Reid: So, Kris…
Kris: Garwin.
Reid: If a fat man puts you in a bag at night, don't worry I told Santa I wanted you for Christmas.
Kris: Well then don't worry if comes and beats you up, that's what I wanted for Christmas.
Sarah ran out the front doors and out into the school courtyard. She stopped in front of a large oak tree and felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her. Caleb didn't know what to do or how to comfort her; so he held her in his arms, in complete silence. When she caught her breath, he led her to her to her dorm room. Caleb sat her down on her bed and went into the bathroom; returning with a glass of water for her.
"Thanks." Caleb didn't respond. He just leaned against the wall facing her with his arms crossed. After what felt like days of silence, Caleb walked over to Sarah and knelt down in front of her. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed away each tear that had escaped her eyes.
"You've met him before." It wasn't a question but a simple statement; the truth. What worried Sarah the most was that Caleb didn't appear to be fazed by Nicholas's appearance at all. It scared her. Sarah knew she had to tell Caleb something. He deserved an explanation but what explanation could she give? She decided to tell him the truth; as much of it as she could possibly reveal.
"I've only met him a few times; maybe once or twice," she took a deep breath. "I know him because I dated his brother, Kristopher up until he broke up with me."
"Idiot," Caleb snorted, earning him a smile from her. "So you did you run out?"
"Nicholas and K─Kristopher were twins," her voice was beginning to crack. "When I saw Nicholas…when I saw Nicholas it just brought back all of the memories of his brother. It's that face; I couldn't help and I'm so sorry. Are you angry?" That was all she got out because warm, soft lips immediately claimed her mouth. Sarah leaned back until she was lying on the mattress and Caleb was hovering over her. He bit down on her lip, causing her to gasp. She let his tongue explore the caverns of her mouth. Caleb suddenly broke away; just far enough do that their foreheads were touching.
"He's your past and I'm your present; that's all that matters to me. You're mine and I could ask for anything better," His eyes never left hers as he said those words and what scared her the most so that she could they were one hundred percent true.
"Really," she asked.
"Really, now lets get to class. We've already missed first period princess." Sarah smiled as Caleb helped her off the bed and held her hand as they walked down the hall together. Just as the turned a corner in the hallway, Caleb bumped into another student; Nicholas Ravena.
"I'm sorry, I should have looked where I was going," Nicholas apologized to Caleb but he was staring at Sarah.
"It's fine, just be more careful," Caleb replied coldly. Sarah had never heard his voice filled with so much venom. Caleb squeezed Sarah's hand lightly and nudged her forward.
Just as she passed him, Nicholas whispered, "Nice seeing you again, kitten." She could tell Caleb had heard; he paced had quickened and he held on to her hand like she might disappear and any moment.
