Everything Changes Now

Hanna's P.O.V 

On our way back to the house we shared a few laughs. Once we get to the house, he kissed me on the lips then on my nose before I unlock the front door and go inside. As soon as we get inside, I head to the living room where I find my best friend and brother making out on our couch.

"HOW COULD YOU!" I yell at Jamie. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!" Jamie pulls away and her and Blake scramble to get away from each other. Blake stands up and starts walking towards me saying,

"This is not what it looks like. Well, it kinda does but can't tell Hunter anything."

"Tell Hunter what? How does Hunter have anything to do with this?" I asked confused.

"Damn man you haven't told your sister about you and Hunter." Jake says. My eyes open wider as I stare at my brother.

"How could you do this to me, to us?" Hunter says as she comes out from behind the wall crying. I run up stairs to Taylor's and I's room and go into the bathroom and lock the door.

Taylor's P.O.V

We walked the rest of the way home and when we got to the back door we heard yelling and arguing. I heard Hanna yell 'HOW COULD YOU, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!' I look at Nate and wonder what is going on. We both run inside and see Hunter crying and footsteps up the stairs. I didn't see Hanna so I know it was her.

"What is going on?!" I yell at Jake and Blake. "Why is Hunter crying and why did Hanna run upstairs?" I then see Jamie. "Why are you here at this time of night?"

"Okay...let's start from the beginning. When Hanna and I walked in, we saw Blake and Jamie making out. Hanna yelled at them and run up stairs after she found out Blake is with Hunter. Blake cheated on Hunter with Jamie." Jake explains. I heard footsteps and turn to see Hunter running up the stairs.

"Are you kidding me Blake? You know Hunter's past. How could you do that to her?" Nate says furious at Blake.

"Shouldn't we be worrying about the two girls crying upstairs?" Jamie asks and I say,

"Shut up. Your the one who caused all this. Blake too." I saw the hurt in Jamie's face when I said that. But at this moment I didn't care. All I cared about was my sister and my friends upstairs.

"Since we are telling secrets now, Taylor, I need to talk to you. Now." Jake says and my anger turns to confusion. He walks into the kitchen and before I go I say,

"Nate, don't punch him. Please." I say knowing how mad he is. When I get into the kitchen, Jake says,

"Okay, so, while we were sitting under the waterfall, Hanna told me something and she told me not to tell you. But I'm telling you anyways, cause you need to know." He paused and takes a breath. " Hanna thinks she might be clinically depressed because she told me and I quote, ' I just, ugh, it's so hard trying to be happy all the time well trying to be' and 'I just I'm always really sad and I feel like nobody cares and that I have no but I do and it's scaring me cause it's being to get worse.'" I lean on the counter wondering why she never went to me or told me.

"Why didn't she want me to know? How long has she felt like this?" I ask. I have more but those are the only two that come out.

"A couple months. She didn't want you to know because she knows how much you worry about her already." He says. I have to sit down because my brain isn't functioning right. Nothing comes out of my mouth but I stand up and start to walk towards the door. When I hear Jake calling my name I start to run. I go to the tree house and lock the door.

Hanna's P.O.V

I hear the door open and close and run downstairs.

"Who was that?" I asked. Jake comes out of the kitchen and looks at me.

"It was Tay." He says and pauses. "I told her." With that I ran outside to find her. I knew exactly where she went and when I got there, I noticed the door was locked. I knocked on the door saying,

"Tay, open up. Open the door. Please." I hear nothing coming from inside. "Tay? Please. I'll explain everything. Just open the door." I hear the lock on the door click and I walk in to see her sitting on the bean bag crying.

"Why wouldn't you come to me?" Taylor asks.

"I was scared that you would worry too much. You are always there for everyone but I didn't need you to worry about me. I need you to worry about you. I know that sounds bad but I needed to protect you." I say with tears running down my face. I sit in the other bean bag while she says,

"Han, you can always come to me for anything. It hurt more that I had to find out from someone else. It hurt that you didn't come to me for help. I worry about you because you are my sister. We stick together. Through thick and thin. You don't have to protect me from you. We shared everything. I just have one question." I look at her and say,

"What's that?"

"Were you ever going to tell me?" She says...
