This story is dedicated to imaginative-dreamer. I thought about it and it actually is pretty good and I'm posting it. Thank you. This is for you!
Like many relationships, Kate's and Pogue's didn't last. But mine and Caleb's would never end. I was sure of it. Call me naive, but I don't care. Caleb went through great risks to save me and I doubt he'd just throw it all away.
Kate and I sat in our room quietly, doing work until Caleb walked in with a shopping bag in his hand. He smiled at me and I returned it gleefully. "I brought you dinner," he said as he handed the bag to me.
"Thanks, but I already ate." I put the bag on the desk in front of me.
"Are you sure you don't want any of it?" He put the bag in my lap this time.
I shook my head as I gave it back.
"Just look in the bag!"
I was kind of scared now. "Why am I looking in the bag?" He didn't answer so I did as I was told and looked in the bag. When I saw what was in it, I gasped. My first and only response was
"No."
Caleb blinked multiple times then laughed. "You mean 'yes', right?"
I shook my head. "No, I mean 'no'." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kate creeping out of the room slowly. I wanted to scream to her and force to stay with me but I could barely speak.
"Sarah, you don't want to marry me?"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I shook my head again. "We're too young!"
"So?" I said nothing. "Will you at least look at the damn ring?"
I placed the bag back in his hand, with the small, velvet box still inside. "No, thank you."
Caleb's eyes turned black and the room began to shake. I was shocked. It wasn't that I didn't know about his "special abilities," it was just that he had never used them because of or against me. Pictures flew from their places on the wall and books off the shelves. Then abruptly, it all stopped and Caleb exited the room, slamming the door loudly behind him.
I rushed to clean everything up and while doing so, Reid walked in. It was strange because we weren't very good friends and he never spoke to me. "Is Caleb in—whoa! What happened here?"
"Caleb proposed," I croaked.
He laughed. "And you celebrated by tearing your room apart?" He plopped onto Kate's bed and sprawled out as if it were his own. Reid, always making himself at home.
"I said no."
His face suddenly went blank. "What?"
"I. Said. No." I ground my teeth together.
It took him a while to understand. "W-why?"
"I don't know. Can you just… leave?"
Reid stood up, nodded, and walked to the door. Before walking out, he took one more look at the damage in my room. His eyes turned black and I cringed, remembering what happened with Caleb, but instead of everything falling; everything went back into place. "Good night."
"Yeah. You too."
He left, leaving the door open for Kate who was standing right outside. She looked at me expectantly as she walked in.
"I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to sleep."
"It's only seven thirty."
"I'm going to sleep!" I repeated then turned out the lights. I felt around, looking for my bed and cursed myself for shutting off the light before I was actually in the bed.
