Chapter 6- Belief
Cal's POV
I drove Morgan home that night. She sat in silence looking out of the window. When we pulled up outside her house I turned to her.
'Morgan…….' She didn't look at me.
'I'm so sorry, that was never meant to happen, we never meant to hurt anyone….I never meant to hurt you'. I said apologetically.
She didn't reply. She just climbed out of the car took her car keys from me and walked to the path to her house.
I walked back to the house that I had rented with Clea. When I walked in everything reminded me of her, her stuff was all over the place, where she left it. She had been trying to find the best outfit to 'lure' Hunter - as she had put it.
I couldn't bare to be in that house any longer. So I grabbed my keys and drove off into the night.

Morgan's POV
I woke up after a total of 1 hours sleep. I had spent the whole night crying.
I had lost him. Hunter. My Murin Beatha Dan. I felt as if my heart and been ripped out and but in a blender then fed to a pack of starving wolves.
I could hear Mary.K in that bathroom that we shared. I didn't feel like facing anyone today, I couldn't. I just wanted to curl up and die. I heard knock on my bedroom door, it was my mum – or should I say my adopted mum, my real mother had been burned alive by her murin beatha dan, Ciaran, my father - She came in and I pretended to be asleep, she left a couple of minuets later. I lay there listening to my family in the house. My mind was still processing what had happened last night, and the same words kept replaying in my mind – 'Hunter's dead, and he's not coming back.
I must have fallen asleep again because when I woke up Robbie was sitting on the bed next to me.
'Robbie?' I said sleepily 'what are you doing here?'
'You where gonna come to that talk at Practical Magik with me, but its too late now, we've missed it' he replied shrugging his shoulders.
'Robbie I am so sorry, I completely forgot, you should have woke me up' I said sitting up and flattening my hair.
'You just lucked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you' he said with a nervous smile.
I was debating whether or not to tell Robbie about Hunter and Clea when he said.
'OK this will complicate things but……'
and before I realised what he meant Robbie had caught my chin and kissed me. He pulled away and we just looked at each other. It had felt so good feeling Robbies lips on mine that this time I kissed him, running my fingers though his hair as he kissed me back.
What did this mean? Did I fancy Robbie? One of my best and longest friends. What would this do to our friendship? What would Bree think? And what about Hunter?
