Chapter one: goodbye
CALEB
I don't know why I stayed so long, but it's been two weeks since I came to Rosewood. Remy and the others need me… but how do I tell Hanna?
"Hanna, I have to go…" I tell her. I came back because I missed her way too much. But I just can't stay here any longer, not with Miranda following me around; telling me to go back. I pick up my bag, but Hanna gets it first. Hanna has been my first ever love, the only girl in the world I trust my life with. But I know leaving will do us both good, and maybe she'll move on. Because I can't deal with being a long drive away, worrying A has got hold of her, and though I'll do that any way, maybe she'll move onto one of the many guys she has to choose from. Because I know this is the only way to keep her safe.
"Hanna, let got… please!" I say, getting angry. She struggles, but with those skinny arms, I win the bag easily. "Caleb," she whispers with tears in her eyes. I hate what I'm doing right now, but it's for the best. "Hanna, this is for the best," I say before turning towards her front door. As I open it, she slams it closed. "Hanna, don't do this, please!" I say, in tears myself now. "Do what, what am I doing. I'm standing infront of my own door in my own house," I sigh, and look away. "Is this about Miranda?" she asks. "It's not what you think," I tell her. I know exactly what she's thinking. She thinks I'm leaving to get back to Miranda. Oh if only I could tell her Miranda was long gone.
Hanna interrupts me from my thoughts. "Is this about the girl who I told you to look after? God I'm so stupid… I gave her to you!" she says, tears streaming down her face. "You're not stupid, you're smart and beautiful… Hanna you have no flaws, that's why I love you!"
"If you loved me you wouldn't be leaving me would you?" she says sarcastically.
I stroke her face with my thumbs, and kiss her forehead. "I'll never forget you Hanna Marin," I say, before opening the door and stepping into the cold, numbing air. The rain splashes against my face, and I walk down the path to my car. To Ravenswood, I think to myself… great.
HANNA
Caleb's gone… for good this time. We're over… for good. God, I miss him already. But he's already broken my heart twice before, and to be quite honest I don't know why I let him back into my life. Yes I am, I love him… and I always will no matter who I end up with (I'm silently praying it will be Caleb!)
I see my mom at the top of the stairs. "Mom, is this what dad did?" I ask her in tears. "No baby, no… Caleb will come back, I'm sure of that!" I sniff, and wipe away my tears. "Thanks mom," I say before going to my room to hide away for the rest of my life.
I jump onto the bed, and take my phone off charge. I take off the case with me and Caleb on it, and throw it across the room. Then I go onto apple music and download the saddest songs I can find. I grab my beats from the dresser and turn on the Bluetooth. The music automatically starts playing a song, and it pops into my head. This song was playing when Caleb and I had our first dance together. Tears fall as I picture what the perfect moment was. I had on my perfect dress, with the perfect matching shoes. And holding me close as we danced was my then perfect boyfriend.
I let the tears fall, and for some reason I don't skip it. It brought back memories, but atleast they were happy ones. When the songs finished, I get under the duvet. For the first time in a long time (okay… two weeks) I would be sleeping alone. My mom had exceptions for Caleb, because she thought of him as a son. I roll onto his side. It still smells like him. I feel underneath the pillow, and tough paper. I pull it out, and see it's a note… from Caleb.
Dear Princess,
I know when you're reading this, you hate me… but there's too much going on right now for me to be in your life, because it's dangerous. Ravenswood is dangerous, that's why you can't come with me.
I just want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and I'll never forget you

After reading that note, there's so much I want to say to him. So I call him… and of course he doesn't answer, so I leave a message.
"Hey, it's me… Hanna. I've been thinking a lot lately, and been trying to pinpoint the exact moment I lost you. But I just wanted to let you know, it was the best year of my life Caleb… and I love you."
I decide to get some rest, so turn off the sad, depressing music. I pull one of Caleb's shirts over my head, and climb into bed. I snuggle my head into his pillow and smell his scent. Wrapped in his t-shirt is the closest I'll get to cuddling him all night. Resting my head on his chest, and falling asleep on him, meaning he had to stay the night.
I sigh into the pillow, and place the note on the other pillow. Goodnight Caleb, I whisper, however this time there was no response…
