Chat log: Hannah/Elijah. Saturday evening. Raging: PG13 for cussing.


Elijah: *I've just got home from CD shopping. I check the answering machine and hear Hannah's message* Oh, shit, I forgot she's gonna call. *I pick up the phone and dial your number*

Hannah: *I pick up the phone and, without looking at the ID, answer.* 'Llo?

Elijah: Hann! *I exclaim.* Sorry, I didn't catch you when you called.

Hannah: Hey! *I reply, a smile coming to my face and bringing me out of the funk I was getting into. I roll over on the bed.* 's ok. What's up? I've been calling all week.

Elijah: *I settle the CD bag on the table and slump on the couch.* I've been out and about. Can't believe I'd say this, but I missed L.A. *I sigh audibly.* How's school? *Then the thought occurrs to me.* Better yet, how's Hawaii?

Hannah: *I let out a little sigh, my voice sounding sad when I speak.* I don't know. I wish I was there.

Elijah: What's wrong? *I sense the sadness in your voice.* Did something happen? Tell me.

Hannah: No, nothing happened. *Well... That's a little lie.* I just... *I pause, scared suddenly to tell you this.* I miss him. Terribly.

Elijah: Are you sure about that? *I get the feeling that you're missing out a few details. I figure I'll poke further.* Dom? You miss Dom? * I laugh at this, though I do miss his company as well, and the rest of the fellowship for that matter.*

Hannah: Yeah, Dom. *I don't think you realize that I like him more than as a friend, and I'm almost relieved by this.*

Elijah: *I'm not finding the harm in it.* Well, I do miss him, too. *I immediately add* In a friendly way, of course. *I laugh nervously.*

Hannah: *I sigh audibly.* I miss him... in a not-so-friendly way, Lij.

Elijah: *My brows crease.* You mean... *I'm not sure how to continue the sentence.*

Hannah: I like him. Really like him.

Elijah: *I can't believe what I'm hearing.* Dom? Are you sure we're talking about the same Dominic Monaghan? *The question sounds ridiculous but I haven't the vaguest idea how to comment.*

Hannah: Yes... That Dominic Monaghan. *I gnaw on my lower lip, afraid of how you're going to react when it finally sinks in.*

Elijah: Okaaayy... *My brain seems to have ceased functioning. The short awkward silence immediately brings me back reality.* But... how.. when? *So many questions are raised in my head.*

Hannah: *I take a deep breath, deciding to tell you everything. We've never really kept secrets before from each other, besides this one.* I've liked him since the Fellowship premiere, Lij. In a not-so-friendly way. I let it slip a couple of weeks ago that I had a crush on him. He asked me to fly out to Hawaii last weekend, and we talked in person and he told me he liked me too. Then I had to fly back to New York for school. And here I am. Missing him something fierce. *I take another deep breath and await your response nervously.*

Elijah: *I smile at how fluidly words just come out of you, just makes it more worthwhile getting in touch with you again.* I'm sure he feels the same. *I blurted out, and only after I've said it have I thought about how happy I am for you both.*

Hannah: I hope so. Wait a minute. You... *I shake my head* You're not mad?

Elijah: *I laugh heartily and switch hands holding the phone.* I'm surprised, yes... but definitely not mad. I appreciate you confiding to me. *I nod my head, though you can't see it.*

Hannah: *I'm silent for a long moment, processing everything.* I... umm.. er... *I spit it out.* Thank you Lij.

Elijah: *I can't stop laughing.* What made you think I'd get mad? Because... *I trailed off and let you finish my sentence.*

Hannah: Because I'm in love with your best friend. *I let out a surprised meep. I hadn't ever used that word in connection with Dom before, and I surprised myself.*

Elijah: *I gasp and cup my mouth in silent surprise.* Hannah! Did I just hear you say... you're in love? Aww... my wittle sister is growing up! *I start to tease you.*

Hannah: Liiiiiij! *I whine.*

Elijah: What?! *I ask innocently, still laughing.*

Hannah: Stop it! *I whine again.*

Elijah: Tell me one good reason why I should! *I obviously enjoy taunting you.*

Hannah: 'cause I can hang up this phone right now. Or... I can start telling you all about my conversation with Mom. *I giggle.*

Elijah: *I narrow my eyes.* You little, sneak! Although, I doubt that anything you say about mom and Sean could upset me. I've come to realize I was wrong. You know that.

