Strangers [COMPLETE]

Chapter 44: An Unexpected Love

"Have you ever considered therapy?" Spencer asked Hanna the next morning, once Hanna woke up.

"I don't want to talk to anyone about this," Hanna said. She didn't want to admit it; it was embarrassing. She got knocked up by some stranger and lost a baby she didn't want in the first place. It made her look like a terrible person.

"I think you should, Han," Spencer said, "when I broke up with Toby a few years ago, I didn't think anyone could understand how I felt. I felt like a terrible person. I mean, I cheated on him and then he cheated on me. But this woman, Han, is amazing. She won't judge you and she gives you real advice. Nothing fake or superficial."

Hanna sat up a little, "I'll think about it,"

"Yeah, about that," Spencer said, pulling Hanna up, "I might've already called her. Your appointment is in two and a half hours. So eat, get dressed, and be there by ten-thirty!"

"What? Spencer!" Hanna angrily said.

"I have to go, Han. Here's the address," Spencer said, handing her a slip of paper, "are you going to be alright on your own?"

Hanna nodded. "Yeah. I'll be fine."

"Great. Call me and tell me how it went. Bye, Han." Spencer said, making her way out the door.

Hanna considered not going to the appointment at all and lying to Spencer about how it went, but that didn't seem fair. Spencer had gone out of her way to make sure she was okay, so the least she could do was be at this appointment.

"How's Hanna?" Toby asked, his arms wrapped around Spencer as they laid in bed. Spencer had just dropped Isaac and Maria off at school, so it was just them and Ana until three o'clock.

"She's-" Spencer started. In all honesty, Spencer couldn't tell if Hanna was okay or not. "I'm not sure. I just feel like I could've done more,"

"You were with her all day, Spencer. You went to the hospital with her. You did everything you could. Don't think that you could've changed something, because that's not going to help you at all," Toby said.

Spencer turned around, so that she was facing Toby. She could tell he was thinking about his brother. He blamed himself for a long time, but there was nothing else he could've done. As long as they were raising Maria and Ana, Spencer knew that they were doing something right. "I love you," Spencer said, delicately letting her hands graze his face, feeling every detail.

"I love you, too." Toby said, leaning in to kiss her. Their lips met, and it was the most powerful feeling either of them had ever experienced. Every time they kissed, it felt like that first night in front of Spencer's old apartment. They were so in love, and they felt it every time their lips met.

On her way to her appointment, Hanna found herself in a pretty inconvenient situation. As she was driving, a jerk on her tail bumped into her, causing her to bump into the person in front of her. Thankfully nobody was injured, but the person who started it fled the scene. Hanna couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman.

She pulled over, along with the person she bumped into, trying to see if there were any damages. There were a few scratches on Hanna's end, but a complete dent on the car she hit.

"Oh god, this is so bad," she said to herself, clearly stressed.

"Hey, don't worry about it. My insurance can cover it," A man said, emerging from the car Hanna hit, "besides, it wasn't even your fault,"

The man looked up, locking eyes with Hanna. The second he saw those sparkling blue eyes, blonde hair and irresistible dimples, he knew he had to introduce himself.

"I'm Caleb," he said.

"I'm late for something," Hanna said, clearly annoyed.

"Well that's a beautiful name, is it French?" He said sarcastically.

"Sorry, I'm Hanna. I was supposed to meet with someone thirty minutes ago. Now I have to reschedule,"

Caleb nodded his head, trying to sympathize with her.

Hanna looked at him, noticing every little detail about his face. His olive-toned skin, his dark hair and eyes. It was like he had stepped out of a fairytale, he was her ideal prince. She wanted to make a move, but wasn't sure how to do it without seeming insane. "Since I'm free, maybe you and I could get some coffee? My treat. Besides, I feel like I owe you something,"

"That sounds great," Caleb said, smiling the biggest smile in his life. He could feel something between them. It was more than just an attraction. He couldn't exactly pinpoint it, but he knew that he needed to be in her presence again.
