Read Why Me? :: Chapter 1 | Tapas Community

Author's Note:

Okay so, this is one of my first tries at writing so I wanted to let you guys know, the perspectives will change but this is just so that you guys can get to know the main characters a little better and see things from a different perspective. If the text is italicized then Aiden is talking inside of Hannah's head or Hannah is talking to Aiden in her head and only the two of them can hear what is being said. when I put a lot of "~" in a row then it means that a short moment in time was skipped. If there is "~" in between a word then it means that the word is being lenghthend and emphasized more. That is about it, thank you for reading my story.

Hanna's POV:

I don't remember much of the last couple weeks, ever since the funeral everything seemed blurred but I needed to get over it. The funeral was 4 months ago and for some reason, it all started coming back to me about 3 weeks ago. I needed to take my mind off of things.

I was invited to a house party by a few people I go to school with. It all seems funny to think that less than a year I had everything I wanted... or at least I thought I did. A little while before the funeral happened is when everything started going downhill.

I had to choose between two dresses. This was the first time I had gone out since the accident. I didn't want it to seem like I was still broken. The first was a short sparkly dress that was flowy at the bottom and its front was shorter than its back. The second was a red little dress that was quite revealing but that was why I bought it at the store in the first place, to get out of my comfort zone. I ended up choosing the black one because I had bought it with Raven and I haven't used it since we were in the dressing rooms at the store. I was supposed to use it for her birthday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't really remember how or when I got to the party but I was already here and there was no turning back now. I just knocked on the door and they welcomed me in. I started to walk around when someone had handed me a drink. When I realized who it was, I started to panic. I really didn't want to talk to him but this was a good thing because if I managed to talk to him for at least a couple of minutes it could show people that I am fine.

He had his hand out still holding the drink. It took me everything to smile at him and take it. His eyes that were hazel on the inside and an emerald color on the outside were following me. Then he was the one to break the silence.

"Wow, you look great. It has been a while since we last hung out., how have you been?" he asked and I could tell that he either had too much to drink already or was stoned because of the way he spoke.

"Yeah, I've been good, you look great too. How've you been?" I asked as I tried to look anywhere but at him. When he took a while to answer I looked up to see why and he was staring at me. Not in the creepy stalkerish way, but in a way that looked as if he was trying to figure me out it still creeped me out though. When I looked at him I noticed how different he was then before. I had to get out of here because I felt like I was going to throw up. I said bye and tried to leave when he came in for a hug. I stood there waiting for the moment to end. His tall muscular frame was pushing against me and I could feel his biceps lock as he tried to walk me toward one of the closest doors.

I wriggled out of his grasp and I ran out of the house as fast as I could afraid to look back. I stopped after running down the block taking a left then a right then another left, which was pretty hard to do in heels. I went a few more paces forward and noticed a big house in front of me, I was not aware of where I was and I was really tired so I walked up to the house that had no cars in the driveway and presumed it was safe to rest here while I caught my breath.

I staggered toward the porch and fell down when I was at the front door of the house. I used the last of my energy to move myself to the left side inner wall of the porch and I drifted into sleep. I couldn't help it, I was soo tired.

Harry's POV:

The silence in the car was unbearable. Aiden was driving us home after he just caused a scene at our uncle's house. He had a valid reason but I have never seen him this mad and I was honestly starting to get worried. Finally, he decided to say something.

"I was just mad, I mean how could they keep that from us? It was a horrible thing to do," he said his anger still on his face. He couldn't hide his emotions and this was bad. He couldn't just show his emotions so openly. We would have to work on that but not right now. Perhaps at another time.

"So," I changed the subject. "How are things with Mel?" I asked realizing it was a bad thing to say right after it had come out of my mouth. His expression changed completely from anger to sadness then back to anger.

"Do NOT mention that horrible excuse of a human being to me, I haven't spoken to her for at least 2 months, the only reason she wanted to be with me was because of the money, surprising right?" He said as his angered expression slowly went away. "Anyway, I didn't mark her because I had known that she wasn't the one. I don't understand how people find out if she is 'the one' like what if your judgment is wrong?"

I didn't answer since I had been a little occupied because I smelled something... no, not something... It was someone. She smelled soo good and she was close, it took me everything to not make Aiden stop the car and run towards her scent. Aiden stopped at a gas station about 6 blocks away from our house.

Aiden's POV:

I hadn't noticed the smell before because I was mad but it smells really good. I got out of the car to pump gas and the smell got stronger as soon as I opened the door. It was amazing, I was drawn to the scent. It was filling me up and Melissa was nothing more than a distant memory. I felt like I could get on a high just by smelling her.

I hurried up and filled up the tank because I felt like I was going crazy. How could something, no someone, smell so good? I did my best to push the thought out of my mind and I couldn't wait to get home so that I don't have to worry about not focusing on the road ahead of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we were pulling up to the driveway I could smell it even more. "Shit, Do you smell that Aiden? The scent is really close." Harry said obviously worried. I pulled out my phone and saw that both Jasmine and Jazmine were starting to vamp run back this way from Vegas which would take about 2 almost 3 hours with a few breaks. This helped me calm down a little.

