One On One with skinny love.

Mack sighed, pulling her back into him. "No, Hannah. You don't have to live with it alone. You have me. I promised you I'd be here for you through anything. You can't just leave me alone, honey, not when I love you this much and you're having my child. I don't care about my rep. Or anything. I just want to take care of you," he said.

Hannah fell silent as she listened to him, her shoulders shaking with sobs. She hadn't cried like this since she'd found out that her parents had died. "Mack," she whispered once he'd finished, "you can't stay with me. You just can't. We're young and I'm scared and I'm not ready to be a mum. Nan doesn't care anymore, so why should you?"

[bibliophile;]

"I care, Hannah! I need you, and I need to be with you. This... is both of our faults. I need to step up and accept that. And I can't just let you be alone, Hannah. I love you way to much."

"Mack, if you were just some guy, then I'd say it was fine. But you're not. You're a royal, which means that people will be talking about you for days, maybe even weeks, on end. They'll bombard you with questions and frown upon your family because of a mistake that I made. I can't make you go through with that. If I leave, then they'll never know. Mack, think about your family! They don't deserve this! And I love you way too much to see you go through any of that." Hannah loved him so much more than words could ever describe, but she couldn't taint his family's name. She got up and grabbed her bag, wiping her eyes. "I have to go." She turned and started to walk out, keeping her eyes down.

Mack ran after her. "Hannah please!" he cried out, running her her, and hugged her. "Please," he sobbed into her, holding her tightly.

Hannah froze in place when he cried out her name and begged her to stay. She'd never seen him like this before, and the sight of it broke her heart. Did she really mean that much to him? She swallowed hard as he hugged her tightly, but soon she found herself sobbing into his chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his torso.

Mack held her, crying. "I love you so much Hannah," he said between his sobs. "Just don't leave me."

[twofrogsinacoat]

Hannah whimpered and buried her face in his neck. "I love you so much, Mack," she whispered between sobs. She was beginning to think she should stay, but there was still heavy doubt in the back of her mind. But Mack came first, and if he wanted her to stay this badly, then she couldn't hurt him like that.

Mack nodded, holding her to him. "I love you too," he said, eventually calming down. "You can live with me. I'll talk to Mom and Dad when we get there."

>>What if they've read the note?<<

(ooooooh giiirrrllll let's do it. O: )

After a long while of holding each other like that, Hannah slowly calmed down. Her tears dried, leaving tear-stains on her cheeks. She sniffled and nodded a bit. "Thank you so much," she whispered, her voice cracking slightly. "I'm so sorry, Mack."
