[F2F] Havon | Sugarplum Day
Lavon had always been good at reading people, and Hanna was no exception. Not that it took a genius to figure out that something was wrong with Hanna. Perhaps ‘wrong’ wasn’t the correct term to use here, but rather ‘troubled’. He didn’t know what exactly had happened, or when, but he knew one thing for sure, though. Hanna hadn’t been acting like her usual self and Lavon was genuinely concerned about that. Sure, she was still smiling and laughing like she used to, but he couldn’t help but think that those were just an act of a pretense, hence his determination and stubbornness to find out what had been troubling her by asking her to talk to him that day, but to no avail.
Lavon wrapped his arms tighter around Hanna’s waist, holding her impossibly close to him as he murmured gentle words of encouragement and praise to soothe her, to give her courage and make her feel more comfortable. “You can tell me anything, sweetheart. I’m here for you.” He held her gaze; he wouldn’t let Hanna brush this off like what she did before, he was determined to help her through this. “You can do this, sweetheart. Just let them all out. I won’t think any less of you, I promise.”
Hanna looked at Lavon, her brow creased in a painful expression as she looked at him. If she told him everything...then she would have to tell him what happened to her and every person she told, they ended up looking at her differently. They ended up treating her like she was fragile. And Hanna hated that. But she knew that Lavon wasn't going to let it go. He'd made that obvious already.
With a deep breath she mustered the courage to let it all out, "I've been having bad dreams...And I'm at the slave market, getting put up to be sold after everyone has gotten their happy ever after...Tina, you, Hunter, Archer, Manny...Everyone...And I'm there and no one will bid one me until that last possible second a guard from here bids on me and then I wake up...I don't scream or anything. It's just..that guard...He did something to me a while ago...I just don't want that to happen to me..." Hanna explained, her eyes starting to well up with tears. "I feel like I'm getting left behind...My parents are standing their ground and pushing my brothers away, who are going off with Emmett and creating their own happy family. You have Kurt and your brothers...Manny is really close to his sisters...Even Tina has a bunch of people to go to, not just her siblings...And I'm happy...I'm so happy for everyone else, but I just...I don't know. I don't want it to seem like I'm being selfish and I don't want anyone to worry about me."
