Hannah in Wonderland

Chapter Eight~ Falling For You (Ross)

Her sweet laugh filled my ears and her smile blinded me while she danced around the living room, middle school style with Rocky.

The sense of jealousy ran through me of how close their faces were. He kept pushing his nose onto hers and she would pull away and laugh at whatever he said.

It was making me sick to my stomach and I wanted it to stop. I finally got the courage to go up to them.

"May I cut in?" I said, smiling at Hannah.

"Nah, we don't need scissors. We already have rock and paper." he smirked and turned to Hannah.

"Rocky, may I have a moment with you? In the hallway?" I tapped on his shoulder.

"Ugh, fine. Rest your legs for me, yeah?" Rocky winked at Hannah. She giggled and walked off to talk with Carissa and Riker.

When I pulled him out in the hallway, neither of us were exactly happy at one another. I pulled Rydel out to prevent us from fighting.

"What do you want, Ross?" they said in unison.

"Rocky, you're stealing Hannah away from me!" I stammered and pushed him. I couldn't take it! Him being so close to her face...

"What do you mean?" he said, puzzled.

"Don't play dumb! You know exactly what I mean! I know you saw me hold her hand while singing One Last Dance and how I pulled her close to me in the elevator! Back OFF!" I shoved him harder and he hit the wall.

"Baby brother I am warning you. I was just showing her a good time, considering I invited her over and you just stood there like a dog with its tongue hanging out!" he yelled and shoved me clear on the other wall.

He walked back to get in my face but I came to him. Apparently, Rydel went back inside because I didn't hear any pleas of breaking it up.

I grabbed Rocky's collar and I was just about to hit him when the hotel room door swung open and revealed Carissa on Riker's back and Hannah.

Hannah stood there, awe struck in horror as Riker lightly put Carissa down and grabbed Rocky out of my hands.

"Hannah," I said, but I couldn't tell her anything. Because she shoved on my chest and grabbed Carissa's arm and left, only looking back when they hit the elevator button. Tears rolled down her cheeks and all I wanted to do was kiss them away and that everything was fine.

But I couldn't.

And as the elevator door closed, and Carissa gave me a look of disproval, I knew.

Even though this sounds crazy, and I know I just met her a few hours before.

But I think I'm falling for her.

Hard.
