Rediscovering Love

Chapter 10- Stepping Over the Line

Caleb's POV

It hadn't taken long for Sarah and Jessica's little argument to get back to me. I learned about it after seventh period and I also knew that the whole school knew I was a father. That was just wonderful. There was also a rumor going around that Sarah was sleeping with Aaron Abbot which I wasn't sure was a rumor or not. But I couldn't be sure about that. Rumors tended to start when things got out of hand.

I walked to the front of the school and found Jessica, Kate, and Amber standing around laughing. All three girl's hair was soaking wet. I knew Jessica had PE last period but I didn't know Kate did. The things you learn every day. "Hey you three." I shouted jogging towards them. Jessica's happy face turned sore in a split second. I wondered what I had done to piss her off.

"Why do you suddenly look like you want to kill me?" I asked standing next to Kate and Amber. It was best to stay away from Jessica when she was in one of her moods. I had noticed that she was almost bipolar since she returned.

"Oh its not you I wish to kill. Its your girlfriend." Her eyes darkened but didn't turn black. She was staring at someone behind me and I took one guess as to who it was. She turned on her heel, her hair swinging with the movement, and she headed out towards the parking lot.

"What happened?" I asked as Sarah wrapped her arms around my waist. I gave her a soft kiss and turned back to the group. Kate and Amber looked a little uncomfortable and Sarah noticed as well.

"I see you two side with the slut." Sarah said flicking her blonde hair over her shoulder. I hissed at the word.

"Sarah!" I shouted. She looked at me with innocent blue eyes. I fought the urge to roll my eyes and looked at her. "She is not a slut, you ever call her that again and you will be very unhappy." I warned. She rolled her eyes this time.

"Sarah and Jess got into a little fight at the end of sixth period. Words were said and feeling hurt. Some very interesting fact arose I hear." Kate glared at Sarah with a none to nice look then turned to Amber. "Hey do you still need a roommate." Sarah gasped at her so called friend's question.

"Yeah. I can talk to Provost Higgins about having you reassigned if you'd like?" Amber offered and Kate nodded. "Goody. We can head there now. Caleb if you see Tyler tell him I'll come his place later." Amber said, her eyes burning with anger as her gaze landed on the blonde beside me.

"Sure. I'll tell Pogue that Kate's with you as well." I answered as they left. Kate gave me a thumbs up and waved as the girl linked arms and headed toward the main office. "So what did you say to get them that pissed at you?" I turned to my girlfriend.

"You know if that.. that girl hadn't shown up my friends would be mad with me." She huffed. Her lower lip stuck out like a five year old. I fought the urge to laugh at how stupid she looked right now.

"No they would have found a reason to be mad at you any way." I put my arm around her shoulders and her mood lifted. "So I hear that your screwing Abbot." I said off handily.

"No I'm not Caleb. You know I would never do that to you. It's something Jessica said trying to take the attention off her when we were arguing. Thats all." She answered the question and I believed her. She had never done anything to make me believe that she would ever cheat on me. Now I was a little mad at Jessica for lying.

"Ok. Well lets go get something to eat." I offered and Sarah smiled. I smiled back and we left the school.

Later that night as Nicky's...

Tyler, Reid, Pogue, Sarah and I were the only ones that sat at our usual table. Kate, Amber, and Jessica didn't show. When I called Jessica to ask why her response was cold. They were hanging out at her house watching movies and if the we didn't like that, it was our problem. I had never heard her voice so cold even when I had pissed her off when he had been dating. Its like she just didn't care any more.

"So what did you two do to get all three of them pissed off?" Pogue asked picking at the fries that sat in front of him. He just seemed so out of it without Kate at his side. Poor Tyler looked sad and Reid, well Reid was his normal self but nothing new there.

"I didn't do anything." I said stressing the 'anything'. In truth I hadn't done anything. Sarah had done it all. I wondered what exactly she had said to piss off the little strawberry blonde so much that it had the other girls pissed as well. I didn't know Amber was capable of being pissed and Kate we all knew that when she was pissed it took forever for her to get over it.

"Then who did what?" Tyler asked looking to me then Sarah. His eyes widened but returned to normal. If he knew what Sarah had said she was in some deep shit.

"We just argued. I guess she's still mad." Sarah shrugged and rolled her eyes. "She's a bit of a drama queen." Sarah said taking a sip of her soda.

"Man if she's pissed at Sarah and you, Sarah must have said something to really piss her off." Reid pointed out.

"Thank you Mr. Obvious." I said, my words dripping with sarcasm. He shrugged his shoulders and stood.

"I'm going to see who much money I can get off Abbot tonight. Any one want to join me?" He asked looking to Tyler then Pogue and totally skipped over me. He knew I was a nit annoyed with him right now. He may be my so called 'brother' but I could still get annoyed with him.

"Not to night man." Pogue said putting is arm around the free chair in which Kate would have been sitting. It was a movement out of habit.

"No I just don't feel like it to night either." Tyler said and I was floored. Tyler usually never turned down a game off pool. Was not having the girls here making them act like this?

