Tenth chapter/song in this story!!! This song is "I Wanna Be Your Everything" by Trace Adkins, whose voice is awesome!!! ENJOY!!!

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
I would do anything thing for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
What I've never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you've given to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
And I wanna be more than just your man

A week passed with Calleigh and Horatio meeting every night in that clearing, just talking, laughing and hanging out together, just like best friends do. Then, one night, Calleigh didn't show. Horatio waited a half hour, and then went to her house to make sure that she was all right. He figured that she had fallen asleep and forgotten about the whole thing. He didn't really know how wrong he was.

He sneaked up outside her window and could see that the light was on. Curious, he looked inside and saw Calleigh burst in, tears soaking up her face. He was shocked, what on earth could she be crying about? He understood the minute that her father, Duke, stumbled in behind her. Even from a distance Horatio could tell that he was drunk. Or plastered, or hammered, or whatever you want to call it.

He could tell that he was yelling at her, and she was screaming right back. He couldn't understand the words, just that it was a very heated argument. Just then, Duke drew his hand back and slapped Calleigh hard across her face. She fell onto her bed, shocked into non-speaking. Duke dragged her to her feet and shook her a couple times to get his point across. Then, he shoved her back onto her bed, strode out the door and slammed it. Calleigh lay there, sobbing. She looked up and her eyes met Horatio's. Quickly she tried to wipe her tears away and opened the window.

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
Be the hand that lifts your veil
Be the moon that moves your tides
And the sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you been dreaming of and more
So much more I wanna be your everything

"C'mon," He said softly, and she climbed out the window. He took her hand and they ran over to his motorcycle. He kick started it and they roared away, Calleigh quietly sobbing into his back. As he felt her arms around his waist, he felt his heart soar with love; he wanted to be her everything.

Not that he planned on telling her that anytime soon.

He drove to the clearing and when he stopped, she slid off the seat and collapsed in the middle of the clearing, her arms wrapping around herself protectively. Horatio sat next to her and took her hand, and soon her tears and sobs quieted to whimpers and only a few tears every now and then. Soon she opened her mouth and poured out her whole story to Horatio.

"My father gets drunk every now and then, and when he does, he gets very touchy. The slightest thing could set him off, and he goes on rampages. He only goes after me, none of my brothers or my mother, and I don't know why. I don't think that they know about it, because me and dad are always getting into fights about everything. They write it off as 'dad doesn't want his little girl to grow up' and 'Calleigh just wants a little freedom from suffocating dad' but they are oh so wrong."

"Calleigh, why don't you tell them?" He asked quietly, and she says,

"Because I can handle it on my own! I don't want to burden them with my problems, and they think he's a saint. I won't tarnish their image of him just because of what he does to me."

Horatio frustration mounts and he sighs. He wanted to help her, he wanted to be the spark that lights up her life, so to speak, and right then, she wasn't letting him. And it was bugging the heck out of him.

When you wake up I'd be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out to me
I'd cherish your words
And I'd finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass when you get lost

Calleigh continued her story, and soon she felt sleepy. Horatio knew this and grabbed a blanket from his motorcycle. She was fast asleep when he got back, so he covered her up with the blanket and laid down next to her, but still giving her, her personal space. He soon drifted off to sleep, hoping that Calleigh wasn't going to get punished for staying out all night. Somewhere in the dark that night, Calleigh reached out to him in her sleep and grabbed onto his hand, needing human contact. She smiled in her sleep and fell back into dreamland.

As the sun rose up over the trees, Calleigh slowly awoke to find Horatio's green eyes staring at her. She twitched a smile and sat up, yawning and saying,

"Stalker."

"I am not." He said shockingly and teasingly, and sat up too.

"So, I guess I…"

"Fell asleep, yeah," Horatio finished, and Calleigh rolled her eyes and shoved him. Then, her eyes widened in shock when she noticed how the sun was rising.

"Aw, crap!" She moaned, jumping to her feet.

"You're going to be so dead, right?" He said, jumping to his feet too.

"Yes, and stop finishing my thoughts! It's creepy," She said, running to his motorcycle. He hopped on and sped over to Calleigh's place. She slid off and said,

"IM you later, bye! And thanks!" She ran off and Horatio nodded, saying to himself,

"You don't have to thank me, Calleigh, for doing what I wanted to do,"

I'd be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you been dreaming of and more
So much more I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything
