Easily Broken {Waterloo Road}

Hannah was finding things hard. She knew how she was lying to Charley. And she knew how Charley was the only one who had been there for her and she hated it. But Hannah knew the last thing she wanted to do was hurt her sister.

Hannah sat in the kitchen as she sat playing with a bowl of cereal. She sighed as she pushed it away. Rachel walked in and frowned. "Are you okay?" Rachel asked.

Hannah nodded. "I'm fine. I'm tired and I'm not really hungry," Hannah said.

Hannah knew how things were. She knew she felt like she was the worst person ever. She was lying to all of those who she loved. And she knew that she didn't want to lie to them. But she knew it was for the best.

Rachel frowned. "You don't look the best. Look, maybe you could take the day off and get some rest?" She said.

Hannah smiled slightly. "It's okay. I don't need to. I'll be fine," she said. Knowing how it would look if she stayed off.

How she didn't want to draw anymore attention to herself after everything that had been going on. Hannah hated it. But she knew she was trying to figure out what to do for the best.

Hannah sat in the common room after she got to school. She was feeling dreadful. She looked up as Charley walked in. She smiled. "Are you okay? Mum said you weren't feeling well. And you do look a little off," she said.

Hannah looked to her and smiled. "I'm okay. It's just my time of the month coming up I guess. And I feel drained. I'll be okay," Hannah said.

Charley looked to her and nodded. "If you weren't okay, you know you can always talk to me. I'm your sister and I'm here for you no matter what," she told her.

Hannah nodded and smiled. "I know that. But it's okay. There's nothing to worry about. Mum and I have sorted out our issues. And I'm settling in here. It'll be okay," Hannah said.

Charley nodded as she looked at her. Charley knew that things were hard. And how she was trying to be there for Hannah. But she couldn't help worry that there was something going on with Hannah still.

She couldn't help but worry knowing how much that Hannah had been through. "Okay. I'll leave you to it then," Charley said as she walked off.

Hannah sighed knowing how things were going to get more complicated.

Hannah walked into Tom's classroom. She looked to him. "I need to talk to you," she said.

Tom frowned. "What is it? I told you we need to keep our space," he told her.

Hannah rolled her eyes. "This is more important than Charley finding out. She probably will now," Hannah said.

Tom looked to her and frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm pregnant. And there's a high chance that it's yours," Hannah said as she held up the positive pregnancy test.

She knew there was another guy that could have been the father. But she knew that she was screwed either way. And she had no idea what she was going to do.
