2.1.23

"annd cut" the producer shouts from behind the camera and her camera composure fades away

with a sigh, she stands up from the leather armchair she sat on, and fist bumps Rory who sat across from her, the man she's being payed to argue with about football on TV every other day

the young presenter walks away from the set, and finds her purse in her locker where she picks out her phone and begins to check twitter

as she scrolls, a call pops up on her screen, from her best friend and roomate Talia

"hey talia"

"Hana come home" the brunnette sobs

"oi whats wrong"

"bloody Jacob"

"for fucks sake, stop stressing over shitty people Tals, come on its only the second day of the year, ive told you so many times to break up with him, but you won't believe me, but i guess its your decision" she shrugs

"no but i took your advice Hana, and i broke up with him but you know what he did"

"oh no"

"he hit me and smashed the flower vase into the TV"

"im coming right away love, just calm down"

"stay with me on the phone" she sobs

"alright"

.

 running out of the studio, she scans her pass which let her into the elevator that took her to the underground parking garage

she rushes herself into her small nissan altima, strapping her seatbelt on and reversing out of the carpark and then stepping on the foot pedal harder than she'd ever stepped on it

when she reaches their block of flats, the girl sprints up the stairs to the second floor where she and her best friend live, not bothering to wait for the lift to come down from one of the higher floors

inserting her key into the door and pushing the door open, she sees the carnage that had been caused by Talia's very abusive Ex

the tv had glass shards poking through it, the room covered in shattered glass, and water spilt all over the sofa

a mess is all it is

"TALIA?"she shouts searching for her best friend around the flat

 walking around the flat with shoes on was one of Hana's worst nightmares, but she had to brush those feelings aside as she walked on the glass covered tiles with her air forces still on

she walks out the corridor leading to their rooms

blood dripped from her nose and her lip

Hana rushes towards her and brings her into a long hug

"hey, what happened?" Hana asks as she grab a tissue from the table next to her legs and wipes the blood on Talia's face

"well that idiot was obviously high, and i still tried to break up with him, and i did, except this happened" she sobs into hana's arms

"calm down tals, ill help you clean up and we'll act like nothing ever happened, you know on the bright side you got rid of him"

the girl nods and begins to breathe

.

after a long time spent vacuming and picking up glass shards, as well as taking the destroyed TV down the stairs, the girls decide to sit down and relax a little

"bghiti qhwa?" (do you want coffee?) Hana asks her friend in arabic

"please" she replies in english despite still understanding what she'd just said

she makes them both a cup of coffee, and they sit down on the sofa

"do you wanna go library?" Hana asks

"sure, maybe it'll help me get him off my mind" she smiles

the library has always been the two girls' safe place, ever since they'd met each other in year 9, they had gone to the Oldham Library every time they just simple needed a rest from life. they had never been the type that loved to go to parties during University, and so they usually spent their free time in the library reading

.

after finishing their coffee, Hana changes into some new clothes, and then they both get into Hana's car and she drives them both to Oldham Library

they sit down and read for a little, but when Hana begins to get bored a bit, she gets up to cause a little bit of mischief in the Library

the curly haired girl puts a small note in a copy of her favourite book 'the book thief' and puts it back on the shelf where she'd found it

she took a picture of it to post to her twitter, which she had intended to post on her private account which only had her and some of her friend added on it, but being the clumsy woman she is, she accidentaly posts it on her main twitter account with over a million followers

barely a minute later, she returns to the sofa which Talia sat on

"bro check ur tweet" her best friend tells her

"how have you already seen it?"

"i have notifications on"

"of course you do"

she rolls her eyes and checks

its barely been a minute, nothing could go wrong, right?

no its twitter

anything could go wrong within a matter of seconds
