13 reasons Why Not

chapter 37 - Angels & Demons

Hannahs POV

Seeing sarah again felt so good, it's not only made me come to terms with my past but also my future. Thinking about what I'd said, apologising for never stopping the awful events that had happened at Ridgeview High.

It made me think of my own misfortunes, the cruel things that people had done to me at Liberty.

Sitting in my room I thought of who Hannah Baker has become, not only this but the person I want to be. Glancing back over my reasons why not I felt myself realising something, everyone around me was also changing.

Thinking of the person I was at Ridgeview compared to who I am now, it made me think of my fellow classmates. I started to think about Jess and Justin, with everything they've both done they're changing so much, seeing how much they've helped me and Clay It felt like I could see myself in them both.

Sitting on my bed I thought to myself, was it finally time to move on from what happened?

Thinking of tomorrow I'm so nervous about what lays ahead, saying this I'm also so excited for today. Being invited to the Jensens for lunch, I couldn't wait to spend the day with Clay and his family...

I love them.

Lainies POV

Drinking my coffee I felt excited, at the same time I can feel butterflies in my stomach with the nerves of tomorrow and what it brings.

Knowing how upset Olivia was I couldn't help but do something nice for everyone, I wanted Hannah to know she has full support in what she faces.

Hearing the success of Hannah and Clays Ridgeview trip had made me so Happy, it was a big relief to know it went so well. Now we needed to focus on what the future holds, both the good and bad.

As I prepared for today's lunch the previous news Olivia had broken continued to play on my mind, the news that her and Andy would soon be seperating. However bad this may be I had been promised for today at least, this would be non existant.

For how long after this I don't know...

Andy's POV

Looking in the bathroom mirror I couldn't help but think...

'The Jensens for lunch, I still don't know how I'd cope with today.'

The thought of this had kept me up half of the night, that mixed with what the future holds for Hannah it all continually played on my mind.

Remembering mine and Olivia's conversation, we had promised that no matter what happens we wouldn't let it effect what Hannah's going through. No matter how hard I may try, today still represents so many challenges.

It's not that I no longer care about our family, it's as If our current life is so far from what we'd once planned, the dreams we once had.

Leaving the bathroom I paused...

Hearing Hannah laughing in her room, it made me smile about how excited she sounds. Listening more it made me think of how much Clay means to her, how happy he makes her.

As I began walking along the hall Hannah made me think, a part of her still reminds me of how I once felt about Olivia... realising this it confirmed a big part of me is still so confused about the future.

Clay's POV

Today is a good day, no matter what tomorrow brings I want Hannah to know how much she's loved.

Thinking of my mom's idea it makes me realise how much she does, it makes me think of how much I love her for caring. With everything that we've recently faced and the questions that still need answering, I knew we needed peace.
