Anyway back to the drama:
"Caleb?" Was all I said before he ran in my direction. The next thing that happened shocked me even further. He grabbed me in a vice bear hug with his big strong arms. I was in a mode of total shock. Sure I loved the feeling of being hugged by my big brother but, I was rely confused as to why he was hugging me when he should be lashing out on me for leaving in the first place. For not even calling and talking to him for the past four years. I suddenly felt tears falling on my shoulder where he rested his head. My heart gave a big squeeze when I realized that he no longer cared and he loved me.
"I'm sorry Caleb for leaving you and the others. I rely wish I could turn back time and undo my mistakes." I said teary
"I'm the one that's to be sorry. I'm the one that didn't stop mom from taking you away from us. I should have stopped her but I couldn't register anything that mom said. That you're leaving. I was in a mode of complete shock because our family, which has the closest bonds to each other, was breaking up. I'm so sorry that I didn't do anything. Can you please forgive me?" Caleb said.
I stood there amazed at what he had said. A single tear fell from my face before I answered him. "Of course I forgive you." He gave me a kiss on my forehead before answering "Thanks."
We stood there hugging each other, savoring the moment for what seemed hours but was mere minutes. I didn't want to lose this feeling of him being so close to me. Of him loving me and hugging me as if the world depended on it. I loved the feeling of his strong arms holding me, protecting me, keeping me safe. My entire being was being shaken with streams of tear flowing down my face. Not tears of sadness but tears of joy. Joy because the rift that was caused between Caleb and me had been mended.
Then, I head a short faked cough, most probably by one of the 'Sons'. I reluctantly let go of Caleb's hug and turned around to see who had faked the cough. The moment I left Caleb's arms, I was met with another strong set of hands that embraced me with another tight bear hug. It was Pogue who was hugging me. I felt the same tears of joy as he continued to hug me.
"I've missed you," He whispered in my ear. "I've missed you a lot Cassie." He whispered again.
"I've missed you too Pogo." I said laughing at his old nickname.
He let me go and took a step back to examine me.
"Damn, California sure made more sexier." Reid said with a smirk on his face. I laughed at his comment before hugging him too.
"I'm glad your home Baby girl." Reid said.
"It's good to be home Re. I've missed this place so much." I said
"Oh, so you miss Ipswich but you don't miss me." Reid said mocking being hurt.
"Reid...you know what I mean. Of course I missed you. Heck I missed all of you." I said
He released me from our hug and stepped back into the line of 'Sons'.
Then I turned to see Tyler. But what I saw shocked me. Tyler was in no mood to greet me. I felt tears of sadness come over me but I held them back. I didn't want to let anyone know that I was suffering by Tyler's little gesture. So I gave him a small smile before sending a thought to Caleb.
'Is he still mad at me?'
Caleb turned to look at me before giving a small nod that no one else but the two of us noticed.
'I'll talk to him later'
"Hey Tyler." I said hoping that he would reply back.
"Hi." He replied and I could feel the anger in his voice but I pushed it aside for time being. 'I'll deal with this later' I told myself.
"Cass!! Have you found th…" Liz said walking from around the corner but stopped mid sentence as she saw that I was surrounded by the 'Sons'.
"Yeap I sure did." I moved past the boys towards Liz.
"Guys, this is my best friend Lissie." I gestures towards Liz.
"But you can call me Liz for short." Liz piped in.
"Liz I'd like you to meet my brother, Caleb Danvers." I said pointing towards Caleb.
Caleb shook Liz's hand and gave her a warm smile before saying "Hey."
"Hi Caleb, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liz said
"This is my brother's best friend, Pogue Parry." I said pointing towards Pogue.
Pogue nodded his head giving Liz a small smile. Liz smiled back.
"That is Tyler Simms." I said pointing towards Tyler, who was leaning against a black Hummer, which I assume was his car. Tyler just gave her a nod before returning to continue to look up towards the sky.
"And last but not least." I said pointing to the last of the 'Sons'. "That's the infamous Re.."
"Garwin, Reid Garwin." Reid cut me off.
"Hi Reid." Liz said with a smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
"Hey beautiful." Reid replied. Liz blushed and tried to hide her head behind me. I giggled.
"It's rely nice to finally have the pleasure to meet all of you. Cass has been talking about you'll from the day that I met her." Liz said with a soft smile.
