A Story

Everything was silent for a moment. Then Reid got to his feet and headed straight for his door and jerked it open.

"Reid! Where are you going?" Tyler asked.

"To find Bordy and kill him," Reid stated.

"Reid, stop. We need to tell the police."

"But I want to kill him!" Reid sounded like a little kid.

Caleb was listening to Reid and Tyler with half a ear. He was watching Brandy. She had paled and looked scared and happy. He had a feeling it was happy cause they knew who one of the guys were but scared cause they didn't know who the other one was. He moved from where he was standing against the wall and went and sat next to her on Reid's bed. He pulled her to his chest and hugged her. He kissed the top of her head, as she wrapped her arms around Caleb.

"Guys, you call the police and tell them you think you know who one of the guys are, okay? I'm gonna take Brandy out for some fresh air," Caleb stated, pulling Brandy up from the bed.

Pogue nodded. "Okay."

"How should we tell them we know?" Tyler asked. "We're not in her History class."

"Tell them, my girlfriend told you."

"Okay."

Reid looked at his sister. "You okay?"

Brandy nodded. "Yeah."

But no one believed her. At least at that moment. They probably wouldn't believe her about her being 'okay' till she actually meant it. And she probably wouldn't mean it till both guys were in jail. Or dead really.

Caleb lead her out of the room. "Get your jacket."

Brandy nodded and went to her room, across the hall and stepped in to get her jacket. Caleb stepped in after, leaning against the doorjamb as Brandy looked for her jacket. Caleb noticed a sketch book setting on a bookcase and picked it up and flipped through.

"Your pretty good." he complimented.

Brandy looked up, from where she was seeing if her jacket had fallen to the bottom of her closet floor. "Oh, thanks." She managed to find a zip up sweat shirt jacket. She pulled it on and went to Caleb. He was at a picture of a car she had drew that was orange and black. She had done it after a car she had seen in 'Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift'.

Brandy's eyes then widened as she realized, Caleb was almost at the picture she had drew of him. Well one of them. He was almost at the one, though that was just of him. "Uh, come on lets go." Brandy said, pulling the sketch book from Caleb's hands, with a blush on her cheeks.

Caleb glanced at her and smiled when he saw the blush. He figured she was shy about her drawings. The sketch book fell from Brandy's hands, dropping to the floor and opened to a drawing of the inside of Caleb's car with her and Caleb in it, from that night they almost had that car accident. It also had the car that almost hit them in it, as it tried to swerve to hit them. And Caleb with his eyes black and his arm trying to keep Brandy from getting hurt. It was just sketched. It wasn't colored or nothing. Just done in shades of grey, and black.

"Uh..." Brandy mumbled, blushing furiously, as she picked up the sketch book and closed it. She sat it back on her desk.

"You always draw things that happen to you?" Caleb asked, curiously as they walked out of Brandy's room.

Neither one heard the beep sound from Brandy's computer that said she had a instant message.

C. C-P: You there?

They might have heard it, if the door was open or if they were close enough to hear it through the door, but they had already walked far enough way, where they couldn't.

"Not always." Brandy mumbled, still blushing. "I draw other things too."

"Ah."

"'Ah'? What does that mean?"

"Nothing!" Caleb laughed.

Brandy tried to give him a serious look with her hands on her hips but her lip quivered as she held back a laugh. Caleb also was trying not to laugh. Both of them failed miserably. Still laughing, they walked past Brandy's mom.

"What are you two laughing about?" she asked.

"Nothing mom. We're going out for bit for fresh air. Bye."

"Bye Mrs.Garwin." Caleb said, barely holding back a laugh. He followed Brandy out the door.

Brandy sighed with a smile and raked a hand through her hair. Caleb grinned and opened the car door for her.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Caleb got in and started the car up and pulled out of the driveway. They kept up small talk as Caleb drove. They talked about everything and nothing. They both didn't feel the need to keep up endless chatter or make sure there was no silent moments. Caleb didn't realized it, but he had drove straight to the piers without thinking about it. They got out and started to walk. After a silent moment, that lasted a few minutes, Caleb spoke.

"Hey, you want to hear a story?"

Brandy shrugged. "Yeah, sure."

"Okay." Caleb licked his lips, cause they were getting dry and cause well... He was a bit nervous. This story was kind of a love story that had been in the covenant since the beginning. And he was wondering why it had suddenly popped into his head.

