Andrew: Hi! Michelle's playing Wii, so it's just me and Max . . . . the two of us.
Max: Nice try, but no.
Andrew: CRAP!
~~~Caleb's P.O.V~~~
I sat in the library with my head on the table. Derek was beyond angry, and he didn't seem to care when I told him about my father. This was all so messed up. I looked up when I heard someone take the seat in front of me. "Hey" I said looking up at a tired, sad looking Ashlynn. "Derek is talking to his friends about you." she said bluntly. "What?" I asked." I was walking down the hall, when I heard him whining to his friends about you, your relationship with him, and your dad." she repeated.
I felt like my heart stopped. Derek was telling people about my dad. How could he do that to me? Tears burned the edges of my eyes. I zoned out thinking about all the things I wanted to say to him. I was so angry. Ashlynn gently set her hand on mine. Her touch made my anger fade just a bit. I looked at her. "I'm so sorry Caleb. I know that my apology cant change the things I've caused to happen and I wish I could fix everything but I am just so sor-" I cut her off when I got up and pulled her into a hug. I could hear her crying quietly and I just held her close. "It's not your fault Ash, It never was and never will be." I told her gently.
I let go of her and walked out of the library. I roamed through the hallway until I saw all of them. Derek was sitting against the walls ranting to his friends. When I walked over they all glared at me. "Derek you have no freaking right to run your mouth to your obnoxious gossip group about something that belongs between me and you." I said to him angrily. "Well I was upset and needed someone to talk to since I obviously cant trust you anymore" he replied in a snobby tone. "I was hurt and annoyed. You were screwing some other guy and sending me pictures!" I shouted at him. The bell rang and he waited for a moment "Yea well you banged not only that whore Ashlynn, but you screwed your fucking dad to!" he screamed loud enough for all the students leaving their classrooms to hear.
People listened now, I could see them trying to gather to hear more. I became enraged I stepped towards him and he stood up. "You worthless fucking piece of shit, don't you dare ever speak to me about screwing my father, I WAS FUCKING RAPED BY HIM SINCE I WAS FOUR, and maybe I slept with Ashlynn because she made me feel something you never could! I don't want you to ever fucking call me, text me, I.M me, anything ever again. I never want to be bothered with a bitchy flamer like you, with nothing better to do then to run his mouth to a bunch of big mouthed skanks. So back the fuck off you freaking walking rainbow!" I screamed at him.
His mouth dropped open at what I just said to him. I turned to walk away. "Caleb wait I thought you loved me!" he said. I turned around and looked him straight in the eyes. "I could never love a person like you." I said as coldly as I could. I could see the tears fill his eyes. I smiled at him. I turned to leave again and I started walking away. I heard him start to cry, and a bunch of the girls trying o comfort him. This only made me laugh. People stared. I saw Ashlynn in the crowd. Her eyes were wide. I grabbed her arm and pulled her close to me. Derek looked at me. I turned to him, flipped him off and kissed Ashlynn so passionately. I heard him run down the hall crying.
The rest of the school day went by so fast. The weekend was finally here. I didn't see Derek once the rest of the day. Ashlynn stayed close by me. I felt so relieved that I was finally rid of Derek. I felt free. I took Ashlynn home with me. When we got to my house I saw my mom sitting outside of the door. Tears in her eyes. When she saw me she ran up and threw her arms around. "My poor baby! I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you" she cried. I was so confused. She could tell. "Caleb your father told me everything." she said to me. I backed up. "Where is he?" I asked getting a bit nervous. "Is he hear?" I questioned her. Tears fell from her eyes more. "He's dead." she said.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. "He was in an accident. He was drunk." she told me. I didn't know weather I felt relieved or upset. I couldn't believe that this abuse was finally over. Forever. I kissed my mom on her cheek. "Mom what are you going to do?" I asked her. She looked up at me. "We're going to move in with my sister down in New Jersey." she told me. "What? No! I cant leave." I said to her. New Jersey was on like the other side of the United States! "Where the hell else are you going to live? The house is ruined! And I couldn't bare to live there now." she told me. "Ahem. Um He could stay with me..." Ashlynn said ever so quietly.
I had almost forgot she was with me. Her hand was still in mine. "Really?" I asked her. "Yea. It's no trouble..." she said. My mom sighed. "Is that what you want to do Caleb?" she asked me. I just nodded my head.
Max: Awww what a nice ending for once. : )
Andrew: . . . . . . since when did you become a softy?
Max: Since Michelle kidnapped me any more stupid questions? -is getting annoyed-