Hannah: Yes, I knew you were wrong. *I grin.* Lij, she is so cute! You can just hear how in love she is with Bean. It's adorable, really!

Elijah: *I smile for the first time, finally open to the idea of change.* She's not giggling like a Catholic school girl, just like you when you are giggling when talking about Dom, is she?

Hannah: Nooo. Really, you can hear in her voice just how much she loves this guy. She sounded really sad when we talked about her having to leave England soon. Stupid immigration laws.

Elijah: I miss her. Well, she could invite Sean to stay over here. *The suggestion sounds foreign when uttered out off my mouth but is resolved to keeping Mom happy.*

Hannah: I miss her too. I don't know if Sean has to work or not... *I'm really surprised at how easily you're talking about Mom and Sean. Sounds like you've really come around.*

Elijah: Well, he should be willing to make sacrifices. It's not like it's easy for mom to just leave us for three months. *I let out a chuckle and add* Because we're just a bunch of adorable children to have. *I start to wonder if my weird mood makes you think I'm probably high on something.*

Hannah: Oh yeah, adorable children. Zach's the only one of us who has any sense left in him, I think.

Elijah: Haha.. Zach is always known to have a significantly different gene. *I stand up to grab some water.*

Hannah: I think he was the mailman's baby. *I snicker.*

Elijah: *I spit out the water I was drinking.* Actually, I was thinking the same thing! *I stumble to get a dry towel to wipe my face with.*

Hannah: *I giggle* Warped minds think alike, my dear brother.

Elijah: Yes, I'm afraid so. Oh, what great things Zach is missing out on. * I clear my throat in hopes to get the last of the water that went down the wrong pipe out.*

Hannah: I didn't hurt ya over there, did I? *I ask.*

Elijah: Oh, no. I'm fine. Just dealing with the tragic aftermath of snorting water.

Hannah: *I giggle.* Snorting water, eh? Ran out of coke? *I tease.* Had to turn from soft drinks to water?

Elijah: I've only done CD shopping, not food shopping, so the fridge is a little bare. Mum will probably kill me for not taking care of the house while I'm here. *I reach up to ruffle my hair.*

Hannah: Well it has been empty for a while. Best get your ass in gear and hire someone to clean the house before she gets home.

Elijah: *I laugh as you seem to have been reading my mind.* I already did that! The help would be coming in tomorrow. Oddly enough, it's the main house that's messy. The guest house is all spic-and-span.

Hannah: You're only back a week and already the main house is trashed? Have you been throwing parties without me? You know you have to wait until my birthday to throw any wild parties.

Elijah: Is it my fault that my mates here wanted me to have one? Besides, you're far too busy being "cute" with Dom. *I cackle.*

Hannah: Asshole. *I reply affectionately.*

Elijah: *I'm on my way to the couch when I almost slip on the mess I've just created.* Flirt! *I grin.*

Hannah: Bastard. *I grin, rolling over on the bed.*

Elijah: Oh yeah? So gloves come off now, yeah? Wench! *I decide to slip off my sneakers and go barefoot on the way back to the living room.*

Hannah: *I snort.* Demon-fucker. *I laugh, referring to your ex-girlfriend Franka whatsherfeck.*

Elijah: *My eyes grow big, obviously not expecting you to say that.* Why, you little tramp! *I shake my fist with extra emphasis, though of course you can't see me doing so.*

Hannah: I know you are but what am I? *I laugh, shoulders shaking.*

Elijah: *I grin and giggle.* Slut! Yes, I said it! *I start to make kissing noises.* Oh, Dom.. I miss you... smoooch. smooch... *I can barely breath from laughing so hard.*

Hannah: Oooh I'm gon' kill you, mother fucker! *I wheeze.*

Elijah: *I slump back on the couch, clutching my stomach.* Does that mean, I won? Whoo! And you kiss mom with that mouth? Language, Hann... language... *I shake my head and cackle maniacally.*

Hannah: *I growl into the phone.*

Elijah: Uh, oh... not the growl. *I cup my mouth so you won't hear me still laughing my ass off.*

Hannah: *I hear you laughing still.* Eliiiijah! *I whine.*

Elijah: What's wrong with what I said? *I act innocently.*

Hannah: Lij, come off it. Seriously. *You can tell by my voice I'm no longer playing around.*

Elijah: Alright. Alright. *I clear my throat as if to brush the laughter away.* Are you coming home to celebrate your birthday? Or do you want us to bring the party to you?

