Pregnant Little Liars

Meant For Each Other

The next day
*Hanna's POV*

Once again I spent last night tossing and turning. I kept thinking about my life without Caleb verses my life with Caleb. If I don't give Caleb a second chance, my child will grow up without knowing its father, but if I give Caleb another chance, my baby and I might end up getting hurt again.

I sigh and close my eyes for a brief second. Once I open them, I catch a glimpse of my dresser on the other side of the room. I don't know why, but I feel compelled to get up and walk over to it. On the top of the dresser is a picture of Caleb and I together. I smile sadly and pick it up. Then I suddenly remember something from when Caleb and I first met. Something I have forgotten all about!

I go over to my closet, and pull out a drawer. When Caleb and I first started dating, we made a scrapbook of all of our memories together. I pull the thick blue book out of the drawer and walk over to my bed.

Once I'm positioned comfortably, I run my index finger across the blue textured front cover. I take a deep breath, and open the book. Tears blur my vision. I smile sadly, and take a minute to think about all the great times Caleb and I had together...

As I come to the end of the book, I close it, and sob heavily into my pillow. I hug the book tightly, and let myself cry. Just then my bedroom door opens.

"Hanna, Is everything alright?" My mom asks coming over.

I look up at her with teary eyes.

"No it's not. I've made a terrible mistake, and I don't know how to fix it." I sob hysterically.

My mom puts a comforting hand on my shoulder, and I sob into her. After a few minutes, my crying dies down. I rub my eyes, and stand up.

"I need to go." I say suddenly, and without another word, I race down the stairs and out the door.

Rain patters lightly on the windshield. I stop at a red light, and put my head in my hands. Please don't let it be too late, I think to myself.

I pull into the parking lot of Caleb's loft unit minutes later and jump out of my car into the, now pouring, rain. At this point, the sky is getting dark. I run inside as fast as I can, and trudge up the stairs in a rush.

As soon as I reach Caleb's loft, I knock frantically on the door. I wait a few seconds before knocking again, a little harder this time. No one answers. I knock once more, even harder, and to my surprise the door creaks open.

"Caleb?" I call stepping inside. The room is dark, and silent.

"Caleb?" I call again, walking deeper into the loft. Still no reply. I make my way into the kitchen in search for a light. Thunder crashes outside the window, soon followed by a radiant strike of lightning. The lightning lights up the sky, and for a split second, I can see everything in the loft.

A piece of paper lies on the kitchen counter. I pick it up with trembling hands. It's a receipt for a plane ticket to Montecito California. The plan is supposed to leave at 9:30 pm. I glance at the clock.

"Oh no! It's 8:45 already!"

I stuff the receipt into my purse, and race out of the loft in lightning speed. I thrust open the front doors to the unit, and run out into the pouring rain. Thunder clashes again, louder then before. I slosh in the puddles of rain forming on the asphalt. I sheild my head with my arm, and make my way to my car in the pouring rain storm.

Once I reach my car, I pull open the driver door, and hop inside. Then I turn the key in the ignition, pull my seatbelt over my wet clothing, and drive away to the airport.

Thirty minutes later, I pull into a parking spot in front of the airport. I jump out of the car and run inside as if my life depends on it, which it does in a way. I reach the double doors and tug them open forcefully.

Once I'm safely inside the airport I look around. People are frantically running every which way, clutching suitcases, and brief cases by their sides.
I run to the nearest gate, and ask the flight attendant where the plan leaving for California is boarding. She hands me a slip of paper that says 'gate 35'.

That's all the way on the other side of the airport! I glance at the nearest clock on the wall. It reads 9:20 pm. I have exactly ten minutes to make it to gate 35 before the love of my life leaves forever!

I frantically run around desperately searching for gate 35. Tears flood my eyes and spill over onto my cheeks. I can't help it. I'm running out of time.

Finally, I see it. The blue lit up sign with the words 'Gate 35' on it. I breathe a sigh of relief, and push past the crazy mob of people.

"Excuse me" I say shoving my way through the crowd. "Excuse me."

I reach the gate just in time. The flight attendant calls out over her speaker,

"Flight 157 to Montecito California please start boarding onto the plane."

I look around the area, breathing heavily. Where is Caleb?

Then I see him.

He grabs his bag, and stands up from sitting on a bench.

"Caleb!" I call out, crying tears of joy as I rush towards him. I leap into his arms, and wrap my arms around his neck. He buries his face deep into my overcoat, and embraces me in a hug. I lean up and press my lips firmly into his. He kisses me back. I let my tongue slide in his, and explore his mouth. He does the same. I fall deeper and deeper into the kiss. Everything around us stops. Nothing matters anymore. I don't wish to be anywhere else but right here in Caleb's comforting arms.

"I've missed you so much." I say. wiping the tears from my eyes.

Caleb smiles at me "Me too. What made you come back?"

I stare longingly into his eyes, which glisten with tears, and caress his cheek with my hand.

"I was wrong about us. We are meant for each other." I say smiling up at him.

He smiles back, and kisses me again. In this moment, there's not a doubt in my mind that I had made the right choice by coming back.
