Woah sorry it's been forever mixture of school and might have found my own 'caleb' (well they both don't mind being sarcastic and a bit outspoken and so far going well) This is the last chapter. Thank you for reviewing and hopefully you enjoyed it!
Tall dark and superman, He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away To save the world or go to work It's the same thing to me. He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition.I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him, I hang on every word you say. And you smile and say "How are you?"And I'll say "Just fine."I always forget to tell you I love you.I'll love you forever
Caleb had been too busy for her. She couldn't stand it. For a while things had gone fine since they got back together until recently. All he did was lately was work. He had recently gotten a job. Not just that he does whatever else he can to get money. He house sits, pet sits, does odd jobs computer or handyman stuff whatever he can. When he's not doing that he's doing schoolwork. I barely get to see him. A little bit in the morning is the only time I get to see him as he's getting ready. "Good Morning" he smiled and was washing his face and started brushing his teeth. After he was done. He gave me a quick peck on my cheek as he went downstairs to grab some breakfast to go. "How are you?" He smiled as he looked at me a smile on his face as he quickly ate a muffin and was grabbing some juice. "I'm fine. How about you?" She said covering her sadness pretty well. "Good. Wish I could stay and talk but I gotta get to school and use the computers and print stuff out and get stuff done before work. After that I'm working on some phones. See you later!" He pulled her close for a peck on the lips and left. We haven't had a serious talk in so long. I don't get it… it feels like he's trying to put distance between us. I know he wants to do well but he's gone so often I don't know what to think. The only thing I'm sure of is I miss him.
I watch Superman fly awayYou've got a busy day today. Go save the world
I'll be around.I watch superman fly away Come back I'll be with you someday. I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down.
The pattern keeps on. I see him only sparingly. He is helping out more here in the money department which I know my mom appreciates it. but I wish he didn't have to work so hard. It was morning again. "So what's the plans for today?" She asked looking hopefully at Caleb as he got ready. "Work , school you know the drill he smiled. "What about you?" He questioned. School then possibly quick coffee with the girls then back here. I'll be here when you get back. " She smiled. "Nothing sounds better than that." He smiled. He soon got his stuff and left.
Tall, dark and beautiful, he's complicated, he's irrational, But I hope someday he'll take me away and save the day, yeah. Something in his deep brown eyes has me saying,He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they say. And you'll leave, got places to be and I'll be OK. I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day
Only he never came back for a really long time. Coffee with the girls was the usual A speculations and trying to distract themselves from A. Hanna did her homework made dinner alone. She couldn't help but keep looking at the clock. It finally got dark and she finally put the food to where it could easily be reheated, ate then went upstairs to her room. Her phone finally beeped. "Last minute house/pet sitting for Lucas we're splitting profits I'm staying tonight & tom turns out he can't some geek convention came up. Tell mommy marin for me please? See you soon!" Hanna sighed and shut her phone.
When Hanna's mom got home Hanna explained why Caleb wouldn't be back. Hanna's mom frowned. "Strange lately it seems He's always working. I hope he won't burn himself out. Mostly he's only home to take a shower and sleep her and only short periods inbetween." Ashley noted. Hanna shrugged. She couldn't help but think the same thing. "Honey are you ok?" Ashely looked at her daughter carefully. "I'm fine." She said calmly. "Good because I told Caleb if he hurt you again…" Her mother trailed off. Hanna cracked a smile. "Thanks mom." Hanna rolled her eyes.
I told my mom I was ok and I am… I just miss him. I don't know how to tell him. It seems so important to him. I don't know why but it is. I admire his drive I do… I don't see how he does it ,but it makes me miss him more. Suddenly I was in some fancy bedroom in a castle. The bed is huge with pink blankets and pillows. I'm wearing the most beautiful pink gown I can ever imagine and my hair and everything else is perfection as I check the huge mirror on the dresser I am wearing a tiara as well.
I look out the window at the beautiful mountain scenery from my castle only to think something was missing. That something or rather someone missing suddenly called down from the ground below "Princess …So you ready to come with me or what?" He calls looking up with the most handsome smile on his face. He is dressed in a suit and looks amazing. "Really? Right now?" she asked eagerly. "Unless you don't want too." He laughed. "I'll be right down!"She called I realize then I don't care anything about the castle anymore. It could have been a condemned shack for all I cared. I was rushing down the stairs to meet him when I heard a very annoying buzz of my phone.
I watch Superman fly away, you've got a busy day today. Go save the world, I'll be around. I watch Superman fly away ,Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down.
It took me a few seconds to realize I had fallen asleep. Crap. It was just a dream. I jumped and checked my phone in case it was Caleb. It was just from Spencer. Hey. Would you and Caleb be up for a double date with me and Toby sometime?' I texted back 'I'd love too but I don't know Caleb's super busy working.' Hanna could imagine Spencer's concerned face as she texted back. 'Still? Isn't he always? You didn't say anything today at coffee He's been gone almost constantly hasn't he?' Hanna sighed. 'A lot. But I know it's important to him' She texted back. 'Yeah but why? Why does he need so much money? I mean I know stuff is tough for him but he's almost giving me a run for my money with the hard work. ' Spencer wrote back. The noise of my phone reminded me of a pinball machine. 'Spencer what are you saying?' I texted back.