Hannah: I'm coming home, and I want to get completely shitfaced. You only turn 21 once, you know.

Elijah: No need to tell me that. *I laugh and stop abruptly.* That's good then, it won't cost me much to give you your gift. *I concoct a plan to secretly fly Dom to LA that day.*

Hannah: Wha'cha getting me? *I query.*

Elijah: I'm not telling you! It's a surprise, Nan. *I think I shouldn't have opened my mouth... Now, you'll be thinking of what my gift is.*

Hannah: Aww, c'mon Monkey. Not even a little hint?

Elijah: Nope. No clues whatsoever. It's bad enough I've got you thinking and all curious about it. Just sit back and relax. *I grin from ear to ear.*

Hannah: *I playfully pout, even though you can't see.* Well fine. *I try to keep a straight face but end up laughing.*

Elijah: *I laugh as well.* What's so funny? The voices in your head making jokes again, are they? *I cajoled.*

Hannah: You're an ass. You know that? *I grin, teasing.*

Elijah: Yes, I do. *I nod my head.* And quite honestly, it doesn't put me down one bit.

Hannah: *I laugh.* So what else have you been doing besides trashing mom's house and being an ass?

Elijah: Been out surfing for a couple of days. Was lucky enough to catch some really good waves. I don't feel like staying the whole day at home... it could be really lonely. *I scratch my head and proceed to lie down.*

Hannah: I know what you mean. You should go visit Kelly & Jack, or better yet go see Dom in Hawaii. I know he could use someone there right about now. *I pause, the words hurting a little.* He's so worried about this show taking off.

Elijah: You know I just might do that! I don't see why Dom is so worried. I've heard really good reviews about the program.

Hannah: The pilot looked fucking awesome. I told him the show was going to do great, but... well you know how you worry before the movie comes out if people will like it? Same with this. *Of course, I could just be blowing smoke out my ass but, eh.*

Elijah: I'll probably plaster a note on his head to not to worry, so he won't forget and worry about it.

Hannah: I'd say write it on his hand but he might get in trouble for it.

Elijah: Yeah, don't want to get him in trouble... *I think.* Or do I. *I laugh menacingly.*

Hannah: You do and you'll have me to deal with. *I threaten, with a hint of teasing in my voice.*

Elijah: Oohh, I'm scared. Hannah Banana just threatened me. *I say tauntingly and laugh.* You really like Dom, huh? Never heard of you so protected of anyone like you are now. *I ponder.* Who would've thought.... *I think out loud.*

Hannah: *I grumble with your first comment.* Yeah, I really do like him, Lij. *I say, matter-of-factly.*

Elijah: *I stifle a laugh upon hearing your grumble.* I hope things work out with you two. It's really great to hear from you, Hann. And inasmuch I don't want to hung up, I guess I should let you back to studying... or daydreaming, perhaps...

Hannah: *I sigh, then speak with a sad, quiet voice.* Lij, please don't make fun of me about this.

Elijah: Alright. Sorry. But seriously I'm happy for you and mom. *It's now my turn to give off a hint of sadness... no loneliness... really.*

Hannah: Thank you, Lij. I know you'll find your someone special soon.

Elijah: *I try to smile and brush it off.* Yeah, maybe.

Hannah: You will. I promise. Love you, monkey.

Elijah: Love you, too, Hann! It's great to hear from you again.

Hannah: Yeah, you too. Now that your back in the states I can call you more cause it's cheeper. *I laugh.*

Elijah: I know! That's why I didn't mind for this call to last this long! *I start to sound chipper again. I can feel my arm cramping a little from holding the phone to my ear.*

Hannah: *I grin* Alright, alright, I get the hint! Go get drunk or something, kay. I'm gonna head up to campus and hang out at the union.

Elijah: Hey! That's not what I meant. Besides, I've been drunk enough while I was in Prague... I've forgotten what water tastes like. Anyhow, have fun there! And I'll call you when I can, alright? Oh, and when are you sending me the Hawaii pictures? I haven't gotten them yet.

Hannah: I lost the connector cable to my camera. I'll get them to you next week or something. Kay?

Elijah: Ah.. excuses. * I laugh.* Alright. Take all the time you need.

Hannah: Alright. See you, bro.

Elijah: See you, sis! Take care!

Hannah: You too. Bye. *I click off my phone and jump out of bed, heading out the door.*

Elijah: *I hang up the phone and sit back up.*
