Mornings

Every morning us an adventure. Do I want to get up and at 'em? Or do I want to stay in my PJ's until training? Ever since I found out I only have a week left with Caelum, I've been up extra early to spend as much time with him as possible. Today I try something that scares the heck out of me.

"Caelum?" I whisper outside his door. I'm changed already, but I didn't do my makeup yet. Caelum stirs a bit but he doesn't wake. I smile at him. I slowly tip toes over to his bed and climb in. Caelum immediately pulls me into him. I kiss him on the cheek and I fall asleep with my body against his.

"Morning, Scar..." He mumbles.

"Morning..." I smile against his chest like I did the last time I was in his bed. I know he isn't that muscular, but he isn't totally boney. I can feel his very slight abs under his shirt. Just barely though. That's okay, I don't need some super fit guy with a 6-pack and a hot body. I just want a true heart.

"It's 10:30. We need to get dressed," he points out. I heave a big sigh and nod. I slowly pull away, being sure to give him a kiss on the cheek before I go. I wish I knew if he loved me, then everything would be so much easier.

Once again, I am ready before Caelum is. Typical. He's probably the slowest changer I have ever met. I check my phone once again, even though I know I'll just get more texts from Spencer.

'Will u b my gf agn?'

'Anwr me asap ...'

'Stop ignoring me ... '

'i noe u stll luv me ...'

Why is he doing this to me? I have to reply to him. I can't let him think I love him when I love someone else.

'Spencer i dont luv u. im srry but ive moved on ... plz forgive me ... i stll wnt 2 b ur friend ...' Right after I press send Caelum comes up to me and takes my hand.

"You haven't touched your phone in days...what happened?" I hold back a tear. It hurts to turn down Spencer. It hurts even more to lie to Caelum.

"I'll tell you after training. We're late."

"You guys are 5 minutes late. Hurry up and get to your training rooms." I rush to my side of the room. "Ready?"

I pull my right glove higher up my wrist. "Ready." A red target pops up out of the ground a bit to my right. I extend my left hand out and dig into my brain. My brain starts to rock back and forth and I feel a bit of a migrane. I feel shaking in my body. My blood is rushing and my adrenaline is pumping. The target disintegrates.

The next target is smack dab right in front of me. I extend my right hand but my head is spinning far too much to create another earthquake. I forgot how much it sucks to not have a move mastered. I grunt in frustration as my vision reddens and I see a big hole in the middle of the target where the heart would be. Nailed it.

I know the third target is the last one. Of course it comes up to my far left. It's all or nothing. My head is still spinning but I think I can manage one more earthquake. My body is still exhilarated and ready to go. The feeling of magic is unbelievable. Tingles fill my fingertips as I slowly raise my right hand. It's time.

I feel the rumbling path in the floor as the earthquake travels. I redden my vision once again, hitting the head and heart of the dummy target. The rumbles meet the target and it literally explodes. Oh yes, magic is the best thing ever.

I take a quick glance over to Caelum to see how e is doing. Thank goodness for the glass wall in between us because I can see the tsunami forming in his hand. He flicks his wrist and is goes flying. Remarkable. I wonder if I look that epic when I do magic...

Just then the glass wall opens and the doors outside open. Robert enters with an amused face. "I've never seen such power being used so expertly by a couple of ki- ...I mean young adults. Good job, guys!" I smile proudly. Caelum walks over to me and takes both my hands. He just smiles and I just smile back. Even if I had words to say, I wouldn't say them. This moment is absolutely perfect.

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

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong yet?" Caelum asks me as I walk over to him with a bowl of popcorn. He is sitting on the couch with a book about something weird like fire ants.

"Spencer has been texting me..." I admit.

"Are you getting back together with him? I understand if you are, I mean, I know that you used to love him a lot and then you broke up with him, but that could have been out of confusion. Maybe you still love him. If that's the case you should get back together with him. You would make a good couple..." Caelum rambles on.

"Caelum..." I set down the bowl and sit down next to him one the couch. I give him a long and passionate kiss. "I never loved him...and I'm not getting back together with him." I whisper, our lips still millimetres apart. He smiles to me and kisses my lightly.

"Good...I don't know what I would do without you. You're my whole world. Without you I wouldn't know that the sun rises and falls. Without you I wouldn't know right from left and left from right...and most importantly, without you I wouldn't know why I should still be alive on this planet...because me without you is like the sun without the moon. We may be opposites, but we rely on each other. We may be opposites...but opposites attract."
