I Want You Back:

Hey guys thank you for the review's you've sent me and I'm sorry for making Peter so aggressive but I never really liked him so that's him in chapter 5. Anyway this is chapter 6 and I hope that you like it. Oh and by the way, sorry for the late update but I went to the beach yesterday and I came back really tiered and really sunburned hehe. So here it is.

Chapter 6: Secret (The Veronicas)

Cornelia awoke the next morning at 9.30am. She didn't have to go to work today because her boss had given her the weekend off. She stretched happily to the thought of having a day to herself. She sat up and noticed that Caleb was still sound asleep in her bed. 'He's so cute when he's asleep. Well he's always cute' she thought to herself with a smile, she leaned in and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. He grinned and turned to his side. Cornelia then got up to change in a pair of white shorts. She decided to let Caleb sleep a little longer since he was injured and all. She then went in the kitchen to find Lillian eating her cereal. Her parents weren't home because they went to the supermarket. She rarely saw her parents because of their work. Her mother worked as a nurse at the Heatherfield Hospital where she went to work early in the morning and came back home late in the afternoon, on the other hand her father worked as a lawyer. He was always in and out of court with some case on his hands but he always managed to balance his work and personal life. Cornelia learned to deal with it and when she and Lillian were home alone, she took care of everything herself. She only did that because she was the oldest and because she didn't like her mother to cook and clean herself after a hard day at work.

"Good morning." said Cornelia as she took out a bowl from the cupboard as so she could take her cereal.

"Since when do you talk to me in the morning?" asked Lillian with a mouthful of cornflakes. Cornelia and Lillian didn't actually speak because they usually fought over who took who's lip gloss or over why Lillian took Cornelia's jeans without asking, or vise versa. And the only time they talked was on special occasions as so they could look civilized in front their friends and relatives.

"First of all don't talk with your mouthful and second…" she paused as she poured the milk, "… can't I just say good morning to you anymore?" she asked as she pretended to be hurt.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll believe that crap, when monkeys fly out of my butt." said Lillian as she looked at her sister. Since Cornelia left Peter, she really looked happier. "What's up with you anyway?" said Lillian as she put her empty bowl in the sink.

"What do you mean? I've always been like this." Replied Cornelia. She continued to eat her cereal. Lillian didn't believe what her sister was saying so she crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Ok I'll tell you. Well yesterday I went out with Caleb." Lillian just looked at her in utter confusion. Who is this 'Caleb' she is talking about? Thought Lillian. "You know, Caleb? The guy I've told you about the past few months?"

"Oh yeah, him. Where is he now?" asked Lillian. At that moment Caleb came from behind her rubbing his sore head. The pain had gone away but it still hurt a little.

"Behind you." Cornelia said as she pointed behind Lillian and ate another spoonful of cereal. "I haven't slept that good in months." said Caleb as he yawned and stretched with his eyes closed, Lillian turned around. He opened his eyes to find a girl looking at him in complete shock.

"And here I thought you wanted to wait?" said Lillian as she looked at her sister with a mischievous grin.

"Why does everyone keep saying that?" said Cornelia, half to herself. "He only slept here because he wasn't in good shape to go back home after the fight he got in. And besides, he couldn't go home because he was just visiting from California." she lied, but half of it was true.

"Sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night." Said plainly Lillian. She stared at Caleb. He did look a bit familiar but she just shrugged the feeling off.

"Hey, is this little Lillian?" he asked Cornelia.

"Yeah, but she's not so little now." she laughed at her own joke.

"It's nice to meet you. I remember when you were still running around with that doll." Said Caleb as he tried to remember the doll's name, "Shelly somethin'." he tried to jog his memory.

"Shelly Kelly. I forgot about her." Said Cornelia. She imagined Lillian still playing with that doll. It was in good condition before Cornelia threw it out of the window. Cornelia, Lillian and their parents where driving to the Fall Fair and it was a really beautiful day. Cornelia had just broken up with Caleb and Lillian was nagging her as usual. She wanted her older sister to play with her but Cornelia wasn't interested, so after a while of Lillian putting the doll in her face, Cornelia chugged the doll out of the moving car. Lillian didn't talk to her for a week.

