Steven Strait – Never Said Anything

Prologue

The whole night at dinner Caleb could tell that something had been bothering Sarah. Since the fight with Chase at Putnam barn she had become cold and distant. It had been gradually progressing as the days flew by but he'd tried his best to ignore it. Too many things had been happening at once and he didn't want to acknowledge the fact that he was slowly loosing her.

His mother had only become worse since everything with Chase happened. Her guilt over his father's death was one thing but now her fear of losing him as well was driving her further and further into madness. He new his addiction was going to be troublesome but he hadn't factored his fathers added powers to the equation and now feared that he wasn't going to survive it.

The need to use had been driving him insane. No matter what he did it was always there. A constant reminder of why he hated his powers. He was fighting and losing battle, every minute of every day and he new the others noticed. He felt weak; he was supposed to be the leader and voice of reason but there he was craving to use his powers like a crack fiend craving a fix.

The worst part is that he felt that that was the main reason Sarah was distant. She wouldn't have remembered everything at Putnam barn and he was grateful for that. No one should have to live with that kind of insanity but the fact that she was willing to do so for him was what made him think they would work out. He truly hoped it would and that everything would go back to the way it was before but the look on her face made him question if that were even possible.

Caleb brought his silver mustang to a stop in front of the dorms at Spenser Academy and turned off the engine. He looked over to Sarah who was looking out the window as if in a trance.

"You o.k?" He asked softly before tucking a stray strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.

"Yeah." He replied weakly

"I had a good time tonight." He said trying for any form of conversation her could get.

"Yeah." She said her eyes trailing down to her hands the rested on her lap

"What's wrong?" He asked in a concerned tone

"I just… I." Sarah voice broke as a wave of tears flooded her eyes.

"Sarah." Caleb pushed nervously

"I can't…" She shook her head

"You can't what… whatever it is Sarah you can tell me." Caleb held her hand in his for a moment before she pulled it away.

"I can't do this anymore Caleb." She said as the tears slowed and her voice took on a much stronger tone.

He new it was coming but still tried to fight it. "You can't do what anymore?"

"This," She said pointing between him and herself. "Us."

"Why?" He asked closing his eyes

"It's just not working out anymore." She said quickly

"You're lying," He said darkly. "If you're trying to break up with me Sarah at least give me a good enough reason why."

"Because I can't handle this anymore," She shouted. "I can't handle watching you kill yourself."

"What are you talking about?" He asked in denial

"Don't pretend you don't know," She said more levelly. "Ever since you've ascended you haven't been yourself. You're always on edge, always trying not to use and I can't deal with that."

"So your just going to leave." He stated

"I don't want sit back and wait til you let your power destroy you," She defended. "I don't want to be your mother eighteen years from now."

"Don't." Caleb said through clenched teeth. She new that his worst fear was to end up just like his father and had just used it against him. He'd dealt with a lot of crap in his life but never heard something so low from someone he loved.

"Don't what?" She shouted. "It's my future too Caleb."

"It's not going to come to that Sarah." He said trying to remain calm but he could feel the power in his veins rising.

"You can't promise that." She said shaking her head sadly

"We'll work it out." He practically pleaded

"No," She said looking into his eyes. "We won't."

"So that's just it?" he asked

"I'm sorry." She said as she reached for the door handle

"Yeah." He said looking out his window

"Take care of yourself Caleb." She said quietly as she climbed out of the car

"That's really no longer your concern now is it?" He asked looking at her, his face void of all emotions

"I still love you." She said as a tear slid down her face

"You sure have a funny way to show it." He said before gesturing for her to close the door.

She nodded her head sadly and pushed the door shut before walking into the large building

He wasn't sure how long he'd sat there for and he didn't really care. His one last link to the normal world had just walked out on him. He felt cold, he wished he could just feel empty but the power inside of him wouldn't allow it. He started his car and began to drive. He drove along the road in total darkness. He felt like it was his fate to end up just like his father, as much as that thought killed him. Sarah thought so, his mother thought so and he was sure his friends did to.

He didn't want them to be right. So as he drove through the darkness he promised himself that he wouldn't. No matter how strong the desire, no matter how mad he went he'd try his best to fight and live.

One thing was for sure; it was going to be tough.

Especially with what was to come.
