Finally! An update! I don't know if anyone is even going to read this anymore... Well, it's up anyway for anyone who does care. :)

Sunday, December 15, taxi (like, 5 minutes later)
Ugh. Stupid Tyler calling me a coward. I am SO not a coward.
…Am I?
Sunday, December 15, Caleb's place
So I'm back in Ipswich. Like fifteen minutes out of Ipswich, I made the driver turn back around. I had him drop me off at Nicky's.
Nicky's was pretty much empty, so I scooted into the back booth, trying to figure out what I was going to do next.
"Mind if I sit here?"
I looked up to see Caleb standing by the table. No doubt Tyler had told him about me already. I shrugged and Caleb slid into the seat across from me.
"I thought you were going home."
"I thought so too." Wanting to get the topic out of the way, I asked, Tyler told you didn't he?"
"Told me what?" Caleb replied.
So I told him the entire story, and he just listened without interrupting me even once. At the end, I waited for Caleb to say something, but he just sat there thinking.
"So what now?" I prompted.
"Well, I definitely think you should stay in Ipswich for the time being. A couple of months ago, there was a guy who came to Ipswich. He was posing as a new student, but as it turned out, he was from the fifth family in the bloodline. He was kind of psychotic and power hungry, and he tried to wipe out the rest of us. We thought we got rid of him, but there was no body after the fire. And, if he is still alive and if he managed to find out about you…"
Caleb let me fill in the blanks for myself.
"Great." Just what I needed. Some psycho finding out about me, like it wasn't bad enough that Tyler had found out.
Caleb stood up. "Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"You're staying at my house. Unless you'd rather go to Tyler's?"
I grabbed my bag. "Your place it is." As we walked out to the parking lot, I asked him, "We don't have to tell the others that I'm still here right away, do we?"
Sunday, December 15, Caleb's place
I've only been at Caleb's place for a few hours, but he keeps prodding me to come clean to the others. Somehow, I don't think they're going to be as understanding about it. Especially after I knocked Tyler on his ass and Pogue didn't really like me in the first place. And, of course, I was kinda mean to Reid…
"At least tell Reid," Caleb keeps telling me. "He's your brother. That and we need to talk to Meredith."
I don't want to talk to Meredith. What is she going to tell me? That I wasn't up to their standards so she put me up for adoption? How is that going to help me?
Anyway, Caleb just got a call from Reid. Did Tyler tell Reid? Caleb promised me that he wouldn't say anything as long as I stayed at the house…
