"Mona, seriously be more careful next time or else you'll drown." Caleb yelled to his friend half serious as he pulled her onto his surfboard. Caleb was eighteen years old and already was a fully fledged lifeguard. "Sorry, I really wanted to catch that wave." She apologized holding onto the front of the board. "Get surf lessons then and stop distracting me from my job." He laughed.

"Umm I don't think I was distracting you, I think she was." Mona said pointing towards the beach. She's right Hanna was distracting me. He saw her everywhere, even looking down at the water reminded Caleb of Hanna, the blue ocean making him think of her eyes. They hadn't spoken in over a year now, it was crazy to him. Hanna had been a part of his life since he was seven when he moved Miami. Eleven years ago, when everything was perfect but now everything was far from perfect.

"Mommy, I'm bored." Caleb whined staring out of his new bedroom window while his Mother and Stepfather unpacked boxes in their new home. Claudia sighed an walked up to him. "Well why don't you go and play at the park across the road, I'll be able to see you because William and I are about to start unpacking the kitchen." She smiled hoping that would entertain her son for a few hours.

"Thanks Mommy." Caleb said giving her a kiss before running out the door causing his mother to chuckle. Clearly not wanting to be cooped up in a house for the rest of the day. The neighborhood he now lived is was small but filled with expensive houses that you would only see in movies.

Caleb looked both way before crossing the road. He was excited to live in a new place but also very sad because he had to move all the way across the country leaving his father behind but he never really saw his Dad much anyway, he was always traveling around for jobs.

He closed the gate behind him before looking around at the other people at the park, they were mainly little kids except one girl who was being pushed by her father on the swings who might be around the same age as him. Caleb looked around deciding what to do he could swing, slide down the blue slide, climb up the frame, attempt to do the monkey bars or he could dig in the sandbox. He decided on the last one.

Picking up a blue shovel with a cream wooden handle he began to dig, every once in a while Caleb would wave to his mother so she would know he was ok. He dug for some time complete caught consumed in his own thoughts before they were suddenly interrupted. "What are you doing?" The little girl who was being pushed by her father on the swings asked him.

She had golden blonde hair that was tied up in two neat piggy tails and ocean blue eyes that made him think of crystals. She was wearing a white striped shirt and blue overalls with flowers the same color as her shirt. This was all topped of with a necklace that had a tiny bottle on the end and if you looked closely you could see the message inside.

"I'm digging to China." He smiled up at her. Caleb was taken aback by how beautiful and utterly adorable she was. "Can I help?" She asked picking up a pink shovel from behind her. "Sure." He answered going back to digging. The two seven year olds dug to China for a little while until the eventually got bored and decided to swing on the swings.

"How come I've never seen you here before?" The long haired blonde asked as she tightly held onto the rope being extra careful not to fly off and break a bone. "I just moved here all the way from the other side of America." Her eyes got really big. "Whoa that must be really far away." She said stunned.

"I'm Hanna by the way, Hanna Marin and you are?"

"Caleb, Caleb Rivers." Caleb politely answered.

"Come on Hanna we have to leave now." Tom called out to his daughter loudly, the two kids looked over to him. "Bye Caleb." Hanna waved, stopping her swing and grabbing her fathers hand as they walked back to her house. Caleb watched them walk out the gate, he wondered if he would ever see her again but something told him this wouldn't be the last time.

"Caleb." Mona yelled waving her hands in the air, disturbing him from his memory. Suddenly he realized she was talking to him so he looked up. "Sorry what did you ask?" Mona groaned and rolled his eyes annoyed that she had to repeat herself for the millionth time. "I said Toby asked me if you wanted to go to his house for a bonfire tonight, I won't be there because Mike and I are hanging out with Hanna and Zayn tonight but He, Spencer, Aria, Ezra, Emily and Alison will be." She finished taking a deep breath.

"I cant I'm working late." He answered. "How is Hanna by the way?" Caleb asked. It was strange to ask that, he was should know how she was they were best friends before everything happened. The choice to end their friendship wasn't even made by themselves. The decision was made two years ago by Hanna's father and his Stepfather but when a year later William found texts from Hanna on Caleb phone he went to the school and made Hanna end the friendship right there on the spot..