"You guys are whipped. Your girls aren't here so you don't want to do anything but sit around and mope. Will you two can do that. More money for me then." Reid said walking off towards the pool table where Abbot and his cronies were already playing a game.

I was not in the mood to be here tonight. "Hey I'm going to head home. My head just ain't here tonight." I said standing and putting on my jacket. "You need a ride Sarah?" I asked.

"Yeah. Thanks. I need to go to bed anyway. I have a test in the morning." She said and slipped on her jacket. I lead her out the door with my hand at the small of her back. She smiled.

"You ok Caleb? You just don't seem yourself." Sarah's face was sad and I really didn't like the fact that my moodiness had cause her to look that way.

"I'm fine. Tired is all." I said opening the car door for her. She let it go at that and slide into the seat. I climbed and we left Nicky's. I dropped her off at the dorms, kissed her goodnight and headed towards home. At least thats where I told myself I was going. Somehow my car pulled up the driveway of the Simms manor.

I sighed seeing Jessica sitting on the front stairs. It was nine at night and I wondered why she was outside the house. Who was watching Bella? I pulled the car to a stop and her head darted up. Her face was none to happy. I turned off the car and got out. "Why are you outside?" I asked.

Jessica's POV

Bella was laughing and Kate was playing with her. Amber was watching some TV show with my mother and talking like they had been since Amber and Tyler started dating. I felt so lonely realizing that everyone else in that room hand someone. My mom had my dad, Amber had my brother, and Kate had Pogue. I had no one but Bella and Annabell. I sighed.

I kept my eyes on Kate and Bella. Kate would make a good mother when her and Pogue settled down, I didn't doubt that for a minute. The look on her face when she was playing with my daughter was just pure bliss. That gave me a thought. I had yet to formally give Bella Godparents. Kate and Pogue would be perfect for the job. I would have to talk to Kate about it and of course Pogue and Caleb. Caleb was after all the father of my daughter.

I laughed a little when Kate ended up getting hit in the head with a stuffed animal. Kate laughed and tossed it to me. I caught it and set it back on the floor and Bella walked to get it. "Hey I'm going outside to sit on the stairs for little while. Need to get some air." I said and stood. Kate, Amber, and my mom nodded. I walked out into the cool night in only shorts and a tank top as usual and sat on the stairs.

I sighed. I heard an engine and my head darted up to see Caleb's silver Mustang GT pull to a halt. I growled to myself and stayed where I was sitting as he turned off the car and got out. He looked so damn good in the moonlight. I hated how he still effected me. I sighed again. "Why are you outside?" I head him ask as he began to walk towards me. I didn't answer just sat and stared at him.

I flicked my eyes away and turned my face to the stars. It was so clear tonight. I sighed. "Hey you ok Jess?" I heard him sit beside me and I didn't turn to him like I used to. This scene was so familiar.

"You ever wonder why the stars shine brighter one night but you come out the next and none are out even when there aren't any clouds?" I had asked this question every time we did this.

"Yeah I do wonder. The whole time you were gone I never say a star." He said and I smiled.

"Same here. I never once say a star. Now I'm home and they show themselves. Its funny actually." I said finally looking at him. "What do you want Caleb?" I asked. My voice was tired. And truly I was tired of this game we were playing.

"I don't know. I was headed home from Nicky's and my car just ended up here with you." He said and I smiled.

"How many times did you use that excuse when were were sixteen? I mean we would fight and I would leave in my own car or Tyler's. You would end up here and and I would ask the same question if not in a different way. You would answer with something sweet and they you would tell me that." I laughed and sighed again. It felt like I was sighing a lot tonight.

"I remember." He smiled and looked to my face. I grinned. "Remember our first big fight?" He asked.

"Yeah you didn't get me the lilies. I yelled at you and you yelled at me. It was so silly to start with and escalated into something so huge I came home in your car. I mean I left the Fall Feast freshmen year. I could forget that ever." I laughed.

"My the tires on my poor car had never seen so much speed ever." He laughed. "I remember I came over here and saw you sitting in the dark blue dress. You were crying and looking to the stars. I remember your question then. 'Do--"

"'..you ever wonder how big the universe is? Does it ever make you feel so small that you wonder why your even here?' Yeah that was my best question." I cut him off. He smiled. "You said.."

"'We all have meaning even if were small compared to the universe.' Best answer I ever gave." He cut me off this time finishing what I had been going to say.

"I asked why did you come back with Pogue's bike. You told me that you didn't know you just rode where you wanted to go." Almost the same as now. We always did this all the time.

"Well thats what happened now. I just drove and ended up here. I don't know I'm always pulled towards this house even when you weren't here." He confided.

"Really?" I asked. No one ever told me that he came over when Tyler wasn't home.

"Yeah, no one knew. I would sit down the drive or get out and take a walk. A couple times your father came home when I was sitting beneath the tree just thinking about us. He understood why I was here. So maybe someone did know that I came by. Tyler never knew though." Caleb said picking at the knee of his jeans. He seemed embarrassed to be talking about this.