"It's been said that every male in the covenant, normally always finds his true love. The one he'd give up anything for. It's like... They can love a girl with everything they have, but when they meet their true love, they start to doubt their love for the other girl. Soon, they start wanting the girl to like them, to love them and to be able to trust them with the secret about the covenant.

It may take awhile, but soon the guy starts to realize that this girl is their true love; not the one they've been dating. It sometimes go faster if the guy isn't in love with anyone or dating someone when he meets his true love. And then when they do get together, it's as if... Well my mom said, it was like magic for her and my dad. She always liked him but when my dad started to pay attention to her like that, she fell for him even more, if possible. She said, nothing could separate them. Not the girls who had a crush on my dad as they dated or the girls who tried to break them up to date my dad, nothing.

It's supposed to happen for every son, but if they're not lucky enough to meet their true love, they meet someone who's close enough. Well, as long as the son doesn't meet his true love."

"Wow." Brandy murmured.

"Yeah..."

"So, Sarah's your true love?" Brandy asked, leaning over the rail looking down at the ocean. She hid the fact that she liked Caleb. Maybe even... no. She couldn't think like that. Especially if Sarah was Caleb's true love. She couldn't get in the way of that.

Caleb took a minute to think about her question. If Sarah was his true love, why was he thinking these things about Brandy and wanting to kiss her and wanting her to want to kiss him back? Caleb looked at her, about ready to just say, 'No, but she's close enough' but he stopped and clamped his mouth shut. He realized right then and there as he gazed at Brandy, as she looked out into the ocean, with the last bits of daylight, as it faded away to twlight, and shined on her, that she; Brandy was his true love. It hit him like a ton of bricks. He couldn't believe it had taken him four years to figure this out. Well, he hadn't really known her that well, till about four months ago. So, in reality, he couldn't believe it had taken him nearly four months to figure this out. (A/N: Remember we skipped three months a few chapters earlier, before Brandy returned to school. Like chapter 3)

"Caleb?" Brandy asked, confused, turning her head to look at him. Why was it taking him so long to answer?

"No, she's not my true love," Caleb managed to force out. His voice had went from normal to husky and almost to a whisper.

Brandy looked even more confused. "How do you know?"

"Because you are."

Brandy's eyes widened. "What?"

"You are." Caleb repeated. He took Brandy's hand and pulled her close to him and lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Brandy's other hand came up to Caleb's chest and rested there lightly. Caleb's other hand went to the back of Brandy's neck and played with her hair. Neither one noticed a old fisherman, sitting a little bit away. If they had though and had looked closely, they would have realized it was a guy in disguise. And if Caleb had looked closer, he would have realized it was in fact Chase.

Chase was smirking. This was working out better then he had expected. A lot better.

When Caleb and Brandy pulled back for air, Caleb kissed the top her head.

"I can't believe it took me this long to realize it."

"Realize what?" Brandy asked, lying her head on Caleb's shoulder.

Caleb smiled down at her. "That it took me all this time to figure it out. I've been thinking things about you, that make even me blush, and wondering if you liked me at all and I've been wanting to just protect you from everything and I keep wanting to just kiss you and hold you." he explained, smiling as a blush rose on Brandy's cheek.

Brandy kissed Caleb's neck gently, but it still made him groan low in his throat. Brandy actually couldn't believe she had this kind of effect on Caleb but she loved it and felt so happy it was almost ridiculous.

"What about you?" Caleb asked, his voice deep and husky. He was actually thinking about taking Brandy back to either her house or his (his might be better cause her brother wouldn't be there) and just hold her and kiss her without worrying about anything for a moment. But he didn't want to scare her or anything.

"What? Like have I had a nice huge crush on you or something?" Brandy asked.

"Yeah, or something," Caleb chuckled.

"Well, I've defiantly have had a huge crush on you for a long while." Brandy admitted.

Caleb grinned and leaned his head down again and kissed her deeply. Brandy's hand that was on his chest, rose to Caleb's cheek and the pad of her thumb gently swept back and forth. When they pulled apart that time, Caleb held back a groan, that threatened to break free. The way Brandy looked was just... well sexy. Her lips were swollen and her cheeks were rosey and that smile on her face and the way her eyes looked too. Caleb kissed the tip of her nose. Caleb's hand that had been on the back of Brandy's neck, went to her face and swept away the hair that was getting in her eyes.

"Come on, we better head back. We've been out here for..." Caleb checked his watch. "Whoa. We've been out here for close to a hour and a half. Any longer and Reid's gonna be freaking out and calling us both."

Brandy laughed softly at that. "True."

