Michael went out to find Callie a few feet away. She was looking into a creek.
" Callie."
Callie turned to see Michael.
" Why did you take off like that?
" Because I said what I shouldn't of."
Michael went closer.
" Don't ever think that way. I believe you."
" Michael," Callie said getting up," I told you that I loved you."
Michael only grinned at her and Callie shook her head.
" Stop that Michael."
" Stop what?"
" You have Sara back, aren't you happy?"
" Of course I am, but I have something to say to you."
Callie crossed her arms.
" So say it, I haven't got all day. In fact, I'm going home."
Michael didn't know what to say.
" Why?"
" I don't belong here."
" Yes, you do. You saved my life. I love you for that."
" Don't Michael. You're in love with Sara, not me."
Callie then again walked away from him and Michael followed her back to the cabin. Michael again stopped her.
" Why do you want to walk away from me Callie? We have to talk."
" Go away and leave me alone."
Michael shook his head. Callie stood in a corner. Lincoln looked at Sara.
" You want to take a walk Sara, let them talk in private."
Sara nodded her head and left with Lincoln. Michael went up to Callie.
" Don't walk away from me. I do love you."
" How can you? Look at me Michael?"
Michael looked around and saw a mirror. He took Callie's hand and made her stand in front of it.
" No. You look at yourself. You're beautiful. I want to hear you say it."
" I can't."
Michael looked at her.
" I'm not letting you go until you say it."
Callie looked at him.
" I'm beautiful and I'm in love with you."
Michael ended up hugging her and could hear Callie crying.
" Let it all out Callie."
Callie continued to cry and then looked around.
" Where did Lincoln and Sara go?"
" Gave us time to be alone to talk."
Callie stepped away.
" So we talked, now what?"
" Take advantage of the time?"
" I can't do that Michael. I know what you're thinking."
Michael took Callie back in his arms.
" Then tell me what you want."
" I want to go home Michael. I want to go back to Chicago."
Michael sighed.
" You know I can't do that, not yet."
" You asked me what I wanted."
" I'm still a fugitive."
" Not to me."
Michael then placed a kiss on her, but Callie pushed him away.
" What do you want from me?"
" Nothing."
" Is that why you just kissed me, again?"
Michael sat down and made her sit next to him.
" You don't have to do anything you don't want to."
Callie got up.
" Good, because you need to think. Do you love me or do you love Sara?"
" I love you both."
Callie shook her head and saw the door open and in walked Sara and Lincoln. Callie went outside and Sara followed her. Lincoln looked at Michael.
" What did you do to her Michael?"
" Nothing Linc. I told Callie how I feel."
" And?"
Michael ended up sitting down.
" Callie doesn't believe me. I think I love both of them Linc. You want to know what else Callie said?"
" That she didn't want to be here anymore?"
" How did you know?"
Lincoln sat down.
" She wanted to go back even before all of this. I told her I needed her here, so she stayed."
" Callie wants to go home Linc. I can't let her do that."
" Look Michael, you have to admit Callie is younger and naïve."
" It doesn't matter to me about the age difference. I love Callie."
Lincoln got up.
" I've made arrangements. I'm going to be with LJ. Are you coming or not?"
Michael shook his head.
" I can't. I have to decide who I want to be with, Sara or Callie."
" Good luck."
Lincoln walked back outside. Michael sat back and sighed, he did love them both and in the end someone was going to get hurt.
