You Are All I Need To Get Me Through

Chapter 14

After finally settling down in Hannah's bed for the night, the pair cuddled up. Paul was just drifting off to sleep when Hannah whispered to him.

"Paul. How d'you think they're gonna react when we tell them?" Hannah asked, sounding worried. "The rest of the band, I mean."

Paul shifted so that he could see Hannah properly, making eye contact with the blonde.

"I don't think they're gonna be that surprised. I mean, we've always been pretty close." Paul shrugged.

"Yeah, but I mean... Do you think they'll be happy for us? Or will they think we're making a mistake and jeopardising the band? I mean, technically, we're not even supposed to date. It says in our contracts, no relationships between band members." Hannah stated, her eyes going wide as she suddenly realised something. "What happens when Simon finds out?! He's not going to be happy. What if he..."

Paul cut off her rambling by pressing a kiss to her lips.

"Relax, Han." Paul soothed. "The rest of the band won't care as long as we're happy. Us being together isn't going to change anything. And once we've got the other five on board, telling Simon will be easy. They'll back us up. And anyway, we don't need to tell him just yet. Okay?"

Hannah nodded. "Okay. Thanks Paul. Sorry about that."

"It's alright Han. You're just worried. To be honest, I am too. But they're our friends and they'll support us if this is what we want to do." Paul reassured her, before having a sudden moment of doubt. "This... This is what you want, isn't it Han? I mean, us, together."

"Of course it is!" Hannah chuckled. "I wouldn't be here otherwise."

To back up her point, Hannah stretched to kiss Paul lazily, pulling away and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Night, Pauly. Sleep tight." She murmured.

"Night, Han. Sweet dreams."
