Live In The Now (Sequel to Let's Forget The Past)

CHANGE IS GOOD

THE NEXT DAY
Hannah's POV

Gorgeous.

Breathtaking.

Beautiful.

Completely fucking alluring.

Lying in bed those are the only words that seem to come to mind as I stare at the sleeping blonde.

Watching her chest slowly rise and fall i start to reminisce on last night.

~Flashback~

"Sing to me" Courtney tells me as we lie next to each other in bed.

"Okay" I agree. "What do you wanna hear?" I ask my best friend.

"Golden Slumbers" she tells me bringing a small smile to my face.

The night of my sister Manny's party a lot happened and when I ran to Courtney for comfort she sang me the exact same song.

Nodding my head and secretly deciding on another song I begin to sing the lyrics.

"Just close your eyes" I start causing Courtney to quickly look up at me. "the sun is going down" I sing with a smile on my face. "You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now" I sing while gently stroking my hand through her hair. "Come morning light..you and I'll be safe and sound" I lastly harmonize before lightly kissing her head.

"You remembered it?" Courtney smiles through her tears.

"Yeah" I giggle. "I mean, The Hunger Games is only one of your favorite movies and you made me sing it a gazillion times" I add.

When the girls and I were in third grade Courtney was getting picked on by a girl in school so Brooke bit her and I punched her.

That same day we stayed the night at Isabella's and Courtney made me sing that song to make her feel better.

I completely sucked at singing but I didn't care as long as it cheered her up.

Looking over at the reflection of the moonlight beaming onto her ocean blue eyes I push a strand of hair behind her ear.

Underneath the covers, Courtney lifts my arm up before inching closer and cuddling my side.

Draping my arm around her from the back I snuggle my chin onto her shoulder before falling asleep along with the blonde.

~End Of Flashback~

Stirring around in bed I block my eyes from the burning sun.

Looking at the alarm clock I remember that I have to be somewhere.

While trying to get up Courtney grabs my hand so I won't be able to remove it from her waist.

Stunned at the gesture I look over at her, not sure what to do.

"Stay" Courtney says turning around to look at me.

"I have to meet Manny and my parents but I'll come back" I tell her.

"Promise?" my best questions.

"I promise" I assure her. "Give me like three hours tops and I'll be back" I add giving her a smile before getting up to head to the bathroom.
