Trying our luck... (Hannah)

[Fontes]

A few hours ago, when leaving school, Fontes found out that Hannah Pierce, his girlfriend, came all the way from New York to Californa just to be with him. It seems she was living in a small appartment, and she could be kicked out at any minute, since she was a minor, and was living on that place on her own, without letting the landlord know it.

And obviously Fontes didn't want Hannah to live on the street. And plus, she came all the way to Californa, and she was already attending to #259. It would be a shame if she had to go back to New York. So, Fontes decided to try something...

They were currently at the elevator, on their way to Fontes' appartment, taking the small time the elevator took to go up by checking if their lips were the same as they were, last time they were together. As the elevator's door opened, Fontes would take Hannah's hand, so they would walk side-by-side to the appartment's door.

There it was... Fontes had already got used to his new home... still, today he flinched, not opening it right away. Instead, he turned to Hannah, looking at her straight in the eyes, with the most serious expression she has ever saw on his face.

"Hannah..."

He would put his hands on her shoulders.

"... I... I will do my best to convince them... Though, I must say that... I won't promise anything. What I do promise is that... whatever happens... I love you. You know that, don't you?"

He wouldn't open the door right away... First, he'd like Hannah to reply, however she would like to.

[Hannah Pierce]

The afternoon had been spent wonderfully. They played games, laughed, drank soda, and ate junk food at the arcade, having a great time. It was like they had never been seperated. There was the hot make out session in the car racing booth, the dark enclosed game was perfect. As soon as the game was over, Hannah winning of course, she had kissed him, and that had turned into a wonderful long kiss.

Then they had taken her vespa to his place, he holding onto her like before. It was nice, to have him back. To feel whole again. They had pulled up and parked, and he had led her through the building. There in the elevator they had kissed while it rose to the floor that he lived on now. The ding of the elevator bell told them they had arrived, and they headed to his door. Hannah's stomach felt as though it was about to burst from being so nervous.

"Hannah..."

Hannah looked up at him, she could tell that he was nervous, but she had a feeling she was a great deal more so. She had spent tons of time at Fontes' back when they were in New York but she had never really tried all that hard to get to know them. She she knew that outside of their son they had no real connection to her.

"... I... I will do my best to convince them... Though, I must say that... I won't promise anything. What I do promise is that... whatever happens... I love you. You know that, don't you?"

She nodded, looking up into his eyes she gave him a weak smile.

"I know you do. And I love you too. And don't worry whatever happens happens and we can just move with it, and let it go. We'll figure things out."

[Fontes]

With a deep breath, Fontes inserted the key into the lock, and by turning it, the door would open. As he would open the door, he would place his finger by his lips, singing to Hannah to keep quiet. Then, he would point to the floor, a sign for Hannah to stay at the entrance.

Fontes: "Mom, dad, I'm home!!!"

As his parents replyed, their voices came from the kitchen. He wend there, making another gesture so Hannah would stay at the entrance. Fontes would enter the kitchen, and he would find his mother preparing dinner, while his father was reading the newspaper. Fontes would now stay at the kitchen's entrance, his face turning a little red.

Fontes: "... Mom... dad... there's something I'd like to talk to you about..."

He would scratch the back, his face still red. He didn't knew how to start this.

Mother: "Aww, did something happened? Anyone at school mistreated you?"

Fontes: "No, no, it's... it's nothing like that! It's..."

Fontes would look down, his eyes not meeting his parents, but the tiled floor instead.

Fontes: "It's... about Ha-"

He was about to speak, when suddenly he would be interrupted by the squealing voice of his sister...

Sister: "HANNAH, YOU'RE HERE!!!"

At this exact moment, Fontes would FREEZE! Except for his heart, which would beat to the point thatit could almost force it's way out of Fontes' ribcage. At this moment, his 9 year old sister would get into the kitchen, bumping Fontes out of the way, pulling Hannah by her hand.

Sister: "Hey, mommy, daddy, look! Hannah is here!!!"

And there is was... Fontes' sister has just exposed Hannah to Fontes' parents, in the bluntest possible way. As for Fontes...



... he would just stay on the floor, for a while... maybe the cold floor tiles would help cooling off his head.

