All I did was stare at him. How does he expect me to answer that question? I don't really even know what love is. yes I have strong feelings for him but I'm just not sure.

"I....umm....I can't answer that"

"Can I ask why?" He says

"Because I don't know how I feel"

"Hannah, I'm pretty sure you know how you feel"

"Well I did. Until someone decided to be a dick face and yell at me. Now I'm not to sure" I say coldly

"Ok look. I don't know how many times I have to apologize for you to believe me but i am truly sorry. I know I screwed up and I know I hurt you. But sometimes people need to fuck up to realize that the people who they hurt are the ones that really matter"

There was a long silence between us. I was letting what he said sink in. But it was true. I never realized how real my feelings where for him until now. I know I shouldn't....but I believe him. Just the look in his eyes lets me know.

"Come with me" I say walking past him grabbing his arm and dragging him with me to my car.

"Hannah please I just want to talk" he says stopping.

"And that's what we are going to do. Now get in the damn car or go home"

"Jeez ok, ok" he says getting in the passenger door.

I'm taking him to the spot me and my mom used to go to when I was little. I haven't been there in a while. Well 3 or 4 years to be exact. After she left I never went back because I never had a reason to. But now I want to show austin. To show him a place where he can go to be alone.

"Can I ask where we're going?" He says after a while.

"Just wait we're almost there"

A few more minutes pass and I pull into the small drive way. I stop and we both get out.

"Follow me" I say going into the woods.

"Your not going to kill me are you?" He says pretending to sound scared.

"Yes. Defiantly...." I say sarcastically.

We continued to walk until we finally reached the lake. The sun was setting so it was kind of chilly. But the sky was a beautiful Pink and yellow with purple clouds (picture attached). This place hasn't changed much. Well besides the trees getting older and the grass is taller. I drag him over to the little bench that my mom brought over here a long time ago. I'm honestly surprised it's still here.

"Wow. How did you find this?"

"This is where my mom used to bring me. Just me and her. We used to come here and talk about everything. Back before she left, I was just getting into high school and having boy drama. Well she thought I was anyway. And we used to talk about my future and she used to tell me how proud she was of me. But I haven't been here in a few years because I couldn't come alone."

"Why did you bring me here? I thought you were mad at me?" He says scooting closer to me.

"I'm mad at myself more than you austin"

"Can I ask why?" He says softly.

"Because I feel like I ruin everything in my life and once one thing goes good I have to ruin it to"

"What are you talking about?"

"Me and you austin! I feel like I'm ruining everything between us because you we're mean to me one time and I don't want to forgive you. I'm just so used to people getting close to me and leaving I just feel like that's what everyone is going to do." I say starting to cry.

"Hannah please don't cry" he says wiping a tear from my cheek. "No matter what happens between us I'm always going to be here for you. Honestly...... you could shoot me and I would still be here for you. I may not like you as much as I do now but I would still be here." He says making me giggle a little.

"I guess there for a few weeks when you didn't talk to me I just felt like I messed everything up but I didn't know what I did. I just figured the feelings weren't mutual you know? I just thought you felt sorry for me."

"I'm sorry for that to. I should have never done that to you.but I was in the same situation as you. I didn't want you getting to close because I didn't wanna ruin everything. But I guess I realized I'm better off with you than without you" he says looking off in the distance then looking back at me.

"I'm starting to realize that to."

"You know....this place reminds me of you" he says looking down at me.

"Really? How so?"

"It's very beautiful." He says pushing a hair out of my face.

"Wooooooow cheesy much??" I say hugging him.

"Yeah, I guess it's my best quality" he says hugging back.

"So are we ok now?"

"Of course. And I promise I will never hurt you again. And I mean that"

"Well I'm glad" I say taking his hand and dragging him back to the car.

I guess being mad and holding a grudge against some doesn't always solve your problem. But Having long talks and mending a broken heart might help. And tonight, we did both. So to answer his question I'm not sure if I am in love with him.....but I sure as he'll know I'm am falling in love with him.
