Don't Let Go

Chapter 5 - Everybody makes mistakes, but fucking hell...

(Julian) "Hello?" - a man about her height stopped in front of her.

He had blonde hair and his eyes were a dark shade of brown. He was dressed in all-black.

(Hannah) "Hi... I'm Hannah." – she held her hand between them.

(Julian) "I know." – he shook it, smiling. – "Chris made us all see a picture of you so if we happen to run into you in the street, we're supposed to make sure you get home safe and sound."

(Hannah) "That does sound like him." – she chuckled.

The man smiled again.

(Hannah) "Uh... Is he here?"

(Julian) "No. He flew back to Milan yesterday morning. Matt had a problem and Chris went there to fix things."

Hannah's mood dropped completely. She was really determined to make things right with Christian; to give him a chance. For good.

(Julian) "I can call him, if you want."

(Hannah) "No, I'm sure whatever happened in Italy must be important."

(Holly) "Who's this?" – a tall woman came down the stairs.

She was dressed in only a pink t-shirt that left nothing for imagination. Her eyes were brown and her hair black, in a bulb that stopped in the middle of her cheeks. She also had a fringe that reached her eyebrows.

(Julian) "Hannah Galletti."

She stopped beside the man, eyeing Hannah.

(Holly) "Chris doesn't stop talking about you. Only when his mouth is busy." – she smirked.

Hannah crossed her arms over her chest, knowing what the woman meant.

(Hannah) "Well, at least he talks about me. He doesn't even mention you." – she smirked back.

Holly glared at Hannah and Julian felt slightly awkward.

(Julian) "Okay, ladies. Maybe we can take a few steps back. We don't want to watch an episode of wild life."

But both women ignored him, still glaring at each other.

(Holly) "I don't want you here."

(Hannah) "Good thing I'm not here for you."

(Holly) "Fuck off." – she stepped closer.

(Hannah) "Listen to me, Dora the Explorer." – Julian snorted, trying not to laugh. – "Don't fuck with me. I can make you disappear with a snap of my fingers. So I suggest you to crawl back to your hoe hole and get the fuck out of my way."

Holly clenched her jaw and was even considering slapping Hannah. As if Julian had read her thoughts, he spoke again.

(Julian) "You know if you do something, Chris will kill you." – he said to Holly.

(Holly) "You're lucky. Maybe it won't happen again the next time." – she walked away.

(Julian) "She can be a bitch sometimes."

(Hannah) "Yeah, sometimes..." – she mumbled. – "I'm gonna go. Thank you, anyway."

(Julian) "Are you sure you don't want me to call him to let him know you're here?"

(Hannah) "Yeah, I'll just wait until he gets back."

Julian nodded and Hannah left the house to find Daniel still waiting for her.

Four days later

(Hannah) "Hello?" – she picked up the call.