[Hannah Pierce]

As they stepped inside, Hannah could easily say that she had never been more nervous in her entire life. But it wasn't true. The time that Twitch and Fontes were fighting for her, because someone had beat her up, when she lay in the hospital wing. It was the time that she was the most nervous. But now she could almost forget all about that time, and focus soley on the time now.

Fontes motioned for her to stay, and be quiet. Hannah nodded quickly setting her bag down. She sighed as she stood there nervously. Tugging on t he end of her pony tail nervously, watching, waiting, as he went into the kitchen to talk to his parents. Hannah stood there fidgeting as she waited for Fontes to come over and get her.

"HANNAH, YOU'RE HERE!!!"

Hannah's head shot up. Caroline?! Oh... hell!

"Oh hey.. Caroline."

After an over exuberant hug. The girl grabbed her hand, and she being stronger than Hannah, sadly, she was drug through the apartment and into the kitchen. Hannah could do nothing but stumble behind the girl. Watching Fontes basically fall on the ground she looked up at his parents with a deep blush on her face.

"Umm.. hi .. Miss.. Mister.. Makua.. I umm.. umm.. I .. erm.. Fontes.. he .. umm.. well I came here.. from New York. .. you see and umm.. we were hopin.. uhhh..."

Hannah looked at Fontes, hoping that he would be able to help her somehow, somehow be able to say what she couldn't say.

[Fontes]

There he was, laying down on the floor, his brain still trying to process the major screw up that just happened. His eyes were opened, but he couldn't see... His ears were currently unnable to apture any surrounding noises. All he had, at this time... was his own thoughts.

"... (Oh shit... what now. WHAT NOW?! I was hoping to get my parents prepared, but my sister simply stepped in, and released the bomb even before I had the chance to get it ready! This can't be good... My parents are gonna freak out... they'll call her parents, and her parents will come here to get her back! This is it... we're screwed!)..."

To Fontes, it all seemed lost... However, that's because he had NO idea of what was going on outside his head. Fontes' mother, Elsa, aproached Hannah.

Elsa: "Carolina, can you please go to your room for a bit?"

Carolina: "Aww, but I wanna be here with Hannah!"

Elsa: "Please do as I tell you and go."

Carolina, Fontes' sister, let go Hannah's arm, and went to her room, unhappily mumbling some words that she would be the only one to understand. Elsa placed her hand on Hannah's back, and gently pulled her inside the kitchen, near the table. She pulled a chair, and while motionint her hand to it, so Hannah would know that was for her to sit down, she looked at Fontes.

Elsa: "Ehm... now, how are we supposed to wake him up...?"

To this, Fontes' father got up his chair, and kneeled in front of Fontes, who was still spaced out.

Arlindo: "Yo, kid... want me to fill the socks drawer for tonight, or something?"

For those who haven't read anything from #552 regarding Fontes and Hannah, it's best to explain that Fontes usually has condoms on his socks drawer, in his bedroom. And it's his father that supplies them, due to working for a condoms company. Can't say Fontes will have trouble getting protection...

This alone was enough for Fontes to get back up, fast as possible... however, as he woke, he would look at his father with a rather... annoyed look on his eyes.

Fontes: "... Will... you... shut up?"

Elsa placed her hand on her mouth, hidding her giggling.

Elsa: "Hahahaha... Well, now that you're up, I guess you can sit down with us, and... I don't think Hannah will be able to tell what's going on all by herself."

By now, Fontes' mother pretty much knew how shy Hannah could be. Specially at this moment. Elsa didn't knew what was up... but one thing was certain... It was pretty serious. Fontes would sit down right next to Hannah, and after a few deep breaths to regain his composure, and while holding Hannah's hand, he'd speak.

Fontes: "Well... Let's see... I'm still trying to digest the whole thing, too. As you know, I missed her a lot... And she missed me too. To the point that she pretty much ran away from home, and come here to Long Beach. She came here all the way from New York to see me. Seems like she managed to get a small place to stay, but... As you know, she's 15, and she can't stay in a house on her own. She might get herself kicked out sooner or later."

He would now turn to Hannah, kissing her cheek, attempting to keep her calm.

Fontes: "Is this it, or is there anything else I skipped?"