What made it worse, they shared the same group of friends. The first few outings the group had together both Hanna and Caleb tagged along but never spoke to each other just to please their fathers, it was so abnormal, the two people who talked to each other the most out of the entire group were sitting right next to each other sometimes their shoulders or thighs would be touching but neither spoke a single word to the other. Eventually this got very awkward so when the group would have outings Caleb wouldn't go if Hanna was there and vice versa. Hanna and Caleb eventually grew apart and never spoke again, not even glancing at each other when the walked down the hallways of their high school and now here they were one year later.

"She's good, doesn't really know what she's going to do now that high schools over, anyway I have to go now Hanna's probably about to go crazy waiting for me." Mona turned around seeing Hanna watching them further up the beach with her hand placed on her hips. "Bye Caleb." She finished running off to her friend.

"Mona why were you talking to Caleb?" Hanna asked looking directly at her friend not want to look away or she would see Caleb who was very likely watching them talk right now. "I'm sorry, Toby wanted me to ask him something." Mona apologized. "I'm not mad it's just if my Dad saw you talking to Caleb, he would assume I was too and he would flip out again."

Mona vividly remembered the day it all went down, I mean how could you not remember everything from the tears to the, yelling and above all the sadness that surround the entire situation. No one could forget that. Ever.

"Come on Mona let's go shopping." Hanna yelled, wanting to end the conversation about Caleb because she missed him so dearly. They had so many memories together and it absolutely broke her heart that they could speak or spend time with each other anymore because her father and his stepfather hated each other. It wasn't always this way, their parents used to be best friends in fact they even vacationed together loads of times.

"This was a great idea getting a beach house instead of a hotel room now Hanna & Caleb can run around all day together like maniacs and we don't have to here it." Tom laughed patting William on the back as they watched the two eight year olds chase each other around the backyard while getting soaked by the sprinklers.

"Daddy, Caleb and I are going down to the beach to look for treasure." Hanna called out to her father as she lifted the latch on the gate with Caleb following behind her. "ok have fun just don't go in the water and stay where we can see you." He replied knowing he could trust his daughter. "We will." Hanna called back before the two best friends ran out the gate hand in hand.

"Where should we started digging." Caleb asked as his eyes scanned the beach. "I dunno, let's just start here then." Hanna decided getting down on the ground and began to dig. "Do you think we will find any treasure, Han?" Caleb asked. Hanna looked up but didn't realize her shovel was in the way and she accidentally smacked herself in the mouth with it making her instantly burst in to tears.

"It's ok Hanna, it will stop hurting soon." Caleb said trying to comfort his friend as he pulled her in for a hug. After five minutes of tears Hanna pulled her head up and noticed there was blood on Caleb's shoulder. "There's blood on your shoulder." She shrieked running two meters away. "Awesome." Caleb said happily, he was definitely Jamie's son.

"Huh, my tooth is about to fall out." Hanna discovered, her tears were now forgotten and she was very excited because she knew the tooth fairy would be coming tonight and that meant she could get some money. "Do you want me to pull it out?" He asked standing up and walking over to her.

"No your hands are all sandy, can we go inside and use the door?" Hanna asked wiping the tears off her face so her parents wouldn't notice and they could sneak back into the house and pull out her tooth. "Let's go then." He said grabbing her hand and walking back to the beach house.

"What are you two doing?" William asked calling out to his stepson as Caleb opened the door for Hanna who made sure she had her mouth closed so her tooth wouldn't fall out of her mouth. "We're getting ice cream." He said following Hanna inside. The crazy eight year olds ran up to the room they were sharing and Caleb grabbed some string out of his suite case.

"Open." Caleb told Hanna and he tied the string around her tooth before tying it to the door. "Ready?" He asked knowing she wasn't but he was going to do it anyway so it could be over with and Hanna could get her money. Caleb slammed the door as hard as possible, he noticed Hanna facial expression turn pained. He hated seeing her in pain but then it quickly turned to joy when she bent down and grabbed her tooth. "It came out." She squealed happily hugging Caleb. Hanna missed those hugs.


