&Tonight's The Night I'll Fall For You Again

&Tonight's...; Chapter 24 "Moving In,"

Hanna walked in on me and Lily.

"What are you doing?"

"Just talking," Lily said.

"Kale, will you take me home?"

"Sure, baby." I whispered, looking at Lily.

"Kale, she should stay with her sister. We can go back to my place."

"Lily, what are you trying to do?"

"Nothing."

"Take Kale home? You're a fucking slut."

"Hanna--"

"And you," She turned to me.

Oh god.

"You're encouraging it."

"Kale slept with me." Lily shot out.

I saw the hurt in Hanna's eyes. She started to cry. She turned and ran out of the room. I jumped up from my seat.

"Hanna wait--"

"Don't touch me," She snapped as I grabbed her wrist.

"I can explain."

"Don't touch me." She screamed, running out of the hospital.

I ran after her, and I caught up to her, wrapping my arms around her waist. She was crying and screaming.

"Hanna--"

"I hate you!"

"You don't--"

"I hate you, Kale. I hate you!"

"Hanna--"

"I never want to see you again."

"We need to talk--"

"No. I don't want to talk to you."

"I didn't fuck her."

"I don't believe you!"

"I've never lied to you before, Hanna."

"How do I know?"

"Because, you have to believe me!" I screamed, tears dripped down my face.

"I don't!"

"Hanna!"

"Kale, I hate you!"

"I didn't sleep with Lily."

"She just lies for no reason?"

"Yes!"

"I don't understand--"

"She said you slept with someone else! She wanted me to sleep with her to get back at you! I told her I would, but I could never hurt you."

"So, you did do it?"

"No!"

"When did you promise her you would do it?"

"Like 10 minutes ago,"

"You were going to sleep with my best friend?"

"You slept with someone else!"

"I never--"

"You liar!" I screamed at her.

"Kale, I'm a virgin!"

"No you aren't!"

"How the hell do you know?"

"Lily said--"

"And you're going to believe her?"

"She said you were making out with--"

"Kale, you're the first person to ever kiss me. Remember? We kissed a few days ago for the first time."

"Shit."

"I didn't kiss anyone. I didn't sleep with anyone!"

"I--"

"But, you never believe me!"

"I believe you.."

"Now it's too late! I never want to see you again."

"But,"

"Take me home, Kale."

We pulled up in front of Hanna's house. The car ride was silent. The second my car stopped, she jumped out, but I caught her arm.

"I'm sorry that I didn't think."

"I hate you."

"But, I didn't sleep with her!"

"But you said you were going to!"

"But I wasn't going to actually do it!"

"I hate you, Kale."

"You have to listen to me."

"I don't have to do anything."

"Listen to me. I have to tell you something. It's really important."

"What?"

"I don't want you to have to be alone."

"I'm not alone, I have Callie."

"I talked to your grandma, Han. She wants Callie to move in with her."

"Me too?"

"She wants you to live with me."

"I don't want to live with you."

"You can't live alone."

"I'll move in with Lily--wait. I-I-I don't know. I hate you." She cried.

"Please come live with me. Please,"

"I-"

"Hanna, I love you."

"I-I don't know, Kale."

"Hanna, please."

"I don't know."

"Please? You can stay on the opposite side of the house. You don't have to see me. I just want to know you're safe!"

"Fine. I'll get my stuff."