"So, what are you gonna do today, Cornelia?" asked Lillian trying to drop the subject about the old doll. Caleb sat at the table next to Cornelia.

"Well, I'm just gonna go skateboarding with the gang. Why, you wanna come?" asked Cornelia as she got up to put her bowl in the sink. She guessed that Caleb was probably hungry because he had only eaten some ice-cream the night before, so she got a bowl poured him some cereal and milk.

"No, just curious." replied her sister, "Well I'm gonna go do my homework. Bye."

"Bye. She's not so bad." Said Caleb.

"Oh, puh-lease. She's the most irritating little sister that walked on the face of this earth." Said Cornelia.

"Yeah, well same to you, biatch." Said Lillian. She walked back in the kitchen holding what looked like all the books she owned and she dropped them on the table.

"I know I am." Said Cornelia, "It takes years of training, but I'm proud of it." Joked Cornelia as she watched her sister laugh a bit behind her math text book.

"Are you guys always like this?" asked Caleb as he played a bit with his cereal. He really wanted to know what these things were floating around in his bowl.

"Well, only on weekends." Said Lillian as she frowned at the strangest algebra equation she ever saw. Cornelia saw that her sister needed help with her math homework, so she went to help her. Cornelia guided Lillian in the right direction until she finally got it.

"This is really good. What is it?" Asked Caleb as he ate more of the cereal.

"Umm… it's cornflakes." Said Cornelia. Caleb didn't say a thing but just kept eating. Cornelia sighed with relief because she was scarred that Caleb would say something about Meridian in Lillian's presence. When Caleb was finally full Cornelia went to get her skateboard from her room. She came back out, grabbed her Shoulder Flap and keys, and stepped outside. Caleb went with her because he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible and he was curios to see what this Skate Park was. They finally arrived at the Skate Park.

At the Skate Park:

Everywhere you looked skaters and grind pipes were all you saw. Caleb was amazed at how they all could do all those tricks with the skateboard without even falling. He saw one guy doing a perfect grind on a half pipe, complete with a perfect landing.

"Cornelia, how do you do all those things?" asked a bewildered Caleb.

"Well… I'll show you." Said Cornelia as she got on the skateboard. "You just put one foot on the board and push with the other." she did what she had just said and rode off. She came back saying, "Turning left and right is just as easy 'cause you just press your foot a bit to the left or right."

"Cool. Can I try it later?" asked Caleb as soon as Cornelia got of it.

"Sure. But lets find the others first." Cornelia said. Caleb agreed and so he kept moving. They found them sitting on a bench talking. There was Will, Irma, Taranee and Hay Lin. They apparently were exhausted because they didn't usually sit around.

"Hey, guys." Said Cornelia.

"Hey." Was all they said because they were too focused on their conversation to take any notice.

"Hey, guys." Said Caleb as he waved a little. They all stopped talking and looked up to see Caleb holding Cornelia's board. They all just stared in disbelief. All except for Irma because she saw him at Cornelia's house the day before.

"Is that Caleb?" asked Taranee. Taranee had grown a lot over the years just like Cornelia and the gang. She let her hair grow longer and she changed those wire-rimmed glasses into a modern type of glasses. She was now in law school so she could become a lawyer and full fill her dream. Irma was still the goofy Irma everyone knew and loved, but her hair was grown out a bit more and she had golden lights in it now, Will looked older and more mature and she was still in school because she wanted to become a vetinarian and Hay Lin was still the same but she was more artistic and creative.

"Of course it's Caleb. Don't you see the mini-sword he keeps in his boot?" asked Will as she looked at the mini-sword in his left boot. He always kept it with him in case there was some kind of fight. (Well not the kind of fight he got in with Peter lol)

"Oh, yeah. I see it." said Taranee as she noticed the mini-sword. "What are you doing here?" asked Taranee.

