Caleb woke up late the next day. It took him a while to recall the events of the previous night, but when he did, he couldn't stop the broad smile from appearing on his face. Finally, after months of guessing, arguing and anxiousness Cornelia had finally come clean about the way she felt, and so had Caleb. And to top the whole thing off, they had kissed. They actually kissed. A perfect kiss. He looked down an her as she slept, she was so beautiful and pure, and now maybe, just maybe, she was his.

Does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend now?

What am I meant to say to her when she wakes up?

Just as Caleb was thinking Cornelia began to wake up. He head felt like it was about to explode with pain. Her stomach felt strange and her eyes stung. She was indeed, hung-over. She very slowly started to open her eyes, the light that hit her made her eyes hurt even more. When she finally was able to open them many thoughts started to accumulate in her mind.

What happened last night?

Why am I in bed wearing my dress?

Why do I feel so sick?

But when she looked over to see Caleb staring at her with his arm round her, all those thoughts were lost and were replaced by another.

Why the heck Is Caleb in my bed?

As soon as she saw him, Cornelia sprang from her bed with great speed. Caleb was startled and pushed himself up so he could sit on the bed.

"What the hell are you doing sleeping in the same bed as me?" She yelled. Caleb frowned.

"We fell asleep together, don't you remember?" He said, something didn't seem quite right with her.

"Why the heck would I fall asleep with you in my bed?" she yelled.

"Cornelia, if your joking this really isn't very funny." He said, why was she acting like this after they had kissed last night?

"Do I look like I'm joking Caleb?" She exclaimed. She certainly didn't look like she was joking.

"Cornelia, don't you remember what happened last night?" Caleb asked cautiously. He felt the dread start to overcome him.

Cornelia started to calm down now, her head pounded so much she couldn't shout any more, she sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes.

"All I remember is getting to the party and dancing with Andrew for a while." She said.

A cold feeling crept over Caleb. She'd forgotten. She couldn't remember. To her it was like they had never kissed at all. Like it had never couldn't remember Caleb being at the party, saving her from Andrew and then Kissing him. She couldn't remember how she had told Caleb her feelings towards him and that she thought she couldn't have him because he didn't feel the same. Their kiss wasn't a perfect kiss at all. It was a drunken kiss. Cornelia might not even have wanted to kiss him, she may have only done it because of the alcohol. How had this gone so wrong?

"I should call Andrew and make sure I didn't do anything stupid." She said reaching for the phone. Caleb stretched his hand out to stop her.

"Errrr, I don't think that's such a great idea- you and Andrew had a little, urm, tiff last night. Plus I don't think he'll be up for talking right now."

"Oh, ok- hey wait a sec how do you know?" she asked suspiciously.

"I, urm, you called me last night, you asked me to come along." he lied.

"Oh, did you have a good night?" She asked blissfully unaware of how he had saved her from her not so pleasant encounter with Andrew.

"It was certainly an eventful night."

"So what happened between me and Andrew?" There was no way Caleb could tell her what had really happened, she would hardly believe him anyway.

"Urm, he was flirting with all the other girls, you got a little angry with him and said you wanted nothing more to do with him." He lied.

"Ergh what a dick! Anyway at least I'm shot of him now, he's not really my type anyway." Caleb frowned, this conversation seemed to be resembling the conversation they had last night, so he asked the same question he asked previously which had triggered Cornelia to spill her feelings.

"So if he wasn't your type, why hang out with him?" he asked.

Cornelia thought for a moment, she'd never really liked Andrew in that way, the real reason she had got with him, was to try and get over Caleb, but that still hadn't worked.

"He seemed like a nice guy, I thought if I got to know him, we could get somewhere, but we didn't." She lied.

She knew she was lying to herself, but so did Caleb. It seemed that not being under the influence of alcohol made Cornelia more reserved. She wasn't going to spill her feelings again when she was sober. Caleb sighed. All the progress he thought he had made last night had just be trampled on and thrown out the window. But even if it had, Caleb was at an advantage, because now he knew Cornelia's true feelings and this would certainly play to his advantage.

"So, you really don't remember anything about last night? Not even when we got back here?" He asked, just to be sure. Cornelia thought hard for a moment.

"Nope, god I must have been hammered last night, good thing mum and dad are away!" She laughed.

Caleb felt defeated all of his hopes were shattered, but at least now he knew he could do something about it.

"I'm gunna go out for a bit, I'll leave you to clean yourself up a abit, I think you may have been a little bit sick last night as well." he said, making his way to the door.

"Erghhh noooo!" She groaned face planting her pillow, she hated the thought that she might have puked.

Just as Caleb was about to close the door, she called out.

"Thank you Caleb."

"For what?" He asked.

"You must have looked out for me last night, I must have acted like a real idiot when I was drunk, I always do!" She laughed.

"Don't worry about it, it was nothing."

Then he shut the door. Caleb had always been a strong young man, he fought in the rebellion after all. But right at that very moment he felt as if he could cry. Really break down and cry. He'd done so much for Cornelia last night and she didn't even know it. She had kissed him passionately and didn't even know it. The feeling of complete despair was something Caleb had never experienced before. For the rest of the day he walked around Heatherfield, thinking about the wonder girl he had kissed, and wondering if it would ever happen again.

Once Cornelia had freshened up a little she went out to meet up with Will.

"So how did Andrew's party go? Did anything happen between you?" Asked Will.

"It was alright, well what i remember of it was alright, but no nothing happened between us, and i don't think i'll be seeing him anymore." She said

"Aww, how come?" Asked Will.

"Oooh, he's just no the right one you know? I don't get any special feelings with him, he's not my type." She explained.

"So, your back on the market then? Got your eye on anyone?" She asked as she giggled. Cornelia blushed.

"Nahh, being single is fine by me!"

"You sure?"

"Yep."

"So, what about Caleb? Do you like him?" Will asked, already knowing the answer. Cornelia started to panic.

"As a friend, yeah." She said, her cheeks starting to burn.

"Anything more than a friend?"

"Err, well you know-"

"Corny you may as well drop the act, i'm no love expert, but i can tell from the way you act around him you like him." Said Will seriously.

Cornelia knew there was no point in lying, she trusted Will and so decided to confide in her.

"He gives me this feeling, i don't know what it is, it's difficult to explain. Will promise me you won't tell anyone?" She said.

"This stays between you and me." Will said holding out her pinky finger. Cornelia smiled and held out her pinky to shake on it. Both the girls laughed and then hugged each other.

From a distance stood Elyon, witnessing her best friend laugh, joke and make pinky promises with another girl. A single tear rolled down her cheek as she felt the feeling of replacement over whelm her. As it started to rain, Elyon ran for a cover in the nearest store to her, a book store. As she stepped inside a tall man with long blonde hair approached her.

"Hello there, my names Cedric." Seeing the tears on her face, he said:

"Is something the matter? Come in tell me whats wrong."

Well after reading your reviews and seeing how glad you were they were finally together made me feel a little bit sad when i wrote this Chapter. Nahh, just kidding i loved writing this little twist, bet none of you saw it coming! But hey love is never easy, especially when Cornelia and Caleb are involved. at least i didn't kill one of them off! Hmmm maybe if i don't get lots of reviews i'm sure i'll be able to think of a nice gruesome way to kill both of them off!

Anyway hope you enjoyed! and please review, or Corny and Caleb are toast! Or even worse, i'll write that Caleb and Elyon end up together and Cornelia ends up with Peter! YUCKK! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!