[Hannah Pierce]

Fontes' mom was someone that Hannah had always liked. She was sweet and kind, Hannah wasn't so sure about his dad though. Not because he was mean merely that Hannah was too shy to talk to him much. Still though, it was nice to know that they weren't upset for because of her. They roused Fontes, and Hannah sat there as he sat beside her.

"Well... Let's see... I'm still trying to digest the whole thing, too. As you know, I missed her a lot... And she missed me too. To the point that she pretty much ran away from home, and come here to Long Beach. She came here all the way from New York to see me. Seems like she managed to get a small place to stay, but... As you know, she's 15, and she can't stay in a house on her own. She might get herself kicked out sooner or later."

Fontes kissed her cheek, making the blonde blush in front of his parents, but she didn't worry too much about it. They had been close since they started going out.

"Is this it, or is there anything else I skipped?"

"Umm.. no.. no that's about it.. I umm.. left a note for my parents and umm.. packed up my things. I wanted to move here.. and they wouldn't.. and I couldn't stay.. and umm.. umm.. I just couldn't.. I tried! I really did but.. but I just.. needed to be with Fontes again. I .. I know we're young.. but I want it to work.. and.. I want it.. to be.. happy.. and I can only be happy.. with him."

[Fontes]

As Fontes and Hannah ender their explanation, Fontes' father couldn't help but burst into laughter. Not exactly a crazy laugh, but it was pretty hearable. Fontes lifted an eyebrow, wondering why was his father like that.

Fontes: "Ehm... Dad? ... You ok?"

After a few seconds, Arlindo, Fontes' father, would stop laughing, and speak.

Arlindo: "Well... how should I put this?... Well... We knew Hannah was coming."

Fontes' eyes opened as wide as they could, his jaw dropping. No words came out of his mouth, but his lips demonstrated what he would say, if his voice would demonstrate presence...

Fontes: "... (... What the fuck...?)..."

Fontes' mother proceeded with the explanation...

Elsa: "To put it simple, you are not the only ones with each other's phone numbers... Your father exchanged his number with Hannah's parents. Call it a way to get the families more aquainted. As Hannah left New York, the first thing her mother did was call your father, to let us know in advance..."

Fontes' jaw back up, he was still trying to get it all, scratching the top of his head.

Fontes: "Wait a minute... you two knew she was coming... And you didn't told me?! What the hell?!"

Fontes' father chuckled a bit.

Arlindo: "That's simple... We would like for it to be a surprise. And that's not all... We agreed with Hannah's parents on something..."

Right now, Fontes' mother would get up her chair, and take a few steps closer to Hannah, standing near her, now.

Elsa: "Hannah... Would you like to live with us?"

At this very moment... Fontes froze. His face, his arms, his legs... He became a statue, as all this information struggled to get into his head.

Fontes: "... (... what... the... fuck...?!)..."

[Hannah Pierce]

Hannah could only stare as Fontes' father burst out in laughter. She had no idea what was so funny, this situation was serious! And he was there laughing as if nothing could be funnier. The girl sat there and waited with a look of utter confusion on her face.

Fontes tried to calm his father down and it worked for a moment long enough at least for them to explain that they had known all long Hannah was coming. Along with Fontes, her jaw dropped, classic anime style, there was just no way to prevent it. How?! When?! Why?!

Apparently, when they had found her note, her mom had called Fontes' parents and told them she was on the way. And then his mom rose and came to Hannah. Her mouth closed now, brown eyes following the woman as she knelt down and looked into Hannah's eyes.

"Hannah... Would you like to live with us?"

Hannah's eyes widened, then softened, looked over at Fontes who seemed to be in as much shock if not more than she was. She was shocked her parents were even letting her think of staying it had never crossed her mind that her parents would actually agree to such a thing, she figured if they called they would have told the Makua's to put Hannah on the first plane back to NYC.

Looking back at his mom, Hannah could only nod because tears quickly streamed down her cheeks and she burst out in tears clinging to Elsa. The woman hugged her back, and Hannah clung to her. She missed her family dearly, but the decision to come here had been made and she was certainly not going to go back now. She didn't cry long, but it was just enough to get some of the frustration out.

"I.. I would.. I .. I have a few things.. at my place.. and.. and yeah.. I would .. um.. did my parents.. say anything? Are they.. sending.. some stuff... or no?"

Hannah asked this amid her tears that she furiously brushed from her cheeks as she looked at his family trying to discern what her parents thought of this whole sudden arrangement. Hannah's body instantly sought out Fontes scooting her chair close so that she could lean against him for support.

[Fontes]

"I.. I would.. I .. I have a few things.. at my place.. and.. and yeah.. I would .. um.. did my parents.. say anything? Are they.. sending.. some stuff... or no?"

Arlindo: "Why, yes... I think they will be sending your PC, and some extra clothing. I think that was it, right, Elsa?"

Fontes' father looked at Elsa, and she nodded back to him, confirming what he said. As Hannah leaned to Fontes, she would find him completely... how to say...



... still not moving. The shock caused by the idea of Hannah and Fontes living under the same roof seemed to be too great for Fontes to endure just like that. His arms... his legs... his whole body was frozen! E didn't even twitch a finger. He was breathing, but that could barely be noticed. His eyes, covered by his hair, were looking forward, at no direction in particular.

Elsa and Arlindo looked at how their son looked like, and couldn't avoid to find it funny. Fontes' father sneaked behind him, and with his face next to his ear...

"... Shall I fill the drawer for tonight?"

At the exact same second, Arlindo would meet Fontes' fist, coming up as fast as it could, clashing on his dad's forehead. Elsa would jump in surprise, and then go to her husband, who was now laying on the floor, a bit spaced out.

Elsa: "Honey, are you alright?!"

Arlindo: "Hey... look at all the fireflies... but I don't wanna go to jail, why do I have to wear pants?"

With this, Fontes would look back, totaly recovered, now... He would find his dad on the floor, mumbling random and logic-less speech.

Fontes: "Ehm... Sorry, dad... reflexes, you know how it works..."

... Not like his father would hear him, for now, anyway. Fontes would get out of his chair, and gently pulling Hannah...

Fontes: "Ehm... mom... I think it's best for us to go to my room, now, right?"

Fontes would speak with an embarrassed grin on his face, for what happened to his dad... He would now turn to Hannah.

Fontes: "Well, shall we, love?"

He would then get closer, and whisper to her ear...

Fontes: "... might as well show you where WE will sleep, hehehe..."

[Hannah Pierce]

"Why, yes... I think they will be sending your PC, and some extra clothing. I think that was it, right, Elsa?"

Oh Thank God!!! Her parents had turned out to be pretty cool. She had thought they were nothing but selfish, because they were allowed to move the whole family around to chase their dreams but Hannah was not allowed to move her family to chase her own dreams. But that was fine, she had gone off and chased her own. She had a feeling that her father was behind the whole not dragging her back to NY thing.

"Thank you both, for your kindness in letting me stay here with Fontes. I promise to be no trouble."

She didn't even mind chores she had done them her whole life so if they wanted her to help out doing something aorund the house she would of course help out as much as she could. Fontes' father moved over and whispered something in his sons' ear, which Fontes, still in shock seemed to decide to retaliate. Qucikly his fist rose and popped his father right in the face.

Hannah couldn't help but giggle slightly as his father fell to the floor, his mother rushed over, and Fontes seemed to wake up from his little trance.

"Well, shall we, love?"

"... might as well show you where WE will sleep, hehehe..."

Hannah beamed, blushed, and nodded. Following Fontes back to his room letting his mother, and father figure things out. As well as letting his sister do whatever she was doing. What Hannah wanted more than anything was just to be alone with Fontes. He was a great guy, and she did love him. he treated her like a princess and it meant the world to the young girl.

Inside his room, Hannah took off her shoes and put her bag down by them. She crossed the room and with a yawn and a stretch she plopped down on the bed, and rubbed her tired eyes. She barely slept, she couldn't sleep well in that apartment, it was much too noisy and more than that it wasn't comfortable sleeping on the floor. Letting out a big yawn she looked over at Fontes and smiled.

"I can't believe it. We live together. We get to share a bed and.. I don't.. have to go anywhere to see you because you'll be right here."

Hannah was all too excited about the way this was going to work for them. It was amazing, she couldn't wait to move forward in their lives.

