Hannah's POV:

A couple weeks went by, and they were extremely long, and getting unbearable. Jimmy and I barely talked, we only said hi, good morning, and goodbye. It was awkward.

After I got home on a Friday, I texted Chandler, asking him to come over, and it was important. 

Chandler came over in a quick time, carrying ice cream with him. "I had a feeling it was going to be a conversation that needed this." 

Why couldn't I be in love with Chandler instead? 

We sat next to each other on the couch, and finally broke down to Chandler.

"I can't keep doing this anymore. He's acting like nothing happened, and I feel like he is ignoring me. This isn't good for me, I am always sad and in my head. I think I'm going to find a new job, Chan Chan."

"NO. NO, please don't do that. We need you! You can't leave us. We have been so in order at the warehouse with you coming along. You are basically the backbone. Please don't go, for me?" He pleaded, giving me those damn puppy eyes.

"Can I think about it this weekend, then? I just need something to change. I can't do this everyday. It crushes my heart. I can't get over him, Chan Chan." I cried.

"I know, I know. Maybe you should go on a date with someone else? That would help." He suggested.

"I only know you guys at the warehouse, I don't know anybody." I told him.

"We all know if you asked Bailey to go out, he would drop everything he was doing and come here immediately. Maybe let him take you to dinner?"

I pondered it for a bit, and finally decided to give it a go. I pulled out my phone, and started typing a text to Bailey. "What are you doing tomorrow night? Do you want to get dinner or something?" I hit send. Not even a second later, I got a response.

"Yeah! That would be awesome. Can I pick you up tomorrow?" He asked.

"Yeah that would be great, pick me up around 5?" I responded, texting him my address.

 "He's picking me up tomorrow and going to dinner." I told Chandler.

"See! I told you. You need it, get some of your confidence back, and have a good night out. You are a queen." Chandler said, and starting doing the Uganda knuckles clicking, like that meme.

"Get out" I laughed, as he keep doing it. "Do you kno de way?" He said.

--------------------------------

The next night rolled around, as I got ready to go out to dinner with Bailey.

I didn't feel excited. I didn't get those butterflies like I did with Jimmy asking to just get ice cream with me.

I pushed those thoughts out of my head, when I heard a knock on my door, and I opened it, seeing Bailey at my door with flowers. 

"Hi Hannah!" He smiled, "I got these for you." I took the flowers from him.

"Thank you, Bailey, these are beautiful. Let me go set these down and we can go."

After I set them on the counter, we walked out to his car. I thought he would open my door, but instead walked around the car, and went to his side. Okay.

He started driving into town, and he started talking, "If you don't mind me asking, what happened with you and Jimmy?"

"I would rather not talk about that if that's okay." I told him truthfully.
