I couldn't believe it's already summer. It felt like I just got down here to Pennsylvania. 

"Vince, what do you think about going somewhere for a trip?" I said as I jumped into bed and grabbed a pillow.

"And where would we go?" He said pulling off his glasses. He just got them because he's been getting major headaches, and let me tell you. He turns me on ten times more now.

"Maybe we could go tor Maine, you know so you can meet some people up there." I said.

He looked at me and went back to looking at his phone. I jumped on him, sitting on him. "Please!"

He rolled his eyes and nodded. I jumped up and screamed.

I'll be going back to my hometown. It would be amazing!

He ran after me "When do you want to go?" He grabbed me by the waist and stopped me from walking to the kitchen.

"Well, I have to get a job first." I said laughing and picking up the phone. Then right when I picked up the phone, I got a call.

It was an unknown number, so I picked it up to see who it was.

"Spencer, I need to talk to you.", someone said. Then I eventually recognized the voice.

"Where you at Hannah?", I said sighing.

"Outside in the parking lot." I hung up the phone and walked out the door. Vince hollered after me, "Where you going?"

"I'll be back."

************************************

"Hey....", she said as I approached her.

I nodded and said, "So what are supposed to be talking about."

"I understand why your upset....", she said looking down at her feet.

"Well, you just told me not even a month ago you said you were addicted to drugs before. I understand Marijuana isn't a drug... But one step at a time you want to try new things.", I said a little bit louder now.

She just nodded, tears in her eyes. "I know...."

I can't stand to see her like this. So i just hugged her, trying to comfort her more.

****FLASHBACK**** (BTW I NEVER WROTE THIS IN THE BOOK BEFORE.)

"Do you want to know something about me that I never told anyone before?", she said getting serious now.

What don't I know about her?

"I'm addicted to prescription meds..", she said looking at her hands. I covered my mouth from my gasp to come out.

"It takes away everything. My friend Savannah wanted me to try them..."

"Han, are you still using them to this day?"

She nodded and said, "My Dad was addicted once.. I guess it runs through the blood."

I shook my head and put my hand on her shoulder. "I'm going to help you."

She has been looking paler and paler everyday. I am stupid to not notice anything..

*BACK*

"I need help.", she said tears rolling down her cheeks. I didn't say or do anything.

"But all your doing is weed.", I said.

She just shook her head and continued crying. "I'm going to go talk to my parents."

I nodded and gave her a hug. She got into her car and drove away. I just stood there in the empty parking lot. I heard footsteps behind me so turned around to see Vince. He gave me a hug and said, "You did the right thing."

****************************
I drove to Hannah's house about 4 hours later. I politely knocked on the door and waited.

"Oh hi Spencer.", said Loretta (Hannah's Mom)

"Is Hannah home?", I asked.

"She's talking with her father right now, but you can come in and wait.", she said opening the door more so I could go in. I nodded and stepped into the house. I sat on the couch and Loretta sat in the recliner.

"I really appreciate you helping her through this. It's been one heck of a ride these past years.", she said looking me straight in the eyes.

"Is she going to a rehab?", I asked looking around to make sure nobody else was listening. She nodded and said, "She'll be there all summer."

Hannah walked our of the kitchen and said, "Spencer, what are you doing here?"

I stood up and walked over to her. "I need to talk to you." She nodded and we both went up into her room.

"When you go to Rehab, I'm going to visit you like 1000909089379478 times.", I said smiling at her.

She just laughed and said, "I'm glad that you are here for me."

"Where else would I be?", I said hugging her.

-----------------

We were up in her room until 7:00 P.M.

Vince texted me,

V: "Hey everything all right?"

S: "Yeah, just catching up. She's going to Rehab tomorrow."

V: "I think I found a job you might want to check out."

S: "Definitely, I'll be home soon."

V: "I'll be a work then. But I'll see you in the morning. I love you Spencer."

S: "I love you Vincent."

Hannah and I heard a car come into her driveway. It was dark so all we could see was the headlights. We walked down the stairs and somebody knocked on the door. Hannah ran over and answered it.

It was Sam.

"Sam, I don't want you to be here right now.", Hannah said as she started to close the door.

He looked fucked up. Like it was bad.

"Babe, please we need to talk.", Sam pleaded.

"Your a bad influence Sam. You need help, just like me.", she said mercifully.

Loretta walked out of the kitchen and walked up to the door. She pushed Hannah away and said, "You will be going then." Then shut the door in his face.

As soon as he left I walked over to Hannah. "Hey I'm going to leave. I'll be back tomorrow."

She nodded and gave me a hug. I walked out of the door and walked to my car. I turned it on and drove back home, it seemed like a nice night. So I decided to go to the lake and sit on the docks. It was a full moon and it was shining on the lake. It was beautiful.

I took a deep breath, it's been one hell of a year here in Pennsylvania.



There is more to come.