"I hope you have room in here and in your closet for some of my stuff."

[Fontes]

Fontes' room was pretty much the same size as his other, back in New York. Same furniture, and all... the only diference was it's displacement. In the end, it looked as if his entire room was transported all the way from New York, and the furniture simply switched places, to make it look new.

"I can't believe it. We live together. We get to share a bed and.. I don't.. have to go anywhere to see you because you'll be right here."

Fontes would be closing the door, as she would speak, laying on the bed. He wouldn't want his parents or his sister to annoy them, right now... SPECIALLY his sister!

"I hope you have room in here and in your closet for some of my stuff."

Fontes would now get on the bed as well, laying down, and wrapping his arms around Hannah, he would give her one big kiss on her lips, while running his fingers up her spine, like he usually does. once their lips parted, he would speak...

"We'll see about that, but I don't think it'll be hard to get space... By the way..."

Fontes would speak, as he would pass his fingers on her cheek.

"... You've been in Long Beach for a while already, right? So... made any friends already, by any chance?"

A little casual chat wouldn't be a bad idea, right?

[Hannah Pierce]

"We'll see about that, but I don't think it'll be hard to get space... By the way..."

Hannah smiled. She lay there in his arms, and closed her eyes snuggling up into his arms like she had been unable to do for a long time. The time apart had not made them grow apart but it had certainly made the heart grow fonder. She knew that she would never really be able to get by without Fontes in her life, he was crucial.

"... You've been in Long Beach for a while already, right? So... made any friends already, by any chance?"

Hannah's brows rose, and her eyes opened. She pulled back from Fontes' chest and looked up into his eyes curiously. A while? Hadn't he heard her earlier.

"I told you, I've only been here for two days. Today was my first day at school. So no, I haven't met any new friends or anything."

It was true, she hadn't been here long enough and she didn't consider the creepy fat guy that lived next door in the apartment her friend either. He was more like.. a creepy.. perverted.. wish he was dead kind of thing. She looked at him and shrugged.

"I guess I will later, but right now, no. How about you, you've been here for a month on your own, have you met any friends?"

Hannah asked curiously as she looked up into his eyes. She was all too curious of the people that he had met and was surrounding himself with now that he was in California instead of in New York. She hoped the people here were better and nicer than the people in the east had been. Perhaps there were actually nice people here and the like.

[Fontes]

"I told you, I've only been here for two days. Today was my first day at school. So no, I haven't met any new friends or anything."

Fontes would let out a laughter, placing his hands behind his head, laying on the bed, as she got away from him.

"Well... Don't tell me you've forgotten when did you met me. Only one day of school means nothing, if you think of it that way, hehehe..."

Exactly... They've met on Hannah's first day of school, back at #552. He still remembered it... He was making a turn, and they bumped right into each other. She was going to fall, but Fontes managed to catch her. After a small conversation, they became friends, and... after certain events which do not need to be mentioned right now... they ended up together.

"I guess I will later, but right now, no. How about you, you've been here for a month on your own, have you met any friends?"

"Weeeeelll... On my first day, I've encountered the school's headmaster... doesn't seem to be a bad folk. Or maybe he was nice just because I was new, who knows... Then... two days ago, something like that... I've ran into two girls... One of them seemed to be a bookworm, who's studying medicine. Name's Emily. Doesn't seem to be a bad person, but oh well... she also has white hair, which kinda draws her attention... Weird, but if she likes it that way, it's up to her. As for the other chick... Her name's Siege, and... as far as I've noticed, she's pretty much the bitchy type. Kinda reminds me of Lexi, ya know? Only this one actually LIKES to bitch people around... I just kept replying to her provoquing, and..."

He would now lift his hand, his pinky, ring, and middle fongers curled. His index and thumb would form a circle, their tips about an inch away from each other.

"... I think I got THIS close to get her to smack me, haha!"

His hand would now reach her neck, as he would gently pull her against him, once more, kissing her. Whispering to her ear, after the kiss.

"But no matter that, for now... I locked the door. Wanna... like... take the chance?"

He would speak as his other hand would place itself on her thigh, grasping it's way up to her buttcheek, remaining there.

