-1Chapter 3-
Okay here is the next chapter. Please, don't forget to review for me.
"Caleb." Cornelia says starting to run after her boyfriend.
"Corny, calm down." Elyon says. "Like I said its probably nothing."
Cornelia looks back at her friend as if she is crazy.
"Did you see the way he was acting? He barely notice me. He probably wouldn't seen me if I haven't hug him."
"He is just worried for his friend." Elyon says with little hope of being right.
"I hope you are right. Lets go and see what is going on." Cornelia links her arm to the queen and the two friends walks towards the others.
--
Caleb places his hand on Hope's shoulder and gives it a small reassuring squeeze.
She looks over at him and relief washes over.
"Power down." she says.
Hope and the other guardians lying on the beds return to there normal clothing.
Cornelia walks in and sees the other guardian dress on normal clothes. Except her clothing was that of royalty. Making the two blonds stare at her open mouth.
"We need to keep them warm." Will is saying.
"At least they are breathing on there own." Irma says as she looks down at one of the girls worry written all over her face.
All over everybody's faces.
"What's going on?" Cornelia says walking over to Caleb and grabbing his hand. "Are they getting any better?"
Hope looks away and pulls away from Caleb's touch.
"I think there is still hope for them. We, well you guys, got them in time. Thank you." she says kneeling between two of the beds. "Its been a long day you guys should probably go home now. Tomorrow I'll tell you everything. Don't worry about."
Hope then turns to face everybody and gives them a grateful smile before turning back to her friend.
They look at her before turning there backs to them. When Cornelia reaches the door she turns around to see Caleb still standing there. She lets out an exasperated sigh before turning back and closing the door a little to hard.
Caleb turns and stares at the close door.
"Go to her." he hears a voice from behind him. "She needs you."
He turns to look at her but she wasn't looking at her.
"But what about you?" he says trying get close to her.
"I am safe here. We all are." she looks him in the eyes. "You don't have to worry. Go."
He looks at her sadly before walking out.
He finds Cornelia just about to walk through to go to Earth.
"Cornelia, pleace hold on." Caleb says running after her. "Cornelia."
He grabs her hand and turns her to face him.
"What do you want Caleb?" she says angry. "I am not in the mood to talk to you. I am pretty sure you don't want to talk to me either."
"Cornelia, you can't say that your jealous. Why would are you mad at me?" he says pacing in front of her.
"Ever since she has arrive you haven't paid no attention to me. Its like I am invisible to you. Hope, Hope, Hope." she says stomping her feet making a few twigs come out of the ground.
He turns to face her anger evident on his eyes. She has never seen that on him. It began to scare her.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow when you stop acting like a brat." he says and goes back to Meridian without another word.
"Did you see how he was looking at me?" she ask her friends that were afraid to move when the once rebel leader emerge from the tear. "I have never seen that in his eyes."
Will puts a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Corny." Irma says as the girls got close to there friends.
"He just went back to cool off." said Terrane.
"Nothing to worry about." Hay Lin says.
"I hope your right." Cornelia says.
"We should go home and get some rest." Will says. "I think tomorrow is going to be a long day."
The girls nod and go there separate ways.
--
After a few hours of walking around Meridian Caleb found himself back in the palace. He walks towards the room he last saw his childhood friend.
There he finds her still kneeling by her friends bed.
"How did it go?" he hears her soft voice.
"Can we talk outside?" he says.
She turns to face him and nods when she locks her eyes with his and gets up from her kneeling spot.
"Lets go to my room."
He follows her and she closes the door right behind him. She sits on the bed as he sits on the chair he was on the night before.
"So?" she says finally letting exhaustion take over her body by lying down by the edge. "What happened?"
"Are you okay?"
"Stop dancing around the problem Caleb." she turns her body to face him. "You wanted to talk so talk."
"I don't know. She was, I guess, jealous."
"Of what? Our friendship?" she ask with wide eyes.
"I guess." he shrugs. "She got me so mad. I just walk back here. It took me forever to cool down."
She reaches out for his hand.
"Everything works out at the end, Caleb. Remember, I have always told you that." he nods. "If its meant to be it will happen. Besides she must really like you."
"What makes you think that?"
"For her to be jealous. Why else?"
He looks at her. There is a strong feeling to kiss her at that moment.
"…but its not like there is anything for her to be jealous of." she was saying. "We are just friends."
Then it all change. His lips are upon hers and she couldn't move. It was like something none of them have ever felt before.
It was like magic. Then it all stop as she push him away and sat up.
"I have to go." she says leaving him there in his thoughts.
He had a lot to think about.
What to do? What to do?
As she closes the door to her friends room Hope leans her back to the door. She just can't believe what he just did.
This is trouble.