"Well, I came here to be with Cornelia. She gave me another chance." He smiled at her and she smiled back. "So now, we're back together, right?" he asked Cornelia.

"Yeah, we are." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Cornelia blushed a bit because all eyes were on her. "Well let's go skateboarding guys. Because it's getting boring over here." Said Cornelia trying to change the subject, "Plus, I promised Caleb I would show him how to skateboard. So come on." The others went to skateboard and goof of on the pipes and left Cornelia and Caleb alone.

Caleb followed her to a small area which, apparently was for beginners. Once they were there Cornelia took off her elbow and knee pads and put them on Caleb. She then took off her helmet and gave them to Caleb. He knew what to do so he put the helmet on. Cornelia showed him how to get on the skateboard one final time and let him try it. He wasn't that bad because he did what Cornelia told him. He put his right foot on the skateboard and he pushed him self with the other. He fell a couple of times but he got back up again and tried again. Once he moved correctly he said, "Hey, I'm doing it." When he finished the last word he looked at Cornelia and lost balance and went crashing into some trash bins. "I'm ok." He said, Cornelia still went running to him because he shouldn't even been skating in the first place. "Are you all right?" asked Cornelia as she helped him up. She totally forgot about her skateboard and just left it there.

"That was fun. Let's do it again." He said with a smirk which made Cornelia totally crack up laughing. He looked like a five year old child waiting for a yes and no. Just at that moment Caleb saw something lurking in the shadows. He took his helmet of so that he could see better. Just then he saw Peter walk out of the alley that was just behind them. His blood started to boil at the sight of him because he knew that he came to either make fun of him or to ask Cornelia to take him back. Why can't he just take hint tat he isn't wanted? He thought.

"Well if it isn't the two love birds." Said Peter with a smirk. Cornelia got up to talk to him. "You do make a cute couple. But you would be better off with me Cornelia. Come with me."

"Listen Peter. I don't love you anymore." She said in his face, "And you wanna know a secret? I never loved you. I only hooked up with you so that I could say that I have a boyfriend." She spat. It mighty be harsh but it really was the truth.

"Is… is that true?" he said. He was hurt. How could the woman he loved do this to him? He really and truly loved her.

"Yeah, every word of it." She said. I know it's harsh but it was and is the truth. She thought trying to convince herself that he wasn't really worth all the tears she cried over him.

"O… ok. But please give me one last chance. I promise you I will change." He said. He was practically begging her, which he never did. He never begged for anything but he would do anything for Cornelia, anything.

"That's what you said a year ago." She looked at him. He looked as if he would burst into tears right in front of her. "No I won't give you another chance. You blew your last chance months ago. So goodbye, Peter. I hope that you really change, for the sake of your future wife. Because I know that won't be me." She turned her back to him and walked to where Caleb was. All this time he just sat there and stared at them. Trying to make sense of what was going to happen. "C'mon, Caleb let's go." She grabbed her skateboard and helmet, and went to where her friends were.

"I promise, Cornelia I will make you mine. One way or another you will be mine." He said under his breath as he watched Cornelia walk away with that loser.

With her Friends:

She made her way to her friends with Caleb by her side. "Cornelia, how long where you with him?" he asked. It pained him to see her with anyone else but she had her own life to live.

"Two years." She said "And I'm sorry to say that I wasted two years of my life with him." He looked at her and saw that she was a bit sad. She looked up at him and he gave her a reassuring smile. She gave a weak smile. "Don't worry he won't hurt you. I'll make sure of that." He said as he gave her a kiss on her cheek. "And thanks for teaching me how to skateboard but…" he took off his elbow and knee pads and gave them to her, "… I'll stick with walking thank you." She laughed a bit and held his hand. "Heh-heh. You weren't that bad at it."

"Oh come on. I fell like a dozen times, plus I crashed into those trash bins." He said with a chuckle. Cornelia laughed as hard as she could as she remembered how Caleb's face was when he fell. They finally found the gang and sat next to them.

