DISCLAIMER
CH. 25
Its been a week since Kaila woke up and there has been no change in Caleb's condition. Kaila is back at school and having a hard time adjusting to Caleb not being around. She hardly speaks at all if she does its only to excuse herself from the group to be alone. During class she doesn't pay much attention just stares at Calebs seat a few rows infront of her. After school she goes to the hospital and stays with Caleb until visiting hours are over.
Since the accident at school Kenneth had requested that the Kaila and Kate move back home with him. Today the last of her boxes arrived from her dorm. She said on her bed with the boxes open prepared to unpack when Kenneth walked past her room and saw how tired and worn out she was looking. He knocked on her door and walked in she didnt move only looked up when he entered.
"Hey sweetie, you need help unpacking?" He asked stepping into her room
"No thanks I got it" she said looking at the white carpet that floored her room
"Kaila, I know you're hurting right now, but you've got to go on living your own life." Kenneth said sitting on the bed next to her.
"Caleb is a part of my life and, I just feel so lost, I don't quite know where to go or what to do right now." She said looking away so the tears didn't show.
"I understand the pain, but you have to be strong, for him and trust that he's going to be okay." Kenneth said brushing her hair behind her ear. He still saw the pain and decided to give her some space "I'm hear if you need me sweetie" he kissed her forehead and left the room.
When he left Kaila fell against her green and black pillow cases and let the tears of pain, loss, and longing silently fall as she fell asleep.
The next day Kaila woke up with pain in her ribs and feeling very worn out the day was a bit of a blur school in the morning and hospital after that until visiting hours were over. When she arrived at the hospital today Evelyn was there but left to give Kaila sometime alone. Since she was feeling tired she decided to lay with Caleb hoping the sound of his heart beat would give her some comfort and she drifted off to sleep listening to his heart.
Caleb was only unconcious to the outside world he was very much awake and having quite an adventure of his own.
He was about to get a meeting from the last person he ever expected...his father.
"Caleb?" a deep voice similar to his called out in the darkness suddenly the room was full of light and white walls were all around Caleb with no end in sight only Caleb standing in the middle of the room.
"Yes, who's there, Who are you?"
"Your father William." His father answered and suddenly appeared right in fron of Caleb
"You're dead you can't be here." Caleb said trying to convince himself.
"Take a look around Caleb." William spoke softly motioning to the surroundings
"What the...Am I dead?!" Caleb yelled as the panic started to settle in
"No my son you are not dead you can relax." William said taking a seat in the chair and Caleb cautiously doing the same.
"Okay so if i'm not dead then what am I doing here?" Caleb asked suspiciously eyeing his father
"You are hear because you and I have some unfinished business, when I died you and I did not leave off on the best terms, I can see the anger inside you Caleb, you may hide it well from the rest of the world but I can see it clearly. When you used to bring my medication uo to the old colony house I could feel the hate and anger radiating off of you, you used to look at me with such hate anger, and pain."
"Alright well I hate to break up this little reunion of our especially when you've prepared such a great speech and everything but what the hell does any of that have to do with me being here?" Caleb asked starting to get impatient
"Caleb I never got to tell you that I did love you I just..." Caleb interrupted
"Okay played your little game long enough and this little dream sequence or whatever yeah this sucks and I still have no FUCKING idea what i'm doing here, thanks for trying to apologize or whatever but no thanks your late dadio." Caleb said standing to his feet intending to leave.
"You are right your are here so I can apologize to you and try to make things right between us?"
Caleb turned around angry "You want to play a game of lets make things right Ok round one why weren't you there for me?
"I understand your anger..."
"Round two, why weren't you there for mother?"
"Son, you have to understand..."
"Third and final round, why did you leave her to raise me alone?"
"Caleb I messed up"
"Bonus question, Why did you leave me without a father?"
"I know I hurt you son..."
"You know, you know! NO You don't know! Were you there when mother started drinking? Where you there when she would scream out your name in her sleep every night? Where you there when she would break down in tears at the sight of your picture, did you ever come home to find her passed out in the kitchen, hallway, foyer, library, or ever the damn bathtub and completely waster, did you ever have to pick her up out of her own vomit and or put her to bed every night like a four year old! No! You weren't so don't sit up here and tell me you know because you sure as hell don't know you didn't have to constantly pick up the pieces in her life and put them back together I did! So save the bullshit for someone who gives a shit pops." Caleb yelled letting the years of built up anger out.
"Thats the anger I was talking about, i'm glad you finally let it out, look I know I wasn't the best father and I never expected to get a father of the year award." Caleb laughed at the thought "You and your mother deserved better from me I wasn't the husband I should have been to your mother but I am truly sorry for not being there for you guys especially you. Caleb I don't blame you for being angry with me, but I need you to know that I do love you and I am sorry I wasn't there for you. You were partially right before about why i'm here yes so that I could make things right with you but also because of Kaila." William said hoping that the mention of Kaila would make him stay and it did the mention of Kaila's name made him look his father in the eyes.
"How do you know about her and what does she have to do with any of this?" He asked tryiong to keep himself in check.
