Okay so since the last episode was kind of insane (or predictable or inevitable) depending on what mood I am in, I was expecting more ff fallout but couldn't yet find any. So I give you the next part of my little tale. Maybe I'll include the rest of the season too but for now on with the show :)
Make me hate you again.
Shelby is pacing in her room once again. "God, what the hell was that? What can I do? It's not my fault!?"
After a few failed attempts to call and reach Alex she reaches a conclusion. There is really only one person who can help her right now. She just isn't sure she wants to give him the satisfaction that he was right.
Shelby grabs her phone and a coat of the hanger and decides to take a walk trying to clear her mind. "Maybe I can think of something else."
After two hours, as her phone told her she felt calm enough but had also reached the conclusion that she needed Caleb's help.
She dials his number and he actually picks up.
'Yeah? You know I was on my way to bed...' - 'Shut up you idiot. I need your help!' Caleb could hear the urgency and a tiny note of despair in her voice and was worried right away. 'What's going on? Where are you? Do you need me to call someone or get you?' - 'Can you meet me outside your door? I am waiting.'
Caleb stared at his phone. Shelby had disconnected the call after her last words. So he throws on a hoodie and pulls on a pair of boots and heads out. She sees her shivering. She is only wearing a coat over the dress from the party.
He quickly but awkwardly pulls her in a hug and leads her inside. 'Where is your room?' Caleb is confused but answers her anyway and watches her walk up the stairs. He boils some water and makes her a tea to warm her up. Then he follows her.
When he enters his room she is in a pair of his sweats and pulls a t-shirt over her head. After a while of Shelby just breathing in the warm tea he decides to try again. 'Shelby why are you here? What can I help you with? What happend?'
'If I tell you, you cannot say I told you so or laugh or be mad at me. It is not my fault, okay?' 'Okay?!' Caleb hears her out as she recites his brother emotional, well lets go with breakdown. 'And you figuerd the most effective way would be sleeping with me?!' he concluded for her.
'Yes but No. I was thinking about just pretending.'
