I Won't Fade Away

Don't Slip .

Hannah's POV

What am I doing? Why did I actually agree to go back to his place with him? It was too late to back out now.

Justin and I walked to his motorcycle in silence. I was afraid of riding, but I really had no choice. I got on the back behind Justin holding on to him for dear life. Handing me his helmet, he turned to look at me and giggled.

"You afraid of a little wind princess?" he asked.

"What? No. I just. I've never been on one of these." I scoffed at him.

He smiled and turned back to the front starting the motorcycle. I dug my face into his back and I swear if I hugged him any tighter, I'd break a rib or two of his.

On our long drive to his house, I became less terrified. It actually felt pretty nice.

We arrived at Justins and I handed him his helmet. I was a little unwilling to go into his house with him, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. As I stepped in, the pain in my chest that I felt yesterday hit me like lightning. I was very uncomfortable with being here.

I dazed off thinking about the events that happened. I hated the thought that he almost cheated on me. I still wasn't sure.

"Hannah? You still there? " I heard Justin say.

"Oh. Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking."

"I called you like a billion times!" he said sticking his tongue out at me.

A small smile stretched across my cheeks.

I took a seat at his dining table and pulled out my phone.

It was only 3:00pm which meant only a few hours til Andy would take me out. I smiled at the thought of him.

Justin sat a plate of leftover spaghetti in front of me and joined me at the table.

"So. Have you thought about it? " Justin asked eagerly.

I shook my head starring at my plate and playing with the noodles.

Justin looked at me with sad eyes. "Hannah, please. Please believe me. I need you so much. I couldn't sleep last night. I can't stop thinking about you. I should've told you. I was afraid that you were going to react the way you did. I'm guilty, and I admit that. I admit that I messed up. I will do anything to make it up to you. Anything."

My heart fluttered a little bit. No Hannah, no. Don't slip, don't give in so easily.

Before I could say anything, Justin was by my side. He held his hand out to me, and I accepted it. He pulled me up and into a tight hug. He was so warm, and his scent made me melt. I felt his breathing starting to break. Was he crying?

I pushed him away and looked him in his watery eyes. "Justin, I'll think about it."

He wiped his eyes and pulled his lips into a small smile. "I understand."

I smiled back at him and opened my mouth to speak, but my phone started to ring. It was Andy.

"I gotta take this." I said answering the phone and turning around.

"Hello? "

"Hey. So, the guys kinda left me stranded at the bus while they all went out somewhere. I was thinking we could make our date a little earlier? "

I felt a huge grin stretch along my lips.

"Sure! I'd love that! Except, I'm not at home right now. I'll be there soon."

"I can pick you up? I have a rental and I've been kinda dying to drive it."

I giggled at his enthusiasm.

"Sure, I'll text you the address!"

I looked back at Justin, hoping he wouldn't jump to conclusions.

"Sweet. I'll see you in a few, beautiful." he said cutting the call. My cheeks turned hot.

I turned to face Justin.

"I'm having a friend pick me up. That's okay right?"

He looked a little broken at the thought of me leaving so soon.

"Uh, yeah. Of course."

I smiled at him and pulled out my phone to text the address to Andy.

Justins POV

Friend? What friend? I thought I was the only one she knew out here.

I couldn't say no, I don't control her.

"Uh, yeah. Of course." I said trying not to show the confusion.

I walked over to the living room and turned the TV on. I signaled Hannah to sit down, but she starred at me in disbelief.

She began to walk to the hall but turned around to look at me.

"I'm gonna go fix my face."

I nodded and she turned back to the hall and disappeared.

Why did she need to get 'fixed' up?

I sound crazy asking all of these questions. I turned my attention to the TV and watched the most recent episode of American Horror Story. Just as I was really getting into it, i heard a horn outside. I stood up and started to make my way to the door, but Hannah beat me to it.

"See you later, maybe?" she asked me. "Yeah, uh. Yeah." I really didn't know what to say.

Hannah opened the door and I don't know why I did it, but I pulled her into me and kissed her cheek. She stood there frozen for a good 30 seconds. She pushed me away and walked out the door. I wanted to follow, but I didn't. I went to the window right next to the door and looked at the car in front of my driveway. It was a 2015 Audi r8. Holy shit. The driver door opened as Hannah approached the car. A dude stepped out and rushed to the passenger side, opening the door for Hannah. I studied his face for a moment, he looked familiar. Then it hit me. He was the guy in her pictures.
