Writer Note : Sorry it took time for me to update. I wanted to watch the finale first. And I've only finally watched it tonight so... Spoiler : TOBY IS ALIVE! but I wish there would be at least one scene of haleb... And, is Ali really alive and the one in the red coat? Anyway, so as you could see I've kind of written a story of the past of Caleb, but now it's different. It's funny because the text I'm posting are like 3 times the one I started with. Because I write it, before updating it, I rewrite it and it's always longer. So I really do hope you like it. And if you have any idea for the story, I'm always open.

Chapter 3
Hanna's pov :
The frame of the couple on her desk was the only thing that catched Hanna's eyes. At this point, she wouldn't believe he could have left her like that, without saying something first. Something bad had happened, she knew it, she felt it deep down. The only thing she was one hundred pourcent sure of was that –A didn't have anything to do with it.
Concentrated on how somebody could do this. Mostly thinking about who would do something that twisted. Obvisouly –A was that one twisted person in her life, but it wasn't her/his fault this time. All the memories of those silent night he had opened up to her came to her mind. After all the foster family he went trought, there were probably more than only one person that have treathened Caleb. The place he seemed to hate the most was Allentown. Haven't he said it was one of the best foster family he had? She thought to herself. Oh wait… That's right. He talked about the gang he worked for. Other than what Caleb had done for them and that they were real criminal, she didn't knew much about them. But some thing inside her made her sure they had something to do with it.
Then she was more anxious than ever. She knew those guys weren't good news, specially not for Caleb. Hanna wasn't quite sure that Caleb had even talked about that story to his real mom. He loved her a lot but couldn't stop fearing the day she would realize that he did those bad stuff.
So she went to her car, turning on the engine. She didn't had a clue of what would happen, but she couldn't wait in her house anymore. She had to find out what happened and there was only one way to find out.
Hanna couldn't actually leave without telling her mom. But she couldn't tell her where she was going either. So she sent her mother a text :
Sleeping at Emily's house tonight. I've got everything I need, love ya3
Caleb POV :
"STOP!" yelled Jake to the boys who were now looking at him.
Caleb was atill on the ground but now much more hurt and harmless.
"That's what happens when you leave without saying goodbye first. You should have thought about that before you decide to stop working for us. "
They all left the room but right before Jake could close the door a noise came from the inside. Caleb tried to formule a sentence.
"C-can.. I just make.. one call?" Caleb said his voice way more begging then he expected it to be.
"Really? Who could you call? Foster parents? Oh! That's right you've found your rich mommy. Anyway, other than that women, nobody else could care about you so who would you call?" Jake respond.
"It's none of your business" Caleb got all protective. He didn't wanted any of these boy around Hanna.
"And what tells me you're not gonna call the police? "
"Because I haven't all these years ago. "
The fact that they all remained silent, Caleb knew he had a point there. Yeah telling the police would put himself in problem but in less trouble then them. They would easily get a lot of years in prison for everything they've done. So he continued…
"Can I have my phone now? " He said in an harsh tone.
"there… But if you call the police-" Jakes said with angry in his voice.
"-I won't" He cut him. I will be able to call them later when I'll get out of this place. He thought to himself.
As soon as he got his phone, he didn't even cared about calling the police, he only wanted to talk to her. To hear her soft voice. And to know that she's alright.
Hanna's POV :
Hanna had drove for an hour only but couldn't continue to drive. She had to stop at an hotel for the night. She would of want to continue but the sleepless night she went trought since he disapeard made it really hard for Hanna to stay concentrated on the road. After getting a room, she layed on the small bed in the small apartment. The thought on Caleb being with this gang scared her. They could do anything to him.
But suddenly, her phone rang.
While picking it from her bag she thought to herself : Damn it's probably my mother who wants to kill me for not telling her this morning that I would leave. She didn't expected Caleb's pic to appear on her cellphone. It was a picture she had taken of him when he brought Hanna with him in California.
Did she already fell asleep? Things like this only happened in her dreams lately. But she wasn't dreaming, Caleb really called her.
After the shock that his call gave her, she took the call
"C-Caleb?! " She stuttered. She couldn't get herself to believe it was him.
"Hanna? " Caleb said over the phone as a sigh of relief left his lips. "I didn't know when I would be able to finally call you. "
As soon as she heard his voice, she needed to get answers now. "Where the hell are you? What happened? why didn't you called me before? it makes one week that I'm-"
"Hanna! Calm down I'll probably won't have a lot of time to talk and I don't want to lose it."
"But… are you alright? Caleb I desesperatly need to know."
"Okay… Look, I'm okay and lets just say that something got in my way back. But I can't really talk about it right now." Sh then heard some noise of people talking over the phone.
"Hanna… I have to go. I just wan-"
"Wait, you know the gang you've worked with in Allentown. Are they the one keeping you away?" She asked. She felt a single tear rolling down her cheek as the end of the conversation arrived.
He sighed briefely. "Look… Yes. But now I have to leave. I just want to tell you that I love you and I'll find a way to get back to you. Bye Hanna." Caleb said. Tears were now filling her eyes. She managed to respond "Bye… Caleb. "
And then the call ended.
She felt numb. Hanna now knew he was alive at least. She also knew where to look out for him. She was still too tired to drive, but she would never be able to sleep knowing he's near those guys. Hanna was now more nervous then ever. She started to freak out, which only made it worst. Because whenever she would feel like this, she would go at Caleb's apartment so he could comfort her.
Then she heard another noise coming from her phone. She took it out, wishing it would of been Caleb again. But all she got was an anonymous text.
Please go save Caleb and tell these guys I am the only one who as the right to torture you and your shaggy.
-A
The last thing she needed right now was another person treathening her or her boyfriend. How could –A already know about the whole gang thing? Hanna just had the comfirmation of this. –A was always one step ahead and Hanna couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't only about her, it was about her best friends and her boyfriend.
As the shocking text fell on the bed, Hanna tried to stop thinking about it to find some rest in her sleep.
