Hannah's POV

That was the first time I'd messaged Jess for a long time, I need to see her, things need sorting.

Driving there with Clay, I don't feel nervous. I need something from Jess, a favor... more than a favor.

"How you feeling, you ok?"

I smiled at Clay, he always makes sure I'm ok.

"I'm ok, thanks Helmet. Ok I'm a bit nervous"

"You want me to come with you?"

Clay's so sweet, but this is something I had to do by myself. I needed to speak to Jess.

"Nope, I'm a big girl. Besides, you have work to do! "

His face changed instantly, I could see him trying to think.

"Work?? Errrm... am I missing something??"

I was trying so hard not to laugh, he looks cute when he's confused.

"Just messing helmet..."

his reaction was priceless...

"Funny Hannah."

As we arrived at Monet's my nervous began to grow.

"Good luck, If you need anything let me know ok??"

"Yes sir"

I smilled before giving him a hug goodbye, something I never enjoyed doing.

As soon as Clay pulled awa, I missed him... we do everything together.

Looking through the window, I could see that Jessica was already here Hot chocolate is needed, now!

I've never seen Jess look that low before, she lookedon edge. She always used to be so relaxed.

"Hey Jess."

"Hey, Extra cream...?"

"Of course...!"

Jess's comment made me laugh inside, we always used to argue over who had more cream.

By the look of her drink today, I think I'm deffinatley the winner.

"How you feeling Hannah? I need to apologies"

Jess looks fragile, she reminds me of how I used to look.

"I'm feeling a lot better than I was, better than I have been in a long time... considering"

"How is Clay..?"

A smile crept across my face...

"He's great, actually he's amazing..."

Jess smiled at me, at that moment an awkward silence filled the table. I knew she wanted to say something...

"Hannah, the tapes..."

My previous smile now disappearing like a distant memory.

"What about them...?"
