, like I wanted it to be.

Emily: "Don't go, you know you'll break my heart, he won't love you like I will." Singing those words, having them said out loud with Hanna in the room; it felt like a weight was just released from my shoulders. I could see shock of everyone's faces, including Hanna's; as far as everyone knew I liked Caleb. Which was true, he is a good guy and I like him but I can't go on scarficing my heart. It was time Hanna knew and I could accept that she was with him, then finally I would be able to move on.

Emily: "I'm the one who'll stay, when he walks away and you know I'll be standing here still." I gestured down to the floor, stating I wasn't going anyway. That even if Hanna rejected me, doesn't feel the same way as I do; I would still remain her friend.

Emily: "I'll be waiting for you, here inside my heart." Carefully I place a hand over my heart, which Hanna had stolen the minute I had laid eyes on her.

Emily: "I'm the one who wants you love you more." With a deep breath, I step forward. I moved so I could be crouching down in front of Hanna; who was looking at me confused.

Emily: "You will see I can give you everything you need, let be the one to love you more." When I saw a tear roll down Hanna's cheek, I reached out and wiped it away.

Emily: "See me as if you never knew, hold me so you can't let go. Just believe in me, I will make you see all the things that your heart needs to know." Drifting my hand down from Hanna's cheek, I placed it upon her beating heart. I smiled at the feeling of her heartbeat, it was beating, Hanna was alive.

Emily: "I'll be waiting for you, here inside my heart. I'm the one who wants to love you." Standing up from Hanna, I take a few steps back and I slowly begin to sway.

Emily: "You will see I can give you everything you need, let me be the one to love you." As I sung I felt a tear roll down my cheek, I hadn't expected myself to get so emotional. Maybe with singing I was finally learning that Hanna didn't feel the same way for me and that was hurting more than I had expected it to.

Emily: "Some way all the love that we had can be save, whatever it takes we'll find a way." Maybe if I couldn't have Hanna as more, we'd be able to find our way back to being friends. We are best friends after all, Hanna's my best friend in the world and I'd do anything for her.

Emily: "Believe me, I will make you see all the things that your heart needs to know." Never one to give up quickly, I pointed back at myself. Knowing I could give Hanna everything she needed, Caleb could never offer what I could to Hanna. He didn't know her like I do, he didn't understand her the way I do and he doesn't care for her the way I do.

Emily: "I'll be waiting for you, here inside my heart. I'm the one who wants to love you more." I breathed the words out as I felt the shattering of my heart. Looking up at Hanna, I saw tears rolling down her cheek and I had no idea what they meant.

Emily: "Can't you see I can give you everything you need, let me be the one to love you more." With one finale breath, I finished the song just as strongly and bravely as I started. There was nothing I could do now, everything was up to Hanna. She knew how I felt and that's all that matter. I heard Mr Gates stop the CD player as my fellow classmates slowly clap, unsure of what had just happened. As far as they knew Hanna was happily dating Caleb and I was just their best friend, who happened to be gay.

Mr Gates spoke up "That was really great Emily. I didn't know you had that emotional side to you. I think you truly understood this assignment."

"Thanks," I say shrugging unsure of what else to say.

"Okay great lesson everyone, we will pick up again tomorrow with Hanna," Mr Gates said dismissing us just as the lunch bell rung. I watched as my fellow classman picked up their belongs and exited the classroom, excited that class was finished and for lunch. In the matter of five minutes, Hanna and I were the only ones left in the classroom.

Hanna said "We should go to lunch Spencer, Aria and Alison will be wondering where we are. I did hear you Emily, I understand what you were saying in that song. I think I've known how you've felt about me for sometime now, I just need more time."

"Whatever you need Hanna," I say before singing "I'll be waiting for you, here inside my heart." At my singing Hanna instantly let out a smile, which brighten her whole entire face up.

I said "Come on, let's get to the cafeteria. We don't want the girls sending out a search party." Hanna giggled before standing up and we walked side-by-side out of the classroom.

