One True Love

Chapter 13

I was about to fall in to a deep sleep when I heard Caleb hop in bed next to me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and he was really warm so I laid my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat as I fell soundly asleep. I heard him mumble something in his sleep but I didn't hear it I was already halo asleep. I was in the middle of a deep sleep when I heard the door open and when they came in the tapped me very gently and whispered "I need to talk to you right now it's urgent." Then at that point I knew it was Will's voice and I didn't want to argue so I got up sleepily wiggling out of Caleb's tight grip following him out in to the hallway. "Is everything okay Will?" I asked half asleep "Well actually no, see the thing is that when Juliet kissed me in the cheek yesterday or even when she kissed me today or even touched me the spark was just almost completely gone. It's like it just washed away with the ocean or something. I know why and it's because I like another girl but she is dating someone. Do you have any advice for me?" Will asked me completely spilling everything out to me in one minute. I was still trying to process all of it and finally came to a conclusion. "Well Will, I think the only thing you can do is maybe try to be her friend and not get in between their relationship because she could be totally happy with her boyfriend now. Just show her you care and maybe even tell her you like her so maybe if she really does like you she might break up with him for you. It all depends on the girl Will, just follow your heart." I told Will as I hugged him tightly knowing he needed the comfort. He immediately hugged me back but he almost squeezed me to death. "Will..... a little..... too..... tight." I said squeezing the words out of me, man that boy was strong. "Oh sorry!" Will said to me while nervously laughing. I was about to go back to bed when while grabbed my arm I looked at him and then my arm. "Well there is one more thing I need to tell you Lily and after this you will probably hate me." Will looked so nervous at that moment I felt so bad for him but he said it was important so he has to tell me. "I could never hate you, you are one of my best friends I love you." I told Will reassuringly rubbing his shoulder with my hand. "Well that's sort of what I wanted to tell you, I.... I love you Lily as in more than a friend and I know that you are happy with Caleb and everything but I can't help it. It started yesterday and I'm sorry that you hate me now but I just wanted to get that off of my chest and if you don't want to talk to me anymore that's okay, I understand." Will blurted out and I went wide eyed and he looked just as surprised that he said that as me. That's when I heard a door slam shut and then I heard crying but it sounded like two different cries at once. I told Will to come with me and that's when Juliet was crying on the coach and then I went in my room and Caleb was balling his eyes out into his pillow. "Babe, why are you crying talk to me?" I didn't understand why he was crying because Juliet is the only one affected here by anything. He looked up at me still crying with puffy eyes and red tear stained cheeks it broke my heart to see him like this. "Your going to leave me for Will." Caleb said to me in a whisper so quiet I could barely hear him but I somehow still managed. The fact that he thought I would do something like that to him hurt me a little bit but I wasn't mad at him. I was anything but mad at him. "What makes you think o would do that you are the best boyfriend in the world and I don't like Will like that. Will is my best friend, it's just like how Gabe is my brother, and Juliet and Tina are my sisters. But you on the other hand are my boyfriend and nothing anyone ever does could ever change that." I said to Caleb while I grabbed his hand and these words weren't fake either I meant every single one of them from the bottom of my heart. I love Caleb and I really just need him to understand that. "Really?" He asked but it was so faint I couldn't really hear him. I nodded and I kissed him and he kissed me back. When we ended the kiss I smiled and he returned it, damn his smile can light up the world and his laugh was contagious, he was my Mr. Perfect I found mine when I was only 13 and I lived Caleb. On other news Christmas was in three days and we already had a tree because we will be living with our care giver by then since none of our moms can move here. I bought Tina and Juliet and I friendship brackets and I bought Will a hockey stick autographed by his favorite player, the I bought Caleb a baseball with a heartfelt message written by me on really nice handwriting on it. Then for Gabe I bought him an assortment of candys in a bucket but they are all candys form the first day we met.
~Flashback to 1st grade~
It was Valentine's Day and we were all giving out candies in the boxes I finished giving mine all out so I sat at my desk and waited for other people to come to mine. "Hi!" I said cheerfully but that's when I realized I haven't met this kid yet since he just hands out with his friends Wilbourg, Will (not the one so far), Johnny, and George. "Hi! I'm Gabe what's your name?" He asked and seemed to be just as happy as me. "I'm Lily, want to be friends?" I asked him very happily smiling as wide as can be. "Yes, can I put some candy in your box?" He asked me I nodded and put in a bunch of candy. "Since you are my last box you get all of the leftovers which is a whole bag full." He said shaking the bag and we laughed he dumped all the candy into my box and all the other girls looked jealous. I didn't know why until 3rd grade when apparently everyone had a crush on him he was some sort of knight in shining armor for most people. To me he was my best friend and that's what we agreed on try day after we met. We talked more and more each day and he slowly drifted away from his other friends, but at lunch I became good friends with his friends too.
~Flashback Over back to present day~
I loved that day, that was one of the best days of my life. It was defiantly a huge turning point for me thigh that was the first year I was really god friends with a guy and I loved it. I missed so much drama and I was happy about it. That's when I cuddled up with Caleb again but tighter than usual i looked over at him and there was a year still falling like a waterfall a really small pace.  I wiped his tear off with my thumb and we looked at each other. "Please never leave me." Caleb whispered to me in a very faint voice. "I promise I will never leave you I love you. Never get upset because of something like this ever again, promise?" I asked Caleb, I couldn't bear to see him upset over me ever again I never want I hurt him again. "I promise." Caleb reassured me and we fella asleep happily together once again but his time a lot tighter. I think this mini obstacle made us one thousand times of a stronger.
