Once Was, Never Again

Chapter 10: "I Uhh..."

-A Month Later, Hannah's PoV-

"What do you mean you can't move here! Your Mom can't force you to stay at home! You're older than me!" I whimper, "Ashlynn!"

"I'm sorry Hannah, I just can't right now I don't have the money and Mom won't lend me any. I just got a job a week ago, I'm gonna save up and move down there. I promise. Just a few more months..." Ash whimpers through the phone.

I'm laying on my bed with Ash on speaker, staring at my ceiling as she talks.

"Plus, I have a lot of shit! You know that, I'd have to get a U-Haul and drive my shit up there. That's like... A day or two to travel by car I think."

"But Dad said you can live with us! Just bring your valuables and whatever else. Dad and I can even pay for you to-"

"No, not happening. I already did that a few times with Mom and she still says I still haven't payed her when I actually did." Ash sighs.

I whimper and sigh. "Alright... Well don't be a stranger okay?" I rub my face and groan.

"I won't, so on other news has Ryan kissed you again since that one time in his truck?" I can practically hear her smirking.

"Shut up!" I blush, "No... Nothing's really happened since then... I mean, ever since the iPad ordeal he hasn't even really acknowledged me again." I groan more.

"Maybe your old man had a tall with him?"

"Dads not old, he's thirty-nine." I roll my eyes. "I don't know... I mean he'll smile at me and shit but nothing else."

"Oh well... Hey I gotta go, Mom's bitching at me."

"Alright, love you. Text you soon."

"Love you too. Bye."

"Bye."

I sigh and hung up. I sat up and grabbed my Xbox controller and started playing GTAV. The loading screen takes fucking forever. I select music off of my hard drive on my Xbox and was soon in a public lobby.

A few minutes later I was killed. "Aw you fucking asshole." I mutter, I respawn and pull out my gun, aiming at who killed me a block away.

A familiar skull-headed guy is right in the scope of my sniper. I go to pull the trigger but he got me first. "Fucking asshole!" I growl.

My phone goes off and I glance at it. I frown and look again.

Ryan sent you a message...

I open it and sigh.

Rye: Hello there, sorry for killing you, actually I'm not sorry, my murder break is over so now I'm causing havoc in Los Santos, I thought it was fancy finding you in the same lobby, also- sorry, I just destroyed your Zentorno.

I look up and sure enough, I got a notification from Pegasus saying my car was totaled.

Me: Aw, fuck you. I just joined the game...

Rye: Sorry. So what're you doing?

Me: Calling my car, because someone destroyed it... Other than that, nothing. Home alone while the Family is out for some dinner and movie thing at Nicole's school.

Rye: Why didn't you go?

Me: Didn't feel like it, plus it's like a parent-student ordeal.

Rye: I see...

Me: What're you doing?

Rye: Same, but I've been on GTAV for a while.