Caleb grinned and pulled back a little. He realized they were still holding hands. He started to walk alongside her, holding onto her hand tightly but gently too. Brandy laid her head on Caleb's shoulder and her other arm came up and wrapped around his arm as they walked back to his car. They both were silent, not needing to talk at all.

Caleb opened the car door for Brandy but before she slid into the seat, he kissed her cheek and closed the door and went to the drivers seat. He started the car and started off. He took his hand and grabbed Brandy's hand and held it; the pad of his thumb moving back and forth softly on her hand.

Everything was perfect, till Caleb's cell rung. With a smile that was a cross between, angry and apologetic (angry cause someone was calling him then and apologetic because he didn't want anyone interrupting him and Brandy) to Brandy, he pulled his hand away from hers and pulled out his cell.

"Yeah?"

Caleb would realize when he heard the person speak, that maybe, just maybe he should have checked the number.

"Caleb, we need to talk."

It was Sarah.

With Sarah

Sarah was holding her phone to her ear, as she stared at the picture in front of her. Kate had just sent it to her. It was a picture of Brandy and Caleb at the piers, and they were kissing. Kate had went to the piers to pick up some food for them, as they had to study for a test they were gonna be having and Kate had saw them kissing and took a picture of it with her cell and sent it to Sarah's e-mail address.

Sarah couldn't believe that Caleb was cheating on her. HER! And with... with HER!

Sarah heard Caleb sighed.

"Yeah, we do Sarah."

"Want to come over now?" Sarah asked.

"Sure. I'll be there within thirty minutes."

"Okay." Sarah snapped her phone shut. She glared at the picture. How could he cheat on her, with her? Was this why he wanted her to see who was messing with her in History?

She was younger, then Sarah herself and she was anti-social with everyone but the sons it seemed like and... and— ARGH! Sarah could barely think straight.

She closed the e-mail with the picture. A bit of Sarah's wicked side started to try and break free. She had a idea. A pretty damn evil one too. But she wouldn't do it, unless Caleb was gonna break up with her. If Caleb didn't break up with her, then she wouldn't. Well, maybe she would but with a less evil idea.

Sarah sat back to wait for Caleb.

With Caleb And Brandy

They had just pulled up to the Garwin Mansion.

"Let me know how it goes," Brandy said.

Caleb nodded. "Okay. I'll be calling you anyway," he grinned.

"And why would that be?" Brandy asked.

"Well, to say goodnight to you and hear your voice before I go to bed," Caleb explained.

"Oh," Brandy blushed.

Caleb still grinning, leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. Brandy's arms wrapped around Caleb's neck and played with his hair. One arm of Caleb's snaked around her waist, pulling her closer -any closer and she might be sitting on his lap- and his hand, from his other arm, went to her hip and his thumb slipped under her shirt, rubbing softly, sending shivers through her.

The kiss got hotter and deeper. It was no telling how far or how long it might have went, if Brandy's cell hadn't rung then. Brandy pulled back a little to answer it.

"Hello?" Brandy asked, panting and mentally cursing whoever was calling.

"Are you okay?" It was Pogue.

"Yeah."

"Okay. Look... Liz, when are you gonna tell the guys about the whole hurting yourself?"

Brandy figured, that since he was asking that, he had already went back to his place. She glanced around for his bike, but it was already gone. So, was Tyler's hummer. So, Tyler and Reid must be gone too or at least Tyler was.

"I don't know when, Pogue. But I will, okay? I'm just... not sure how to..."

"Well, just know I'm here, okay?"

"Yeah, I know Pogue."

"Good. Bye."

"Bye." Brandy hung up.

While she had been talking, Caleb still had a arm around her waist, with his thumb pad, gently going back and forth on her skin and his other hand drummed the steering wheel, as he waited.

"What was that about?" he asked.

Brandy shook her head. "Nothing. Pogue was just checking something. I'll explain later." she promised.

Caleb nodded. "Okay. I better go."

"Yeah, talk to you later?"

"Duh," he murmured, leaning in and kissing her briefly. "Bye."

"Bye." Brandy opened the door, while she kissed him bye again.

Caleb watched her as she closed the door and went to the front door. He waved back to her, as she waved to him, before going into the house.

Still smiling, Caleb pulled out and headed toward the dorms.

A/N: Whew! I've written two long chapters in one day so far! This one and number 9! GO ME! YEAH! YAY! LOL Review please! Oh and how am I doing so far with Brandy and Caleb?? Tell me!
