--

Calleigh and Jake have been in Louisiana for a few months now, and Calleigh was cleaning up their apartment for her mother's visit when Jake strode through the door.

"Hey baby," Calleigh said, reaching to kiss him. He dodged out of the way, and she looked hurtfully at him. He showed her a plane ticket and she cocked her head, saying,

"Are we going somewhere else? Back to Miami?"

"No, Calleigh, I'm going to Montana."

"Oh. When do we leave?"

"Never. I'm going, not you too, Calleigh."

"Is it too dangerous or something?"

"No. I'm leaving you behind because we can't be together."

"Is this just because of rules or something? Screw the stupid rules!" Calleigh cried out, but Jake shook his head, saying,

"No. I don't love you anymore, Calleigh."

"But, but, we've been so happy, what happened? Was it me?"

"No, Calleigh, I just don't love you anymore, and I won't be dating someone I don't love."

"Is it another woman?" She asked, deadly-like, and he held up his hands, saying,

"Heck no! I know you and your family well enough to not cheat on you, otherwise I'd be risking my life."

"Then, what is it? What the heck is it?" She shouted, and Jake shrugged, saying,

"I dunno. I just don't love you anymore."

"Stop saying that!"

"It's true."

"Then go! Get out of here! I don't ever want to see you again!" Calleigh cried, clinging to the shambles of her pride and heart. Jake hesitated, but then she advanced towards him, yelling,

"Get. Out. Now! Leave me alone! If you don't love me then leave, already!"

"I'm gone." Jake muttered and left, slamming the door.

"Good!" Calleigh screamed, and collapsed on the floor, holding herself and sobbing.

She sits among the pieces, of broken glass and photographs

Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past

It struck without a warning, or did she just ignore the signs

In those dark clouds forming behind, her silver lines

Calleigh got up and grabbed all the pictures of Calleigh and Jake and threw them onto the floor, feeling like every time she heard glass shattering that it was her heart that was shattering as well. Finally, there was nothing else of Jake to break and she slumped onto the ground, looking at the pieces of broken glass and the ripped and torn photos of her and Jake. She was clutching the necklace Jake had given to her, kind of like a promise ring. She swallowed hard and let it slip through her fingers into the toilet, reluctantly releasing the last of what was her past with Jake. Her fingers found the handle and she pulled on it, watching Jake's promises and memories swirl down the toilet.

She kept thinking about how suddenly he had left her, it seemed that he had left her without a warning at all. Then, a horrifying thought struck her, that she just maybe had ignored the signs in Jake's actions. She had thought her and Jake's relationship had been like a cloud's silver lining. Now she saw it as a dark cloud, the silver lines forgotten in the darkness of the clouds. Tears dripped down her cheeks as she heard someone knocking at the door. With a small cry she realized that it was her mother, as she was supposed to come by. Calleigh squared her shoulders and wiped her tears away, walking to the door and opening it. Calleigh's mother took one look at her and then enveloped her in her arms, leading her inside and shutting the door. Calleigh clung to her mother, crying hard into her shoulder.

"Baby girl, what happened?" Calleigh's mother, Jane, said, looking around.

"Jake, Jake left me, Mom, he just left. He told me, he told me,"

"Told you what, sweetie?"

"That he didn't love me anymore!" She sobbed out, and Jane immediately pulled out her cell. She dialed someone and said,

"Duke, get the boys over to Calleigh's apartment. Jake left her, told her he didn't love her anymore. You want to come too fine, all right, bye."

"You didn't have to do that." Calleigh muttered, sitting up and wiping her tears away.

"Yeah, right." Jane snorted, saying, "Anyone who hurts my baby is gonna get hurt."

Just then, Calleigh's 3 brothers, Garth, the oldest, Charlie, the middle boy, and Chris, the youngest walked in, along with Duke. Garth immediately sat next to Calleigh, wrapping his arm around her. He was always so protective of her, as she was always the youngest. Chris sat on the other side of her, as he was always one of her best friends growing up, as Chris was only a few years older than her. Charlie sat in front of her, growling,

"Where is the SOB that did this to you?" Charlie was always teasing Calleigh, but he loved her a lot, despite of his actions.

"He, he left, said he was going to Montana." She muttered, and Charlie squeezed her hand, saying,

"Then that's where we're going. Coming, boys?"

"Yeah!" Chris said, jumping up.

"I'm staying." Garth said in his low voice. The other two didn't question it, no one ever questioned Garth. Calleigh looked up at him gratefully and said quietly to her other two brothers,

"Don't get hurt, you two." They snorted, squeezed her shoulders and kissed the top of her head before striding out, Duke and Jane following them, telling them what they could and couldn't do. For instance, they couldn't kill him. Duke and Jane didn't want their boys in jail.

And the door it slammed like thunder, and the tears they fall like rain

And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane

Oh she's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore

She's alive, but can she survive the storm

Garth held Calleigh quietly while she relived the whole thing in her mind, she jumped when she heard the door slam, and then she felt like a fool when she saw herself breaking down and letting the tears fall like rain from the sky. She heard Eric's warning about Jake, and then heard Horatio's warning, along with everyone else from the team. They had all warned her that Jake was no good, as had her brothers, except for Garth. He had always let them do what they wanted, but if he thought it was really bad he would quietly offer advice. Duke and Jane had looked worried when she had brought Jake home, but had said nothing, though Calleigh was sure that they had talked about it when they were alone. All of those warning swirled around in her mind, whirling through her thoughts like a freaking hurricane. Calleigh could feel herself shaking and found herself knowing that she was alive, but wondering if she could possibly survive the emotional storm that had started.
