Him

Chapter Seventeen

Hannah's P.O.V.

"Ross, I'm in love with you."

I was looking Ross directly in the eyes. He isn't saying anything. Why isn't he saying anything?!

My heart started to hurt and I could feel tears starting to brim my eyes.

"You do?"

"Yes, Ross. I wouldn't say that jokingly, I don't just go around throwing out things like that."

"Really?"

Why doesn't he believe me? Is it really that hard to believe?

I reached over and grabbed Ross' face, I looked him straight in the eyes, "Ross Shor Lynch, I'm in love with you."

Ross gave me a small smile, that eventually turned into a huge grin, "You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear that from you. I love you so much."

Ross started leaning in to kiss me, but I quickly turned my head and moved away from him, "Ross I'm not sure if we can be together, though. I'm terrified that something bad will happen. What if we get into a fight and you leave me? What if you... hurt me? I couldn't go through another broken heart, it'll kill me."

"Hannah," Ross put his hand under my chin, gently moving my head so I was looking at him, "I would never hurt you, or leave you. You mean everything to me and I wouldn't ever want to see you hurt, especially if it was because of me."

"Passengers, please fasten your seat belts, we are going to start ascending into the air here shortly. Thank you." The lady over the intercom spoke, causing those of us that haven't buckled up to do so.

Ross and I were already seat belted, so we were fine.

"Ross, I don't know..."

"Just give me a shot, if I mess up you don't have to be with me anymore and I'll stop harassing you. Please." Ross begged, grabbing my hand in both of his.

"... Fine, but only because you're annoying me right now."

"Thank you." Ross sighed of relief, "I've finally got my girl. Hannah, you don't know how happy I am right now."

Ross was slightly bouncing in his seat. We were getting up in the air and I started looking out the window. I had window seat, again.

Last time I was asleep, but now I'm wide awake. I'm terrified of heights.

"Ross."

"Yes, babe?"

"That's going to take some time to get used to..." I sighed, looking over at Ross, "Can I hold your hand? I'm scared of heights."

"You don't need to ask, silly." He held his hand out to me, "Here."

I took his hand, intertwining our fingers together. His hand was so big compared to mine, it felt nice to just be able to hold his hand.

All these feelings that I've been holding back just come spilling through. I feel in my heart that I love him, I know I love him and I know he loves me back.

The 30 minute flight went by extremely fast.

Right now we are all finding taxis to take us to the hotel.

Rydel and Ell hailed a taxi and got in together. Same with Stormie and Mark, Rocky and Riker, and Ryland and Sav.

Everyone but Ross and I were able to hail a taxi. I never thought it was that hard to get a taxi drivers attention.
