Caleb's POV
He gathered his few things stuffing them inside his bag. He had, had enough he needed to get out of this house! He didn't know where he would stay, he didn't care as long as it wasn't here. He crept out the house hoping to avoid any remarks from Janet. The small town was quiet, no one was out, it was just him. Like always he was alone.
He grabbed his phone as it began to buzz "Hello?"
Her voice sent a chill throughout his body. He knew what he expected from him, but she knew it was wrong. He listened to her instructions occasionally answering with "yes, I understand"
"I'll talk to her today" he said hanging up the phone
He hated himself, how could he do this! How could he turn on Hanna, just for money? "She doesn't like you get over it!" he thought to himself
He found himself in front of the grille, facing the window he saw her face. He felt his heart stop, the air escaped his lungs and his smile was glued to his face. She looked back at him giving him the same look.
She was sitting alone. 'Waiting for Sean' he thought 'do it.' He convinced himself
His legs moved without him realizing, he pulled out a chair and slowly fell into it. He watched her perfectly sip her coffee. 'NO!' He couldn't think of her that way anymore, it was too painful.
"Where you going?" she asked glancing at his bag
"Nowhere,"
She smiled "Don't lie. I can tell that you have clothes in your bag"
"I honestly don't know yet, my home life, is sucky. So anywhere but there" Hanna looked deeper into his eyes beckoning him to share more "my foster parents, don't really care where I am. It's just a matter of finding somewhere to stay"
Before he knew it she grabbed his hand and gave him a smile. "There's a couch in my basement. You can crash there till you find something better"
She got to her feet and headed towards the door, leaving him sitting by himself wondering if it was going to work. Could he really stay at her house? Could he keep his lingering feelings for her in check? 'I'm over it' he lied to himself 'I'm over it' he lied to himself. He needed to stay there not for her but for himself. He was moving on and he was finally ready to move on.
He ran after her finding her right outside waiting.
"I thought you'd come, so is that a yes?" Hanna asked
He couldn't help but laugh "Yea. Thank you"
She smiled as she began to leave "No problem Shaggy" she called out when she rounded the corner
He was in, he could find the key then he could leave. He could start a new life in Arizona, a new life away from Janet, and away from Hanna.
