Hanna's POV:

I wake up with two strong arms around me. I smile. Caleb.

I look up to see Caleb looking back down at me.

"Why do I always catch you staring at me?" I ask jokingly.

"Why are you always so beautiful?" He asks me and I blush a deep red. He just smiles more when he notices the colour of my cheeks. "I love you, did I ever tell you that?"

"Not in the past hour, no." I laugh. "I love you, too."

I place a soft kiss on his lips before getting up.

"Where are you going?" Caleb asks.

"To the bathroom." I reply simply.

"That might be a problem." He chuckles, and I remember the door he broke down yesterday. I laugh.

"Yeah..." I say. "Just... stay here and I'll let you know when I'm done."

Caleb nods and I walk away, making sure to close Caleb's door behind me. I'm in the bathroom when I realize I forgot my make up bag. I walk back to the room and am about to open the door, when I stop.

"Yeah, Hanna's in the bathroom so I can talk, just make it quick." Make what quick? What is he hiding? Is he working for Jenna again? I pushed the thoughts away.

"Yes. Yes I know. How long are we going for?" Pause. Where is he going? What?

"Ugh, I wish we could leave forever." Caleb says. Leave? Forever?

"Okay, I know. I just, it would be so easy to just leave. And anyways we need a cover story to tell the girls for now." The girls? The girls? Girls with an 's'? As in plural? As in more than one girl? As in he's cheating on me? What the hell?

"Okay, yeah. Uh-uh. That works. I'll talk to you soon. Later." Why was I so fast to trust him? Why was I so stupid? I run to the bathroom, and sit in the bathtub. I just let go and go into full out sob. I completely forget that Caleb is in the room next to me and that the door is broken down. I can't think straight.

Caleb is cheating on me. Cheating. On me. God, I must be pretty stupid.

I don't even realize I have a toothbrush in my hand and I'm next to the toilet when something takes the toothbrush away and picks me up into their arms and puts me on their lap. I subconsciously cuddle closer but then remember. I push him away.

"Hanna what are you doing?" He asks and I think I hear concern in his voice. But I push it away.

"Go talk to one of the other 'girls'." I say angrily.

"What? What other girls?" He asks, and I'm pretty sure his confusion is fake. But he's a great actor, I'll give him that.

"I heard you. On the phone. Just go away, okay?" I yell. Caleb thinks for a moment before speaking again.

"Hanna, I was on the phone with Toby Cavanaugh, what the hell are you talking about?" I just shake my head. He's lying.

"I was stupid to forgive you." I say between sobs, get up and walk away. It takes all the strength in me to walk, but I have to do this. I can't stay here. I can't.

I can hear footsteps behind me. "Hanna." Caleb calls out. I don't turn around. Just keep walking, Hanna, I tell myself. But Caleb rushes over in front of me. "Hanna." He repeats. He's blocking the doorway, so I have no choice but to talk to him.

"What?" I yell.

"I have no idea what you heard, but how bout you tell me so I can explain myself?" He asks. Tell him? Tell him? He literally just broke me. Completely.
