Chapter one

Caleb

"So which one says young and hot without being too trending?" Hanna asked Caleb as she held up a blue and black dress at him, drawing his attention away from his homework. Caleb looked up at her with a questioning look on his face "you're asking me? Hanna, I've had this hoodie since I was twelve" he pulled the sleeve up to his wrist admiring it, whilst his voice had serious undertones. "Caleb, come on this is important, I have to impress Corin" she said stubbornly, holding the dresses up at him. "It's a job interview, you're not walking the run way" he said to her, still holding his pen in his hand. "She's the hottest designer in Philly, it would be a privilege to get her a cup of coffee" she stressed her words showing the urgency she felt about choosing an outfit. "And she wants you to do it in five inch heels" he asked her pointing at the shoes with a look of shock on his face; he still couldn't wrap his head around how Hanna could wear those never mind walk in them. "Yeah, at least" she said moving the dress in her hands, before holding them both up at him. "Okay go with the dress" he suggested and smacked his lips. "But just to be sure you should probably try them on for me" he bite his pen at her. She smiled at him biting her lip as she went, "be right back" she said softly.

Caleb checked she was gone before taking his phone out of his pocket and dialing the number. "Hey" he says quietly into the phone, keeping a low tone in his voice. "Urgh forgot my shoes" Hanna said as she started walking back into the kitchen, standing behind the door as she heard him on the phone. "Yeah I thought a lot about that" Caleb spoke hushed into the phone. "I'm in" he added. "I'm not going to let her get close to Hanna" his protective nature always took over when it was about Hanna, and considering he'd recently taken a bullet to the gut for the girl it was obvious he would risk his life for her. "We'll talk this afternoon" he said before he hung up the phone. "Who were you talking to?" Hanna asked entering the kitchen and rending Caleb speechless, but once again his quick thinking, that he'd developed from a life of living in foster homes, came to his benefit, "erm, my mom" he said confidently to her question. "Its four thirty in California, do you always call her this early?" she asked in disbelief, lacing her voice. "She's not in California, she's in Chicago, err... for business" he said looking down at his work, not making eye contact with Hanna. "So why were you talking to your mom about Mona and me?" she asked him, annoyance lacing her voice, attempting to figure out if he was lying to her. Caleb shrugged "she knows that Mona bullied you and she's just worried about her being back at school." He finally made eye contact with Hanna. "Okay, Mona had someone run your mom off the road, you shouldn't be talking about her to anyone" she was angry now, stressing each of her words. "Hanna Mona tried to run you of the road when you were friends, god only knows what she's gonna do now you've dumped her" he approached her slowly. "Maybe she won't do anything" Hanna looked down now. "Of course she will, she's A, we need to stay one step ahead of her" Caleb said with a sudden annoyance. "Look just promise me you won't, do anything stupid" she sighed closing her eyes; she was tired of this whole thing. "Hanna..." Caleb started before being cut off by Hanna. "Promise me" she added looking him in the eyes. "Fine I won't do anything stupid" he paused and stepped closer to her. "Now let's something hot and not to trendy" he placed his hand on her shoulder smiling at her.

"Hanna, you've been in there a while" Caleb knocked on her bedroom door, panic riddling his voice. "Come in" the lack of emotion in the voice made him push the door open quicker and with more force than he originally meant. It swung loudly as he looked up at the girl, she was wearing a long dressing gown which covered her feet and was facing away from him. "What's wrong" he asked as he walked towards her. She raised an eyebrow before turning and opening the gown at him. She was completely naked, apart from a pair of five inch heels and her gold necklace. "Wow, Hanna" Caleb said speechless as he looked over the girl's body smiling as he took in her beauty. "So this is your idea of a surprise" he asked her as he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in towards him. "What do you think" she giggled as she smiled and kissed him. "Wow" he laughed as he continued kissing her, pushing her body back onto the bed.

Caleb pulled his car up two blocks away from the coffee shop as he had been asked to do by the girl. Unclipping his seatbelt he took another look around himself, paranoia sweeping over him and checked his phone one last time. Climbing out the car he started the walk to the coffee shop, shivering at the coldness that lingered in the air. He glanced around himself at the slightest abnormal sound near him. Sighing to himself he folded his arms around his body, he thought he'd stopped this behaviour when he'd left Allentown behind and stopped having to check for cops wherever he went. Yet his fear grew as he approached the coffee shop. What if they slipped up? He asked himself, half tempted to turn around he pushed the door of the coffee shop, the bell ringing and a sea of eyes on him. He ordered his coffee before sitting down across from the distracted girl. Tapping her on the shoulder as he cleared his throat and looked up at her. "Okay, I'm ready" he said quietly. "Let's do this Paige" he lent in closer to her and in a whisper he added. "If it will help Hanna, I will bring that bitch down, and I know you feel the same about Emily" he folded his arms with a sense of purpose, because for the first time in a long time he did have a purpose. To protect Hanna.
