Caleb's POV:
Hanna taking me back literally made me feel like I was the happiest man alive. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Make fun of me for being cheesy. But if you knew Hanna, you'd understand. This girl is perfect.
Were still sitting here, in the bathroom with a broken down door, just enjoying each others company.
It's going to be very hard to use the bathroom for the next few days, but it's definitely worth it. Hanna is worth everything and anything.
"C'mon, let's go have coffee, princess." I say with a smile. I can't help but smile. Hanna loves me. Maybe even as much as I love her. I watch as her cheeks turn a pinkish red, and smile wider. I love that I can make her blush.
I pick her up bridal style and carry her to the kitchen. She buries her face in my shirt and my smile expands once again.
I set her down on the kitchen chair and walk to my fridge, taking out all the ingridient needed to make pancakes. I always have everything for pancakes ready in my fridge since that's Hanna's favourite breakfast, and practically the only food I can force into her.
I start making pancakes, peacefully humming a melody and smiling like a fool, when Hanna's angelic voice breaks me out of my thoughts. "I thought we were having coffee?" She teases.
"Yeah, but I know how much you love pancakes." I say with a smile. I really hope it won't be difficult to get her to eat today, but I'll do it no matter how difficult it is. Hanna needs to eat, so I'm keeping her healthy. It's difficult with her eating disorder, but I manage.
"Caleb, you know I don't eat breakfast." She whines. Here it goes...
"Hanna, when you're at my apartment, you are eating. I am keeping you healthy." I say honestly. She gives me a look that can easily be translated to 'I don't need to be healthy, I need to be skinny'.
"Ca-leb!" She drags out my name in a whining manner.
"Han, please. For me." I beg. She looks down and seems to ponder the idea. Then, she gets an I-have-an-idea look on her face and looks up.
"Okay. But only for you." She winks. I have no idea what she's thinking but Hanna Marin does not give in this easily. Nonetheless, I play along.
"Great." I say as I finish making pancakes and put them out on two plates. We sit down and I am about to dig in, when I look at Hanna's plate; full.
"Han." I say, gesturing to the plate. She gives me a look but takes a bite anyways. A tiny bite. And then pushes her plate away.
"I'm full." She announces.
"Hanna." I warn. She seriously needs to eat. I can't have her go back to that time again. She's skinny and she's beautiful. And she needs to understand that.
"Yes?" She asks ever so innocently. It takes all that's in me not to just kiss her right then and there, because then I'll forget about breakfast and she certainly won't remind me. I wonder briefly what it would take to rid Hanna of this disorder for good, before quickly pushing the thought away. One obstacle at a time.
"You need to eat." I say and she shakes her head no. I pull her onto my lap and pick up her fork. "Then I'll have to feed you." She rolls her eyes but nonetheless opens her mouth when I bring the fork to her mouth again. Mission complete.

After we finish breakfast, we just go sit on the couch and cuddle. Just cuddle. After a few minutes, I look down to see a smiling, sleeping Hanna. I smile and pick her up, carrying her to my bed. I put her down and almost instantly her arm goes out to reach for my hand, even though she's still asleep.
"Don't leave me," she whispers in her sleep and I smile slightly, although my heart throbs for the fact that I have, in the past, left Hanna. I mean, I didn't leave her, but I betrayed her. And that's even worse.
"I'll be back in a minute, Han." I whisper in her ear and she seems to understand, as her grip on my hand loosens to the point where I can wriggle out of it.
I walk to the kitchen and start typing a number into my phone.
"Hey, Toby?" I ask.
"Yeah?"
"We need to talk. It's about Hanna and Spencer." I say quietly, so as not to wake Hanna.
"Talk away."
•••
I don't like lying to Hanna, but this is worth it... right?
I mean, I almost lost her last time because I lied to her. But this is completely different.
I just hope she doesn't start to hate me before the time comes when I have to tell her. After a few minutes of talking to Toby Cavanaugh, my best friend and Hanna's best friend's (Spencer) boyfriend, I end the call shortly after saying,
"Don't tell Spencer and I won't tell Hanna. See you soon."
"See you, bro." he says and we both hang up.
I walk back to Hanna, to find her curled up in a ball, a peaceful slumber layed upon her. I briefly wonder if she can sense that I had come into the room, as a slight smile appeared on her face almost instantly.
I lay down beside her and she automatically lays her head down on my chest, causing me to smile. I take a moment to appreciate just how beautiful she is, no matter what she thinks or what she says. Hanna is beautiful. Whether she's wearing a thousand dollar dress, or my t-shirt, make up or no make up, Hanna is beautiful.
"Don't leave me again." She murmurs in her sleep and I smile even wider.
"Never in a million years." I say softly. Hanna cuddles deeper into my chest and my arm goes around her. We fall asleep momentarily, smiles on both of our faces. The only difference is, Hanna's is a peaceful smile. Mine is a guilty one.

Author's Note:
What is Caleb hiding from Hanna?
I'm adding some Spoby mentions (and possibly slight actual Spoby) in the next couple chapters, but it's still going to be mainly Haleb. Hope that's alright with you guys.
So yes, I know, totally shitty chapter. It was kinda a filler. A bit of fluff, a bit about her disorder, and at the end kind of a filler with what Caleb is hiding. But, if it's any help, there is a LOT of drama in the next chapter. Like, a lot-a lot. So with that being said, please review!
& You guys are totally amazing! 19 reviews? You guys are perff
What do you think about Caleb coming back in season 5? I'm SO happy!
Love y'all
