A/N Hey guys, these are a series of Haleb one shots from any scene between them from the show, 5 years forward living happily in New York... maybe with a few bumps in the road some chapters ;) and some further Haleb future for you all! This chapter is from the ending of 6x20. I hope you enjoy.

Broken Promises

"I should've checked the floorboards," Caleb whispered, his heart beating erratically whilst running a shaky hand through his soft brown locks. He was such an idiot. He promised Hanna he wouldn't let anything happen to her and now this time... he had let her down.

The kiss they shared just 10 minutes earlier, sent electricity through his veins, butterflies at the pit of his stomach and a sensation he hadn't felt since the moment he and Hanna had broke up. As he stood there, completely still and drained, he pictured the girl who was once his, running in the rain in her 5 inch heels sprinting to get to him before it was too late, and it was and now he suddenly resented himself.

He was on the verge of tears as he kept hearing his sweet Hanna's voice in his head telling him that she came back for him, that she never stopped loving him, but he was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by a very anxious, very confused Ezra.

"Caleb, who would've thought to do that?" Ezra questioned, trying to remain calm as it was pretty clear Caleb was going to break down into hysterics any second now, but clearly it just got him even more riled up.

"A!" Caleb yelled, his breathing quickening as Aria gave him a look which definitely indicated that she knew something happened between them before they came back to the room. But Caleb didn't care any more, he had made so many mistakes in his life and this was by far the biggest one he had made. Leaving Hanna's side. Believing that Hanna had really chosen her job over their relationship, over the love they had built the past 5 years of being together, he couldn't lose her...again.

He quickly snatched the flash light out of Ezra's grasp and began his journey underground before Aria placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"Caleb...what are you doing?" Aria exclaimed worriedly raising an inquisitive eyebrow.

Caleb closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath, tugging on his bottom lip before replying. "I need to find her...I can't lose her again," His voice cracked and a single tear escaped his chocolate brown orb which earned a look of empathy from Aria.

The couple gave Caleb a look of approval before he raced down the narrow, dark and dismal passage, every single memory he and Hanna had together, flooding his mind.

Hanna and Caleb were located at a restaurant in Manhattan called Pepolino, it was Italian and Caleb loved to bring her here on special occasions, and tonight it was. It was their 4 year anniversary together and they couldn't be happier, especially after all they had faced, -A, the dollhouse, Hanna's PTSD and here they were living in the big apple in their stylish apartment, working well-paid jobs and living such a happy life together, filled with laughs and just pure love.

"I can't believe it's been 4 years," Hanna spoke whilst her face lit up like glee.

"I can," Caleb whispered slowly dragging out the words, whilst Hanna shivered at his hot breath against her ear. He pressed several kisses on her soft cheek which had now turned a shade darker, making her blush was his favourite thing to do, and the fact she was one of those people that blushed at any sweet compliment given to her, made her all the more adorable. It was one of his favourite traits that had been passed on to her. "I always knew we would make it."

Hanna couldn't stop the smile that spread across her, turning towards him with complete adoration at the fact he was doting on her so much. She slowly leaned closer and closer to him, their lips only slightly touching.

"I love you so much," Hanna proclaimed, snorting when Caleb tried to push his lips on to hers, but she wasn't finished. "I promise to never let anything come between us."

Caleb grinned before they finally connected lips, it was sweet, urgent and he swore to himself that he would never feel like this for anyone else. He gave her two quick pecks, placing a delicate kiss on the tip of her nose before resting his forehead against hers.

"I love you more," He confirmed, smiling at his girl who was sporting the hugest grin on her face, yeah he definitely wouldn't feel like this about anyone else.

He kept running and running, his legs weak at the thought of her in pain, his brain physically hurting from just thinking about their memories. The memory of when she promised she would never let anything come between them, the memory of when he swore to himself he'd never love anyone else and that he would protect her from any other obstacles that came her way.

It was during the last year of their relationship when things became rocky, she would always be at the office designing, or touring the world with her demanding bosses and although he was proud that she had finally been able to pursue her dream career, he hated seeing her being pushed around. Again. She never listened to him, Hanna had became too invested in the fashion world and what everyone thought of her. She would continuously blow off dinner's, miss both of their birthday's and even miss the one day of the year Caleb wanted to start off with her, New Years Eve.

Of course he loved her, god he loved her with every fibre of his body, but he'd be lucky if he even saw her for at least 4 hours a day. They had planned to spend time travelling Europe together; he wanted to be one of those touristy couples, but as time grew closer to them leaving, she had blew it off claiming she would lose her job, it was the same excuse time and time again.

"HANNA" Caleb screamed as he came close enough to what looked like a dead end of the passage, but it wasn't. He turned left and continued running, but this time sprinting before everything was too late, before Amoji did something that was even more life threatening.

He breathed out a sigh of relief as he heard a tiny whimper, a sound he knew all too well. He let the tears fall as he heard a scream, it was faint but when he heard the same sound again, it was louder, it sounded more painful and he was doing all he could to get there as fast as he could.

"C-c-ale-b," He heard Hanna whimper.

Caleb came to another three-way path and stood still, encouraging her to speak again, trying to figure out which way her voice would lead him. As soon as she got her words out, although he could tell she was struggling, he took another left whispering the same thing of I'm coming Hanna to reassure her, over and over again before letting his mind wander back to their penultimate memory.

