Chapter two: Ravenswood

CALEB

After a long drive, I reach Ravenswood. I see Remy, Olivia and Luke sat outside our favourite café. They run to me, and I hug them. "Caleb, we thought you were staying in Rosewood… for good!" I look at them and sigh. "I was, but with Miranda following me, I just couldn't!"

"What about Hanna?" Olivia asks.

"We broke up," I tell them all quietly.

"So you told her about Miranda?" Remy says.

"No, no I didn't…"

"Caleb… she probably thinks you and Miranda are you know… together!" Luke says.

"Yes, I am aware of that, but it had to be done because I love her way to much for her to get hurt here!" I tell them. They all nod, and I pull up a chair to the table. "Anything bad happen whilst I was gone?" They shuffle around in their seats, "Caleb, Mrs Grunwald… well she passed away!" My mouth drops open. Yes she could be annoying, but she was like a second mother to me. She helped Hanna and the others find Alison. "Wait, so now Carla's dead… the promises?"

"They've been broken!"

"So I can go back, to Rosewood, to Hanna… for good?"

"You could… or you could stay for a while?" Miranda says. "Miranda, please stop following me. I can't deal with it… you have ruined my relationship." I tell her bluntly. "I'm sorry guys, but it's a long drive back to Rosewood. I'll see you all later!"

"Bye Caleb!" they shout, before passing my coffee through my car window, before I drive back to my home.

IN THE CAR

"Caleb, you can't leave Ravenswood!" I hear Miranda say. "No, Miranda… you can't, I can!" I tell her in a low voice. "Caleb, don't do this!" That reminds me of Hanna, the night we broke up. "No Miranda, I can… and I will. Now get out of my car!" I yell. "NO!" she yells back. Then everything happens so fast, a car pulls over from the other side of the road, and runs me off it.

The car's falling, and tumbling but all I can think is 'you have to get back to Hanna'. I hear a splash, and realise I've ended up in a river. I can't undo my seatbelt… it's stuck. The car's sinking, faster and faster. My phone buzzes, and I pull it out of my pocket. Miss me Caleb? I should hope not, hope you don't die in that river. Get it, Caleb Rivers. Gosh that's unfortunate –A

God the prick. Water is coming through the side of the car, and I know that I'm to die right here right now. So I close my eyes, and think about Hanna… of what we could've been. My life is slowly slipping away, the deeper the dream, the closer I am to death…

ARIA

Ezra and I are driving back from a house viewing. As we join the queue, I see there's been a crash. SO me being nosy, I stick my head out the window to look. And I see a car… a very familiar car, floating in the river. "EZRA STOP!" I yell at him. He jumps, and pulls over where the police cars are. I run after him, carefully making my way down the unmarked path. ""Ezra, is it Caleb?" I ask him quietly. Then I reach him and see for myself. There floats a lifeless Caleb Rivers. My phone bleeps. Whoops, my bad –A.

Before I can stop him, Ezra's already taken his shoes, socks and shirt off. "Ezra?" I shout to him. He looks back, "we have to save him Aria, and Hanna will be distraught if he dies!" And then before I know it he's in the river, swimming to the car. I see him grab Caleb, but all I can think of right now is why on earth he was driving back, he had to stay in Ravenswood! I get out my and call Hanna.

"Hello?"

"Han…"

"What Ari?"

"It's Caleb!"

"What about Caleb?"

"It looks like he was coming back, for you. And A ran him off the road… into a river. Han, I don't know if he'll make it. Ezra's gone to pull him out of the car, but he looks lifeless…"

Silence, that's not a good sign. "Aria, is there an ambulance?"

"It's on the way, Hanna. The police called for one as soon as they arrived!"

"Ari, if he dies…"

"Han hush, think positive okay!"

"Okay, I will!"

"I think the ambulance is here, yes there it is. Han I have to go!"

"Can I meet you there?"

"Of course you can Hanna!"

"Okay, see you there!"

HANNA

Tears are falling down my face, and I rush to get my bag packed. Phone, headphones, book… Caleb's note. I take that everywhere with me. I pull on my favourite jeans, and a tank top. On goes Caleb's hoodie, and then I'm about to leave when my mom stops me. "Hanna, where are you going?"

"The hospital mom!"

"Why?"

"Caleb was taken there, he had a car accident. He was coming back for me!"

"I told you he wouldn't be long. He loves you baby! Now go see your man!"

"Okay, bye mom!"

"Bye!"

AT THE HOSPITAL

I rush to the front desk. "Has Caleb Rivers been admitted yet?" I ask the receptionist. "Last time I checked hun, he was in room 223." I shout "thank you" before running up the flight of stairs leading to rooms 200-275. 220, 221, 222, 223. Here it is.

I give a slight knock. Nothing. I can't wait any longer. I slowly open the door, and see Aria and Ezra standing over my baby. "CALEB!" I scream, rushing to him. "Who is this?" asks a doctor. Aria holds me close. "This is his girlfriend, Hanna Marin." Ezra says. "Well Hanna, it seems Caleb here is very lucky. I wipe away my tears. "What?"

"We've found a heartbeat, now all he needs to do is wake up from his coma!"

"C…coma?" I stutter.

"I'm afraid so, but for right now be happy we found a heartbeat. If it wasn't for Mr Fitz here, he'd be long gone!"

I turn to face Ezra. "Thank you, Ezra!" I whisper, tears streaming down my face. "Aw Han, it's okay. Caleb survived a gunshot, I think he'll survive this!" Is mile at him, and Aria loosens her grip. The doctor leaves, and I pull up a chair. "Caleb, it's me. I know you left, and we broke up. But I love you still, and I always have!" I tell him. I take his hand, and squeeze it hoping he'd squeeze it back. But it was all loose and floppy. "Oh Caleb!" I say, sighing. I kiss his forehead, and sit back in the chair…

"I'm not going anywhere!"