Walking into the cafeteria with Hanna felt different, it felt like everyone was watching me and Hanna asked "Is it just me or are they watching me?"

"You don't think the whole school knows what happens?" I asked back.

Hanna replied with "This school is good at gossip but it only just happened. No, it's just our imagination."

"Right," I say trying to agree with her.

"Come on, there's the girls," Hanna spoke before walking over to the table. Taking a deep breath, I followed behind Hanna; feeling like this lunch was going to be the weirdest one I've ever experienced.

Aria smiled at seeing us "Hey you two."

"Hi," Hanna and I said at the same time.

"Emily, you going to sit?" Spencer asked looking at me weirdly. Breaking out of my daze, I realised Hanna had sat down. Leaving me standing up, like a weirdo.

"Right," I say sitting down next to Hanna.

Alison asked "Are you too okay?"

"Fine," we replied at the same time, automatically recieving weird looks from the girls.

Spencer asked "How was your music class? Is everyone completely tone def?"

Hanna said "Pretty much. Although Emily can sing, I didn't know that until today."

"I can hold a tune," I say shrugging making Hanna scoff.

Hanna questioned me "Are you kidding me? That was more than holding a tune, have you had singing lessons?"

"Oh yeah, when would I have had time for singing lessons. Between swimming and school, there's barely time for work. So, no I've never had a singing lesson."

"Do you know how much more annoying that makes you?" Hanna asked.

"I'm annoying now, you weren't saying that before."

"Oh shut up," Hanna said pushing my shoulder making me gasp in shock.

Within seconds the two of us were laughing, however it stopped when I heard "Hey pretty lady." I looked across at Hanna just in time to see Caleb kissing Hanna's cheek.

"Hi," Hanna said with confliction in her voice.

When Caleb went to kiss Hanna on the lips, Hanna said "Caleb stop, we aren't alone." I watched as Hanna pushed Caleb back slightly, which she had never done before. Afterwards she turned to look at me with apology in her eyes, making me scoffed and roll my own eyes.

Alison asked "Everything okay there Emily?"

"Fantasic," I replied sarcaism oozing through my voice.

Caleb asked "How was music class? Anyone confess their feelings?" At this Hanna and I automatically looked at each other, freaking out and worried that Caleb knew.

Hanna replied with "No, nope. Maybe tomorrow. Everyone was just tone def."

"Expect Emily, apparently," Spencer offered.

Caleb asked "You can sing?"

"Again, I can hold a tune," I say once again shrugging.

Hanna asked "Are we going to have to go over this again? You can more than just hold a tune."

Aria asked "How come we've never heard you sing before Em?"

I replied with "It's never come up before."

Caleb spoke up "You should audition for my band, we are looking for a new lead singer."

"No," Hanna and I replied instantly at the same time.

I say "No sorry, I'm busy with swimming and work. In fact I have to go find Paige, there was something we needed to discuss."

"Emily," Hanna said looking at me, pleading for me to stay.

I speak in code "Your the one who said later. Your the one who wanted to come to lunch. So, that's what we did."

"What the hell happened in that music class?" Alison asked demanding to know what's going on.

"Nothing," Hanna and I said.

Spencer said "Would you stop answering at the same time, it's freaky."

Hanna said looking at me pleadingly "Don't go, your the one who said what you said," she did a gesture making me understand what I said.

"Fine, I'll stay because," I try to think of the right word when Hanna's said "I know why, I understand why."

"Okay," I say releasing the grip I had on my backpack and turning back to a confused eyed table.

Aria asked "Seriously, what happened? Clearly something has happened."

"Oh you don't know the half of it," we heard a voice say. Turning to look I found Izzie, Kelli and Monica standing extremely close to my chair, they were in the music class Hanna and I shared.

Izzie spoke "I can't believe I didn't guess this before, it's so obvious now."

"Agreed," Monica and Kelli said as the three looked over at Hanna. Looking over at my shoulder at Hanna, I shrug not understanding what they were doing.

