Daughter of Ipswich
Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
Epilogue
"Celeste! Hey Celeste!"
I looked up over where Kate and Sarah sat in the classroom.
It was now Monday morning, two days after the fight, one day after Caleb and I decided to get a little more serious, three days after Kate and Pogue had gotten sick, three days after my coming clean about my powers, and now my second day without Chase Collins.
"Celeste, come up here." Kate waved towards me, again. "Sit by us!"
But I didn't move towards them, instead I looked back over towards my brother, Reid, Tyler, and Caleb.
Tyler and Reid walked pass me, while Pogue and Caleb walked up to me.
"You look good this morning," Caleb commented with a smile, as he leaned down and kissed my lips.
I still hadn't become accustom to how our powers seemed to flow through each other, whenever we touch one another, but I guess that is why I loved touching him. I got a high off of the exchanging of powers.
"So do you," I smirked up as him, while he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Keep it PG," Pogue grunted, bitterly," I really don't want to have to deal with you two during classes. After all it is only our second week of school."
"Don't worry, Pogue," I grinned cheekily," You won't notice a thing."
With that Caleb and I began walking up the stairs, only to receive many stares of shock. It was like none of them could have imagined Caleb and me actually being a couple.
Yet, as I sat down behind Kate and Sarah, with Caleb right next to me, they both turned around, starring at us in shock.
"When did you two…" Sarah trailed off, obvious upset that she missed a chance with Caleb.
"Friday night," Caleb answered with a smile," But we've both liked each other since way before that."
"Only since birth," I giggled, making Sarah and Kate stare at us in shock. But Caleb didn't protest to my answer, making me smile only wider.
"I really did miss a lot, while I was in the hospital," Kate whispered to herself, while Caleb leaned down and planted another kiss upon my lips, moving me as close as I possibly be too him.
Sarah then sighed and asked, obviously trying to change the subject," Have either of you seen Chase? I've been trying to get a hold with him all weekend, but-"
"Didn't you hear?" Pogue spoke up, sitting down next to me," Chase was caught in the fire on Saturday, but they can't find his body."
"Oh my god," Sarah and Kate gasped, while I just looked up at Caleb, without a care in the world.
"Yeah," Pogue said in a somewhat sarcastic tone," a real shame."
But Sarah and Kate didn't pick it up, causing me to smile up to Caleb, who still starred down at me.
"Class! Attention please!" Our teacher began to shout. "Calm down, ladies and gentlemen! We need to start our class!"
Everyone began to turn around and settle down into their seats, giving Caleb and me a moment of peace.
"I love you," Caleb mouthed to me, as he brushed my bangs out of my eyes, as the teacher began to lecture us about Chase's disappearance and how if you had noticed him to call the police, since he disappeared at the fire.
As I starred up at Caleb, I realized that quiet possibly for the rest of my life, I could be starring up at his tall, dark, and handsome face. Hearing those same exact words repeated to me in the same deep tone. I might even have kids with him, at the rate we are going, and get married to him. And I doubt that we'll leave each other's side at Harvard.
So I finally said it.
"I love you too."
This was defiantly a happily ever after that was not worth missing…