I walked over to the girl and it took everything I could to not bite her. She had looked utterly and absolutely amazing. Her small frame was laying on the porch wall and I swear my non-existent heart stopped for a second. She was about 5'3'' her light brown skin stood out and complimented her waist-length hair which was a light chestnut color.

I wasn't the only one to have noticed her. My brother was looking at her with wide eyes and he would have started drooling if I hadn't interrupted his thoughts. "Hey bro, she is at least 1/7th your age." he got really mad and was just about to say something but was interrupted by the girl waking up.

Hanna's POV:

I opened my eyes and everything was a little fuzzy, but I could still make out two tall figures standing in front of me. Shoot there were two people in front of me. I dragged myself as far back I could to the left side wall of the porch. My vision started to come back and I could finally see them.

"Damn they are so freaking hot," I thought to myself the one on the right (Aiden) had laughed while the other looked as clueless as I was. I was curious so I asked "What is so funny" and he shook his head and the guy next to him shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing it's just that I can see your booty shorts from here," he said as he shot me a toothy grin. His... errr... friend? Nudged him a little and gave him the death stare for a few seconds then turned to me. I heard the first one's voice in my head "I am honored to know that you think we are soo freaking hot and don't tell my brother what I can do, I don't want him to know that I can."

How the hell did he just do that? How did the other person not hear? This is not normal, maybe I am still asleep. This can't be real. I slapped myself and damn did that shit hurt. The one that was talking in my head started laughing as soon as I did while the other one had kneeled down and asked if I was okay and seemed really concerned.

This stuff that was happening was real, no... it can't be. "But it is princess, all of this is real." I looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes looking down on me while the other guy was smiling at me and I kid you not his eyes changed color from green to red then back to green.

After all of this, I finally realized... I was on their porch. I tried to get up but I fell right back down. The one that had been laughing at me somehow managed to get behind me fast enough to catch me and I heard him again "Hi there beautiful, how are you doing" I couldn't help but smile and I said, "I'm fine".

I couldn't stop thinking even though he was reading my mind "Oh my gosh I could feel his abs and his biceps" the smile on his face showed that he heard and I couldn't help but blush. He winked at me and it was everything and I even started to giggle.

"We should take her inside until she is able to walk by herself Aiden," said the guy in front of me that was quite nice throughout the whole encounter. They opened the door and The guy that I think was called Aiden carried me in bridal style to the kitchen. The other guy looked quite annoyed.

"She is mine I can feel it, she is the one," said the guy that had been kind and seemed genuinely concerned earlier. I just noticed how cute he was, I noticed that he was hot earlier but now that I got a better look I can see that he looks ah~ma~zing. His blue eyes made me feel like if I kept looking into them I would dive right into them. And his button-down shirt fit snug around his biceps and his abs were seeping through his shirt. His hair was about 2 inches long and was held up by gel slanting toward the right.

"I feel hurt, you didn't pay this much attention to detail when you were talking about me. I am the better looking one though right?" he said and I didn't understand how he could do that when he was in deep conversation with his brother.

He is really cute and the way he acts makes him sort of cuter than his brother but they are about the same. "You guys are as cute as each other" is said hoping that he didn't hear what I said before. His hair was about the same as his brother's but his was a bit shorter and was not held up by gel, it instead was pushed messily to the side but it was honestly kind of hot.

"Thank you for thinking I am hot princess, you look pretty hot yourself." He said and I started to blush again. I couldn't take this... I started to look anywhere but at him. Then I noticed how nice the kitchen looks.

After a while of looking around the guy who's name I didn't know asked me if I was hungry

After a while of looking around the guy who's name I didn't know asked me if I was hungry. "No, I am fine, thanks though," I said but a few seconds later my body deceived me and my stomach let out a small growl. This time both of them smiled and looked at me asking if I was sure. Before I could answer the question this time, the guy with the button-down shirt had walked away only to come back less than 10 seconds later with pasta in 3 bowls and set them down on the island and pulled up three chairs.

"So... are you going to tell me your name now?" I asked and they both started talking over each other and I could not understand A word of what they had just said.

The guy in the button-down shirt had started speaking. "Okay, so I am Harry and he is Aiden, he is my little brother and I have a question for you, why were you on our porch?".

Harry's POV:

As I asked the question I could hear her heart beating faster "Oh, well yeah... you see I was running from someone at a party and ended up here, I was dizzy and tired and I guess I passed out while trying to hide on your porch. I am sorry that you had to come home to me on your porch like that."

I was sad about this because when she had started talking her mood had completely changed and you would have to be really dumb or Aiden not to notice this. Aiden walked over to her and I know even though he has not yet told me that he believes that she is the one for him too. This can't be because you can only have one mate.

She will be mine. It is only a matter of time before it happens. I can feel it, she will be the last person I see before I go to sleep and the first person I see before I start my day. I know this all sounds crazy but I can feel it. She ended up on our porch out of every porch on this block for a reason.
