Rediscovering Love
Prologue
Jessica's POV (age 16)
I stood in the living room of the guy I loved. Sure you hear the word 'love' come out of every sixteen year olds mouth when they refer to their boyfriends/girlfriends, but unlike most I meant it. I loved Caleb Danvers. There was no doubt about that. But here I stood thinking of a way not to break his heart or mine.
I looked up into his chocolate brown eyes and almost lost my nerve but I had to do this. I was moving back home. "Caleb I don't want to hurt you. You know I love you right?" I asked feeling my heart start to hurt and trying my hardest to keep my eyes dry as a saw his face fall. I fingered the ring that was on my ring finger.
"Yes. I know this." Caleb said. He knew what I was about to do. His mother was standing in the doorway with a smug look on her face. Evelyn never liked me. I was, to her at least, the strawberry blonde haired green eyed girl that was trying to steal her baby. Sure I may have been the half sister of one of the sons but that didn't stop her from hating me. Yes, I Jessica Simms, was the half sister of Tyler Simms. We had the same father but different mothers. Well that was until my mother told me to go live with my father for a while. So they took me in and excepted me as family. I became friends with the sons seeing as I was only two days younger then Tyler. I also became his best friend, well female friend that is.
"Good. You love me right?" I asked. I had to know for sure that he did love me before I told him what was going on.
"Yes Jess I do love you. I wouldn't have given you that ring and promised to marry you when we graduated if I didn't. What is all this about?" He was very confused now and I couldn't blame him for it. I was about to bring both our worlds to a crashing halt with just to innocent words.
"I'm leaving." And those were the so called 'innocent words'. I didn't want to drag this out any more then I had to because if I did it would leave us both broken and bloody.
I swore I heard his mother chuckle happily. It was just like her to act that way with me. "What?" Caleb asked dumbfounded.
"I have to leave Caleb. Don't fight me ok. I just have to go." I said. I should have told him the reasons why I had to leave but I just couldn't. One of those reason would make him fight to keep me here with him even more. I looked down at my hand and took of the simple diamond and ruby ring set in sliver. He had proposed to me saying we would get married after high school and live life how we wanted to. That was a two weeks ago and of course I said yes. But back then I didn't know what I know now.
"Why?" He asked looking at me as if this was some kind of sick joke that I was playing. I took his hand in mine and laid the ring in the center of his palm closing his fist around it.
"Because." I looked at him with tear fill eyes. "I want you to keep that. And promise when I come back you'll give it to me and well start new." I looked at him and I was losing my nerve fast. I turned on my heel and left the room brushing past his smug looking mother. I glared at her and made it to the front door before I heard the crash of a lamp hit the floor.
"Caleb Danvers! Why did you do that?" I heard his mother screech. I had my hand on the door knob and was about to leave when I heard the words echo from his lips.
"Because I love her mother. More then I love anything in the world." My heart skipped a beat and I turned and ran back to the living room. Evelyn was across the room her hands on the mantel of the fire place. Her face pale as ice. Caleb sat on the chair his head hung down and glass around his feet. My ring was sitting in the pile of broken glass looking out of place. I cleared the glass softly from around his feet and keeled down in front of him.
"Caleb I.." I started. "Its because..." I started again. "Theres somethi..." I tried for the third time but every time the thought entered my mind I couldn't put it to words.
"Why don't you just leave Jessica? Haven't you caused me enough pain?" He said not even bothering to look at me. This pissed me off just a little.
"Caleb look at me." I ordered lifting his chin with my hand. The sight of tears in his eyes shocked me. Caleb Danvers never cried about a girl, ever. He looked at me with those tear filled brown eyes and felt the a big jackass.
"What do you have to say?" He said with heated anger. Once more I didn't blame him. Evelyn stood in the corner and I knew she was starting at us. I didn't give a damn.
"Caleb I love you." He opened his mouth to speak. "Just shut up and listen for once Danvers." I said with a little anger of my own. He listened. "I'm leaving because I have to. My mother is dying. I got a call from my maternal grandmother and she told me my mom was sick, that was two months ago. I got another call from her the other day. My mom is not going to make it to see next Christmas, that means she will live for about a year and a half almost two years if we're lucky. I haven't been the best daughter because I thought myself above her for inheriting these damn powers from my father. But I realized just how much she really means to me. I need to go home and be with her. She needs me Caleb." I said with tears forming in my eyes.
"I see. You were about to say something else the third time you began to speak. What was it?" He asked looking at me intently now. I took a deep breath and prepared to be yelled at by his mother.
"I needed to tell you that..." I began but chocked up. I took a deep breath and began again. "I'm pregnant Caleb." I said looking at the floor and not at him.
"What?" He said unsure of what he heard. "Its mine?" He questioned and at that I laughed. But that wasn't the only thing I was laughing about. His mother looked like she was about to pass out.
"No its Reid's. Of course its your. Your the only guy I've ever done it with. Hell you are my first boyfriend." I stated with a blush.
"So your leaving me to be with sick mother while carrying me child." He stated and I nodded. "How far along?" He asked as I knew he would.
"Four months pregnant and the doctors and I believe its a girl." I stated with a grin.
"But how?" Caleb asked with another one of his cute 'I'm really confused' looks. I smiled.
"I'm in the Simms family line and I'm the first girl ever born with the powers. So go figure. But the fact is I won't be here when she's born and yes I'm keeping her Caleb." I said.
"But I won't be there with you will I?" He sounded so upset.
"No you won't but I'll call you when I go into labor I promise. I'll also call you every day and talk to you. I'm never going to truly leave you. But if you want you can see other people. I mean I'm going to be in San Fransisco for the next two years." I stated. It hurt my heart but I had to say it.
"I won't see another person because I love you Jessica Simms. You and only you." He said pulling me up into a deep kiss. I smiled when he let me go.
"I have to go now Caleb. I'll call you when I get home tonight." I said standing up.
"I'll be waiting for your call." He said with a sad smile. I left the large manor and went to my car that sat in the driveway. I was one of the few sixteen year olds that had a car. But I would be leaving it behind when I went to the airport. As I left my life behind me in Ipswich I found myself crying the whole way across the country.
