Hannah in Wonderland

Chapter Nine~ You Never Seemed So Dense, Love

Hannah

I cried into Carissa's shoulder when we got to our hotel room. When we got back, I collapsed on the floor and just started bawling. I didn't know my little fabulous friend could pick me up. But she did, and sat me on the couch.

So now we're here, drinking tea, and watching Disney Channel. Which, wasn't a very good idea, because an R5 commercial came on and I cried even harder.

We heard a knock on the door, and Carissa got up to get it. She didn't unlock the dead bolt and opened the door wide enough for me to see the blonde hair and the lost, chocolate brown eyes. All I remember is looking into his hopeful brown eyes and then everything went dark.

"She doesn't want to see you right now, Ross." I whispered, looking down at the dozen roses in his hand.

"Just, let me talk to her or at least explain-- HANNAH!" he started to call for her. I unlocked the door and stepped outside.

"Ross! She's upset, and she's sleeping! Be quiet!" I whispered/yelled at him.

He ran a hand through his hair and hung his head. He put his hand over his eyes, then looked up.

"Can you at least give her these?" he whispered finally, handing them to me.

"I don't know, I might have to fight Rocky too." I said, taking the roses and putting a fist up.

He smiled sadly and shrunk down.

I mean, I don't want to hurt the guy, but he needed to learn that girls aren't toys.

And as he walked down the hallway I knew Hannah and I would have to do something tomorrow to get her mind off him.

I opened the door and found a sleeping Hannah, like I predicted.

I covered her, and not wanting to leave her side, made a palet on the floor and slept there for the night.

Before I closed my eyes, I looked at the clock.

11:11 pm. Great.
