-Hannah POV-

"What do you guys wanna do today?" I asked walking into the room Finn and Kim were sharing. Logan trailed in behind me.

"How about we go hiking? I've always wanted to check the trails." Finn spoke first.

"That's great!" I smiled.

"No thanks." Kim said. "Dads taking me to the mall."

"Kimberly what is the big deal? I'm your mom...this sass you have going on needs to stop!" I frowned at her.

"You don't understand." Kim flipped her hair.

"Try me." I said. I hated this rift between Kim and I, we should be bonding during this time, not picking sides.

"It's Nate! You're pretending like he's our dad but he isn't!"

"He's trying Kim, you're not being fair." I folded my arms.

"You're not fair! You're being a total bitch to Dad!" Kim yelled at me.

"Kim!" I gasped.

Finn intervened. "Kim don't do that to Mom...if you knew that Dad abused her you wouldn't say that!"

I didn't stay to listen to Kim and Finn argue. I grabbed Logan's hand and marched out of the room and towards mine. Tears rolled down my eyes.

"Woah woah." Jack said as I passed him, he followed me down the hall. "Han what's wrong?"

"I wanna be alone." I said.

But Jack followed us right until we were in the room. Logan flopped down in front of the TV like the innocent kid he is.

"Wanna talk about it?" Jack said quietly. We were standing in one of the bedrooms.

"Kim is....so much like you! I can't handle it." I whisper-yelled. "She's impossible!"

"What happened?" Jack frowned and looked concerned. He stepped closer while I explained what went down in the other room.

"Oh Hannah, you know that's not true." Jacks face fell.

"She hates me Jack and I - " I started but Jack cut me off so unexpectedly by cupping my face and pressing his lips against mine.

I was shocked. But our lips moved in sync, Jack was gentle and pulled me closer. This was something...I couldn't describe it. I was afraid of describing how I felt because nobody made me feel that way.

After a few minute, Jack pulled away but his hand cupped my cheeks affectionately. Then I came to my senses and drew back, away from the drug I couldn't walk away from.

"No." I shook my head. "You can't just...what the hell was that?"

A slow smile crept onto Jacks face, he tried to hide it.

"How did it feel?" He asked smoothly.

"Stop!" I turned my back to him. "I know what you're doing, but stop it."

"I'm not doing anything, you're just lying to yourself." Jack said loudly.

"Please go. Just go." I said.

And he left. But I could still smell Jack on me, still taste him on my lips. But what scares me most was how badly I wanted more of him.

-

"So the wedding is in a weeks time." Paola said to Maggie and I the next morning.

The crew was having breakfast at a local cafe. We were the only huge group here, it was small but really cute and tropical like.

Nate and Sammy weren't here, they were out fitting on tux's for the wedding. Nate was busy helping Sammy so much that we don't spend time together. Last night he hadn't come to the room.

"Paola you have a sister right?" Jack asked her.

Why was he asking if she has a sister? I thought angrily then slapped myself mentally. I'm not jealous.

"Yes." Paola laughed. "Step sister actually! Here she is!"

A beautiful girl walked in with Sammy and Nate behind her. She wasn't as pretty as Paola, who was naturally good looking.

"Everyone meet Eva!" Paola introduced us to her. She took a liking to Jack who didn't seem that bothered. Not that I cared.

We all continued our breakfast, Nate sat next to Eva and Matt. He didn't even look at me or say much since walking in. Logan went over to sit on his lap - then he smiled and seemed fine.

"Where's the wedding?" I asked Paola to distract myself.

"The ceremony will be in a chapel." Sammy smiled widely.

"Cathedral of San Juan Bautista." Paola told us. "It's beautiful!"

"I've always wanted to see a chapel." Maggie said excitedly.

"And then we're booking a hall for the reception." Sammy added stealing a bit of Paola's pancakes.

"I already have a few outfits." Maggie nudged me.

"I was actually thinking of getting something here for Kim and I. " I told her.

"We could head out later today." I told Kim who sat beside me.

We haven't spoken since her diva tantrum today. She wouldn't look me in the eye.

"Sure." She said quietly.

I turned back to Maggie who went on about Carter being jealous and Kenny wanting to hit him. I was listening when I felt someone's feet kick mine lightly . I looked up and saw Jack smirking like an idiot.

He was across from me, I felt his leg brush against mine. Butterflies erupted in my tummy but I made a point of ignoring him. What was he playing at?

I almost jumped when his thigh brushed my upper thigh, almost between my legs.

"I'm gonna get an extra muffin." I stood up and walked to the counter. He made me nervous and I hated it. My pulse was too jumpy.

I took a deep breath and pretended to look at the glass counter with muffins in it.

"Why so jittery?" Jack whispered behind me, his breath against my neck made me inhale sharply.

"Jack! What the hell is your problem?" I asked in a low tone.

"What do you mean?" He faked confusion.

"God you're so impossible." I chuckled and shook my head.

Jack smirked and was about to say something when Nate was beside me. He leaned down and kissed my lips softly, right in front of Jack who could probably see Nate's tongue slip into my mouth.

"Hmm I missed you babe." He pulled back.

When I opened my eyes Jack was already walking to the table. His shoulders slightly hunched. I shouldn't feel guilty and uneasy but I did.

I know I shouldn't. Jack is the one who abused me and cheated on me! How do you even look pass all that and forgive him?

Things just didn't make sense anymore.
