∆ FRUSTRATIONS

[Deleted]

Chris had managed to make it back to the hotel and of course he wasn't happy at all. The run in with Eli as he was leaving the arena and then Hannah not being interested in going out for dinner after the show and allowing them to spend some precious alone time together, something that Chris hadn't gotten in quite some time. He was frustrated and he knew that Hannah wasn't pleased with the way he was acting especially when it came to Eli, but he couldn't help it. Usually he wasn't like that in front of her but clearly things were starting to get to him and all of his frustration was beginning to build up. He knew he would most likely hear about it from her once she got back to the hotel and quite honestly he wasn't interested in having an arguement with her. He had told her over and over again that he had no intention of ruining her night and well I guess in a way he kinda did.

Chris was seen just laying upright on the bed, his head resting back on the pillow as he took hold of the remote and turned on the TV as he started flipping through channels, a hand resting behind his head as he had a million things running through his head as he let out a big sigh. Chris then lifted his hand up and began looking at his wedding ring that was on his finger, he slowly ran his finger over it thinking back to the night that him and Hannah got married and yeah they were always going to receive flack from people over the circumstances surrounding their marriage and how they rushed into it as well as didn't know what they were doing due to being under the influence of alcohol. But Chris didn't care what they thought, he truly loved Hannah and couldn't see himself with anybody else. He knew things had been rocky for the last few months and honestly he just wanted it to end so they could go back to way things used to be. It had certainly not been how he pictured their first year of marriage ending or the beginning of their second year of marriage starting. Chris put the remote down as he focused completely on his wedding ring, moving it back and forth along his finger as he let out another big sigh.

“Why is this happening.”

Chris muttered to himself. He wasn't showing it on the outside, but you could clearly tell that he was cracking on the inside and it was in a way showing a different side of him that nobody had ever seen before, not even Hannah. He knew that Hannah had a history with Eli as he could just sense it, call it intuition, but what he didn't understand was why Hannah didn't want to open up to him about it or really even talk about it. In all honesty a little part of him was questioning if Hannah had really moved on from that and if she was having doubts about their marriage. As Chris pondered he heard Hannah open the hotel room door and walk in as she looked over and saw him laying their on the bed, before putting her things down and not even really acknowledging him at all as he sat up a bit.

“Hey, sorry about being a jerk back at the arena. Just got a lot on my mind right now, lot of pent up frustration. That's why I was hoping for a night out with just the two of us.”

A few hours later had went by and Hannah finally decided to head back to the hotel - only this time - something was different. She was a lot - blonder. Hannah managed to make a trip to the salon and go back to her natural roots, again. She had changed her hair back to blonde last summer before going back to the dark side, but he she was again, indecisive and changed it back up again. She hadn't told anyone, in fact, it was a last minute thing and she went with it. She felt a tad bit better and it was nice to have the blonde back, as everyone thought it was more suitable for her.

As she made her way back into the room, she pretty much avoided making any eye contact with Chris, as she placed her things to the side. There was nothing she had to say, so she stayed to herself as she began to look for something to change into after a much needed bubble bath and a glass of wine that was calling her name. Chris was drawn into the television so she was hoping that it would make it easier to escape into the bathroom. However, it wasn't the case. Chris turned his attention to her, with probably a million things going on in his head, and started apologizing to her. She shrugged, sighing.

"Chris, you know I needed some time to myself to think. So I don't understand why you're mad. Why you're frustrated. The fact that you pretty much was close to snapping out there? Like, I just can't deal with this."

For that moment, she managed to glance over at him, but it wasn't long before she looked away and down to her phone - pretending to scroll away at something.

It was now Chris' turn to sigh as he grabbed the remote and turned the television off as he put his full focus on his wife as he then flashed her a smile.

“Babe... I get it. You need time to yourself, I really do get it. But things have been like this for a few months now and I just want to for one night spend it with my wife. Just enjoy our own company together. I'm just frustrated that we haven't been spending any time together yanno just to ourselves. That's all, now I know you turned down dinner tonight and that's fine but can we at least just relax and watch a movie together or something?”

Dunn got up from the bed and walked over to her as he placed a hand on her arm as he moved it up and down before giving her a small kiss on the back of the neck.

