Disclaimer: I do not own pretty little liars
Caleb was exiting the bus that took them from the base to the airport, tired and just wanting to get on the plane so he could sleep. But as he was making his way through security he noticed all the people on their cell phones. It didn't occur to him until then that there was probably service where they were. So he took it out and turned it on for the first time in weeks to find he had full bars. And that was the first moment he genuinely smiled in a long time. He immediately called Hanna knowing it was the middle of night there, but he had to give it a shot.
Every night that Caleb had been gone, Hanna slept with her phone under her pillow and the volume up high. She was not going to let herself miss his call if by some miracle it would come.
She stirred in her bed at the sound of it ringing, but being half asleep she wasn't realizing what it was. She moaned and mentally blocked out the noise that was disturbing her sleep and rolled over to the other side.
Caleb let it ring and ring until it went to voice mail. But he wasn't going to give up that easily. So he tired again, listening to the ringing all over again.
This time when Hanna heard the noise again, she became more awake and realized it was her phone. In an annoyed manner she reached under her pillow and looked at the screen while squinting because of how bright it was in the dark. In shock and disbelief, she stared at the screen the read 'xoCalebxo:) is calling'. She laid there for a moment holding her ringing phone in her hand trying to decide if she was dreaming or not. She just couldn't believe that he was actually calling after all this time. But there only one way to find out.
"Caleb?" She sleepily said into the phone while holding it tightly and being nervous about possibly talking to him for the first time.
He felt a sigh of relief when he finally heard her voice on the other end. "Yeah, it's me."
There was a moment of silence while Hanna soaked in what was happening. There was so much she wanted to say to him, but at the same time felt speechless. Most of the things she wanted to save until they were face to face and having a real conversation.
So she quietly asked, "When are you coming back? I miss you."
"I'm at an airport now, and my flight is twelve hours long. So... soon I guess."
"Wait what? You're coming back early?" She hesitantly asked while sitting up.
"Yeah. I can't wait to see you." He said while lifting up one of his bags onto the moving belt. "I'll call you when we are almost landed."
She rolled her eyes and quietly said, "Yeah I've heard that one before."
He sighed and said, "Hanna I'm sorry okay, I know I said I would but I couldn't call you. They wouldn't let us."
"Whatever, we'll talk about it later. Can I come pick you up?" She wanted to see him as soon as possible.
"My car is still at the airport but I would love it if you came anyway..."
"So would I, I'll be there."
There was a moment of silence before Caleb responded, "Okay, uh I have to go. We're boarding soon."
"Okay, I love you Caleb."
"I love you too. I'll see you soon."
"Promise you'll call back."
"Yeah I promise." And then he hung up, slipped his phone into his pocket and continued walking. He couldn't help but smile at the fact that they would be back together soon.
Hanna was sitting up in her bed in the dark processing what just happened. He's actually coming back, she kept telling herself. It's actually happening. That dream I kept having of me running into his arms at the airport is going to come true. There was no way she was falling back asleep now, she was way too excited. She spent the rest of the day doing anything that would make the time go by faster. And in her mind there was one word for that, shopping.
"I haven't been shopping in forever." Said Hanna to Amanda as she was holding up a shirt looking at it.
Amanda responded, "And how many times have I asked you to come with me and you said no?"
She mumbled, "I don't know, a lot."
"Exactly."
"I've been a little distracted lately, sorry." She set the shirt down and was looking at shoes.
"Distracted with yourself. I haven't seen you this happy in... a long time."
"I know I know, I feel like I can finally breath though. He's actually coming back."
"Yeah, because planes never crash." She sarcastically said.
Hanna glared at her with a serious look. "That's not funny."
"Whatever. So, are you still mad at him? Or..."
"I don't know, I mean I should be, shouldn't I?"
Amanda thought about it then replied, "Yeah, what he did wasn't okay, so..."
Hanna hesitantly said, "Yeah, you're right. I don't want to start a fight though."
"Look, whatever happens happens. All I know is that he needs to know what he did to you. And in my opinion you were like in a serious depression mode."
Hanna sighed, "I know."
They both continued to look through clothes. Everything from dresses to hoodies to sunglasses.
"I wish I had a boyfriend." Amanda jealously wined.
Hanna rolled her eyes at her, "Amanda, every guy you've ever been with you ended up cheating on."
"And you're telling me in the four years you and Caleb have been together you've never cheated on him?"
"No, I haven't. Why would I?"
"I don't know?"
"Exactly." Said Hanna in an annoyed manner.
"Are you going to tell him about that super hot guy that was all over you at that party?"
