I really wasn't sure if I would be posting season 2 for this story but I was having a bad day and watching WITCH. I really couldn't help myself from carrying on the missing moments. I just love this pairing so much! Let me know what you think, please review!
It had been the perfect night. They had won, they had beaten Phobos. Cornelia had her best friend back. She could finally be with Caleb. It had been perfect. They had danced together well into the night, he had been care-free. They could spend the evening kissing without hesitation for the first time in their life. Which Caleb had definitely proved, he was constantly finding ways to touch her. Holding her hand when they were with the others. Pulling her close as they danced, her hand around his neck and his hands on her waist. Occasionally slipping lower and testing the water. Every time she would raise her eyebrow and he would give her the cheeky charming smile she craved. The night had been filled with light pecks on the lips followed by sweet words and laughter. As the night was coming to an end he had once again found her hand this time pulling her towards a fountain away from the crowds.
As soon as they were away from prying eyes he nudged her against the wall and there kiss deepened. Cornelia ran her hands into his hair grasping his deep brown locks. Caleb let out a sigh at the feels and tilted her head up further. They had been craving this for so long. Pulling back Caleb rested his head on her forehead.
"I can't believe we finally got to do that."
Cornelia smiled and pulled him back in again.
"There's no reason to stop."
He happily obliged laughing at her demand. Once he pulled back again Cornelia began to talk.
"We can finally go on that date we planned. Do all the couple stuff we wanted to do."
Instantly at her words Caleb's eyebrows buried together.
"Cornelia, I want to be with you."
"We finally can."
"We can, it's just I need to be here in Meridian. There is so much rebuilding to do. Someone needs to guard Elyon. I have to stay here Cornelia."
Instantly Cornelia pushed against Caleb's chest, moving quickly to the fountain. She could feel her heart start to race, she felt sick.
"What do you mean you're not coming back to Earth?"
"Cornelia, come on you must have thought I would stay."
"You told me you were coming to Earth. You wanted to be with me."
"Cornelia please."
She felt the tears pooling in her eyes.
"I thought we had a future?"
"We can Cornelia, I promise I just have to stay here. We can still do this, I l…"
"Don't say it Caleb. You don't mean it or you wouldn't be doing this."
He stood next to her at the fountain, catching the tears in her eyes as she turned away from her. He tried to grab her hand but she pulled away. He watched the features on her face turn to anger.
"It's not you I will miss it is blunk."
She said turning to see the small green creature and wrapping him in a hug. By then the guardians had come looking for them, telling them it was time to leave for Earth. Clearly noticing the tension between the pair. Cornelia spoke.
"Lets go."
Caleb watched her back as she moved through the porthole, noting that she didn't glance back once. She had made a big show of saying goodbye to Elyon and then blanked him. The rest of the girls had given him a hug goodbye, but she was already stood in front of the porthole. He felt his heart contract at the cold response. He still wanted to be with her, he thought that they would be able to make it work on the two worlds. He had heard people on earth call it long distance. They had been having such a perfect night, things felt so right. He couldn't believe that it was all gone now. He really didn't think she would handle it like this, he knew that she wasn't going to be happy – that much was obvious after knowing her for so long. He just thought that she would be mad but then he would tell her the truth, that he loved her, and they would therefore be able to work through it. He didn't even get the chance to tell her. He'd known that the feelings he had for her were turning into love from the very beginning, but it had been the second that she had burst through the wall during the fight against Phobos. Seeing her and knowing she was alive, seeing her save his world had been the sudden realisation. He was in love with her.
He stormed off into the castle fully planning to brood in his room like a typical teenage boy. He annoyed laughed at himself, he had stopped being a rebel leader about 8 hours ago and already he was a typical teenager. However, as his walk progressed her realised he didn't even have a room. He had nowhere to go. He had a place on Earth, he should have least gone back for a couple of days to gather himself. He kicked the wall in annoyance. Feeling tears form in his eyes. God he had screwed up, he really hoped that the next time he saw Cornelia she would be willing to give this a go.
She hadn't said a word to the guardians, she had just turned and left. She had gotten home and straight into bed, not before pulling down the picture of them, the one he liked so much and chucked it on the table. Fully letting her tears fall she curled up in bed. She couldn't decide what she was more hurt by, the fact that he had made so many promises to her that he never intended to keep or the fact he was back on Meridian. But, the thing that really crushed her heart is he was going to say I love you. He was going to say it and still put the veil between them. How can someone do that if they love you?
She reached under her bed and pulled out her diary. Flipping through she read all the moments they had. All the promises that they had made of dates and a relationship. It was there taunting her, she growled in frustration ripping the pages out and throwing them onto the desk with the photo. She would deal with them tomorrow. Rolling back over she cried until she fell asleep.
