It wasn't at first sight

Chapter 39

Spencer is about to get in bed when the doorbell rings. She grabs her robe and puts it on while going down the stairs. Her heart speeds up as her worry grows, maybe something happened to Toby.

By the time she gets to the front door, she is sure she will find a cop standing out there, one of Toby's coworkers, ready to give her some kind of bad news. She opens the door right away.

Spencer "Hey! It's you..." she feels a huge relief at seeing that it's just Hanna. "You scared the hell out of me, Han!"

Hanna "I'm sorry, Spence. I didn't have my phone to text you before coming over... can you call me a cab, please?"

Spencer looks at her confused.

Hanna "I locked myself out of Caleb's house. I left the key to his place inside with all my stuff, including my phone and the keys to my car and my house"

Spencer "Caleb wasn't home?" she is still confused.

Hanna looks down.

Spencer "What's wrong, Han?"

Hanna "I made a mistake, I shouldn't have showed up at his place just like that"

Spencer "Why don't you come inside?"

Hanna nods and steps into her friend's house.

Spencer "Wanna talk?" she asks after closing the door, while they both go to the living room.

Hanna "Just call me a cab, Spence... I don't want to bother you this late"

Spencer "Don't be silly, Han... Just tell me what's wrong"

Hanna "I think Caleb is getting tired of me"

Spencer notices Hanna's sad eyes. "That can't be true... what made you think that way, Han? Caleb loves you" she shoots Hanna a warm smile.

Hanna "I'm not saying that he doesn't love me... I'm just saying that he is getting tired of hanging out with me so often" she sits down on the couch.

Spencer sits down next to her. "He loves being with you, Han. He said it the other night, when Emily and I were in the kitchen with him, before you showed up in there, he said that you had been stuck to one another since you met and that he loved his clingy Hanna"

Hanna "He said I was clingy? He called me clingy Hanna and you guys didn't say anything to me?"

Spencer "Hey, chill! I'm telling you that he said it as something positive. He said he loved it"

Hanna "Well, he changed his mind then"

Spencer "Tell me what happened"

Hanna "I only came to his place because he wanted to pick me up at my place before and I said no because I was with you and the guys. But he was in a really bad mood when I got there and he told me that I shouldn't have come over. That he was just horny and wanted to fuck, like it was no big deal... that he didn't want to see me so bad anyway, and that I should have stayed with you guys because we had been together earlier today and also the night before and that we didn't have to be together all the time"

Spencer "What a jerk!"

Hanna "Yeah, I know"

Spencer "But still, it is so unlike him... he is not a jerk, he is not like that"

Hanna "Uh huh, I know that too"

Spencer "It's so strange, I don't get why he would say those things to you"

Hanna starts to play with one of her rings, twirling it between her fingers as she stares at it. "He has had a shitty day... I think he just treated me the way he did because he was in a bad mood. But still, when he said that we didn't have to be together all the time, it sounded like he said it seriously. He meant it" she puts her ring back on her finger and looks up at Spencer. "What should I do?"
