"How about late August? I like that it's summer but not too hot usually." I suggested.
Caleb sighed. "It's not like this thing will be outdoors. Why can't we just do it in December around Christmas break?"
We were discussing wedding dates and could not agree on a thing! He was so stubborn. All he wanted was December 30th. Any other day was unacceptable to him.
"December is too soon. It leaves us with only one month to be single." I gave as my new argument.
His eyes went black as he stood up and the chair behind him flew against the wall and shattered the mirror that was behind it. We were in house, ruining his stuff so I didn't really care. "You. Will. Never. Be. Single!" His hand flew into my cheek, sending my whole body out of the chair and onto the floor. "You understand?" I didn't answer. "Do. You. Understand?" he repeated.
"Yes," I muttered quietly.
"I can't hear you!" Caleb shouted.
"Yes," I said through tears.
"December thirtieth it is then. Get out of my house!"
I clumsily got to my feet and stumbled out the door and fell back down when I got to the porch.
I heard the front door open. "Sarah! Sarah! I'm very sorry. Please come inside."
I knew I sounded whiney and immature but I just sobbed and said no.
"What am I going to do with you? How can I marry someone who wont listen?" A few seconds later Caleb continued. "Stop being such a fucking baby and get in the house!" He waited to see if I'd respond before going on. "Fine, stay here! But I'm not driving you back!"
Now, I had no choice. To drive back to my dorm was fifteen minutes. And that was driving. Walking would take over a half hour. So I stood up and looked down.
"Look at me, not the floor." He commanded.
I obeyed. He had gotten much older in appearance. He looked almost thirty.
"Good girl! Now let me get you back." Caleb took my hand and walked to the car while I slumped behind.
Later that night I was in the library, reading, when Tyler sat down next to me. He took the book and placed it down on the table. "I cannot believe I'm saying this, but Sarah, we need your help."
"It depends."
"It's about Caleb, obviously." I nodded, giving him an OK to continue. "We need you to break p with him."
"But he'll kill me."
"Possibly, but you need to stop thinking of yourself. With his power and anger, he'll kill many other people." Tyler replied. "You're not the only person in the world."
"So? Once he kills me, he can kill everyone still." I said.
"I figure he'll probably be too regretful to kill again." That's when I noticed it. Tyler looked older also, about the same age that Caleb looked.
"You're on his side, aren't you?" I stood up and when he grabbed my wrist, I yanked myself away from him and started running.
"Sarah, wait!" I heard from behind me, but he wasn't chasing me. His voice just got quieter and quieter as I moved farther.
I'm so sorry for the wait for this chapter. I really want to update but sometimes, I just really need to be in the mood to write and that's not always as often as I hope. But I hope to update more frequently.
Hope you liked this chapter. Reviews are always appreciated.
