Caitlin's POV-
Thump. Thump. Thump.
What is that I hear? Hark the angels sing?? No.. that would be my heart beating harder then it has ever beat before, and for the briefest second I feel as if my heart is about to fly out of my chest and land on the floor, still beating with my love for Will... okay now that was just ew, but god the feeling coursing through my body, is so new and I don't want it ever to go away. Please let this feeling I am feeling as of now, be love, please! It has to be love, it feels too good, not to be love, I know this is love... but does he feel the same way? How could he? I'm just Caitlin Seegar, I'm a nobody in a somebody world, it's not like I am Taylor or something, there is no way he could ever like me in that way. Never. I feel him pull away from the kiss and oh god... he's staring at me... oh no what do I do? God someone help me! Hello! Is there anybody out there? Anybody whatsoever? Help me!
Normal POV-
"Wow"
Will smiled at Caitlin, once that
word came out her mouth, god could she be any cuter? Everything about Caitlin
Seegar made Will smile, she was beautiful.
"I double that wow Caitlin"
Caitlin smirked and looked away
from Will and stared at the oval shaped clock on the white wall, Caitlin
felt her heart just start to beat even faster... it was 12 am!
"Oh geez, I have to go. I'm going
to be in so much trouble"
Caitlin pushed herself up and almost
fell over the table as she ran over to the door, she could hear Will running
after her, screaming for her to just stop, just to let him take her home,
but she was out of the house before Will could actually reach her.
Caitlin's POV-
I am so dead. The minute I walk through that door Jim and Dori are going to kill me, if not by their own hands, then by the looks they are going to give me. Jim probably already had all of his squad or deputies or whatever looking out for me. I see the house come into view and I feel my heart finally stop, I am going to be in so much trouble... they are going to be so disappointed.
Serves them right! They were the ones that demanded that I didn't see Will, what did they think my reaction was going to be? What I did with Will was my choice! No one told me who I could and couldn't love. No one. God, I haven't felt this emotionally attached to someone since my mother and there was no way I was going to let Jim, Dori, Griffin or anyone take that away from me. Will was very special to me, and they couldn't do this to me... they just can't! I won't let them! No!
I stop, and realize that I am standing in front of the house, all my anger slinked back and fear entered my body as I reached for the doorknob. I turn it and I open the door and walk in and I am immediately ambushed.
Normal POV-
"Caitlin!"
Caitlin whipped her body around
to see Dori and Jim, Caitlin could see the relieved look on Dori's face,
but she also saw the look of anger on Jim's face.
"How dare you deceive me like that?
I know where you were! You were at Will's and to think you went there after
I told you no"
Caitlin rolled her eyes.
"You can't tell me where to go or
who to be with, you're not my father!"
Jim's eyes turned to a hurt gaze
for a second but then he let the anger win over.
"Well I'm better then your real
one, at least I'm here"
Dori touched Jim's shoulder, trying
to tell him that he was going too far, but it was too late.
"You're only here, because it benefits
you!"
"Don't you dare take that tone with
me!"
Caitlin threw her jacket off.
"Just leave me alone! Do you think
for one minute if I had anywhere else to go that I would still be here?
You can't tell me who I can or cannot love!"
Jim opened his mouth but no words
came out, he was too shocked, did she say love?
"You don't love him Caitlin. You
don't even know what love is"
Jim's voice was now calm and low.
"You're wrong! I do love him!"
Caitlin pushed past Jim and Dori
and flew up the stairs.
"Ugh! How dare they!"
Caitlin screamed as she kicked her
shoes off, she threw her body on her bed, she put the pillow over her face
and screamed into it. This can't be happening. Finally when she realized
that she could actually love another person, nonetheless a guy, they did
this to her... they can't make her choose... she won't.
"He's bad news Caitlin"
Griffin walked into Caitlin's room
silently, he strolled over to her bed and sat down next to her. He knew
that this wasn't what she wanted to hear, but she needed to hear it. He
had heard the screaming downstairs, well who couldn't? And all he knew
was that this guy was causing trouble between his family, and he
didn't like it one bit.
"You don't know anything Griff"
Caitlin muttered, she threw the
pillow off of her face, she pushed herself up in her bed and stared at
Griffin.
"I know that you think you
love him, but you don't Caitlin. You love the idea of him, he's this dangerous,
cool, rebellious guy and you think you are falling in love with
him. Don't do this Caitlin, please, just forget you ever met him"
Caitlin let out a sigh.
"I can't. I won't."
Griffin pushed himself off of Caitlin's
bed and glared at her, hoping that his glare, would make Caitlin see what
kind of mistake she was making.
"He's a mistake, this is going to
end badly."
Caitlin rolled her eyes.
