Do you remember we'd be up all night?
talking till the morning light?
Yeah, like the way it used to be those simple days.
Just you and me.
I think baby I know what's on your mind
Cause you look like you've got something to say.
I may not say those words anymore but maybe it just ain't my way?
You ask me do I love you?
But do you remember why I walked on water for you?
Do you remember my first steps on the moon?
Have you ever wonder why I gave three wishes to you?
You ask the question but the answer lies in you.
Caleb has been gone for 2 weeks now. And I can't help feeling like there's something I am missing. I mean it's not like him to just up and leave me. I thought to myself as I was at my locker looking at the picture that Lucas took of us when we were cheering on Emily at her swim meet, I didn't realize how long I was staring at it until I felt someone jerk my shoulder and jumped. "Hanna you okay?" I sighed looking at Lucas. "Yeah I'm alright I guess, sorry just spaced." Lucas looked passed me and glanced at the picture "You miss him don't you?" I smiled weakly at him. "Is it that obvious." He laughed slightly. I miss Caleb's laugh. "You haven't seen yourself lately have you?" I shook my head. "What are you doing tonight?" I kinked my eyebrow and gave him my are you serious look. "Okay well I am going to give you details later, but meet me at the park at 8 alright." Before I can answer he already turned and walked away. I really wasn't in the mood to do anything tonight, not that I wouldn't want to do anything with Lucas.
The rest of the day seemed to go on forever. My phone went off while I was fixing myself in the bathroom, I dashed to it thinking maybe Caleb was finally going to call, instead unknown number popped up on the screen Fuck me, not this again. I am not sure how much I can really take of A.
I see London. I see France. I smell a liar on the prance. Not too big, not too small. Just once a so called friend…Someone you know is the reason for your man leaving. Bet you didn't know he had a good-bye written for you. Better rethink your real friends Han-han. – A
The only thing I could think of was Mona. She had been acting way too pushy as a friend lately, and ironicly it's started since Caleb left. I rush out of the bathroom and find Mona waiting at my locker. "I need to talk to you. Now." She looked at me with this stupid dumbfounded look. "What's on your mind Hans?" "I want the honest truth and nothing less, did Caleb say or leave anything for me. I need to know and if you don't tell me I will tell everyone about the time you got your period when you wore your white juicy pants in gym class freshman year. Now spill!" Mona's mouth fell open, she must have forgot about that day I came to her rescue but giving her my American Eagle sweatshirt that I really loved. "Okay look Hans don't get mad, but the night of the carnival, when you hid, he handed me a letter he written you. I opened it read it and thought it was complete bullshit and threw it away. I really didn't think it would have been good for you to hear something like that knowing that it wouldn't mean anything. I guess he still loved you but I know those are just words, because if he really loved you-he would have stayed Hanna. I am really sorry but I was doing it for you." I shook my head at her and then did something completely out of character, I slapped her across the face just like I did Jenna, and it felt good. "You are by far the worst friend in the world! That is not your choice to make, I stayed up for days on end about thinking he didn't love me or want to care enough to say good-bye. You were never given the right to read something that was addressed to me!" "Hanna calm down I was just trying to help, I was trying to be a fri-" "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THE WORD FRIEND!" People were staring and I could see up the hall that Emily, Spencer, and Aria were watching intensely, I knew they never liked Mona to begin with so this was good for them. "Because a real friend doesn't go behind my back and make me think an asshole secretly loves me still or did, and now won't talk to me because I am a bitch! So Mona if you want to know what a friend is..look it up you will find a picture of me, Emily, Spencer and Aria. If you want to look up backstabbing psycho bitch…you'll see your 7th grade picture of when you got that allergic reaction to strawberries." And with that I slammed my locker and walked to my friends who gave me a group hug.
At 8 I was waiting at the park for Lucas to show up. I hated being in creepy places, and the park was always one of them. I checked my watch and it was 8:15. Where could he be. I thought to myself, all the sudden I heard the snapping of a twig, I turn my head "Who's there? Lucas?" I wallk towards the nose, there was nothing. Maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me? I walk back to the bench and sit down and place my head in my hands and close my eyes. "Hey princess." My head still in my hands, "Lucas if that's supposed to be your impression of Caleb I don't find it very funny. Now what took you so…." I lifted my head and looked at the tall tan figure standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets. "long." Caleb just looked at me with softest face. I stood up. "What? How?" Caleb looked at me with a small weak smile, "Hi Caleb how are you? I am fine Hanna thanks for asking…Lucas picked me up at a rest stop." I looked at another figure coming into the moon light surrounding us and saw Lucas walking over with a smile on his face. "After we talked I planned to bring him as a surprise, I hate seeing you like you were Hanna and after what you did to Mona. You deserve answers from him. And you both deserve to be happy with each other." I rushed over to Lucas and gave him a hug. "Thank you." I whispered so only he could hear. I pulled away and he smiled. He gave a guy nod to Caleb, and walked away. I turned and Caleb sat on top of the picnic table. There was a comfortable silence Caleb spoke first. "So you really slapped Mona huh?" I rolled my eyes. "And Jenna." Caleb's eyes went wide. "Wow you turned into a little badass while I was gone." I walked over and sat next to him. "Lots of things changed while you were gone." Caleb cringed a little, "Like what?" I took in his eyes, they looked sorry. "Like the fact that I don't want to hear you saying your sorry. When I know you aren't." Caleb got off the table and walked over to see the lake. "Hanna I didn't mean to take off. But I meant everything I said in my letter." I looked at him in surprise. "What letter?" Caleb sighed. "Why do you think you slapped Mona, you must have known about the letter. Don't play dumb."
