Zeus Cabin

Hannah sighs a bit, "Mind if I come in?"

Andrew walked into the cabin after leaving early.
(Hannah Zeus' fist)

Emilie sat by Justin and rubbed his back

"Sure." Justin said after seeing Andrew open the door. He pushed Emilie's hand away.

Hannah walks in, "Hey." She says with a small smile, " I brought you some punch." She says as she sets it on the side table near Justin's bed, "You want to talk about it?" She says in a concerned motherly voice.

Emilie frowned and pulled away feeling thrown aside like some old toy

Hannah looks up to see Emilie, "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't even see you there. I'll just go then. Again sorry about pushing in.' She says to her apologetically, then whispers in her ear, "See if you can snap him out of this." She says softly before heading for the cabin door.

Emilie whispered softly"I've been trying for almost a year now"

Justin watched Hannah leave. He didn't want to talk to Emilie. Emilie couldn't help. All he wanted to do was know why? Why was he kicked to the curb a second time for a guy it didn't work out with the first time? Why would she say she needs to make an effort to make it work and then when it doesn't, she goes right back to him? Why would she choose him even after knowing how fantastic that kiss felt for the both of them? Why was he never good enough? Why did he always mess these things up? Justin sighed and began crying again, all these questions swirling in his head.

Emilie watched in shock and held Justin tightly "hey.... It'll be OK honey"

Andrew laid down on his bed and closed his bed.

Justin didn't object this time but he did stop crying a bit. "I've never been in a relationship where I've been truly happy." He said. "That's been my goal and Hannah felt like my best shot at that and now she's fallen under Zak's spell believing she can make it work a second time and I mean nothing to her..."

Emilie felt a bit hurt "nice to know I didn't make you happy"

"Well, you did... for a while. Then it just wasn't there anymore... Would you rather I continued a relationship when my heart just wasn't in it and I didn't feel happy. Because I doubt you would have liked it."

Hannah pauses once she was out of the cabin then frowns and walks back in. "I just need to understand something. Why are you refusing to be happy? You are only hurting more people if you don't make the decision to move on. And if you don't, then your being selfish, and petty." She says and turns to leave having said what she came to say.

"I'm trying." Justin said. "It's just real hard for me to process all this..." Justin said. His voice broke at the end seeing as she was gone. "Why did you go back to him?" He asked.

Hannah pauses then looks at him, "Because, I saw him making an effort to do better. You seem to think that are just obligated to be with some one because you like them without thinking about what the other person might want. And don't make some story up that you want ever be happy because I didn't chose you. Yes I kissed you back that one time, but you are treating me more like a possession than a person. Well guess what? I'm not yours to have. The way you treat, me, Amy, Emilie, and Kora, you are so caught up on one person that you refuse to see the ones standing right in front of you. I've seen the way they all looked at you, and you are making more enemies than friends by pitting yourself. Relationships are work, and from what I've from you, you are making these girls put in all the work for the relationship while you do nothing. That's why I took Zak back, because he was willing to work for the relationship. He proved he was going to pull his weight in our relationship. What I've seen from you, these girls who throw themselves at you can do a lot better." She says then leaves the cabin to join Zak back at the party.

Justin thought for a moment. He nodded slowly. He always thought he had been willing to put in the work. He still had a huge crush on Hannah and he knew what she wanted from him but was that going to help him? She was with Zak and if Zak messed up then maybe he could be the one but he'd have to show more maturity, something that couldn't be proved right away. He had to make an effort to be happy. It didn't mean he had to go out and find a girlfriend but it meant he had to at least try and make an effort to not make people around him feel like crap and spend all his time pitying himself. He figured it was better to not chase after Hannah. He'd let his actions do the talking. He was going to go back to that party and try to make an effort to be happy despite the sadness he felt. Make that go away and live with it. He was going to stop pitying himself. He didn't know why it took him all that to realize it finally after it was too late but he had finally figured it out. It wasn't going to be easy but he had to do it.

Emilie frowned and left

Justin watched Emilie leave. "Okay..." He said. "Well, I guess I'll just go back to the party by myself then."

Mal knocked

Tessa knocked

Andrew opened the door "Hello?"

"Hi is Justin home?" Tessa asked
Mal walked in and smiled at Andrew

Andrew shrugged "you can wait if you want" he said and then walked back to his bed.