Kelli said "Anyway Emily, honey," I was surprised along with the rest of the table when Kelli sat down on my lap.

Kelli continued "Don't worry, we all make mistakes."

"Mistakes?" I questioned confused.

"Yeah mistakes," Monica said looking dead straight at Hanna.

Izzie said "But Emily, honey, it is nothing to fret over. It happens to the best of us," as Izzie spoke she run her hands over my arms and leant down to my ear.

Izzie whispered "So, Hanna doesn't love you back. That's okay, there is plenty of other people who love you."

"Like us," Monica whispered into my other ear.

Kelli whispered "We can take care of you, Emily. We can erase that mistake from you completely." When Kelli finished talking, she leant forward and kissed me. In front of everyone at the table, in front of the entire cafeteria and in front of Hanna. I then felt Monica and Izzie kiss at my neck. While this felt good, it felt wrong because they weren't Hanna and they could.

Kelli broke away and said "Not bad, if only you kissed back."

Monica said "I think we can understand why she didn't."

"Completely," Izzie nodded.

"Emily, honey, if you want more of this, of us all you need to do is ask," Kelli said running a hand down my cheek.

Izzie spoke "Here are our numbers, call us when you are ready to move on."

Monica whispered into my ear "Because we know and you do to, she will only ever end up hurting you. She doesn't feel that way about you, but we do."

"Most definitely," Izzie and Kelli agreed.

Kelli spoke "See you soon lover." Kelli pecked my lips before standing off of my lap and the three walked away.

I was left sitting there stunned, did that really just happen. I was offered a foursome and I so did not want it.

Alison asked "What the fuck just happened?"

"Alison," Spencer said at Alison swearing.

Aria reasoned "I'm not one for swearing but I think this time needs it. Seriously, what the fuck just happened?"

"Nothing. Izzie, Kelli and Monica, were just being their normal slutty selves," Hanna said while snatching the piece of paper with their phone numbers on it from my hands.

"Hey, that's mine," I said trying to get them back.

Hanna said "Oh come on Emily, your not seriously going to."

"Why not?" I asked interrupting her. I continued "Why couldn't I? I am a single, avaliable lesbian. Why shouldn't I accept a foursome when it is thrown my way?"

Spencer spoke up "I'm with Hanna on this one. You can't be serious about hooking up with those three."

"I don't remember this being a poll. Last time I checked, none of you have a say in what I do or don't do," I say looking mainly at Hanna.

Hanna said "Emily, they are the biggests sluts in school. They've made their way through every guy and now they want to try it with you."

"So, why should I care? It's just sex. Nothing, teens my age haven't done before. Even you've done it Hanna, so why is it such a big deal for me?"

"Because you haven't," Hanna replied.

Alison questioned "Wait, you haven't. But what about? What was her name, the girl you told me. It started with an M."

"Don't you say Melissa," Spencer said looking at me.

I rpelied with "Melissa is a bitch Spencer, so no I wouldn't even go there."

Alison said "Maya, Maya St. Germain. That's her name, didn't you two sleep together last year. I'm fairly sure that's what you told me."

"Yes, Maya and I did sleep together."

"How come you didn't tell me?" Hanna asked looking at me hurt and with tears in her eyes.

I asked back "Why do you think Hanna?"

"Because of that," Hanna said to which I nod my head.

"I'm your best friend, you should be able to tell me anything."

"And I was going to because of the guilt I felt after it. But then."

"What changed?"

I leaned forward and whispered "You told me Caleb asked you out. I couldn't tell you I slept with someone else and felt guilty because they weren't you."

"That's insane, you do realise that."

"Yes, sometime ago. I did realise how crazy this all was."

Caleb asked reminding me he was still here "Is anyone else confused?"

"Majorly," Aria, Alison and Spencer answered.

Hanna said "I guess your free to sleep with those sluts then."

I asked "So, there's no reason I shouldn't go find them now and set up a time or I don't know find a free supply cupboard?"

