Feeling annoyed and angry, Hanna walked through the halls of Rosewood High. Some of the students greeted her but she really doesn't have time to fake smile and greet back. She went straight to her locker and spotted her three best friends waiting for her.
"Hey, Han." they greeted in unison.
"Hi." she simply responded not bothering to look at them and smile.
She opened her locker to put some of her stuff. "What's with you?" Spencer asked curiously.
"Nothing." Hanna said.
"Is this still about Caleb?" Aria asked.
"Can we not talk about him?" Hanna snapped.
"Han, you should know that we will always be here for you. We are free to listen. We're not forcing you but anytime you're ready we will just be here." Emily said.
"He's here." Hanna blurted out.
"Who? Caleb?" Aria asked.
"Yes." Hanna said.
"Why is he here?" Spencer asked.
"I don't know but he wants to talk." Hanna said.
"What did you say?" Emily said.
"I said I need to get to class and we started to argue." Hanna said.
"Wait, what did you guys argue about?" Spencer asked.
"He accused me that I started to slut up with Travis knowing we just got broken up for 3 days." Hanna said.
"Why Travis?" Aria asked.
"Maybe he saw me got out of Travis's truck." Hanna said.
"He's jealous." Spencer said.
"Why can he be jealous? He move on first, remember. He left me for that girl." Hanna said.
"We don't know that but maybe him being with that girl you are talking about is not true and you just assumed it." Emily said.
"If not because of her, what would you think is the reason he left town? Huh?" Hanna said.
"You'll know if you talk to him." Spencer said.
"I don't want to. I'm pretty pissed to talk to him." Hanna said.
Her friends are about to encourage her again to talk to Caleb, when they heard the bell rang signalling that first period is about to begin. Hanna closed her locker shut and walked with the girls to Mr. Fitz class.
Caleb leaning in his jeep, thinking about his earlier conversation with Hanna. He really wanted to smack himself for doing such a wrong move arguing with her. If Hanna was angry with him when he left maybe she had gotten much angrier with him now. He stepped in his jeep and looked for a piece of paper and pen from his dashboard compartment of his jeep. When he found the pen and paper, he wrote a message for Hanna and hopped out of his jeep.
He headed to the school entrance and walked through the halls to her locker. He folded the piece of paper neatly and dropped it through the hole of her locker. He walk back again through the halls to went back in his car when he ran into someone.
"Caleb." Travis said surprised.
"Travis." Caleb awkwardly said, annoyance evident in his features.
"Why are you here? I thought you're moving to Ravenswood?" Travis asked.
"I just wanted to see Hanna and talk to her but unfortunately, it seems like she doesn't want to because she's seeing you now." Caleb said sarcastically.
"Dude, as much as I wanted us to be together we're just friends. I guess she still loves you and she's still broken with what happen to you guys." Travis said.
Caleb was taken aback of what he said.
"I should get to class. It's nice to see you and Good Luck with Hanna." Travis said before walking away.
Caleb just remained standing there. He realized that he was really wrong and Hanna might be really pissed with him right now.
Mr. Fitz continued to discuss in front of the class but Hanna can't really pay attention to it. She just continued to play with the pen lying in her desk in front of her. She was thinking of her earlier conversation with Caleb and with the girls. She wonders why he would be back in town just to talk to her. Then, she remembered what Spencer said.
You'll know if you talk to him.
After few minutes, the bell rang signalling that first period is over. She collect her things and sprinted out of the classroom. She went to her locker to put her things away and get her things for the next class. She became nervous when a piece of paper fall out of her locker when she open it, thinking it might be from A.
She picked up the paper and unfolded it. She immediately recognized the messy hand writing. She felt relieved that it wasn't A.
I'm sorry about this morning. I just really wanted to talk to you. I wanted to tell you what's really going on if you let me of course. Meet me at the swings after school. I'll be waiting.
-Caleb
After reading it, she fold it back and put it inside her purse. She arranged her things in her locker and shut it closed and proceeded to her next class.
Caleb sat on the booth him and Hanna usually sat on at The Brew. He was sipping his coffee while tapping his fingers on the table. He was really glad to know that Hanna is not dating anyone. He felt relieved that she's not over him yet. Just the thought of her moving on with another guy really makes him want to smack himself for leaving her. He doesn't want to waste this time and opportunity for him to clear things with her and to make her feel loved and to tell her that he still loves her even he really needs to go back to Ravenswood to help the others break the curse.
He glanced at his blinking phone and noticed that he had 50 missed calls. He picked up his phone and click through it. Those calls are all from Remy, Olivia and Luke. He really doesn't want to ignore them but he just really wanted to forget about the stupid curse even just for a day and Hanna is much more important than anything else.
He turns off his phone and put it in his pocket. He downed his cup of coffee and stand up from his seat heading out of the coffee shop. He walked back to his car and just wandered around town to kill time while waiting for Hanna's classes to be over. He's not sure if she's coming or not but he's really hoping that she will.
Hanna sat on the usual table she usually sat on with the girls. All her three best friends are already sitting there.
"What's up, Han?" Spencer said.
"What's wrong with you? It seems like a smile never crossed your face the whole day." Emily said.
"How can you smile when your ex-boyfriend started your day accusing you for slutting up? Even he's the first one to slut up." Hanna said with annoyance evident in her voice.
"We don't know that for sure. Maybe it's not what really happened." Aria said.
"I got a note in my locker a while ago." Hanna said.
