13 reasons Why Not

chapter 21 - The cracks get deeper

Clays POV

This morning I felt better... I felt like I understood... well what had happened with Zack and Hannah at least.

I still had unanswered questions... I need to talk to Hannah... I needed to know where I stood... at the same time I know Hannah's going through so much... ok I'm still confused.

It's funny how your feelings can change so quick...

Hannah's POV

I was nervous... but excited...

I was hoping things would be like every morning... a drive to liberty high in the bat mobile... Clay putting a smile on my face...

He did... he always does...

Things weren't the same though... I missed him holding my hand... Hannah you need to talk to him...

I decided I would at lunch...

"Hey helmet... at lunch you fancy having a picnic?"

He smiled at me... that smile I love...

"Yeah... that sounds nice... what's the occasion Miss. Baker?"

I smiled....

"No occasion... just want to have a nice lunch with you, just us two"

Clay walked me to class... I remember watching him walk away... i had a lump in my throat...

Someone so caring... someone so honest... he's perfect for me...

You will sort this out at lunch Hannah...

If only I had this morning...

Like I Said... if I only knew what today would bring...

Clay's POV

The bell rang... one more class then lunch...

Im looking forward to our picnic... Will be a good chance to talk...

" Hey Clay..."

I recognised the voice... but usually it says Jensen... not Clay... I turned my head.

"Hey Justin... how's it going?"

Justin was looking better... well a bit...

"Yeah ok... how are you doing after all those packages...? Have you heard anything?"

To be honest I hadn't thought about them... not for the last 24 hours...

"No nothing yet... you? How you dealing with it all... is Jess ok?"

Justin and Jess had been talking more... only as friends. Seemed to be helping them both...

"Im alright... I just want to know who sent them! Jess is doing ok... freaked out about next week... still expecting to see Tyler..."

Tyler...? Why's she expecting to see Tyler??

"What do you mean? Tyler? Why would she be expecting to see him...?"

I stopped and looked at Justin... I'm confused...

"Well after he was outside her house... didn't Hannah tell you?"

Tyler's been outside jess's house? No she didn't...

I looked at Justin... he must be thinking what are you doing Clay...