"I want you to come with me to Europe like we have been planning for the last three months," Caleb said frustrated, he was beyond annoyed that Hanna had yet again blew off the one thing he was looking forward to the most with her.

Hanna had a look of sadness and guilt plastered on her face but she wasn't going to change her mind. She had already tried to compromise but she knew it may have not been enough any more. "I can't do that," She declared, taking one precious step towards him to engulf him in a hug but he turned his back towards her, now she was really sure it wouldn't be enough. She had told him that she would only miss Prague due to work commitments, but he barely believed her any more.

Hanna grabbed her suitcase and moved to leave, knowing Caleb was pissed at her for this and there was no way she would be getting any type of affection from him right now. She unlocked the door moving to walk out, telling herself she would just call Caleb from the cab. She knew they would work through this and sort it out. Before she could move any more, he said what she didn't know would be his last words to her.

"If you go now, I'm not going to be here when you get back," He confirmed, his expression stoic as Hanna gave him a glance of uncertainty.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving today, I can't keep doing this." Caleb explained, shaking his head in the process. He didn't want to be that guy who gave her an ultimatum but he had run out of things to do now.

Hanna didn't know what to do now either, she was so in love with him but ever since she was a little girl all she ever dreamed about was being in the fashion world, and with everything that had happened to her in the past, she was unsure whether she would actually make it come true. She went with her gut, certain that they would both work it out, they always had these petty arguments.

"We will work things out, like we always do," She took a deep breath, her eyes connecting with his, his eyes were filled with liquid and she cursed herself for daring to look into his eyes in the first place. She always gave in to those sweet, warm, brown eyes of his. "I'll call you from the cab."

She wheeled her suitcase out of their apartment and then she was gone. Caleb stood there completely stunned. The love of his life had chosen her job over him.

God he was such an idiot, he had lived with the painful feeling of Hanna choosing her job over him. Opening up to her best friend and leaning on her, it was so wrong of him to do so and he felt tremendous twinges of guilt. He had now only truly understood how Hanna must of felt seeing them together, he finally knew why she had given Spencer the 'okay' of them dating and that was all because he had no idea Hanna had came back for him. If he had just packed slower and trusted his instincts that she would've come back to him, like Hanna said... things would've been so different now. Especially as he was going to surprise her by proposing to her in Budapest.

He was coming to the end of the passage, Hanna's precious voice inching closer and louder to his ear which made his heart mend slightly.

"Hanna, where are you? Are you okay?" He screamed at the top of his lungs, rage bubbling inside of him as he was met with the sight of a struggling Hanna, a red hand mark splayed across her cheek, whilst the unknown identity was ripping her clothes off. Her hair was matted and her make-up was smeared all around her petite face from the tears. "Let her go!" Caleb all but yelled, not even looking at Hanna, knowing he would break down at how vulnerable she looked.

The person was dressed in a black hoodie with a mask covering its face; and it felt like they were back in high school all over again. Amoji slowly turned around to face Caleb, staring up at him and effortlessly reached for a sharp knife and pointed it into Hanna's direction, Caleb's eyes practically bulged out of his head as Hanna cried frightened and before he knew it, he ran straight towards the physco who was willing to kill her ready to push him away from her and beg him to take his life instead of hers. But instead the unknown identity ran away from the both of them, leaving Caleb breathing frantically and Hanna crying uncontrollably.

"Caleb..." She trailed off as her eyes stared drooping to a close.

"Hey hey, I'm here," Caleb reassured, although he was panicking on the inside. He couldn't let her leave him, not again.

Hanna had become more alert once Caleb moved over to her and carefully wrapped her up in his strong arms, she had never felt safer. "My head...it hurts." Hanna winced in pain.

Caleb was freaking out, he was underground, trying to hold Hanna's dead weight as she was almost fainting right there in his arm and trying to use his other arm to rummage around his coat pocket for his cell phone. "Shhh baby," He just hoped his calming words were enough to soothe her.

He quickly dialled Spencer and on the first ring, she picked up.

"Caleb, I'm so sorry..." Spencer cried, but she was cut of by a frantic Caleb.

"Look, I've got her, but she...she's passing out and she... there's blood spewing from her head... tell the guys and call an ambulance, please...I can't lose her." Caleb had almost forgotten who he was speaking to but with the girl in his arms, he couldn't deny the fact that he was still completely and irrevocably head over heels in love with her.

"Of course, we'll send them down there. Caleb...please tell Han she's going to be okay and that I love her so much...I can tell you're both still so in love with each other and I completely understand that. I know how important you were to Han, she would tell me every single day..." Spencer wiped at her eyes and it had only just hit her, of course Hanna was still in love with him.

"I'll always respect you Spencer," Caleb sighed, before the call cut off.

He focused his attention back to the girl he knew he was in love with, staring down at her rearranged face. God she was such a sweet, amazing, beautiful person why did she deserve any of this?

"The ambulance is on its way Hanna, you're going to be okay...I promise. Can you hang in there for me?" Caleb encouraged as a tear spilled out of his eye and landed on her burning cheek. She nodded giving him a small smile, scrunching her eyes up in pain before Caleb felt her place her hand on top of his, it sent a spark through his body and it was all he could do to lean his face closer to hers and articulate the words he wanted to say and knew she was dying for him to say back to her.

Placing his lips lightly on hers to avoiding worsening her pain, he gave her a series of sweet pecks before brushing a few stray strands of sweaty hair away from her forehead as gently as he could.

"I never stopped loving you either..."