"Really classy," Hanna snarked.

"There it is," I say shaking my head.

"I tired but you had to push didn't you."

"What is so wrong with what I said, Hanna?"

"You desevre so much better then them."

"Well, I don't see anyone else offering; do you?" I asked.

"No," Hanna said with a sigh which was join with my own.

With a small smile, I say "I'm going to go find Izzie and the girls."

"To do what?" Aria asked.

"See when they are free," I shrug standing up and putting my backpack on.

Looking down at Hanna, I say "I hope you are happy." I squeeze her shoulder before turning to leave.

Halfway across the cafeteria, I hear Hanna shout "Emily! Wait!"

Turning around I found Hanna serval steps way from me, I asked "Why should I? You said it yourself, there's no one else. So, why should I wait?"

"Because I love you, you idiot."

"What?" I asked in surprise and looking over Hanna shoulder I can see the confusion in my friends eyes.

Hanna said while wrapping her arms around herself like a shield "I didn't know before now until you were walking away, I didn't know."

"You didn't know what?" Caleb asked walking up behind Hanna.

Hanna turned with tears rolling down her cheek "I am so sorry Caleb, I never meant to hurt you."

"So, you what? Love her," Caleb gestured over to me.

"Yeah, I do," Hanna said and even though I couldn't see her, I knew she was smiling uncontrollably.

Caleb cleared his throat "Umm...I guess that clears some things up for me."

"I really didn't know, Caleb."

"It's okay, I just want you to be happy and if that's with her instead of me. Then, that's what will be," Caleb said surprising me.

"I'm sorry," Hanna said.

"It's okay," Caleb said before leaning down to kiss Hanna's cheek.

Caleb stepped around Hanna and walked over to me, he spoke "Do you love her?"

"With every hyper of my being."

"Don't you dare hurt her because if you do, I'll hurt you back even more."

"Understood," I say thinking that was fair.

Caleb said "Now, it's time for me to step out of the way. You two were clearly meant to be together, I was just in the way of that."

As Caleb walked away, I turned and said "Caleb."

"Yeah," he turned back.

"Here, I think you need this more than I do," I say handing him the piece of paper with phone numbers.

Caleb smiled and said "Maybe," he shrugged before walking away. Turning back around, I found Hanna still steps away from me and shield herself with her arms but a mega-watt smile was across her face.

I then sing "I'm the one who wants to love you more."

"I hate to say it but I told you so," I say making Hanna scoff.

I sing again "You will see I can give you everything you need, let be the one to love you more." Closing the distance betweeen Hanna and I, as soon as I finish singing I join our lips together. While kissign Hanna, I pull her in closer to me. My senses feel like they've been set on fire as I feel Hanna's hands run up and down my back, bringing goosebumps to my skin.

When Hanna pulled back, I also pulled back allowing us time to catch our breath. Hanna questioned "Why didn't I see this before?"

"See what?"

"My feelings, how perfect you are for me, as more than just a friend."

"I don't know Hanna. These things just take their time to work out."

"I guess," Hanna said.

"So, now I must ask this very important question."

"What?" Hanna asked confused.

"Hanna Lousie Marin, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes Emily, of course."

"Yes," I say in celebration before leaning forward to peck Hanna's lips.

Hanna then said "Time to face the music," gesturing back to Alison, Aria and Spencer.

"Okay," I say offering my hand to her. Together we walked hand-in-hand, smiles plastered across our faces back over to the table our friends are sitting at.

As we sat down, Spencer asked "Someone want to explain what the fuck just happened?"

"Spencer," Alison mocked making the others smile.

Aria said "Seriously, what's going on?"

Turning to Hanna, I say "You want to explain."

"It'd be my pleasure," Hanna answered as she leant into my arms, which I wrapped around her. For the rest of the lunch period and next class the five of us stayed in the cafeteria, talking about a crazy day this had been. I didn't think that this was how it would end up but I'm glad it did. I'm glad I finally confess my feelings for Hanna.

The End.