"Hey William." Caleb murmured as he walked inside his home, not to thrilled to see his stepfather cooking in the kitchen. "Hi." William said back not even looking up to greet his step son. "Your Mom won't be home until later, James has an interview at school."

Caleb was about to walk up stairs before William spoke again.

"You weren't with Hanna were you."

"No I wasn't, I know the rules." He breathed out. "Even if it's a fucking stupid rule." Caleb said under his breathe hoping William wouldn't here him but unfortunately he heard. "No cussing in the house." William overreacted. Sure he knew not to cuss in from of his parents but this was a bit of an over reaction.

"I'll cuss if I want to." Caleb fired back, The anger of not being able to see Hanna was consuming him. "Listen I know you don't like me, trust me the feelings mutual but I love your mother and you live under my roof, so you obey my rules and that includes no swearing and absolutely no contact with Tom Marin's daughter."

"Look I get it you hate Tom but I don't understand why I can't still be friends with Hanna." Caleb yelled letting his frustration get the better of him. "Because you are my stepson and Tom Marin is my enemy and now I don't want you even looking at his daughter."

"That's ridiculous she lives two blocks from here and she goes to the beach all the time to tan, I'm bound to see her." Caleb yelled walking up to William. "Well then that's it, you can no longer work there." William decided taking a step closer to Caleb. The eighteen year old ran his hand threw his hair. "First of all I'm not quitting, I've worked so hard since I was thirteen to get to where I am right now."

"Fine you can stay there but there will be no contact with Hanna, she is rat just like her father." That comment made Caleb snap. "Hanna is not a rat, you are." He screamed getting right up in William's face. "How dare you." William yelled getting ready to fight Caleb.

"Please stop fighting!" A crying Clay yelled coming down the stairs in his pj's. "Do you really want to hit me in front of your son." Caleb calmly said smirking at William. The older man turned back to his cooking. "It's ok." Caleb soothed his younger brother picking Clay up and taking him back to his room.


It was now two o'clock in the morning and Caleb was wide awake he couldn't get Hanna of his mind, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he heard someone climbing in his window. He immediately jumped up and grabbed his brothers baseball bat that for some reason was in his room.

He turned on his bedroom light to scare the intruder away but when he saw her face he dropped the bat, it hit the ground with a loud thud. It was Hanna at the window. Caleb unlocked the window and let her in. When they were younger sneaking to each others houses at night was a common occurrence, luckily they were never caught.

"Hanna what are you doing here." Caleb whispered not wanting to wake up his stepfather. "I was bored so I thought I'd come and see you." Caleb noticed how she was slurring her words. "Hanna are you drunk."

"Just a little bit." She replied walking forward almost falling down, clearly it wasn't just a little bit. "What if you had fallen off the roof and broken your neck." Caleb tried to convince her not to drink and climb on his house. "I would've laughed and hoped someone filmed it."

"Oh god Hanna." He sighed. "I thought you were going out with Mona, Mike and Zayn tonight?" He asked not liking the thought of Hanna boyfriend. "We did and then we came back and then he went home and then I got drunk and then I came to see you." Hanna laid it out to him, using a lot of ands.

"Come on Hanna I'm taking you home." Caleb said grabbing his keys. "I'll just come back." She smirked at him. He sighed not knowing what to do. If he took her home, she'd come back and he didn't want her climbing on the roof in case she fell but if he let her stay here they might get caught.

"Go lay down." He sighed pointing at his bed. Hanna walked over to it and almost tripped climbing in, as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out. Caleb locked his door and put a chair in front of it before climbing in next to her. He pulled her body closer and wrapped his arms around her. He did this for two reasons one if she woke up during the night and decided to go exploring and two because he missed he so bad and was desperate for any affection from her. Caleb kissed the top of her head.

"You have no idea how much I love you, Han."

Let me know if I should continue this. Its so much fun to write them as kids. Why do you think Tom & William hate each other. Also Claudia & Ashley don't hate each other its just Tom & William. Poor Hanna & Caleb. Please review xx
