Picture of Hanna^^^^^^
__________Hanna________________
It was finally over. I didn't feel the guilt anymore. I still felt the pain of loss but that was nothing compared with the burden that had been lifted. I had God now and even though I didn't understand why my parents and my brother had to die, I felt at peace.
For once in such a long time I felt at peace. And I was happy. I didn't have to fake a smile anymore. The smile that was on my face now, was real.
Nick had texted me earlier and said he was coming over.
He said he had something to ask me but I don't know what. He has been acting weird the last couple of days. And by weird I mean quite. And he's never quite.
"Hanna! Nick is here."
I walked down the stairs.
"He is outside on the porch."
"Hey." I said once I stepped out on the porch. "What up?"
He turned around to face me his usual smile was replaced by a worried look.
"What's wrong Nick?"
"Nothing. I just came over to ask you something."
"Why do you look like that? What question could have you so worried?"
"I know that we are friends....."
"Yeah of courses were friends."
"Hanna,please let me finish otherwise I won't be able to say what I want to say What I need to say."
"Okay."
"I know that we are friends Hanna............but if I'am honest I don't want to be. I can't be just friends. I am in love with you Hanna. And I can't just be your friend."
I stared at him with my eyes wide, he was in love with me?
"What's your question?"
"Do you feel the same way?"
His stared at me his eyes never leaving mine as he spoke. "I know that we are young and people say we don't know what love is. But trust me Hanna I do, and I am completely in love with you."
He lifted his hand to my face and gently stroked my cheek.
I nodded my head. "Yes."
He quickly let out his breath he had been holding and leaned forward and kissed me.
He drew back slightly and looked into my eyes, his hand still on my cheek and his smile back on his face.
"I love you Hanna."
"I love you too." I said leaning against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.
I don't think I will ever have to fake a smile again.