"Dominic? Nothing happened. So why should I bring it up, it will only start a fight."
"If nothing happened then what is there to fight about?" Asked Amanda.
"Believe me, Caleb will twist it all around and get all protective and jealous over it, and take his anger out by blaming it on me."
Amanda paused for a moment. "Are you sure nothing happened? You were pretty drunk, and out of it."
Hanna looked at her. "I'm positive. I would have remembered..." She continued to look at her friend trying to think back to everything that happened that night. And she was almost sure she remembered correctly. But now Amanda was making her second guess herself.
"Ugh why did you have to ask that?! I think I remember..." She nervously began.
"You think? Or you know?"
Hanna started breathing heavier, "I don't know!"
"Hey calm down, just forget I mentioned it. If something happened chances are you would have told me when we were leaving and I would remember. Or you would have remembered the morning after."
"The only thing we were doing that morning was puking."
Amanda lightly laughed, "True. But we are just going to forget this topic ever came up, and you are sticking with your first statement. Nothing happened. Okay?"
"Okay." Hanna weakly responded.
Hanna was walking back from the cafe on campus when she felt her phone vibrating. She stopped walking and dug around in her purse for it, knowing who it was. But her face still lit up when she read his name on the screen.
"Hi." She happily said.
He was sitting on the plane and had just woken up from a well needed nap. "Hey..." But he was then lost in thought of how much he just wanted to be with her already. He sleepily said, "Han I miss you so much."
She lightly laughed. "Is that why you called, because if it is I miss you more."
"Not a chance."
She smiled into the phone, "Fine. But where are you, are you close?"
He looked at his watch. "Oh um yeah, I'm like an hour away."
"Caleb..." She complained. "It's going to take me like an hour to get there, you should have given me more time." She immediately turned around and started walking towards her car.
"Sorry, I'll find a way to make it up to you later."
She laughed and said, "I'll be there don't worry." Even though she was the only worried one.
"Alright."
"So how was it?" She asked
"Um it was okay, kind of boring, but I guess any job would be..."
"You're not thinking about going back? Are you?"
He paused and thought about how to answer the question without lying. "No I'm not thinking about it."
"Good." She sighed in relief.
"Um okay, so I'll see you in a little bit."
"Yeah, bye." And she continued driving.
Hanna found the closest parking spot available and anxiously walked into the airport. When she got inside there were people everywhere busily moving around, not to mention it was huge. How will I ever find him she thought feeling hopeless. So she took out her phone and called him.
Caleb had finally collected all his bags when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He took it out and gladly answered it.
"Hey where are you?" He eagerly asked looking all around.
Hanna looked around to try and explain to him where she was. "Uh, I don't know, in the middle?"
"In the middle of what?"
"The building?" She answered.
He rolled his eyes at her sense of directions and stood up on a near by bench to try and see her. He searched the large crowd with his brown eyes looking for a certain blonde. After a brief moment, he spotted her from behind. And she looked just as perfect as usual. Wearing black riding boots, a white pea coat, dark skinny jeans, and her hair in flawless curls. Without taking his eyes off of her he slowly hung up his phone and starting quickly walking in her direction. But when he started getting closer she was still turned around, so he sneakily stepped up behind her.
Hanna was searching the crowd for him when she felt a pair of familiar arms slip around her waist and someone standing up against her from behind.
"Hey beautiful." He whispered and kissed her on the cheek.
"Caleb!" She happily screeched as she spun around in his arms and looked up at his smiling face. She instinctively reached up and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder as her tears soaked into his shirt collar. She couldn't explain in words how good it felt to be looking at him, and standing that close to him again.
"I love you." Caleb quietly said while tightened his arms around her, not wanting to ever let her go. It felt like a picture perfect moment.
After a moment, she loosened her grip around his neck to lean back to look at him. She sniffled and smiled at him. "You ruined it, I was supposed to run into your arms."
He gently wiped away her happy tears, then put his forehead against hers and said, "I think this is perfect."
"I think you're right." She smiled. He closed the inches of distance between their lips and slowly kissed her. She returned the kiss just as lovingly, feeling shivers going through her body and realizing how long it had been since she last kissed him.
She pulled awayand rested her forehead on his again. Then quietly said, "I love you.
He smiled and said, "I love you more."
She gave him a quick kiss and said, "Nope."
He laughed and stepped away from her to pick up his bags, making sure to leave one arm free for Hanna. He draped it around her shoulders and she held his hand in both of hers.
"Let's get out of here." He said leading them outside and kissing her on the top of her head.
