EDITED

Chapter 16- Caleb
I left. There was no use. My words were of no use at all. She would not listen. I have to show her that I am still good. But how will I do it? Those drugs got me addicted in just two days and will I give up my newly made amazing life again?

But wasn't she the whole purpose of all the stuff that I did? Now that I finally have a chance to prove myself to her an get her, can just let it go? Shouldn't I like fight for her because she is who I love right? Huh....

This isn't gonna be easy but I have to start today. I have to make sure I get away from my habits. I drove home. So well I took out the cigarette box from my pocket and put it in the dustbin. Even the other powered drugs, I flushed them down the toilet.

"Adele I'm home!" I announced.

"Yea whatever." She yelled back.

Ohkay. Now I have a sister to ask forgiveness for too. Great. This new lifestyle did more damage than I thought but it gave me the temporary fun and high. I made pasta in white sauce. Why do you ask? Well, one thing I know about my twin is that under any circumstances she loves food.

"Could I come in Del?" I asked knocking on the door.

"No, just mind your own business." She answered. I went in anyway.

"I have pasta for you." I smiled.

"I'd rather die than consume that pasta." She huffed.

"Del I'm sorry girl. I'm your twin, I should have understood. I'm sorry."

"Caleb you changed. So much that I couldn't recognize you. You were being a jerk and I was scared." She said and hugged me.

"I know Del, I know. But don't worry. I'm going back to my old ways. I'm going to quit all of the nonsense drugs and smoking and stuff. Even if I know getting over it is difficult, I'll do it."

"Do you want me to talk to a doctor?" Del asked.

"No Del. I'll get over it. It's not like a major addiction because I just took all this for 2-3 days."

"Okay but if you feel you need help, tell me. I'll call the doctor." Del said.

"Yea, don't worry." I promised.

"Can I have the pasta?" Del grinned.

"All yours."

She ate the pasta and I made sandwich for myself. We both agreed not to tell mom and dad about anything that happened these days except Del falling of course. I washed the dishes and the front door opened. Mom and Dad were here!

"Caleb, Del we're home!" Dad announced.

"Mom, dad." I smiled and hugged the two.

"Where's your sister?" Mom asked.

"Up in her room." I answered.

"Del come down!" Dad yelled.

"She can't dad."

"Why? What happened kid?" Dad asked.

"He ankle is not okay. She fell while doing the cheerleading routine."

"Oh lord!" Mom exclaimed and all three of us went upstairs.

After we had a long chat as to what mom and dad did and about the trip and about how they got lost, mom and dad had dinner. Once everything was done, I moved into my room and shut the door. Finally peace time. I can rest.

But I still couldn't. There was a constant pull in my body. A feeling that wouldn't leave me. Let me tell you that it wasn't pleasant. It was anything but nice. The feeling wanted to make me puke and most prominently wanted me to smoke.

But I couldn't give in to the feeling. I stood in the balcony with the thin chilly breeze hitting me. The cold weather helped a bit. Sleeping was the last thing on my mind because I knew sleep wouldn't come. So I just stood there, enjoying the cold. That's when I saw her on the opposite balcony.

"Why are you up so late?" She asked.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"I was doing my homework."

"And just wasn't getting sleep."

"What's wrong Caleb?" She asked.

"Nothing, I'm fine." I said and went back inside shutting my balcony's door. Then suddenly someone knocked at the balcony door.

"Delilah? I said I'm fine." I said opening the balcony door.

"You don't look fine."

"How did you even manage to climb up?"

"I just did. Now will you tell me what's up with you?"

"Why do you care? I'm just like the people you don't like right?"

"Caleb I saw you. I saw you throw the cigarette packets in the dustbin."

"Oh. Yes. I'm trying to bring a change. I don't wanna be someone you hate. I hate it that I disgust you." I confessed.

"Caleb I never knew Michael was into drugs and stuff. If I did, I'd never date him."

"You didn't?" I was really astonished.

"But why did you suddenly take up all this and now are giving it up?" She asked.

This was it, the moment.

"Delilah, I don't care what you think about me after this but this has to happen now. I like you. I really do. It's been very little time but you made me fall for you Lila. That's why I left you when you said you like Michael, that's why I joined basketball and decided to change because you like his type. But after today, I couldn't bear it. I couldn't bear to watch you in danger and so I did what I had too. Now that I know you hate his type, I will change again Delilah. This is not because I want to be how you want me to be. It is because I have accepted the fact that if you really like me, you will like my true self, my nerdy self, what makes makes me me. But I'm glad I tried to change because of you. At least I now have a new way to live life. I'm not going to try and be popular and nor am I going to be invisible. I'm going to play basketball but not do all the drugs rubbish. I'm going to attend parties but not going neglect my marks. Because this is the actual me and I love you Lila."

She did something I never expected. She kissed me.
