I Love You

Hannah's POV
7:30 PM
I walk out to Sarah's grave and sit.
"I'm sorry." I say. "I can't help my feelings."
This is terrible. I like my friend's ex-boyfriend.
I feel a presence beside me and look up.
I gasp. "Sarah?"
She smiles sadly. "No, just a memory." She whispers.
I slowly stand up. She looked healthy.
Alive.
I swallow. "Are you happy?"
"I've never been happier. My friend has found love."
"I'm sorry it had to be him-"
"Shh." She puts a finger to her lips. "I know it can be hard to forget, but it's easy to forgive." She whispers and in I blink, and she's gone.

"I can't Caleb. I can't. Okay?"
" Babe, I can't bear to see you like this. Starving yourself even though you're beautiful anyway." He pleads.
I tear my eyes away from his. "I'm sorry I cause you pain." I spit out and walk away.
Let Dylan have me.
I don't care anymore.
—-><—-
I gasp awake, haunted by my nightmare.
I can't let Dylan have me. No, I can't.
I'm jolted out of my thoughts by Caleb entering my room.
"You should really lock your door." He says.
I smile and scoot over so he can lay in bed with me.
"How're you, my beautiful lady?" He asks.
"I'm well, fair prince for I have slept and it is Saturday." I say, going along with his game.
"However, I am not happy that a strange ogre has invaded by kingdom." I say, patting my bed. "And I would al-"
"Oh shut up." Caleb laughs and kisses me.
I laugh into his mouth and he rolls over and ends up on top of me, not breaking the kiss.
When we finally get up, Caleb tells me he's taking me to see Justice League.
"How'd you know I like DC?" I ask him.
He smiles knowingly and winks.
I smile back and we go watch the movie.
Afterwords, we went to dinner and I had the best time of my life.
I laughed and talked more than I ever have in my life.
I ate for the first time in months.
I think I'm actually falling in love.
We're walking home, and we're playing the game of push each other playfully.
So far, Caleb has pushed me the farthest.
I push against him with my shoulder, sending him sideways. "Damn Hannah!" He exclaims. "You're really strong. But not as strong as me." He growls playfully and before I know it, I'm over his shoulder, laughing and half-begging him to put me down.
Our moment had to end when we arrived at my house.
"Thank you for the movie today." I said, suddenly shy.
He smiles back. "Anything for the girl I love." He whispers.
Oh my god.
Caleb said he loves me.
I look around sarcastically. "Where is she?" I ask.
He laughs and hugs me.
I pull him in and kiss him. A long, and meaningful kiss.
"I love you too." I whisper against his lips.

Will Hannah succeed in her plan?
