Before I Die

Caleb's POV

I think i'm falling for her.. for Lea. Well i always have loved her, just maybe not like this... I just loved the way she smiles, and the way she playfully insults me, and how she can make you laugh at your worst times. But what impresses me the most is how she is taking all of this. How does she do it? How does Lea act as if nothing is wrong, she clearly knows that she doesn't have allot of time left, but yet she acts like everything is perfect. I just... can't think straight. The fact that the one person who i may actually ..love. Won't be here with me forever. Just stapp!! I tell myself, life in the moment. Lea says all she wants is to be happy and that's what i must do i guess... Just then she walks through my bedroom door.

"Hey Caleb, I was wondering if you could give me a ride to Starbucks, I kinda applied for a job there and well i need to train.."

"Yea, sure thing. But, why do you want a job at Starbucks?" I asked

"Just part of my bucket list," She says pointing to her piece of paper in her hand.

Well, we leave the house and we head for my car, I take her to the nearest Starbucks and drop her off.

"Thanks Caleb, i'll make it up to you later." she calls out walking into the little store/restaurant? What do you even call Starbucks?

Lea's POV

"Hi, um i applied for a job here and they told me to stop by for training" I said to the first person i saw wearing a green apron.

"Well, you must be Lea! I'm Cara the manager. Let me get the guy who is training you.." She says walking away getting 'the guy'. Cara was actually really pretty she looked to be like 27 or something and had longish brown hair. I saw her come back with some guy that looked very familiar... Have i seen him somewhere? Probably not..

"This is Dylan, he's going to train you," she pointed to the guy and just casually walked away. Dylan was giving me this weird look, then suddenly his face brightened up.

"Hey, I know you. Wait, were you the girl who spilled soda on me?" He was doing this really cute thing where he raised just one eyebrow. So we had met... I kinda remember him now. I had tripped over my shoelace and spilled soda on his shoes...

"Yeaa... I'm sorry about that. I really am" I gave him my best look of sympathy.

"It's alright, but we should really get to your training." He said as we walked to the kitchen, if you could even call it that. Dylan at first just showed me around the whole area, explaining where everything was. It was just so overwhelming.. how much stuff they have. Like they have so much, milk, ice and whipped cream. Don't even get me started on the whipped cream. There were literally billions of cans of my favorite things on the planet, and i can't eat any. Life sucks. After he showed me around, Dylan showed me the basic stuff. And well i almost always forgot something, like sometimes i forgot to add the ice or milk, gosh i'm a fail. I'd already spent 2 hours training and gosh was i exhausted. I didn't think it would be this hard. But overall me and Dylan had, had a good time. We laughed at my mistakes and made tons of jokes. He wasn't that bad of a guy .I had sat down at a booth when Dylan came and sat down across from me with 2 drinks. He had 2 mocha fraps, those are my favorite things ever.

" Here take one, so how'd you like it? Working?" He said while drinking some of his frap.

"It was alright, I didn't think it would be this exhausting tho, but working with you was fun."

"Same here, everyone here is usually soooo boring, but you are actually fun." he said smiling at me.

"So that guy, the one you were with at the movies, are you guys, you know uhh dating?" he was looking down and playing with his hands now.

"Who Caleb? No, we are just best friends, really good friends. Why?" I wasn't going to lie, at one point i did like Caleb, but come on why would he like me? He was the captain of the Lacrosse Team (A/N you know how Caleb is Mike from PLL well Mike plays Lacrosse, so yanno) and well i'm just his shy best friend who does nothing with her life. We had no chance, really.

"Just wondering, so would you like to hangout sometime? You were really fun today." he said as his smile returned to his face.

"Yea sure, Shit, i'm going to be late for curfew. I need to get going, Thanks for everything by Dylan!" I walked out and was headed towards my car. But then i remembered, I didn't come here in my car, Caleb drove me here. I'll just call Nikki and ask her to pick me up. "Shit, where is it?" i said to myself while digging through my purse.

"Looking for this?" Dylan held my phone with a cheeky grin on his face. I just nodded,

"Yess!! Oh my god thank you so much!!"

"Wait, you don't get it back unless you say Dylan is the sexiest man alive."

"No."

"I guess someone doesn't want their phone"

"Fine, Dylan is the sexiest man alive. Can i have my phone now?"

"Fineee... " he handed me the phone just sticking his tongue out at me, gosh he was such a lil goof ball.

"Thanks," I said walking away dialing Nikki's number. She was here within 3 minutes.

"So, how'd it go?"

"i'm exhausted. But, i made a friend;acquaintance? I don't know.."

"Boy or Girl, give me all the details."

"What are you my mom? And boy, his name is Dylan."

"Ooohh, is he cute?"

"Well, you could say that."

Dylan actually was kinda cute, he was really tall (well compared to me, everyone's taller than me.. i'm only 5') like almost a foot taller than me. And his hair was perfect, just styled perfectly the right way, don't even get me started on those eyes. Yes they were brown, but they were just so pretty and ahhh!!

"Lea, Lea. We're here. Someone, must really like Dylan."

"Shut up, no one asked you. Thanks for the ride."

I entered the house and expected the yelling. My parents kept going on and on about how i need to obey the rules and a bunch of other crap. I just nodded my head and left for my room. I love my parents i truly do, but i just don't have time for their crap. I've got allot on my mind....

Then i got a text...

From: The sexiest man alive

Hi :)

How on earth did he get my number?

-------------------------

Okay so i was wondering.. who do you ship? Or who would be better together Lea and Caleb or Lea and Dylan? I'm kinda stuck... Well I hope you liked this chapter. ILYSM ;)
