A Simple Love: Hartbig

Chapter 4

Hannah's POV:
She had pinned the subject onto me now too.

I didn't even know she had seen them.

"We need to sit down and talk Grace."

I led her to the couch and we sat in silence for a few minutes.

She was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry.." Her voice cracked. It was so soft.

I felt bad. I knew she couldn't control it. But still, i wanted her to be better.

"I just want you to be okay. To eat, and know that you're lovely the way you are."

"I know."

"Can you do it for me?"

I knew that got to her. If I said to do it for me, it would get to her.

She nodded. "Hannah?"

"Yes babe?"

"Will you help me?"

"Of course Grace."

She slightly smiled. And then it was her turn.

"Why did you cut again?"

I lowered my head.

It was so hard to talk about this.

Graces POV:
I want Hannah to be okay more than anything.

I figure if I can tell her about me, then she can tell me about her. We can help eachother.

"Why did you cut again?" I ask.

She lowered her head quietly.

I pulled her close.

"You can talk to me baby."

"I was worried about you. And I also had this urge. I don't know why. I just felt so alone. And like you could never love me because you were straight. I just wanted you. And I want you to be okay."

It killed me.

I was hurting her by hurting.

I needed to be okay, for her.

I needed to step up my game. Not only were my actions hurting me, but they were hurting Hannah. And that's one thing I never wanted to do.

"I'm sorry Hannah. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay Grace."

"Han?"

"Grace."

"Can we do something?"

"And what's that love?"

"Help each other. We need to be okay for each other. I don't want you to hurt. And I know you don't want me to hurt either. I want us to be okay."

"Okay." She agreed.

It was a start.

I shifted, and went to the kitchen.

I poured myself a bowl of cereal and began to eat it.

Hannah's POV:
"Got any plans for today babe?" I ask.

"I actually have to run home and get a few things if I'm staying here for a while."

I smiled. She was going to stay with me.

"You're welcome as long as you want to stay."

She smiled at me in return.

"So when do you want to go get your stuff?"

"I'll head out now, and be back in an hour?"

I agreed.

She picked up her keys and walked out the door, but not before giving me a peck on the cheek and promising that she would return soon.

Wow, she's perfect.

And she mine.