'All I am saying is I don't want you to get hurt again…you don't think it's weird at all? Is he saving up for Arizonia again?' 'No. He only left before because we were fighting. He wouldn't do that to me.' ' Are you sure I mean I just don't want you to get hurt but I think that's what he's up too.' 'No Spence he cares about me' 'Yeah cuz he showed how much he cared about you before by spying on you. ' I threw my phone against the wall. Honestly! Spencer sometimes… She wished people could see him for what he was instead of just assuming he's the guy you need to be scared of "Woah! Easy there princess!" Caleb smirked. "If your phone is that slow maybe I need to do some work on it." He teased. I blushed and ducked my head went to grab my phone. "It was um….a spider." I said lamely. "A spider." He echoed chuckling as he came and gave me a hug from behind and kissed me. "Remind me to never scare you with any then." He drawled as his brown eyes teasing looked at me. "Anyways Princess I've got us some food downstairs if you wanna come on down. He smiled. "Okay." I smiled big.
They headed downstairs. "So I guess Lucas is going to enjoy his convention?" Hanna grinned. "Oh yeah. He won a ticket to something that has major speakers apparently from his favorite nerd books." Caleb laughed. "I'm glad the pet sitting is over the neighbors kept staring from the blinds. It was freaky." He shuddered sipping his coffee. "Not to mention your battle scar there. What happened? The housewife came after you with gardening tools?" Hanna laughed and pointed out a red mark on his arm grabbing her fork and eating her eggs Caleb had made. Caleb looked surprised then shook his head. "That's what happens it took the dog a bit to warm up to me. It only took about 5 treats." He stated sarcastically before taking a bite of the piece of toast he'd made. "The dog did that? Goodness I hope you didn't break its leg." Hanna joked.
"Hanna I wouldn't do that. Especially to someone else's dog." Caleb said surprised. "I know." Hanna smiled slowly." As annoying as the mutt is I think the owners would miss him. Don't get me wrong I about wanted to hurt the little rascal I remember being a kid and always wanting one. Foster parents don't usually grant pets too often I tried to have some but they were always taken away. I couldn't do that to someone else." He explained a serious look on his face. Suddenly Hanna laughed she hadn't meant to but couldn't help it. "What?" Caleb asked surprised. "Nothing." Hanna shook her head and started to put the breakfast things away.
"Tell me." Caleb insisted a playful look starting to come on his face. Hanna shook her head again. He then quickly followed her pretty well even when she quickly figured out his plan and tried to hurry away from him. "Caleb …Stop!" She giggled as she tried to push his hands away but they quickly grabbed hers and pulled her against the wall and proceeded to tickle her. "Spill. I won't stop till you do." He threatened his voice hard but eyes enjoyin this immensely. Every try on Hanna's part failed by Caleb blocking her with one hand up in warning and the other tickling her without mercy.
In a fit of laughter Hanna tried to stay strong but couldn't help it. "Alright alright." Hanna held her hands in surrender. "I just thought the weird neighbor might feel better that Lucas is staying but I hope for his sake the dog warms up to him better than it did you. I wouldn't want to think of what it could do it to him." Hanna laughed. "So are you making fun of me or Lucas?" He laughed. "Both I think" she kept giggling. Caleb shook his head. " The neighbor would probably stare even more at you and I think it's good you're not going over there you probably would have just have blinded the poor dog with your hairspray from your purse" He shot back. "Hey you survived." Hanna pointed out. "Barely…." Caleb fake sighed. He pulled her close to kiss her. " I wish I could stay but I've got some stuff I have to do." He frowned. He got his stuff together. "I'll see you later today though right Hanna?" He questioned
. " Yeah unless you come in wearing a blindfold" She grinned at him. He smiled and got his stuff together and took a last look "Bye princess!" and walked out the door. "Caleb wait!" She called. He stopped and turned around. "What?" He asked looking up at her . "Thank you. Breakfast was great. It means a lot to me." She smiled. "Of course Princess. See you soon." He left a happy smile on his face.
And I watch you fly around the world And I hope you don't save some other girl Don't forget, don't forget about me. I'm far away but I'll never let you go I'm lovestruck and looking out the window Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be Right here wishing the flowers were from youWishing the card was from youWishing the call was from you'Cause I've loved you from the very first day
Hanna couldn't help but think about what Spencer had said. She loved Spencer but sometimes… she gives Toby a chance so easily yet keeps a running log of what everyone else has done. She didn't get that. Of course Spencer didn't know Caleb like Hanna but still.. Caleb had proven himself to be a caring , helpful boyfriend. If she needs someone to talk to he is there, if she needs a distraction and take her minds off things He can do that too. He encourages her and is just…gets her. For all that she could wait a while.