"Is it from A?" Spencer automatically asked.
"No, from Caleb. He wants to meet me at our spot to talk." Hanna said.
"You should go." Emily said.
"Everything that is bothering you will be answered if you talk to him so you should go." Spencer said.
"Yeah, Han, Maybe this is what you two needed to clear things up with the both of you." Aria said.
"I don't know." Hanna said moving her head from side to side.
"Maybe this is what you needed to move on and start over again." Emily said.
Moving on and starting over again is the least thing she wanted to do. Given that Caleb left her for another girl is painful enough but she really doesn't know if she can really move on with her life without the love of her life. He was the best thing that ever happened in the eighteen years of her existence and just the thought of not having him in her life makes her really upset and saddened. There are a lot of forces before that drives them apart in the whole year that they've been together but they always find their way back and she really thinks it's pretty enough to believe that they are really meant for each other in spite of the obstacles and complication that comes their way. She might hate him, get mad at him and gets really pissed with him but her love for him is much stronger than her hating him. Maybe Aria was right, maybe talking to him is what she needed. She had to clear things with him once and for all.
Caleb sat on one of the swing in the playground near Rosewood Elementary. He was silently praying that Hanna will come and agree to talk to him. He really misses her so badly. He really doesn't know how to explain to her what's going on in Ravenswood but he just wants to assure her that she's the only one for him and he's not capable of cheating on her. After a long moment of silence, he heard a footstep from behind him. A sound of a footstep walking over dried leaves and wooden sticks from tree branches.
Caleb turned his head to see who is coming. His eyes lit up and smiled upon seeing her. It gives him hope somehow.
"You came." Caleb said standing up and face her.
"I'm just curious as to why you would drive all the way back here just to talk to me." Hanna said keeping a straight face but the truth is she really wanted to jump on his arms and a hug him.
"I got your voicemail last night." Caleb said.
"I meant what I said, A year with you is the best year of my life." Hanna said fighting back tears trying to escape her eyes.
"Yeah, I know that. Honestly, hearing your voice like that breaks me. I want to hug you, I want to comfort you and I want to assure you that I will always come back for you." Caleb said moving forward to be near her.
"Come back for me? How can you expect me to wait for you? You fail to tell me what happened and you left me for Miranda." Hanna said sarcastically looking into his eyes.
"I didn't leave you for Miranda. Do you really think that I am capable of cheating on you? Hanna, I love you so much and I can't imagine myself loving anyone or anything in the world as much as I love you." Caleb said sincerity evident in his voice and features.
"Then, why did you tell me that she needs you the day you left?" Hanna said with a mocking tone.
"I know it's really hard for you to understand and believe me but Miranda is dead and she communicates with me." Caleb said.
"Wait, how did she die? Is this about the grave that we saw with her face in it." Hanna said.
"Maybe, the reason that I told you that she needs me is because she wants me to help her rest in peace." Caleb said.
"How did she die?" Hanna asked.
"Car accident, I was with her with three other kids. She saw something on the road and she grabbed the wheel from Remy and we ended up sinking in the River." Caleb explained leaving the part that he was in a dangerous curse with Miranda. There's no way that he's going to tell Hanna about the curse, he might just put her in danger if he did.
"You've been in an accident and you didn't tell me. When did it happen?" Hanna said crossing her arms to her chest.
"I didn't tell you because I don't want you to worry. It happened the next day after you left us in Ravenswood. I didn't want to tell you because you asked me to look after her and I didn't fulfil the job." Caleb said.
Hanna become silent digesting everything that he had told her.
"Hanna, believe me I really do wanna be with you and it really sucks not to be near you. You are the best thing that ever happened in my life and I don't want to lose you but crap happens and we need to deal with it." Caleb said.
"I'm sorry for thinking that you were cheating on me with Miranda. I should've known better." Hanna said.
"It's okay. I'm sorry too if I jump into conclusion when I saw you got out of Travis's truck. I was really jealous and scared thinking that you already moved on." Caleb said.
"Caleb, I don't think I'm gonna moved on that easily. You are the best thing that ever happened to me too and no matter how much I hated you when you left I still love you much more than I hate you." Hanna said.
Caleb's eyes lit up and he smiled widely looking at Hanna. He walked to close the gap between them and slip his hand to her waist pulling her closer. It was the thing he wanted to do since he saw her earlier that day.
"I love you Hanna Marin." he said before leaning in to kiss her. Hanna automatically wrapped her arms around his neck. It started soft and slow and it becomes deeper and passionate. After a long moment of them just kissing, they pulled away both panting.
"Can you do me a favor?" Hanna asked.
"Anything." Caleb said.
"I know that you needed to go back to Ravenswood to help out Miranda but can you stay a bit longer. Stay with me a little longer." Hanna said looking into his eyes.
"I loved to, Princess." Caleb said hugging her much tighter kissing her temple.
Maybe if Hanna asked him to just stay with her and not go back to Ravenswood, he knows that he would willingly do it for her. After all, she's the most important than anything else but Hanna has a kind heart and that is one of the billion things he loved about her. She's willing to let go of him to help out other people in need. She's willing to sacrifice her own happiness just to help other people. He's really proud of her. He knows that he's going to leave soon and he'll not be able to be with her for a long time but as soon as he can be able to come home he'll find her and not let go of her anymore. He promised himself that when that time comes, he will do anything to keep them together forever.
Okay, that's it Hope you guys love it...
