Hello since my plot bunnies instead of dieing are increasing I've started working on my 3'rd fic about Haleb. However the second chapter of this story won't be posted unless I get at least five reviews to this one. XOXO. Want more you know what to do :)

-"Can I ask you something? Do you believe me?" As Hanna Marin prepared herself to leave Ravenswood and her on and off boyfriend, Caleb, after finding out that Miranda, the person she thought had stolen him away was dead and that he claimed to be seeing her ghost she slowly pondered the answer to that question.

-"I don't know what to believe", she said while avoiding his gaze, and that was the truth. Because the answers that she had gotten from him after she had arrived in Ravenswood confused the hell out of her. Caleb, the most rational person she had ever known had admitted to her that she was talking to ghosts. "I know what the smart thing would be... But I don't think the smart thing would make me as happy as you do". In just a simple phrase she had managed to put out al her feelings about the whole situation to Caleb. She partially understood that a part of him needed to find closure about Miranda's death. Just like she now knew that after he found it he would probably head back to Rosewood to find her. Right now she wasn't sure what she would do if he decided to come back to her.

-"What are you going to tell the others?" Caleb's voice sounded distant reminding her of that moment weeks prior when she had watched him get into his car and walk away from her life. She had refused to accept that moment as their goodbye just like she refused to believe that he would stay away from her life permanently even now that she knew about Miranda's death.

-"Nothing. We know how to keep secrets" Hanna slowly reminded him that even though they had always been opened to one another, both of them kept and shared a lot of secrets from different persons. Hanna felt uncomfortable reminding him this because while she would have loved to be able to confide into someone about what he was going through however the secrets they shared with one another were meant for them only. They both had confided to each other with things that no one else knew about them and as far as Hanna was concerned things would stay that way.

-"There's no one like you in the entire world." Caleb slowly reached out his hand and took Hanna's, what was supposed to be a slow comforting gesture also held a lot of significance about what his true feelings were. He had without words just told Hanna that he would be coming back to her when everything was over. Granted if she would take him back or not that would be her choice. Regardless of her decision she would still be safe of everything going on in Ravenswood.

-"That's true". Hanna finally decided that her heart's pain about leaving Caleb in Ravenswood a second time around, wasn't going to go away that easily, so she indulged herself into doing the one thing that she knew was a mistake, but it would be a mistake she would never come to regret. She took a step forward wrapped her hand around Caleb's neck and kissed him. It was a slow, gentle kiss meant to remind him of all the things they had gone through together. She slowly pulled away from the kiss but she didn't release him yet.

-"Keep that in a safe place. Don't lose it." She thus reminded him of his final words when he had left Rosewood weeks ago. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity and what Hanna saw written on his face was the love that he still had for her.

-"I won't."She knew after hearing his answer that no matter what was up ahead for them, they weren't over yet. So it was time for her to decide whether she would wait for him or not. It definitely broke both their hearts that he had to let her walk away from him. But at least for now they knew where they stood with each other. It was no longer a painful goodbye just a bittersweet farewell. She slowly released him and stepped into her car, as Caleb silently closed her door and then watched her drive away pain written all over his face.

Unaware of his surroundings Caleb slowly started to walk away towards his loft only to realize after he had been walking for what seemed like an eternity that he had reached the twins house. As he slowly debated whether or not to walk away from the house he noticed that a police car was parked just across the street fro the house. Frowning he waited to see what would hapen next. Much to his surprise he saw Rochelle Matheson escorting the police men outside her house while Luke and Olivia got out of there as well.

For some reason Olivia seemed to have been crying again. His decision being made Caleb approached his two friends, Luke simply nodded his head towards him as Olivia wrapped her arms around him and started sobbing against his chest, surprising them both. At Caleb's raised eyebrow regarding Olivia's actions Luke gave him an explanation.

-"The police dropped by to tell us that in light of the new evidence they had discovered after searching my dad's office , they are dropping the charges against my mom. They have tried to get in touch with Dillon but apparently he died. He was run over by a train, just around the time we were in the chapel with Mr. Collins."

Caleb felt his blood freeze at the idea of another person dieing, since he already knew just how important getting answers from Dillon was. He felt Olivia shaking near him and slowly took her back towards the house's porch. He slowly helped her sit down in the love chair outside it ad he then let himself sit down as well.

-"So I guess we'll never know for sure how exactly did he find out about...? Or why he would go after your dad and set your mom up. Where's Remy?" Caleb felt a headache coming his way because it had been a long day for all of them. First Hanna's visit, then the truth about Charles Matheson came out, followed by Remy's kidnapping and the showdown with Abbadon. He made a mental note for himself to never make another complaint about how much of a problem "A" was ever again.

-"She went home to let her father know that she's alright. And then she's coming here as well." the teens were silenced by Rochelle's arrival after having sent away the cops. She seemed to have gotten younger with about a decade after the heavy burden of her husband's death had been elucidated.

-"Helllo Caleb. I hadn't even noticed that you were paying us a visit. I was just about to make dinner. Would you like to join us? And Luke call Remy and ask her if she wants to come over for dinner as well". Caleb slowly realized that it was probably the Matheson women way of handling things by doing house choruses. He slowly thought of a way of getting out of the invitation but his thoughts were slowly interrupted by Olivia's sudden pressure on his hand.

-"Please Caleb just stay over for dinner. And mom maybe we should invite Mr. Collins here as well. He did help us out a lot during this whole mess." Caleb slowly sighed and nodded his head defeated.-"I would love to stay over for dinner Mrs. Matheson." as Rochelle turned back in her house to start on dinner, Remy slowly reached the house and ook in the scene before her. Luke was watching his sister and Caleb sitting next to each other on the love chair. As she was quickly put up to speed with the whole dinner thing going on sh slowly made a move towards Olivia.

-"Why don't we just go inside and help your mom with the dinner and setting up the table, Liv?" Each of the three teens feared what Olivia might do next considering that she had the biggest shocks in the past few hours coming her way. "Especially since you thought about inviting Mr. Collins here as well." as the girls made their way inside the house Olivia slowly mumbled something under her breath that just made her friend laugh at her.

Luke watched them go inside before he turned back to face Caleb. "So how are things in the love triangle", he slowly teased his friend "Does Hanna still plan to rip Miranda a new one? And how is Miranda taking all of this in? How are you holding up by the way?"

Caleb slowly sighed and then rubbed the back of his neck. "Hanna's not jealous anymore. She sees no reason to be jealous and truthfully she has no reason to be jealous since I love her and not Miranda. I don't know how Miranda's doing because I certainly haven't spoken to her alone ever since Hanna came to Ravenswood. I know how she feels about me but it's not like this was a competition. She knew right from the start that I love Hanna. And while I don't want to see her suffering because of me I can't just change my feelings over who I love. As to how I'm doing? Ask me tomorrow when I'd have time to process everything that's happened today".

Remy came out to let them know that dinner was ready just as Raymond Collins parked his car in the drive way. They all made their way back inside for dinner unaware that across the street a confused Miranda had been watching the scene right next to an even more confused Caleb Rivers. Ancestor of the one that had just entered the Matheson house for dinner.

So lovelies you know the drill. Want more ? Like, Love, Hate it? Just tell me so and why. And if there's enough answers I'll post a next chapter soon.