"I'm sorry I left." I said hoping that helped.

"No you had to."

"If I hadn't of left we wouldn't be sitting out here like fools and talking about the past. We would be down and Nicky's dancing and playing pool, or inside with Bella playing mindless games that two year olds play." I shook my head. "If I had never left we would have this space between us." I looked down as a tears hit the wood of the stairs. Caleb saw it though.

His hand went to my chin and he slowly lifted my face so that I was eye to eye with him. I was still crying. "If I had never of left I would feel like a fool." I said through sobs.

"Your not a fool Jessica. I am." He said had leaned his forehead against mine. "I jumped to conclusions about you never calling for six months. I should have listened to my instincts but I didn't. I'm the one who should be sorry. I'm putting you through hell." He said and his nose touched mine. Our faces were getting closer each second.

"You not putting me through hell Sar..." His lips were on mine and my eyes widened and my tears stopped in an instant. My hands flew up to his face and slipped into his soft brown hair. I felt like my body was on fire. Everyone of my senses were on edge waiting for him to push me away, saying that I was pushing him to much.

Before I knew it his arms were around my waist and he was leaning me back against the porch, I had after all been sitting on the top step. His body was now against mine and I liked the feel of it. My hands strayed to his arms and I felt the muscles through his jacket. I slide my hands to his chest and found their way under his shirt. My fingers felt his ab muscles and I grinned against his lips. He was grinning right back. I hitched a leg around his waist encouraging him to grind against me which he did. One of his hands now gripped my thigh while the other was still at the small of my back.

My body was against his and moving with each grind of his hips. I hadn't felt this alive since before I had left home. I loved this feeling. I removed my hands from under his shirt and began to push off his jacket. He let go of me long enough to get the jacket of and setting next to us. His lips never left mine though. The kiss was so heated and so passionate.

I gripped at his back as I thrust my hips against his without any conscious thought. I moaned feeling the friction of our clothing. I grinned again and his lips traveled to my neck. My mind snapped back to normal when I remembered how he loved to give me hickys. Good God that was all we needed. "Caleb." I said. All I got what a h'm. "Caleb baby we can't do this out here." I said after a moan as he hit a sweet spot on my neck.

"Then lets go inside and upstairs." He panted. Then his mind snapped back to reality just like mine had. "I'm so sorry." He shook his head as he got off of me.

"No your not, because neither am I." I said taking his hand and putting it on my heart. I put my hand over his. "I missed you." I said and he knew what I meant.

"I missed you two. But I can't believe, and I'm with--" He ran a hand through his hair looking confused. "How can I just leave Sarah. I mean she knows what I am and if I piss her off she has something against me." He said looking at me.

"Well you can do what she does." I offered.

"And that would be?" He looked at me like I was nuts.

"Cheat." I answered sweetly.

"I can't do that." He said. But I could see the possibility in his eyes.

"Baby you can and you just proved it." I said looking at him through half lidded eyes. I was in pure heaven. He was mine again.

"I don't know." He said looking conflicted.

"Answer me this." He nodded waiting for me to ask my question. "Even now that this is in the open, if I were to ask you to come upstairs now with me what would you do?" I asked looking him in the eye.

"I would take your hand and go up to your room." He answered. "So what does that have to do with this?"

"Would you feel bad know that your still seeing Sarah?" I asked the second question.

"No not that much." Again with an honest answer.

"Then you can cheat on her if you have to until you find reason to drop her." I said and stood holding out my hand. He took it and I helped him up.

"I still think its wrong." He said smiling at me as I led him inside.

"Well its wrong but hey, your just taking a page from Reid's book." I said with a grin. Once inside the door I pulled him into a deep kiss and heard cat calls coming from the living room. I swore I heard the term 'finally' escape my mother lips. "Shut up." I yell happily and we walked to Bella.

"Daddy!" She screamed and held out her arms for him. I smiled and watched him lean down and pick the girl up. Kate and Amber smiled.

"Hey baby girl. Miss me?" He asked Bella and she giggled. He was back. I wasn't mad anymore. I was happy. I walked to Kate and sat next to her on the floor.

"We need to get dirt on Sarah." I whispered to her and Amber heard. Her head perked up and she moved closer to us.

"I can see what I can do." Kate grinned and Amber giggled. "Why though?" She asked.

"Caleb and I crossed the line tonight. He's mine even when he's hers. If we can find a good enough reason for him to dump her so that she can't use our secret against us then I won't have to be nice and share whats mine." I said with a grin. I looked towards Caleb. He was sitting on the couch with my mom and Bella. He looked happy. So was I.

Well I have to say I think cheating is a bad thing but in this instance it is not. LOL. It's my story and how. So please see the poll in my profile to vote weather or not I sould do Amber and Tyler's story. Thank you and Review. I'm going to try to find pictures of Amber and Jessica. If I can't find pictures of them as actresses then I might, might anime pics if I can find what they look like that way becasue Jessica might be hard to find. LOL Well next chapter will be out tomorrow night.
