Black Hole

Jealously

Hannah ran downstairs and into the living room. Courtney was sitting on the couch watching television. Hannah went over to her. 

"I'm going out with Harry." She told her. 

"Alright." Courtney laughed. "You two have gotten really close lately. It's hard to separate you two." 

Hannah smiled. "Yeah. At first it was just for show, like Alan said, then we just got really close." 

Courtney nodded. Hannah walked out of the living room. She grabbed her car keys and left. Tiara came in from the backyard then headed into the living room. She looked at Courtney. 

"Have you seen Hannah?" Tiara asked. "She promised to take me to the mall today." 

"I'm sorry sweetie but she just left to go out with Harry." Courtney said.

Tiara sighed. She sat down next to Courtney. She crossed her arms over her chest.

"That's like the seventeenth time she ditched me to go out with Harry." Tiara whined. 

"I'm sorry babe." Courtney said. 

She put an arm around Tiara. Tiara leaned on her.

Tiara waited on the stairs for Hannah to come home. Finally she heard Hannah's car pull into the driveway. She heard a car door shut but Hannah never came in. There was a sound of a car leaving. Tiara got up and looked outside. Hannah's car was in the driveway but Hannah was nowhere to be seen. Tiara sighed and went into the living room. She turned on the television and soon fell asleep.

"Harry I just can't do it anymore." Hannah said. 

"Why?" Harry asked. 

He went to put a hand onto Hannah's cheek but she pushed him away. 

"Cause I love Tiara. You're dragging me away from her." Hannah snapped. 

Harry sighed. "If that's how you feel." 

Hannah nodded. She turned around and walked over to Tiara. Hannah cupped her cheeks into her hands. She pressed her warm lips against Tiara's. 

"I love you." Hannah mumbled.

"Tiara, wake up."

Tiara jerked forward. She saw Hannah. She looked past her to see Harry. She groaned to herself. Hannah helped her up. 

"Hungry?" She asked. 

"Yeah." Tiara responded. 

"Good cause Courtney said you slept through dinner."

Hannah walked into the kitchen. Tiara and Harry sat at the table. Hannah started making dinner. Finally she came back in. She had a plates full of tacos. Tiara whined. She looked at Hannah. 

"We had tacos the other night." Tiara complained. 

"You did?" Hannah questioned. "I guess I wasn't home." 

"You're never home anymore." Tiara said under her breath. 

Hannah heard. She ignored it though, but held it in the back of her mind. She sat down next to Harry. 

"Well I made tacos because they're Harry's favorite." Hannah explained. 

"Well why is it all about Harry?!" Tiara snapped as she stood up. 

"Why are you acting so rude today?!" Hannah rose to her feet.

"What's rude is when you PROMISE to take someone to the mall SEVENTEEN TIMES and DITCH them EACH TIME!"

Hannah stared at her. She took a step closer Harry. Harry stood up and comforted her. Hannah stuffed her face into his chest. Tiara glared at them. 

"AND WHY MUST YOU DO THIS IN FRONT OF ME?! YOU KNOW I MISS WHEN HANNAH WOULD DO THAT TO ME!" Tiara bellowed. 

Hannah looked up at her. Her eyes were red and puffy, tears streaming down her face. Courtney came storming down the stairs. She ran into the kitchen. 

"What is going on?!" She asked. 

Hannah explained what had happened. Courtney glared at Tiara. She grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs. They walked into Tiara's room. Courtney sat on the bed and pulled Tiara over her lap. She brought her hand down over and over again. 

"You will not be disrespectful to Hannah and Harry, Tiara!" Courtney lectured. 

"I-I'm sorry! I-I just got jealous!" Tiara cried. 

After thirty-five swats, Courtney let Tiara up. She pulled her into a tight hug. 

"I'm s-sorry." Tiara sobbed. 

"It's alright." Courtney told her. 

They sat there for a few minutes. Soon they pulled away. Courtney looked Tiara in the eyes. 

"You are going to go downstairs, apologize to Hannah and Harry, come back upstairs and go to bed." Courtney instructed. 

"No dinner?" Tiara whimpered. 

"You should have thought about that before."

Tiara sighed. She walked downstairs. She found Hannah and Harry on the couch. Tiara stared at them. They had a blanket covering them. 

"Hannah? Harry?" Tiara mumbled. 

They slowly pushed the blanket off and looked at Tiara. Tiara shifted uncomfortably. 

"I-I'm sorry for how I acted earlier." She said. 

"It's alright." Hannah told her. 

Harry nodded in agreement. Tiara gave a faint smile then went upstairs. She walked into her room, got changed then got into bed. She tossed around for awhile. Finally she fell asleep.
