I had was staying with my Aunt when I first saw Caleb, he was buying clothes with his sister at my Aunt's store. I was dusting when she asked me, "hey, look at how much fun she is having," referring to Caleb's sister who was giggling at her brothers dramatic show of his discomfort, "you should go get some clothes to try on. What the point of having a shop if my favorite niece doesn't take some outfits every now and then?" In response I lightly shook my head, "no thank-you aunty, I'm dusting, besides if I stop now I won't remember where I left off, and you know how much that bothers me," smiling at my respoce she say, "very well I'll just have to pick out some stuff for you. Your still an 11 right?" I chuckle slightly at her excitment, "yes ma'am, but that's really not necessary I still have clothes from my last visit I have yet to wear," was my reply, refering to the abundance of clothes she had given me the month before.
During this exchange Caleb and his sister had moved closer, amused by our conversation. I nor aunty realized as she continued in a lower voice, "Beside you need some clothes that will really wow the handsome men like the one over there," as she says this she nodds in Caleb's direction. I let out a gasp and smile at her forwardness and in a shocked shushed voice, I lightly scold her, "Aunty!! He could have heard that! Besides you know I don't get into that kinda stuff." She looks at me for a secomd before speaking in a serious tone, "you know you can't let that rule over you forever." With that I looked at her and spoke sternly, "Aunty, I'm not letting the past rule me, I learned my lesson. I'm not going to make the same mistake again that's all," after a few moments of silence I spoke again, "well, that was serious. How has paw been?" She looked at me and smiled, "he's been good, if you want you can drive out to see him tomorrow, and catch up." I thought about it for a moment, "yeah I will do that, just to make sure he doesn't need any help with anything." After that Caleb and his sister were ready to check out, so aunty did that while I put away the cleaning supplies.
The next day I went out to see my paw. He was good, I helped him with one of his trailers for his tractor and was on my way back when I got a flat. I pulled over to change it, and popped the trunk. Right after I got the tire off someone pulled off in front of my car and got out. I walked up to meet them. We talked for a second, they were just making sure I didn't need any help, and then they left. Turning around I saw the guy from my aunts store getting out of his car. Walking up to him I smiled and greeted him, "hey, you were at my aunts store yesterday right?" He smiled and nodded, "Caleb," he stuck his hand out. I shook it and responded, "Fee, well Sarafina, but people call me Fee." He smile widened a little and he said, "do you need any help, or anything," as he said this he motioned toward my tire. I looked at it and said, "nah, I can do the basics. Under it's where I get lost." He laughs, but it dies off after a second, "okay, well look Imma need you to get in the car," when I look back at him, he has a gun out and is motioning me towards his car. I pause and look from him to my car and sigh, "okay, but can I turn off my car first cause I don't want to pay for a new one, and put on the spare?" He looked kinda bewildered first, but after a second he nodded, so I went and turned it off, and fixed my tire. After it was done I put the flat and the jack in the trunk and locked it, hidding the keys under a peice of broken road on the opposite side of the car that Caleb was on. Getting up I walked over to his passenger door and pulled, "it's locked," I say in a deadpan voice. He looks embarrassed as he unlocks the doors.
Once we're both in the car he looks at me and asks, "why are you so calm right now?" To which I responded in a sharp tone, "ever heard the saying dont look a gift horse in the mouth? I'm cooperating, does it matter why?" He glares at me for a second then he smiles like he remembered he had some ice cream at home, "well I can't let you see where we're going so...," and with that he hit me on the side of my head, causing me to black out.
