Watching Hannah walk off with that teacher after she slept in Jools’ bed earlier that week (okay, so he slept in a chair with a sleeping bag, but that’s not the point) was nothing short of angering. Especially after he’d gone through the trouble of getting everything ready for them to go backpacking in India together.
He was really looking forward to that, too. He hadn’t gone away since after the fire, when he was sent off to the young offender’s institute.
Which made it all the more surprising when she came back twenty minutes later, asking when they were going to leave.
Jools had to take a moment to figure out what had just happened. It was clear, even to him, that something had gone horribly wrong with that teacher Hannah had been seeing, but this didn’t feel like the right time to ask.
Is there even such a thing as a “right time?”
But, hey! India! And with Hannah, no less! She said that they’d talk about “them” on the way to Heathrow, and then ran off to go meet Mrs Grayshot at Paul’s wedding. By this point, Jools had been so far up into the clouds that it didn’t even occur to him to ask why he hadn’t been invited.
While Hannah rushed off to go say goodbye to her mum, Jools made his way back home to get his things in order. Hannah said she’d meet him there, so all there was to do after he finished packing was to wait.