She couldn't help but think sometimes with him being gone so much that things wouldn't change between them. She was fairly sure they weren't with how while I was less time lately the still communicated often. Hanna wasn't going to pull away. With being out the thought had come to her what if he meets someone else? With how handsome Caleb was it was bound to happen. The bad boy reputation at times didn't hurt at times. How girls could be sometimes … She trusted Caleb though. He was always the one to help her with not just her phone but with her school to fix her food. Once she accidently broke a vase. Caleb had been there with her when she told her and had even helped Hanna find a nice replacement for the space from goodwill. Goodwill of all places! Her mom was satisfied and didn't hold it against her.
Everyone had something today it seemed. Aria had flowers from Mr. Fitz delivered to the school in front of everyone. Of course it didn't say it was from Mr. Fitz but it was signed with some poem so to me it was obvious of course who it was from. Hanna was talking to Mona when something fell out of her bag as she left. Mona! Wait!" She called. She couldn't help looking at what it was. It was a card for Mona. With an N on the front. Hanna really had to restrain herself from gagging before running after her and handing it to her friend. She heard her cell phone ring she grabbed it looking eagerly for a Caleb on the front screen but it's not. It's from her dad. "Hey dad." She answered wondering what he could want. He was just checking on her again. They talked for a few minutes before Hanna told him she had to get back to class.
She passes by and remembers where she first talked to Caleb as she walks to class. It is preferable to the confusion of her father. There was something different about him. At first she couldn't put her finger on it but he was different. In a good way. She thinks that's what it was he didn't care what anybody thought how people disapproved of his long hair and the way he dressed. It's what she loved about him and what drew her to him. Later she found out he was able to help her be the same way. And she's never felt happier. Except when he's not around. Which sadly stayed about the same if not a bit more.
Finally she couldn't help but ask it. It was night now. He had just gotten home a while ago. They had joked and laughed and ate dinner. Afterwards they had curled up on the couch and put in a movie. Not that they were watching it. "Caleb?" She asked timidly. "Yeah?" He asked turning his attention from her blond curls he was playing with to Hanna's face. "Why have you been working so much?"She asked curiously. "So I can get a nice pair of jeans without holes in them?" He joked. "Caleb . Seriously!" She hit him playfully.
"Why do you want to know?" He cautiously asked. "It's just…I miss you Caleb. I understand things have been hard for you but when you're at work and then immediately to your side jobs…. Everything makes me think of you, the basement, the guest room , the sink , school…I wish we could see each other more." She finally admitted lowering her eyes. Caleb got the biggest smile on his face as he pulled her close. "Hey. That means so much to me Hanna. I was gonna wait to tell you. Actually now I can show you… You know you're a heavy sleeper Hanna." He commented.
She just sat there looking confused. He laughed and rose from the couch took her hand and led her a little bit but then stopped. "Close your eyes." He instructed her. "Caleb…." Hanna warned. He laughed. "Do you want to shut your eyes , or do you want me to have to force a blindfold on you while holding your hands" He grinned and started to tickle her side. "Fine …" Hanna sighed giving in and shut her eyes. "Good. No peeking." He informed her with a smile –not that she could see it. He took her hands first then changing his mind and grabbing her shoulders with a smirk and spinning her around a few times to confuse her sense of direction. "Are you done…?" She asked tiredly. "Almost princess" He chuckled at her impatience grabbing her hand again. He slowly led her to her front porch commenting "You know I could get used to this…" He commented knowingly.
She tried to hit him with her free hand but missed. Caleb again just grinned. "Alright you can open your eyes." He told her. Hanna stood outside looking at a silver car. "Is someone here?" She asked turning to Caleb confused. "Just me. I just bought this car today. That's why I've been working so hard. Now that I have this car I'll just do my part time job and maybe every once in a while a side job but I think I'll be letting Lucas do some of those from now on." He grinned.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked. "Because I wanted it to be a surprise. Now I get to drive you around!" The pride evident in his voice. I smiled. "So how about it Princess? Ready? Let's go!" He grabbed her hand again. She didn't even ask or care where they were going. The destination didn't matter. "I knew it." She murmured a she got it. "What?" Caleb asked as he started the engine. "For once Spencer Hastings was wrong." Caleb Rivers laughed. "Don't tell her that exactly…She won't like it. But what about?" He asked glancing at her as he pulled out of the driveway.
"She thought you were saving up money for Arizona again. You remember when I threw my phone? Spencer was actually the spider. I was angry and didn't know how to respond to that. " She laughed. "She was very wrong. I'm not leaving..Unless you're with me." He declared as he put his kept one hand on the wheel but grabbed her hand with the other. They both smiled and listened to the radio. It wasn't exactly like her dream she had before, but for Hanna it didn't matter. The main part of the dream, her and Caleb came true and she didn't care about anything else.