"Oh, has she? What's she's been talking bout me?" Reid asked with a devious smile.
"Hmmm…well, she says that you're the badass of the group." Liz said with a smile. Everyone except Reid laughed at the comment. Reid gave me a glare, which I returned happily.
"Boys, can we go? My feet are killing me." I said. They all laughed and come to grab our bags.
"Thanks." I said before following Caleb to his car.
"OH MY GOD." I squealed when we got to Caleb's car.
"What?" He said looking at me as if I were hurt.
"You have a Mustang?!" I said.
"Yeah…?" He replied confused.
I squealed again before running and jumping into the car. "I've always wanted to ride a slick sports car."
"Well, now you can." He said getting into the drivers seat.
"Hey Liz, you wanna come with me and Cale or with the guys? I said
"Erm…I think I'll go with the guys if that's all right." She said
"Sure, com'on Caleb, show me what this baby can do." I said hopping in my seat impatiently waiting for him to start the car.
"Cassie, could you please stop jumping in the car?" He said smiling
"Once you start moving then, I'll stop jumping." I replied back.
After twenty minutes of driving, we finally came to the front gate of the Danvers Manor.
"Wow, the house hasn't changed a bit form the last time I saw it." I said looking at the beautiful house that I once stayed in.
"Yea, mom doesn't like to change anything." He replied easily. I stiffened at the mention of my mother.
Caleb saw me stiffened and put a hand on top of mine before saying. "She's not in, she went to Boston for the weekend with the other Covenant mothers."
"I'm glad she's not here because I don't think I can handle seeing her at the moment." I replied.
"Princess…you have to overcome this problem between you and mom ok. I don't want to see the two most important people that I love and care for fighting with each other while I stand and watch." He said.
I smiled at the mention of my old nickname. Only Caleb was allowed to call me that. "You remembered." I exclaimed
"Remembered what?" He asked me giving me a confused look.
"Your nickname for me." I explained.
"Of course I remember, how can I forget my lil' princess." He joked.
He parked at the front of the house and turned off the engine. "Com'on, let's go."
"Alright. Oh and Caleb?" I said biting my bottom lip.
"Yeah?" He replied carrying my bag out from the trunk of the car.
"Thanks for accepting me back with open arms, I thought you hated me for leaving." I said before hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheeks.
"Your welcome princess but remember this, whatever you do, I can never hate you. And I love you." He said giving me a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you too Cale." I replied.
"Com'on lets go inside, I'm freezing out here." I replied with giving a small shudder.
"Alright. By the way, you want some hot Cocoa?" He asked when we entered the foyer.
"Cocoa sounds so good. Thanks." I replied entering the living room and plopping down on my favorite chair.
Just then I heard the others coming from open front door.
"Cass! How come you never told me you liked in a mansion?" Liz said coming into view.
"Erm…coz you never asked." I replied with a smile.
"AWW!!! Look at how cute you were when you were little." Liz said with a coo.
"Oh shut up, but thanks for the comment." I said blushing.
"Your welcome. By the way where Caleb?" She asked no one in particular.
"Right here." Caleb said coming into the living room handing me a cup of hot Cocoa.
"Thanks Cale." I said before I took a sip of my cocoa. We all sat there making small talk, mainly the guys asking us what we did in California.
"So, what are we doing for the night?" I asked when the silences made me feel eerie.
"Well, since it a Saturday night, why don't we all go to Nicky's?" Reid said.
"Yea. God I missed Nicky's." I said with a big smile.
"Anyone mind telling me who or what Nicky's is?" Liz said.
"It's a local bar that everyone goes to." Reid said.
"A bar? That sounds nice. I haven't been to one in ages." Liz said.
"Then tonight is your lucky night." Reid said with a smirk.
"Ok, I'm going to rest now. See you guys later." I exclaimed getting up and going to my room.
I reached my room and went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.
"Ugh…I look like a total mess." I said to myself. Then I had a shower and went to bed.
Tonight, I'll definitely talk to Tyler and explain everything with him. Hopefully he'll understand and we can go back to being our old selves. "I rely do miss you a lot Ty. Every single day that I was gone I wanted to at least hear your voice, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm so sorry for hurting you so much Tyler." I said tear filling my eyes before I turned on my Ipod listening to 'Realize by Colby Caillat' before sleep found me.
