Well next chapter is here and I hope you all enjoy it!
Chapter 11
The pair sat next to each other in silence until Caleb spoke to the smaller girl.
"It's weird you know." He commented looking around the area of the park. When he saw Will look at him he continued.
"I have never come back here since he ran away I almost felt this was our spot you know?" Will had to smile a little at what he said since it was sweet in its own way. They soon fell back into silence which suited both parties just fine. Will was lost in thought about what she should do about the police who were looking for her and then they will ask about her father which she really couldn't answer.
"What will happen now? I mean we can't go back to how things use to be everything has changed."
"So what, it could be for the better." Will scoffed at him and looked around the empty park which was getting dark.
"How can this get better? My mom wants to go to Meridian to see what I have done with my life why I was failing my classes for! I have a son who she also wants to meet and his father shouldn't even care." He looked sharply at her.
"But he does…"
"He does." Caleb wrapped an arm round Will tightly and she hung onto him like he was her lifeline.
"Why not let your mother into your other side of life, it could bring you closer." He held a finger to her lips as she opened it to speak.
"Your father died it's true but why deny your mother to get to now the real and full you?" He asked her and she promptly closed her mouth thinking over what he said. Sure I wanted my mother to part of my life and it would be good not to have to lie to her anymore but after what happen to my father would someone go after her to get me and the heart? The thoughts were stopped when she felt Caleb's arm around her shoulders rubbing the top of her right arm and it felt nice but she soon pulled away, looking away from him she didn't see the hurt look pass in Caleb's green eyes.
"Will?" He asked and she looked at him.
"I don't know what to do, I would love to share my whole life fully with my mother but what if enemies use her to get to me like they got to my father I couldn't go though that again." Her watery eyes were getting worse again and Caleb grasped her small hand in his rather large one.
"Will you can't blame yourself what happen would have happened even if he hadn't known about Meridian so that wasn't the reason he was killed." He made small patterns on her hand with his thumb and continued.
"You were so brave when you faced us and you have always faced challenges with that bravery I sometimes wished I had. You will know what to do when the time comes I know it." She smiled at him and then she teased him.
"Ok Doctor Phil I will trust myself but hell Caleb when did you get so good at advice?"
"What can I say? You bring out that side of me." He smiled back at her and leaned in to kiss her gently on the lips. Will soon pulled back and asked.
"What about Cornelia? We can't do this to her." Caleb knew she was right but he wasn't pleased to have to think of her right at this moment. But he knew maybe he had to speak with her and soon it wasn't fair on anyone affected by what was going on.
"We should go back and face the jury." Will stood up and Caleb just after her.
"What about your mom?" He just had to ask.
"I will talk will Elyon to ask if she can go and stay in the palace. As much as it pains me to say it you were right I want her to know everything and she will." She starts to walk away and smirks when she sees Caleb's face changed from pleased to insulted.
"Hey!" He called after her and ran behind her to get to the portal in the sliver dragon, Will was the first one in due to the fact she had a head start. Yan Lin watched the much more cheerful girl walk in and past her since she was in the back hidden from view. Caleb was in next and he was complaining about it being unfair how she got a head start.
The pair went down the steps to the basement and the portal; the old woman frowned slightly then smiled at the thought that crossed her mind. She went back to ordering people around.
The pair of teenagers walked though into the portal that went into the palace where Hay Lin greeted them.
"Your back!" She leapt and knocked over Caleb to get to Will who smiled at her friend and hugged her back while sticking her tongue at the young man who was pouting on the floor.
"Sorry I bailed on you I had to talk to my mom about what had happen." She told Hay Lin who was crushing her; they must have thought I have left again.
"I wasn't going to leave again sorry to scare you like that." She told her hoping to get her to let go it didn't work. Caleb noticed that Will was turning blue and was quick to tell the small air guardian to let her go, when she did Will fell to the ground trying to get her breath back.
"Ok well where is Cornelia I need to talk to her." Caleb asked the apologizing girl who stopped saying sorry to Will long enough to point him to the gardens. He thanks her and runs off but takes one more look at Will who was now standing up and when she saw his eyes on her she smiled slightly and he could almost here her say good luck.
Running down the halls to the door to the gardens he rushed out to talk to the blond beauty that he saw was under a tree looking at the hole in the wall Will had caused. Walking over to her he looked down unsure what to really say to her, Cornelia felt eyes on her and she looked up and smiled at the figure of her boyfriend standing over her.
"Caleb…I'm so happy to see you." She patted the ground next to her and the nineteen year old sat next to her and she leaned into him.
"I forgive you about what happened between you and Will." She smiled into him but frowned when she felt him stiffen against her. Looking up she saw him not looking at her he seemed detached from her and it scared her. She thought if she told him she forgave him then it would be alright but looking at him she saw it would never be back to how it was.
"Caleb please tell me you are here to tell me that its time to go home together and everything will be back to how it was…please." She reminded Caleb of a small child who wanted something she knew she couldn't get.
"Cornelia I love you but it can't be the same after this…"
"If this is about Liam I understand, you feel the need to be his father and I will support you." She clutched his shirt and started to cry into him.
"You have to understand it wasn't a one night thing I think I have feelings for Will but I don't know anymore." He didn't know what to say to her and he didn't see Elyon walk over after hearing what was going on. She knelt next to the sobbing girl and told Caleb to go and she will talk to him later. But she didn't look mad just understanding.
Caleb smiled in thanks then ran towards Will's room hoping to find her with Liam and as he took two steps at a time he could hear someone walking in her room and when he opened the door there was Will placing Liam in the crib and she turned to look at him.
"Have you spoken to her?" But he didn't answer he was just looking at her taking her in. Will got a little nervous at the stare but Caleb made himself clear when he walked right over to her and kissed her. Will got lost in the kiss but alarms went off and she pulled back.
"What about Cornelia?" She asked breathlessly but all Caleb did was kissed her cheek just touching her lips.
"Don't talk please I need." He placed a kiss to her lips and he looked deep into her surprised brown eyes and continued where he left off and Will let him.
Please review I love getting them and knowing if you enjoyed my work.
