Chapter 3: Unannounced Arrival

Hannah

“One question: Did you sign the contracts by my name?” I asked and the message remained seen for two minutes. Just when I was gonna ask a follow up question, she replied.

“Yes, but”

“Stop” I sent her while she was typing. I don’t wanna listen to her excuses. I wouldn’t do this to her even if I was dying. I wouldn’t tie her to something she hates for my selfish reasons no matter what. But she died. And she wants to explain herself but I know, whatever the case maybe, there is just no reason that would satisfy the deed.

“But Hannah”

“I have heard enough, Sam. I really don’t wanna talk to you right now”

I closed my phone and quietly walked out of the company for some fresh air. So yeah! She was the one to betray me, after all of those school years and college years!

I mean, I trusted her more than myself. She was with me from the start and we even knew each other so well that we moved out together and decided to live together!

We were closer than most of the sisters in America and she betrayed me. I mean, this is just the worst feeling. Why would she do this? How can she do this?

If it was anyone else, I would have accepted but I still can’t believe it even after I have heard it from her myself.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I have always gone through this and I think I have to bear this forever.

I decided to come back tomorrow because Ryan already fucked with my head. Does he think that I love him? Like what the fuck man? I don’t even care about you! Yeah maybe I had a crush on you but seriously who doesn’ have crushes in their teenage years?

And those crushes are mere attractions and sometimes we think it is love but it really isn't. It is the most rare case where there is real love in teenagers. 

And we were definitely not that. I don’t know the reason why he would think that I love him.

I went to my car. Yes, we both have our cars now. She always had hers anyway. 

I went inside and started driving. All my thoughts were making me go crazy because it was insane to think that I would meet him and have this very awkward conversation as the first thing.

I know I have to work under him because I can’t betray you like you did, Sam. It is not even betraying, it is just revenge but still I can’t do this to you.

So, I am gonna bear with thi job. See that jerk’s face every single day. All because of you.

I banged on the steering wheel in frustration.

I reached home and went inside. I knew she would be here but it was obvious that I was going to ignore her. I reached the living room and she was sitting there. She got up as she saw me and came to me.

“Listen Hannah--”

I went straight away to the stairs and then to my bedroom. This isn’t even for me. It is good for her too. I would really yell at her and destroy every fucking bond we built in these years.

I closed the door and sat on the bed. I felt like crying. Now what? I am gonna work under Ryan? This is like a bad dream.

I heard the doorbell ring but didn’t want to go down, so I just kept sitting, until my phone rang.

It was Sam, but I picked it up.

“Hey, I know we aren’t talking, but there's someone… who wants to meet you”

“Who is it?”

“I can’t tell you--”

“Fuck you Sam” I ended the call. She is acting like a complete bitch. Now she can’t even tell me who is the person on the door when she clearly knows that he or she wants to meet me?

I opened my door and went downstairs. I went towards the door, it was closed. “Who was it?” I asked Sam.

“Open the door”

Okay, this is insane. Don’t tell me she didn’t bother getting up and instead called me saying someone wanted to meet me so that I could come and open it? 

Oh God. 

I opened the door and looked at the person. 

My Fucking God.

“What the hell are you doing here!?” I almost yelled. I wanted to scream at the audacity of this person but I thought I’d rather stay calm because I don’t want him to think that he freaks me out.

“Nothing” he came inside and I got aside so that we don’t touch. He closed the door. 

“Ryan! What the hell?”

I looked at Samantha and it looked as if she knew who was coming and she wasn’t shocked at all, which was really getting on my nerves.

We used to share everything, when did she become like this?

“Get out Ryan” I whispered. “This is my house too and even if Samantha has allowed you in here, I ask you to get out with complete rights”

He came to me and came close. “Ryan!” I warned him but he came closer and closer till I hit the wall. I looked into his eyes. The best part about him, his eyes. So mesmerizing.

I looked sideways, I didn’t want to be captivated. 

He took my hand and took it near his face. I looked at him and he kissed it. I took it away and pushed him away.

“What the hell are you doing!?”

“Nothing. Just inviting you to come to work from tomorrow, baby”

Oh. My. Lord.
