The Only one
Chapter 17
Hanna
Ryan just pulled up infront of Bex's house. I haven't talked to her since that day at the beach, and I'm kind of nervous...
"Are you sure you're okay?" Ryan asks as I grab my bag from the back of his car.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, thank you for bringing me."
"You're welcome..." He says and pecks me on the cheek. I get out of the car, slowly walking up to the door.
I hesitantly knock on Bex's door, an action I never pursue, but at this point in time, I can't really just walk in the door...
Bex slowly opens the door and looks extremely surprised to see me standing here.
She opens her mouth to say something, but shuts it again and pulls me into a bone crushing hug and bursts into tears.
I immediately hug her back and smile at her. "I'm so sorry, B, I'm so sorry about everything."
She shakes her head, and almost whispers an "it's alright," until bursting into larger sobs.
I let her cry for a while, embraced in my arms, until she's all out of tears.
We sit down on the couch, and my best friend looks to me. "I'm sorry, Bex. I was immature, and I overreacted, and I- I'm so sorry!"
"Han, for the seventh time, it's alright! I understand where you're coming from and we should've told you." B says.
"So- so how have things been...? I ask awkwardly.
She gives me the eye, "Well, you know, same old, same old, until today that is. Look, I'm so sorry about your ..."
I really don't wanna talk about my dad! Or Bex's brother, I don't want to start crying...again.
"Please, don't." I say. "How're things with TJ?"
"Good, I guess, he's away right now though with his brother."
"Oh." Is all I say. I feel bad that I don't know this- he IS my best friend after all.
"Yeah, so how's Ryan? I heard about you two, ya know. Congrats by the way. I know you've been dreaming about this for ages."
"Thank you," I say sincerely. "He's been really great."
"So when are you leaving?" She asks. I knew she'd ask, but I feel so bad.
"Tomorrow night. I leave tomorrow night."
"Wowzers. So you're going to Tulsa, is it? Then Boston and South America, and then back to Boston. Wow. When are you going to be home?"
"I don't know, I really don't. I know that the Overstreet's, Follese's, and Keaggy's live in Tennessee, so there's not too much here. But they have a lot of shows here, so we'll be back often." I smile.
"Good. I can't stay that long without you again. Do you know what you put me through?!" Bex asks. "And it was like- it was like you didn't care! Like you didn't care that you were moving on without me, and making new friends." She explains.
"I'm so sorry, Bex. I feel so bad! I never stopped caring, I was just so hurt, and I was ready to talk about it."
"Look, I get it, I get why you did what you did and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry we didn't tell you." She says. I'm so sick of these apologies.
I just smile at her, and in the matter of seconds, she asks me, "So did you see the latest married to Jonas?!?!"
I look at her with a look on my face saying, 'are you kidding me?!' Then I say, "Of course I did!!!!"
