CHAPTER 14- AN ARSE

Hannah's POV

__________________________

I woke up with my first hangover and I felt awful. My head ached and so did the rest of my body. I reached for my phone by poking out a hand from my comfy blankets to the nightstand.

Message From: Mother

Mom: Honey, I won't be home for a week. I'm off to a business trip. You're a good kid so please stay out of trouble. Get whatever you need and do good in school. Bye, love you.

Me: I'll be safe, love you too.

Mom: Okay. <3

~4 hours later, 1 PM~

I finally stood up with the biggest headache in my life and my first instinct was to throw up. Before I knew it I was on the toilet seat letting the acid from my stomach free.

"Shit Hannah, I'll help" I heard Michael. Suddenly I felt 10 times better.

"Thanks so much" I thanked him accepting the hand he offered me to stand up. "Come, I got you medicine and warm soup. Come lay down". I did as told and felt much better.

After I finished the soup I got up to brush my teeth because I obviously didn't want to smell like throw up. I looked in the mirror looking like complete sh*t from the previous night. I got my towels and hopped in the shower. I let the warm water sink into my hair and body.

I took about 30 mins enjoying the luke water, I came out feeling better and put my polka dot PJ's on. "Hannah I, uh" Michael stuttered coming closer as exited the  bathroom door. He leaned over me caressing my cheek.  I felt heat rise to my face as his soft hand was on my cheek. I caressed his without thinking, he leaned in closer our lips inches away from meeting once again.

*Beep Beep Beep*

Are you f*ckin kidding me? Michael let go of my face and awkwardly fixed himself gesturing at my phone. I checked my phone and it was Jordan. "Not a good time Jordan" I quickly whispered.

"I was going to ask if you wanted to go with me somewhere". I paused for a moment and looked up at Michael, he waved goodbye and was out the door within a minute. "Michael, wait" I screamed after him but he just left. "I guess i'll go" I finalized the call with Jordan and got ready.

*honk honk*

I raced out the door and entered Jordan's car. He was listening to a Led Zepplin song,  banging his head, pretending the wheel of the car was his drum, and singing along to it. "What a fan girl" I said jokingly making Jordan roll his eyes. "GREAT TO SEE YOU TOO HANNAH" he screamed over the music.

We drove and drove for what seemed hours until we came to an end. We got out of the car and right away I noticed the place from a magazine I had once read in the lobby of a dentist when I was in America. "London Eye" he proudly said.

"The one and only, this is the cultural heart of the city. It can hold up to about 800 passengers and it's a thirty minute ride" a young girl around my age cheerfully welcomed us. Jordan and I smiled waiting in line to purchase a ticket. When it was our turn an old man greeted us "2 tickets right?"

"Yes" Jordan assured. "It will be 37.60 pounds". He payed both our tickets and I firmly stated lunch would be on me. We both agreed and patiently, well I patiently waited for our turn while Jordan kept moving around impatiently. "Stop moving so much Jordan, it makes me nervous" silly me complained only making Jordan more frustrated.

"Finally it's us, come Hannah" Jordan tugged me accidentally holding my hand. We let go immediately getting on the giant wheel. The ride was slow but really terrifying. It was so high I could see the gigantic view. The sky looked amazing, there was tints of blue and red. Some were purple and the sun was in the hours in which it was almost going to set. I looked at Jordan and I saw him staring at me.

"What?" I nervously asked. He leaned in, each time closer to my lips I leaned in and then I froze not knowing what to do next. So I went along with it and put my hand on his face. Jordan just started to laugh. "I wasn't gonna kiss you. I just wanted to see how things were like when you and Michael kissed". I was in shock noticing how shitty that was of him to do that to me. "I- I guess Jordan". I scooted the furthest I could from him wanting to get off the ride. This time I was the impatient one.

As soon as the ride stopped I got off the ride not looking back. "Hannah, come on. It was just a joke" Jordan called out. "Fuck off Jordan" I called back and called a minicab as fast as I could.

~40 minutes later~
"Thank you so much" I thanked the driver and saw Jordan's car in his moms driveway. I scurried to the front of my door and ran to my room. I was so embarrassed and humiliated. I had never felt this stupid in a very long time. It hurt me. And it didn't hurt because of his stupid kiss, it hurt because he lost all the the trust I had given him so far.

Vickey came over for a sleep over because she was feeling lonely at home as well. She comforted me as we watched her favorite Mexican shows Telenovelas. Her company made me feel much better "Are you okay Hannah" Vickey asked once more. "I'm fine" I reassured her and hugged her.

Vickey fell asleep and I was obviously still awake. I looked through my phone and realized I had gotten a  message earlier that night and I hadn't noticed.

Message From:
Unknown I.D

You can't forget about us Rose.

I completely froze. Did they know were I was? Is this a prank?

I archived the message but deleted it from my messages. I immediately turned my phone off and put my hands to my face. It can't be.

Author's Note: Hi guys, thank you for reading my book and showing lots of love to it. Please leave a comment and give it a star? Like? Whatever it is called. I hope you guys liked this chapter and the photo art I made of Jordan, Hannah, and Michael. I hope that you guys take in account that Hannah is not a relationship so therefore she can kiss/flirt/ do pretty much whatever she wants so please no negative comments about her decisions. That is it guys, tell me what you think about the photo I edited.
