Pacify Her

Chapter Three

Vic's POV

I drove away as fast as I could to get away from Hannah's house. Why was Jaime's date there? Maybe they're friends. I don't know but I don't Danielle finding out about her.

We got to the restaurant and pulled out of the car. Sam got a text and looked at me weirdly. Maybe she know. Oh god she knows. She better not tell Danielle or Jaime or I'll be toast.
We got inside and sat at our table.
"So Jaime, how did you two meet?" I asked, referring to Sam.
"We met at the mall." Jaime said before she could say anything.
"Yeah we bumped into each other and got to talking." Sam excused herself walking away. Danielle tried to grab my hand but I stood up and walked in her direction.
"Sam!" I called out.
"What do you want Vic?"
"What were you doing at Hannah's house?"
"She's my best friend. She let me borrow this outfit." I knew that dress looked familiar.
"Oh."
"Vic what are you trying to accomplish with her? She's convinced you two are in love. If you hurt her I swea-"
"I do love her! But I think I love Danielle too."
"Well you better make up your mind soon. If you hurt her I swear I'll tell Danielle."
"Fine."
She walked back to the table and apologized for taking so long. What am I going to do now?

Hannah's POV

I arrived at work the next day. I was the manager at American Eagle. Not an exciting job but it's pays the bills so I'm not complaining. I said and sat down in the back. I talked to Vic last night and he said he had to talk to me and that he'd meet me here.
About an hour into my shift, Vic texted me, telling me he's in the second dressing room. I smirked and walked to the dressing area. I knocked on the door and I heard him jump to the door. He opened it and immediately I pushed him back against the wall. I heard the door click shut and kissed him roughly. He slid his hands up my shirt slightly. He moved down to my neck as I bit my lip. He pulled away after I let out a quiet moan.
"I really think we need to talk."
"What about?"
"You know I love you." I nodded, signaling him to continue. "But I also love Dani-"
"Stop! You don't love her. Stop lying to yourself!"
"Calm down Ha-"
"No! She's getting on my nerves. You don't love her! You loved her. Past tense. And then you said you love me."
"I thought you were okey with this."
"What's this?"
"Our little secret."
"I don't want to be a secret anymore! I love you Vic! God damn what is wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry I love you too. If I knew how to leave her I would."
"All you have to do is tell her you don't love her anymore. She'll leave. Please." I said with tears running down my face.
"I-I can't."
"Fine." I whispered and walked out.
I wiped the tears away and smiled. It's fine. He'll realize I'm the one he loves. Soon.

We didn't talk for the next week. I'm not surprised, after my little breakdown. I just hope he's trying to figure out a way to end it with Danielle.

Vic's POV

"I think I have a problem." I said to Mike. He was playing some video game.
"Lady troubles." He said jokingly.
"Yeah actually." He dropped the controller and turned to me.
"What!"
"Yeah..."
"Is this about Danielle?"
"Sort of..."
"Spill."
"Okey well there's this girl..."
"Uh huh."
"She's beautiful and amazing and nice and God she's just perfect. And I think I might love her. But, I think I love Danielle too."
"Damn Vic. Wait so you've been cheating on Danielle?"
"Dude shut up!"
"Oh my god Vic!" He said laughing.
"Yeah I know." I crossed my arms and looked out the window.
"Well what do you like about Danielle?"
"I don't know...she's attractive but really controlling."
"And this other girl?"
"She's beautiful and really nice. She's knows about Danielle but doesn't mind." That's a lie.
"Think of it this way. Imagine they were both about to fall off a cliff-"
"Mike!" He laughed.
"Whatever. Who would you save first?"
"Hannah." I blurted out. I covered my mouth and was mentally punching myself. I didn't mean to let any names slip.
"Aah, so that's the lucky girls name."
"Michael if you tell anyone I swear I'll kill you." He just nodded.
Maybe it really was that simple. Maybe all it took was for me to grow a pair and tell Danielle it was over. Soon though. Not now. Soon.