“I really want things to go back to normal, hunny. I really am sorry about today and if it means anything to you, I'd be more than willing to apologize to Eli face to face and try get to know him a little better how does that sound?”

Chris kept his hand on her arm as he moved it up and down before giving her another kiss on the back of the neck.

Hannah couldn't help but to take a step back, giving more space between them. She wasn't sure if he understood that she just really wanted time to herself. She honestly just wasn't in the mood for a dinner, a movie, or whatever. She knew it was killing him, but he needed to know it was what she really needed - to be alone. Hannah simply shook her head, running her hands through her hair.

"Chris, you don't understand. There's a lot going on and I just needed to settle things alone - by myself. I've got you and everyone on my case about this and that. I'm just tired of it. I'm sorry, but I just don't want to do anything but get myself a bath and sleep. Alone. "

She knew it may be kind of harsh, but sometimes the truth was such. She kept the distance between them, as she continued to go and rummage through her stuff. That's when he brought up apologizing and that caused her to turn around for that brief second.

"No. Don't. Just leave it as it is. That's what is best. "

You can see the surprised look on Chris' face as Hannah moved away from him as he just stood there and you can see it in his eyes how much that just hurt him. Hannah had now turned away from him as he went to speak up before stopping himself before running a hand through his hair.

“I can't keep doing this, Hannah.”

Chris stood there looking over in her direction as he took a quick look down at his hand with his ring.

“This has to stop, it's like you don't even love me anymore. When we head back home, I'll go to Tampa and stay there for now.”

Chris let out a big sigh as you could tell he was extremely hurt but all of this and it's finally gotten to him and made him crack somewhat. It's broken him, Chris has always been known to not let really anything get to him emotionally but it looks as though that isn't the case anymore.

TBC: Hannah

[Deleted]

The last thing she wanted to do what intentionally hurt him, but she couldn't just pretend everything was ok when it wasn't. The last couple of months have been an emotional roller coaster for her, and she tried her best to hide it and it was just getting to the point that she couldn't. That's why she needed the time to herself, but he insisted to share a room and all of these things and she honestly just had to say it. Hannah gulped, folding her arms across her chest as he confessed that he couldn't keep doing this - whatever this was - because she didn't know herself.

"I'm sorry...."

Hannah sighed, this was so complicated and never in a million years would she ever see her in this position, because Lord knows she knew how it felt.

"I didn't plan all of this, and I know this is not what you pictured. I understand that you might be mad, but maybe Tampa is the best idea for you right now..."

She managed to glance up at him, only imagining what could be going through his mind right now....

[Deleted]

Chris looked over at her and nodded his head as he had made his way back over to the bed and just sat down on the edge of it. Chris ran his hands along his face before looking over at her.

CHRIS DUNN: "Can you at least tell me that when you get through this, get the time and space that you need... that we'll be fine. Hannah, I love you... and I don't wanna lose you."

You could see that he was deeply upset about this whole ordeal. You could also see how much he loved her because anybody else probably would of given up a long time ago, but he never did. Because meant that much to him.

CHRIS DUNN: "I love you....."

TBC: Hannah

[Deleted]

All she could do is simply shrug, grabbing her things and putting them away into her other bags. He was hoping for the best but she couldn't find the right words to say. She hated doing this, but she was always told to do what was best for her and honestly, this was it.

"I don't know."

Hannah finished gathering her things and looked over at Chris, who was sitting on the bed. She bit down on her bottom lip, he was a great guy and did he deserve this? No. However, she didn't deserve to feel like she wasn't happy.

H A N N A H W A L T E R S

"Look, I'm going to ask for another room, alright? I'll see you around, Chris..."

[Deleted]

Chris shook his head as he got up from the bed and walked over to where his things were and started packing things himself before turning and looking at her.

C H R I S ∆ D U N N
[ s h o w s t e a l e r ]
“No. I'll go get another room, you can stay here.”

You can see the look of sadness in Chris' eyes as he got his things before walking over and picking up his jacket as he threw it on before grabbing his bags as he brought them over to the door before walking over to her as he gave her a kiss on the forehead before walking back over to his bags as he opened the door, taking one last look over at her before walking through the door and closing it behind him as the scene faded.