Fontes' proposal seemed obvious enough... Even more obvious, when he reached his hands to his t-shirt, taking it off. He knew how crazy she went, when he got himself in bare-chest...

[Hannah Pierce]

"Weeeeelll... On my first day, I've encountered the school's headmaster... doesn't seem to be a bad folk. Or maybe he was nice just because I was new, who knows...

The headmaster?! She had never met any headmaster of any of the schools that she had ever attended. Not that she was upset about that, you tended to meet them when you had done something wrong and Hannah did her best to stay out of trouble. She hoped that Fontes hadn't met him because he was in trouble, but she doubted it. While he fought he tended to fight the good fight instead of letting his anger turn into rage.

Then... two days ago, something like that... I've ran into two girls... One of them seemed to be a bookworm, who's studying medicine. Name's Emily. Doesn't seem to be a bad person, but oh well... she also has white hair, which kinda draws her attention... Weird, but if she likes it that way, it's up to her.

White hair was weird there was no second thoughts about that. Maybe she was part albino or something, she wasn't sure. Hannah had not seen the white haired girl but she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings anyway she had been only looking for Fontes. That was one of the reasons she now had a black eye, but it was all in the past now, she was going to live with Fontes and share his bed at night and snuggle in his arms when she read, and many other things.

As for the other chick... Her name's Siege, and... as far as I've noticed, she's pretty much the bitchy type. Kinda reminds me of Lexi, ya know? Only this one actually LIKES to bitch people around... I just kept replying to her provoquing, and..." "... I think I got THIS close to get her to smack me, haha!"


Hannah rolled her eyes. She remembered Lexi, and actually had liked the woman that had taken the young girl's protection under her wing. Lexi had done a lot for Hannah, and it was hard to leave her behind. She and Conrad though had three kids and were moving on having graduated, while Hannah still had another year of school left before she too would graduate. Still, she had lived with Lexi for a week or two after the untimely arrest of her exboyfriend.

"Maybe she has good qualities too. Lexi did, you remember, she protected me a lot back then, and helped me out when I needed it. If you could make Lexi a friend she was loyal. Maybe this new girl, Siege, is the same. Or maybe she's just a wack job with a strange name.. I bet it's not even her real name, like Chrynos you know, maybe it's like code.."

Hannah tilted her head her eyes shooting up to the ceiling in a quick look of thought before they came back to Fontes accompanied by a shrug of her slender shoulders. Fontes took her neck in his hand and pulled her close so that they could share another kiss. This one lasting a bit longer than a few previous onces, though not as long as the first one in the courtyard this afternoon. When it broke he whispered to her.

"But no matter that, for now... I locked the door. Wanna... like... take the chance?"

Hannah blushed, she didn't think she was ever going to get used to the fact of someone talking so openly about things like this. His hand slid up her thigh to her rear end that was covered in her jeans, and only made her blush much deeper when he gave the flesh back there a nice squeeze. Hannah was not the kind of girl that was athletic, she didn't work out, she didn't do anything that required physical activity unless absolutely necessary.

"Umm.. ermm.. "

Before she could answer his shirt came off his body. Hannah definatly had a thing for chests. There was just something about a chest that had tone to it that made her excited. As he did this she scooted closer, her hand running over his chest as her lips found his again, to begin their .. activity.

[Fontes]

And as he predicted, her excitement level would sky-rocket, as soon as his shirt would be removed. And that could be seen by her breathing getting heavier, the way she began to rub his chest, and by the way she charged to kiss him. As she did, his hand would leave her buttcheek, sliding it's way to her lower ribs.

Then, as their kiss broke, Fontes remembered one thing:

"Hey... might as well see how's my drawer..."

And so, Fontes would take his hand out of her ribs, and stretch it to the drawer, where he usually had his condoms. Sliding the drawer open, his back now turned to Hannah, she could now hear a word coming out of Fontes' lips...

"... Shit..."

Socks... yes. Underwear... yes. Condoms... not a single one. It seemed like his dad still hadn't filled it. A few seconds later, Fontes would rotate his body to meet his beloved once more. On his face, she would find the most natural of facial expressions, as a quite unnusual question would leave his lips...

"Ehm... ever considered doing anal?"

... Quite an interesting way to say that his drawer was empty...