"Honestly I thought she was making it up. There was really a letter?" He looked me directly into my eyes, I was getting lost in those amazing brown eyes. "Yeah. I meant everything I said in it, left you a promise ring for promising I would come back for you again some day. I told you I loved you in it too." I huffed and got up to leave but Caleb grabbed my arm. Goosebumps crawled up my arms just from his touch alone. I jerked away and walked to the swings and sat down, Caleb leaned against the pole. "When I was 9 and my dad left, he left me a key necklace. He said I always will have the key to his heart, and gave me a letter of excuses how everything was a problem with him and my mom. And now thinking that you wrote me a letter of good-bye and gave me a ring, I would have given it the same reaction I gave my dad's..put the ring in my jewlary box and never wear it and throw the letter away. So maybe Mona did me a favor." I pushed my leg back and forth on the swing and avoided eye contact, the tension between us was growing extremely thick by the minutes. "Hanna." He walks over and kneels down next to me and puts his hands on my knees. "Look at me please." Caleb puts his index finger to my chin and lifts it to meet his eyes. "I never ever wanted to hurt you. And it pained me inside, everyday that I had to just leave you a letter. I had much more to say to you in person." I squinted my eyes at him and said coldly, "Like what." He took a breath, "That I fell for everything about you, the way your eyes light up when you smile, the way you bit your lip when you really want to admit something but second guess it because of the moment. The fact that you never try to let anyone see you cry, and when you do you're much stronger then you think. And the fact that you pretend to be guarded around me but you know that I am much better at it then you and it pisses you off." I started to smile slightly. "I also am in love with how witty you are, your killer body that every girl dreams about having. I love everything about you Hanna. And if there's something I don't know about you, or haven't found I can asure you tomorrow I will be in love with it. But if you need me to list off everything I love about you just to win you back I will. Because Hanna Marin I am in love you with and never ever wanted to set out to hurt you. If anything I am greatful I set up to do this because I finally got to meet you. And see a side of you not many did." I had tears forming in my eyes. He whipped them away for me with both hands on the sides of my cheeks.
He pushes me on the swing lightly. "So I guess the question I have for you is, do you still love me or love me at all?" He grips the chains of the swing and brings it to a stop and I feel his warm body pressed against my cold one. "I don't know Caleb." I get up and start to walk back to the picnic table. He runs up and spins me to face him. "Please Hanna I will do anything to have you back in my life again, it was bad enough without you once. I don't want to have to do it again." I couldn't hold it in anymore. I stretched up on my toes and pulled his face and brought his lips over mine, I swear sparks were going everywhere! He brings his arms around my waste and I put mine around his neck. I feel him lift me off the ground slightly and I giggle in the kiss, I can feel him smile. When we come up for air I lean my forehead against his. "I love you so much Hanna. I think I always will." My heart was beating out of my chest, I had to say something from everything he's said tonight. I look into his eyes and I know he is speaking from the heart, because when Sean said those words I felt nothing. "I love you too." He deeply kissed me this time and I didn't want it too but I had to pull away one last time before he carried me off to my car, "If you ever do that to me again, I will kick your ass Caleb Rivers. That you can count on." He laughed and we kissed more, he lifted me like we just got married and was going to walk me across the threshold off to my car, but he opened the back seat and the night is one I will never forget.
Remember we used to laugh and say no one ever understood our way?
And there were times you would cry and came knocking on my door.
And I was there to shelter your pain.
I think baby you should get that off your mind.
Make it seem like a brighter day.
I may not say those words anymore, but maybe I can make it my way.
You ask me do I love you but,
Do you remember why I walked on water for you?
Do you remember my first steps on the moon?
Have you ever wondered why I gave three wishes to you?
You ask the question but the answer lies in you.
The answer girl?
Lies within your heart.
Take a look inside.
You ask me do I love you but,
Do you remember why I walked on water for you?
Do you remember my first steps on the moon?
Have you ever wondered why I gave three wishes to you?
You asked the question but the answer lies in you.
