New Found Paradise

Chapter 13- Confessions and Fun Sessions

*Sammy's POV* 

Hanna and Nate went out to grocery store. So I took this opportunity to try to talk to Cheyenne. I walk in and she's in the same position just staring at the wall. I start by leaning against the door frame. She didn't notice so I sat on the floor in front of her. We made eye contact for about 4 seconds until she turned to face the other wall. So I just started rambling on hoping she was listening. "So...Hanna and Nate been getting close lately. You think there's a connection there?" No response. 

*Cheyenne's POV* 

'Yeah.' I thought to myself in response to Sammy's question.

*Sammy's POV*

"God I hope so, he won't shut up about her." I chuckle nervously, scratching the back of my neck. Nothing. Again. "But I haven't really noticed her... there's someone else I've had my eye on," I start. "she's beautiful, smart, confident. I could go on and on about her." I continue. Nothing. "Her boyfriend of 5 years just recently broke up with her. And she's falling apart before my eyes." I try to hint that it's her, but i don't think she's listening. I continue anyways, hoping she is. "I wish she knew how strong she truly was," I say looking down. "I wish she knew that I'm completely in love with her." I walk out of her room feeling relieved. Like a weight has just been lifted off my shoulders. 

*Cheyenne's POV* 

Is this how Sammy really feels about me? Have I been misreading him this whole time? I thought he just wanted to hook up. He didn't seem like the type to keep a relationship. I can't keep beating myself up like this. I'm stronger than I think I am. If Landon wants to end things like this, after 5 years, after all the things we've been through, over text, then he's not the person i thought he was. Nor the person for me.  (A/N Pause music here - if you want)

*Hanna's POV* 

Nate's so hot. I've been flirting non-stop, but I don't know if he's flirting back or just being friendly. "I'm tired, I'm gonna sit in the cart." I whine. "Okay, whatever you want." Nate says with smirk. He didn't even wait 'till i sat down to start running around the store like a crazy person. Knocking things over and pushing the cart-with me still in it- into a display of toilet paper. "That's it you're dead." I shout at him. I start chasing him around the store until I had a nice run-in with the manager...

*Nate's POV*

It was so hard not to laugh when the manager was yelling at us. Calling us 'no-good rebels' and saying we have 'no hope'. I was gonna piss myself. 

*Sammy's POV*

I was a bit startled when Hanna and Nate come in laughing so hard they couldn't breathe. And with no groceries. "Hey guys, where's the food?" I ask annoyed. "Funny story, but not tonight. I'll tell you in the morning. Night guys." Hanna says, kissing Nate's cheek.
