Ok so not only is this my first Haleb story it's also my first pretty Little Liars story as well so please be nice I hope it's good and you enjoy it it's just been in my head and I haven't been able to update other stories I'm writing because this has been blocking me so finally I decided to just post the first chapter to see how it goes.

Chapter 1

Hanna Marin was currently in her closet looking for clothes to put in her suitcases that lay open on her bed. One of the suitcases was already packed with shorts and bikinis that she could wear around the pool and to the beach. It was the beginning of summer break at the end of school that day and she was packing for her trip that she was leaving for the next morning.

Hanna spent her summers in Montecito California. Where she visited her dad, since he had moved out there after her parents' divorce four years ago. She usually packed for her trip at least two days before the last day of school, but she had been so busy with school and other things that she didn't get around to packing. Now here she was quickly packing at ten o'clock at night because it was so last minute and she wouldn't have time the next day. She had a one thirty flight and she needed to be at the airport by one, but was meeting up with her friends before then to spend sometime with them before she left so she would be busy all morning.

A year and a half after her parents separated six years ago, her dad Tom started dating a woman named Claudia Dawson, who was now her dad's girlfriend of three and a half years and who he now shared his home with. When Tom told Hanna about Claudia living with him late last year she thought it was really great because she really liked Claudia. Sure when her dad first told her about the woman she at first hated her, because the only person Hanna wanted with her dad was her mom. But after she met Claudia, two summers ago and saw how happy she made Tom she decided to give her a chance and get to know her, by the end of the summer Hanna really liked Claudia and now she talked to her on a weekly basis.

Just as Hanna threw a pair of sandals into her bag a ping sound came her phone signaling she had a text message it was from Claudia telling her that her plane ticket would be waiting for her at check-in under her fathers' name and they couldn't wait to see her. Hanna smiled and sent a thanks in reply adding that she couldn't wait to get there either. Just as she sent the message her mom Ashley walked in with some laundry for Hanna to either take with her or put away. "Who was that?" She asked as she set the basket of clothes on the bed. "Oh it was just Claudia telling me that my plane ticket will be at the airport waiting for me." Hanna replied placing her phone back on her bedside table and started looking through the basket of clothes that her mom just walked in with. "Oh. Ok well did she tell who would be meeting you at the airport?" Ashley questioned. Hanna looked at her mom while throwing a folded skirt in her suitcase "No, but it'll most likely be dad." She answered and went back to packing her bags.

"Ok." Her mom answered awkwardly and walked out of the room. Hanna knew that Ashley may not always like the fact that she was in touch with her father's girlfriend, but she also that Ashley was glad that she got along with the new woman in her ex husband's life, especially after she discovered that Claudia would now be sharing a residence with him. She didn't want to take Tom's time with her away but Ashley also didn't want to put her daughter in an uncomfortable situation that she didn't want to be in either. "Don't forget to pack the important things Hanna." Her mom yelled from down the hall. "I won't." Hanna yelled back and walked out of her toward her bathroom to pack her tote bag and make up.

Walking into the bathroom she walked to the sink and opened on of the drawers and pulled out her flat iron and curler first placing them on the counter. Then opening another drawer and pulling out her tote bag and placing that on the counter and then opened the mirror to get her toothbrush, facial-scrub, and floss stuffing them all in the tote. After she packed her tote bag with the essentials she zipped it up and put next to her make up on the sink so she could grab them the next morning before she left. Grabbing her flat iron and curler off the counter before she walked back to her room so she could pack them with her stuff. She stuffed booth items in her suitcase and went back looking through the basket of clean clothes her mom brought in earlier. After finding warm pants and jeans in the basket and putting them in her bag, Hanna went back into her closet to look for some sweater to take as well.

After packing the sweaters she took from her closet and packing a few nice dresses and shoes, Hanna finally zipped up her suitcases after throwing in two more pairs of sandals and put them by the door 'I'll take them down on my way out to meet the girls in the morning,' she thought. When she looked at her alarm clock it read eleven-thirty. "Damn, it two and a half hours for me to pack and still haven't picked out what I'm wearing tomorrow," She said to herself. 'Oh well I'll sleep on the plane,' she thought as she walked to the closet again to pick her outfit. After only ten minutes she came back out with the perfect Rosewood/Montecito outfit. Her outfit consisted of an off the shoulder shirt with the word love bedazzled on it and some hot pink tights with some boots to go with it.

After she put the clothes for the next day on her desk chair she folded the rest of the laundry from earlier and put them away then grabbed her pajamas and walked to the bathroom for a shower. When Hanna was done with her shower and washed up for bed she walked back to her room. Glancing at the clock as she walked in she saw that it read twelve-forty. Putting her dirty clothes in the hamper she grabbed her laptop bag and put it on the desk next to her laptop. Checking to see if her computer was charged enough for the plane ride she put both her computer and laptop charger in the bag and zipped it up. As she finished zipping it her mom walked in.

"Hanna what are you still doing up it's almost one in the morning you should be in bed already you have a busy day tomorrow." Her mom told her "I know I was just about to go to sleep," Hanna replied. "Ok, well sleep well. See in the morning." Ashley responded before turning to walk back out the room. "Yeah, you too mom," Hanna said as her mom walked out. Hanna walked back to her bed put her phone on the charge, pulled the covers back and got in bed after pulled the blankets back on herself she turned the lamp next to her bed off and finally went to sleep.
