Drama Queen

I'm Hanna Vaughn. Remember that name. Because one day you're going to see it in shining lights.

Not The End. || A Hanna Vaughn Self Para.

Hanna pulled one last photo from her wall. A blonde boy with a huge grin and an older girl with red hair stared back at her. It was a picture from her first day of high school. She was supposed to have it taken by herself but Tim wouldn't stop whining about him not being in it. Hanna smiled, placing the photo down in the box that was already filled with all the photographs from her wall. A hundred eyes stared back at her. All the faces of everyone she'd ever loved. Everyone she was leaving behind. 

She got the phone call yesterday. A talent scout had spotted her at one of her rehearsals. They wanted her to move out to  California to star in a up-coming TV series. How could she ever say no to that? It was everything she'd ever wanted and more.

A part of her didn't want to go. She was content with staying in Evanston. But Hanna wanted more than "content". That's why she was leaving. 

She'd finally filled the last of her boxes. Her room looked so bare. Like she'd stripped it of all her memories and stuffed them all into cardboard boxes. It felt horrible. But at the same time she felt refreshed. Like this was the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

She picked up the box of photographs, leaving her bedroom behind her and walking to the Taxi she and Tamara were taking to the airport.

It wasn't the end. Just the next chapter.

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[thathighschoolnerd]

I won’t bring up the whole story about cheese, since that.. might actually not sound interesting to you, and I’m not.. I’m not trying to bore you here.. But indeed, if you say it in that way, it kind of sounds gross. 

[hanna-vaughn]

You couldn't bore me.  You're a ball of babbling and facts.

[thathighschoolnerd]

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[thathighschoolnerd]

Yeah, I don’t.. I don’t really think that you should know all that much about cheese after all. I mean, unless… you want to be someone who works with.. cheese, in the future. Like, if you’d want to make cheese, you should probably know something about it, but I’m not sure if that’s actually your dream job or a nice hobby, even though it might be, so..

[hanna-vaughn]

No, no. I don't see any cheese in my future. One thing I know about cheese that it has like bacteria on it, like living bacteria. I think it was bacteria, it might have been something else. It's kinda gross if you think about it. 

[thathighschoolnerd]

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[thathighschoolnerd]

I, um.. yes. You seem to be a nice person and you’re quite funny, you know and um, you like cheese and cheese is good, so.. I know it maybe wasn’t the best reason, but um, yeah. 

[hanna-vaughn]

Cheese is very nutritious. I think. I don't actually know all that much about cheese.... Thanks, Simon. 

[thathighschoolnerd]

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[thathighschoolnerd]

Don’t worry, really. It’s.. pretty normal to make jokes out of things that didn’t come out right, and it.. it doesn’t really make you an ass, so.. you really can feel free to make some kind of jokes if you want to. It’s fine.. I don’t think it’ll make me like you less. 

[hanna-vaughn]

So, you do like me then?

[thathighschoolnerd]

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[thathighschoolnerd]

Um, it’s okay. It’s fine, it’s, uh.. go ahead, if you want to. 

[hanna-vaughn]

Well, now I can't. You're all awkward and stuff and I'll feel like a total ass. 

[thathighschoolnerd]

It would be absolutely great if my brother could stop touching my stuff.

[hanna-vaughn]

I'm trying to find a way to respond to that without making a dirty joke out of it. Surprisingly really difficult.  

[hanna-vaughn]

→ Jay.

[justarebel-collins]

If he would now hold a gun, he would use it to shoot either her or himself. If he’d have a knife, he would stab either of them. He basically just wanted to end this conversation, but somehow didn’t know how to do it with words. It was easy to just show someone your middle finger, but it didn’t always mean that it was the end of the subject. In this case, it would make everything probably even worse, and since Hanna was stubborn, she would probably never leave. “Fuck,” Jay sighed, rolling his eyes. “Fine,” Okay, sure, he was going to try to explain this, without making her even more confused. “There is that thing called ‘Fuck it’ moment, or some fucked up shit like that, huh?” He didn’t even wait for an answer. “Yeah, it was one of those moments. And since you were already there for me and didn’t tell me to stop whining….. I don’t know, this is just something I always felt like doing, and then I literally just thought ‘Hey, fuck it. In the worst case, she’ll just hit me,’ and that happened. So that’s it, thank you, and now you can finally sleep at night,” He forced a huge smile, but it was of course all ironic and sarcastic. But he at least explained..

[hanna-vaughn]

Hanna didn't know what answer she expected but it definitely wasn't that. She frowned silently at him for maybe a longer time than she noticed. She then turned on her heel and began to walk away from him and the house. She liked to think the reason she did that was because she'd gotten the answer that she went there for but in reality the reason she left was because she didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. Hanna got the answer she wanted but ended up leaving with more questions swimming around her head than she had in there to begin with.

The NEWS are mostly about serial killers, scandals and bullying now.

[thathighschoolnerd]

Yeah. Tried to. When he gets mad, he usually starts talking really fast and loud and doesn’t really make any sense, since he also replaces some English words with German ones and sounds rather pointless.. But after all, when he calmed down, he explained that his point is that if people talk too much, it might get annoying and unpleasant. 

[hanna-vaughn]

Oh, that sucks. 

[hanna-vaughn]

→ Jay.

[justarebel-collins]

Jay raised his eyebrows when she started talking. Of course it was about this. It couldn’t be about anything else, right? She couldn’t just come and say ‘Hey, how are you?’ and then leave or die or something more pleasant. She of course had to ask. Right, women and their curiosity, feelings and other bullshit. Jay wasn’t sure how he was supposed to explain, since he wasn’t even sure what was happening in his head when he kissed her. He crossed his arms, wanting to lean against the door frame, but decided not to, since this conversation was going to end in few minutes. “Let’s say I was high. Or drunk. Or whatever sounds better to you,” he shrugged.

[hanna-vaughn]

The question of why Hanna wasn't just avoiding him popped into her head/ Maybe all she needed with some sort of closure on the subject and then she could forget it ever happened and could go back to avoiding the asshole who stood in front of her."Let's say... Let's say?! That doesn't explain a single fucking thing, Jay!" She said with a raised voice but she wasn't exactly shouting. "I'm not leaving here until you tell me." She said, calming down slightly and shrugging. 

[thathighschoolnerd]

[thathighschoolnerd]

My brother used to repeat that. He just used different words and kept shouting, but that is kind of what he said. Or tried to.

[hanna-vaughn]

Tried to?

[hanna-vaughn]

→ Jay.

[justarebel-collins]

It took him few minutes to stand up, walk down the stairs and open the door. At first, he didn’t even want to move from the bedroom, but after all figured out that it would be better. Maybe it was just someone wanting to talk to his parents who weren’t currently at home.. or someone he could just tell to fuck off. He opened the door, sighing. “Wh-” He started, but after looking up at the person.. suddenly decided to not finish. “No.” He said instead, really tempted to just shut the door.

[hanna-vaughn]

Hanna went straight into talking, deciding she wanted to get this over and done with as soon as possible. "You kissed me." She said, bluntly. "I want to know why. Because that kiss could have potentially ruined my relationship the guy I love and I don't even know why you thought it would be okay do that, Like, come on, seriously? So basically, I want answers." She finished, letting out a breath of air. "And I swear to god If I don't get them I will punch you in the face." Hanna decided to add quickly, feeling more and more furious by the second.