"He's my mistake to make"
Griffin sighed and walked out of
Caitlin's room, there was no way he could prove to Caitlin that she was
going to make a mistake that she couldn't take back, he had to let do this
one on her own, and maybe, just maybe, after she realized what she was
doing, she would return to them... her family.
[The next morning]
Caitlin hopped down the stairs and
walked into the kitchen, she grabbed a donut without saying a word to Dori,
Jim or even Griffin. She threw her backpack on and ran out of the house,
she didn't even want to speak to them today, and by the looks they were
giving her, they probably didn't have anything to say that she would want
to hear. Caitlin hopped onto the bus, Griffin shortly behind her, they
both walked over to their regular seats and sat down.
"You could have at least said good
morning"
Caitlin rolled her eyes at Griffin's
comment and opened her book. She so didn't want to hear this, especially
from Griffin, who was he all of a sudden? The Guru of romance? The all
knowing geek? He couldn't even get a girl's attention, nevertheless, he
thought he knew everything about something he had no idea about. Caitlin
didn't want to be so mean, she didn't want to alienate Griffin from her
life, because they have grown extremely close but he just didn't understand!
No one did! No one even tried to understand, so why should she try to go
out of her way and be nice to them? They had judged Will from the minute
he walked into her life, they called him names, behind her and his back,
they didn't even give him a chance... so screw them, that was Caitlin's
opinion... screw them all.
"I don't see why you're not talking
to me"
Caitlin rolled her eyes again.
"Well I thought it was obvious"
Griffin grumbled something under
his breath and the whole rest of the bus ride to school was silent, Griffin
couldn't think of anything to say, that wasn't an insult to Will, so he
just stayed quiet. The big yellow bus jerked to a stop, Caitlin and Griffin
got up and walked off the bus.
"Yo"
"Hey"
Caitlin and Griffin heard Brett and Eric greet them as they walked off the bus, oohh the daily routine, woohoo! Caitlin thought to herself, she even felt mad at them, because she knew that they would have something to say, so why not alienate them too? Sounds like a plan.
"I don't want to hear it"
Caitlin warned Brett and Eric, and
then she turned on her heel and walked, no stomped, into the school without
saying one more word to her three male companions.
"What's up with her?"
Brett, was as usual, clueless to
what was going on.
"Will"
Eric and Griffin said in unision.
"She's being stupid guys. Caitlin
and my parents had a fight about Will last night, she had been with him
all night! She got home at 12 in the morning! Now none of us are talking
to each other and it's all his fault!"
Griffin pointed to Will, who was
now walking in front of them, they all walked in the halls of their high-school.
Will pushed his way past all the
people in the hallways, all he wanted to do was see Caitlin, just to know
that she was okay and that Jim hadn't killed her.
"Hey you"
Will said as he wrapped his arms
around Caitlin's body, she was a little surprised at first but then lifted
her head and kissed Will on the lips, he returned the kiss.
"So you're alive I see. The rents
didn't kill you?"
Caitlin smirked and turned her body
around and wrapped her arms around Will's neck.
"Nope, but they came darn close.
Oooh science"
Will grimaced, he finally let go
of Caitlin, but he took her hand and they walked to history class.
Brett, Eric and Griffin stood in the background, all of them disgusted with the scene they had just witnessed, things had just gone to bad to horrible, and there was nothing that they could do.
[Science Class]
Caitlin sat next to Griffin, her
eyes focused on her science book, but her mind was on Will, she had been
having the worst possible day, until he had wrapped his arms around her,
god he made her feel good... complete.
"Thinking of Will I see"
Caitlin popped her head up and glared
at Griffin.
"Could you stop butting in?"
Griffin shook his head sadly.
"I'm just worried about you."
Caitlin laughed.
"I don't need your sympathy or concern. If you can't see that Will and me are serious, then you can just leave me alone. All of you are always talking about second chances... where is his second chance? So he messed up, everyone messes up, everyone makes mistakes... but it's the people who forgive those people that are the bigger people. But no one in this god forsaken town has been willing to give Will a chance, although you guys gave me my second chance, what is the difference between me and Will? What his screwups are more criminating then mine? Let's remember I made that crop circle too, but you guys forgave me for that, I have had more then one 'second' chance.. actually I am probably on my fourth 'second' chance, but Will hasn't even had his offical 'second' chance... and that's not fair. None of you guys are being fair to him, if he was anybody else, you would have been more then willing to forgive him, but just because he is my boyfriend, my first boyfriend, you guys treat him like he has some deadly disease, you think you're helping me... you're not, you're ruining my life"
Griffin stared at Caitlin, in complete
shock at what she had said, but then the truth to what she said, sinked
in and all he could do... was look away.
