Its Not Living (If Its Not With You)

"Hey, little Hannah."

Hannah woke from her sleep. She saw her aunt Leah at the bottom of her bed.

"Jesus!", she exclaimed, jumping up while accidentally pushing off Jessica's arms.

"I'm sorry for the fright. I'm just here to talk.", Leah said reassuringly.

"How can we talk if you're dead?", Hannah asked a bit rudely.

"Ever read Harry Potter?", she replied.

Hannah sighed.

"OK. What are you doing here?"

"I know what's been going on lately. I know everything that's happened. I'm really proud of you for keeping with the music. You have a true gift. But that's not why I'm here.", she said, as she motioned towards Jessica, sleeping soundly.

Hannah groaned.

"Its Clay and I who are together. It doesn't matter if I love Jess as much as I love Matty Healy, I have a boyfriend.", she said defensively.

"But you are bisexual?"

"What does it matter? I mean, I think I am, but it really doesn't matter if I like Jess that way."

"I know where you're coming from. I had the best boyfriend while in high school, but there was something about this girl. Everyone in the school fancied her, she was beautiful. You were an idiot if you didn't fall for her. Rumour has it that she's becoming a famous Hollywood actress. And by the looks of that girl beside you, you're an idiot if you don't fancy her. She's beautiful."