"What's so funny?" asked Hay Lin as she took of her helmet.

"Caleb." Said Cornelia as she sat next to Will. "He fell like a dozen times and then he crashed into the trash bins." Said Cornelia with a laugh.

"Well, it isn't my fault my teacher sucks." He Joked. They all laughed including Cornelia.

"Ha–ha, very funny." Said Cornelia with a smirk. Caleb sat next to her and grabbed her hand, she gladly took it.

"So guys, you got any plans for tomorrow?" asked Will.

"Well… we didn't actually think of it." Said Caleb as he looked at Cornelia.

"Well, why don't you come with me and Matt tomorrow afternoon? We're going to see a movie." Said Will.

"Sure, you wanna go Caleb?" said Cornelia.

"Yeah, sure." He said.

"Meet us in front of the Superplex at 6.00pm." said Will as she got up. "Well, I gotta go. I got a date with Matt and I don't want to be late." She said as she picked up her skateboard and helmet and started walking towards her house.

"Hey, Will we can give you a ride if you want. We were going anyway." Yelled Cornelia as she got up followed by Caleb. "Bye, guys. See you." She waved goodbye to Irma, Hay Lin and Taranee.

"Bye." they all said.

They gave Will a ride home and then drove to Cornelia's house. When they arrived Cornelia parked her car in the garage and got out. They then walked to the elevator and hit the fourth floor to her apartment. Once they were there Cornelia opened the door for Caleb and stepped in.

"Well I'm gonna go take a shower so I could relax a bit. You wanna take a shower before me?" she asked as she hung her car keys and dropped her bag on the floor.

"No, you go ahead. I'm just gonna go watch something on the big black box." Said Caleb as he stared at the TV.

"You mean the TV. Come on I'll turn it on for you." She walked over to the living room and showed him how to work the remote. After she did that she went to her room, got her clothes and walked to the bathroom. Once she was in there she turned on the radio. She heard a song she loved so she turned it full on. Then she took of her clothes and stepped in the shower while singing 'Secret' by The Veronicas.

"This is for you, Peter." She turned on the water and started singing.

'Secret' by The Veronicas:

You're a little obsessed with me
And I'm a little bit scared of you
The way you look and stare at me
Maybe it's time I let you know

You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay

Every time you come around
You just look me up and down
And then you try to hold my hand
I'm confused now I don't understand

You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay

You told me lies
You made me believe
It would be fine
If there was nothing to see
I'd be undressing in front of you
I told you secrets that no one else knew

You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay

Cornelia had a pretty nice voice but only she knew that because she was too shy to sing in front of anyone else, except for herself. Once the song ended she dried herself and got dressed. She then went to the living room to find Caleb watching Barney with Napoleon. Napoleon sat next to Caleb and gave himself a quick bath before dozing off.

"How can that dinosaur still be alive? I thought dinosaurs were extinct." He said looking puzzled.

"Well, that's because he's not a real dinosaur. He's just a guy in a suit." Smiled Cornelia as she sat next to him.

"Oh, that makes sense." Said Caleb as he changed the channel.

"You can go take a bath if you want. Trust me, you need it." She teased. He laughed at her joke and got up, "Well you certainly needed it. I could've smelled you a mile away." He joked, Cornelia stuck out her tongue playfully. He then went to Cornelia's room to get his clothes and then went to the bathroom and stepped in it. Once Caleb was washed and dried he got dressed and then went to the living room to find Cornelia.

"I was thinking maybe we'd watch a DVD since none of us are tiered." Said Cornelia as she opened her DVD cabinet. She had all sorts of films; action, thriller, romantic-comedy but her favourite type was romantic comedies. She put 'A Cinderella Story' inside the DVD Player and pressed play. They watched the movie until Cornelia was fast asleep on Caleb's arm. Caleb then lifted her up bridal style and put her in her bed. He tucked her in and gave her a kiss on her cheek. He was tiered himself so he decided to sleep as well.
