Hard to say NO |✓

I pull a chair from the table behind us and squeeze in between Dean and Brad.

    "Are you ready for the big game?" Asks Brad innocently.  This Friday coming we have a football game. It's the first one of the season, so it's the most intense one. Everybody from school normally comes to watch us so we have a lot of pressure. Hannah is always there but due to the fact of her not being able to walk means she will probably miss the game.

    "I was born ready! The hard thing is that I won't have my lucky charm in this match." They all look at me with different expressions.

    "Hannah I mean, my lucky charm. She won't be there to see me." I add. I look over and see Emma take her phone out of her bag pretending she hadn't heard me. But it's true Hannah is my lucky charm.

After classes, I decide to stop by to see Hannah at her house.

In the driveway is her car and her mother's white Mercedes.

I knock on the door and her mother opens up with a big smile.

    "Nice to see a familiar face around here," she says giving me a tight hug.

    "Hello, Julie. Can I come in to see Hannah?"  I ask politely she gives me a quick nod and walks me to the living room. There she is eating a big packet of crisps on the sofa. She pauses the tv and turns around to look at me.

    "Babe, what a nice surprise," she says looking at me straight in the eyes with a big warm smile.

    "I'm going shopping love birds, see you later." and walks away. I hear her slam the door. I sit down next to her on the sofa and kiss her softly on the lips.

    "I've missed you, baby. How are you feeling?" I ask her when she leans onto my shoulder. I start to play with her hair and twist it around.

" I'm better, my legs are still a bit rusty but I will get better, that's what my doctor said. At four my physiotherapist is coming here to do some rehabilitation." I look at the time and it's already half past three so I only have half an hour to be with her.

"That's great news, honey. I will wait until he comes and talks to him to see how you're doing." She turns a bit with difficulty to look at me. We are facing now towards each other. I learn in and we start kissing softly and then more desperately. I cop her face softly and I can feel her nails sticking into me on the back of my neck. I pull away because I don't want to get too excited because she is not ready now in her condition to have sex.

"Another day babe," I say looking at her. She frowns and I totally feel the frustration she is feeling now.

"It's been more than a month that we last had sex." She complains. But she is right it has been a long time.

"I know it has, trust me, but now in the condition, you are in it's not going to help you get better." I feel bad because the last time I had sex was with Emma and not with Hannah. But of course, she doesn't know that.

There is a knock on the door. I get up from the sofa and give Hannah a kiss on the head. I walk over to the door and I come across with this elderly man. Whitebeard and white hair. Dressed very posh and carrying a black briefcase.

"Hi, I'm Hunter Lane. Hannah's boyfriend." I say stretching out my hand. He takes a good grip on my hand and says.

"Hello, my name is Collin Shepherd and I'm Hannah's physiotherapist," He says letting go of my hand.

"Nice to meet you. Could I please ask, How is Hannah doing?" I ask politely.

"She is getting better and it's good to know that you are there by her side especially in this hard time for her. You have to be strong for her and help her in every way she needs." When those words come out my heart sinks because recently I haven't been a good boyfriend to her. I have to talk to Emma because the funny business has to stop for Hannah's sake.

"I will be there for her and I will always help her in these hard times. Thank you for helping her too." I say. We walk into the living room and Hannah is already sat in her wheelchair.

"I could have helped you to sit there if you would have asked," I say giving her a black look.

"Women never ask for things they want you to have to know it already and do it without them telling you to do it." What is he a physiotherapist or Cupid? I ask myself. She laughs and wheels over to us. I bend down and kiss her softly on the lips.

"I'll see you later babe. Bye, Mr. Shepherd." And with that, I leave the house.

I get my phone out of my pocket and search for Emma. I open the message box and send her.

Hunter: I'm sorry for everything that's happened. I think the best thing to do is not talk to each other for some time.