"Kaila needs you Caleb" William said as he finished speaking Kaila appeared on the screen she was being held down by Reid and the nurse was injecting her with a sedative. The next clip was her waking up hours later with Kate and Kenneth in the room then her and Kate talking and tears falling down her cheeks. Then after Kate and Kenneth left she was lying in bed with a blank look on her face starring at the ceiling. She then threw back her covers and limped down the hall towards his room where Evelyn was. She and Evelyn exchanged a few words the Evelyn left the room leaving Kaila alone with Caleb she took a seat next to his bed and she began speaking to him with silent tears falling down her cheeks. She then climbed in the bed with him and laid her head on his chest as the silent tears continued to fall. He saw her at school unable to consentrate, her having trouble sleeping, and her hardly speaking to anyone all. Caleb was seeing everything that Kaila had been through since the accident and seeing her in pain on the screen made Caleb want to hold her and let her know everything was going to be alright.
"She needs you Caleb." William said placing a hand on his only sons shouldver. "You can Kaila are soul mates you two were meant to be together no matter what happens she's your one and only and always will be. Every member of the covenant has one soul mate that is meant for them. Kaila and Kate are what we call sisters of the Covenant. If you remember that part in the book of damnation two sisters alike in looks will marry two of the twenty first century covenant members. A power lies deep within then that will be unlike any other power our people have known and the only way the full potential of the power can be reached is by marrying their soul mates within the twenty first century covenant members and bearing..."
"The first born son" Caleb and Willaim finished together.
"I don't understand." Caleb said
"The couples are Pogue and Kate, as well as you and Kaila. Only there is a twist between the couples you and Kaila will have an unspoken amount of power between you, her, and your first born son, if her maximum potential the aging effect will forever vanish for future covenant members from there on and all the existing members will have no aging effect as well. However there is a road block in your way."
"What do you mean?"
"Kaila hasn't dealt with the loss of her mother and she can't bare the idea of losing you too. She like you puts up a good front but its eating away at her and she needs to let go for things to naturally fall into place.
"Why Kaila and I? And how do you even know we're soul mates and that we're so perfect for each other?
"See for yourself" William said and on the screen was him proposing to Kaila, then them getting married, honeymoon, having children, all the way up to them growing old together.
"Okay point taken." Caleb said with a laugh after the clips finished
"Exactly so go get her son and Caleb be good to her and always remeber that she loves you unconditionally".
"Thanks dad"
"You're welcome son, I love you."
"I know" Caleb said then his father started to fade away. "Dad" Caleb called out and William appeared again but this time faintly.
"I love you too" William smiled and replied "I know son" Then faded out and everything went black. When he opened his eyes he was lying in his hospital bed with Kaila fast asleep on his chest dressed in her school uniform. He kissed her forehead glad to have her back in his arms again. He took a moment to take in her scent then he slowly shook her awake.
"Kaila, Kaila baby wake up." He said shaking her slightly and pushing her hair out of her face. She moaned in response. "Kaila" he whispered in her ear the started kissing her ear she slowly opened her eyes in resposed to his soft kisses. When her eyes finally focused she was looking into Caleb's deep dark mysterious brown eyes.
"Caleb!" She shout sitting up and instantly regretting it because she hadn't healed very much and the pain shot through her ribs.
"Are you okay?" he asked concern clear in his voice
"I'm fine, you're awake" she said taking him all in "are you okay? do you need anything? Do you want me to get a nurse?" She asked rattling off question after question.
"Whoa slow down champ." He said grabbing her face and looking directly in her eyes "I'm fine I promis a little sore but nothing major." She shook her head okay closing her eyes fighting the tears.
"There is one thing I could use right now."
"Want me to get a nurse?" Kaila said about to get up and still unable to fully look him in the eyes
"No I have eveything I need right here" He said making her look him in the eyes then he kissed her after what seemed like forever since he felt her lips on his.
A few minutes later the door opened and Evelyn walked in saying "Kaila honey visting hours are over in five they are making their rounds, I saw you were hugging your ribs today so you must be in pain I talked to the nurse and she is going to give you some meds to take home." When she didn't get a response she turned around to see if Kaila was even still in the room when she did she saw Caleb and Kaila pull apart from a kiss and stare at each other like no one else existed.
"Caleb you're awake!" Evelyn shouted realizing that Caleb was sitting up and his eyes were open. When she said his name she made him and Kaila snap out of each other's trance.
"Mom" Caleb said looking away from Kaila. Evelyn rushed to her son and threw her arms around him letting a few tears fall. Caleb hugged her back and said "I'm ok mother really."
"Okay, Sorry, do you need anything?" She asked patting his cheek "I'm so glad you're okay, let me go get the nurse so she can check you out." Evelyn said kissing her sons forehead and rushing out of the room to find the nurse.
Caleb turned his attention back to Kaila who was still having a hard time he took her hand and kissed it "Baby i'm okay you can look at me, Kaila look at me" She looked up at him fighting the tears "You don't have to hid it." when he said that Kaila fell against him and let the pain she's been feeling go and felt the warm arms of her boyfriend wrap around her body to comfort her something she wasn't sure would ever happen again and now it was.
