Caleb McDaniel x f!reader
“DID YOU actually ever like me?” she asked her voice breaking as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Of course, I love you,” he sighed, holding her face. “I was coming back here to—“ he was cut off by her smacking his hands off of her, “Bullshit,” she shook her head.
“If you actually loved me why did you kiss her?” Y/n asked, “If it was always me why did you sleep on top of her,”
“It didn’t mean anything, I want to be with you,” he sighed, his eyes watering. “It was just Casa, just a test,”
“Casa is only a test if you want it to be a test, Caleb,” she screamed at him, mascara smudges under her eyes.
“I don’t know why I did it, I don’t know,” he shouted back at her, “I regret it so much you don’t understand. I would do anything,”
“Cut the bullshit, you did what you did. You knew what you were doing and you knew how much I liked you too,” She shook her head walking off the dock.
“Nah, Y/n don’t be like that, come on,” Caleb sighed, grabbing her arm. “It doesn’t have to be like this,”
“This is your doing, you kissed that girl after telling me you loved me and that you wanted to close it off, so don’t start this bullshit that it’s doesn’t have to be like this, YOU made it like this,” she shouted pointing her finger at him her anger obvious. “Don’t speak to me again in here ok?”
Her face was cold as she stared harshly into his eyes, she turned away leaving him standing there hopeless. He sat down realising how much he had hurt her, his chest hurt with regret.
“Maybe it’ll fix itself, but I’ve been saying that every night”
Caleb sat in soul ties, he spent the whole night, replaying his actions. Why did he have to ruin everything?
Bryce approached the boy sitting next to him and putting a hand on his shoulder, “I know you like her a lot bro—“
“No I love her, like there’s no one else in the world I want to be with,” he cut Bryce off, burying his head in his hands.
“Bro you can’t expect her to be okay with you kissing other girls and coming back and expecting everything to be fine and normal,” Bryce sighed.
“I want to be with her so bad, like there’s no one else, but I just keep hurting her,” he said, wiping at his eyes watching her from afar, “She’s so beautiful, she needs someone who makes her happy all the time,”
He watched as she smiled at the girls but it didn’t fully reach her eyes. His heart hurt, that he was the reason for her red eyes and fake smile, all the guilt consuming him.
“But you’ve seen me truly happy, so you know right now I’m not,”
Caleb approached Y/n, “I know you said never to speak to you again in here. But I need to tell you something,” he pleaded, “I promise it won’t be long,”
They sat down on the swing, Caleb fidgeting with his fingers, Y/n looking at him expectantly, “Ok, I don’t know how to say this,” he paused taking a deep breath, “I’m gonna leave the villa today. And before you say anything I’ve already made my decision,”
Y/n tried to protest but Caleb continued, “I can’t be here with you knowing how much I have hurt you,” he paused tears coming out of his eyes, “I love you so much, but I love you too much to stay here and impact you from moving on from me,”
“I’m not good for you. You’re so beautiful, so smart and you’re hilarious, I don’t deserve you,” he continued, “So I want to give you the opportunity to find someone who will look after you and never hurt you the way I have,”
She nodded mouthing a thank you to him, leaning in to hug him tears streaming down her face. “I’ll miss you,” she whispered as she pulled away.
“I’ll miss you too,” he sighed wiping his eyes before he turned announcing to the rest of the villa, “Guys can everyone come to the fire pit please,”
All the islanders gathered around the fire pit, confused looks all around.
“So, I just haven’t been having a great time in here the last few days, I’ve hurt people I care about a lot in here and I just can’t pretend that it’s not eating away at me,” he said his voice breaking, “So I’m going to leave the villa today,”
The islanders all had tears streaming down their faces as Caleb packed up his things, and said his goodbyes.
Y/n leaned into Aniya’s shoulder, sobs wracking out of her as he walked out, “It’s okay baby,” Aniya soothed the girl hugging her.
She sat on the edge of the steps at the exit to the villa, her head in her hands her body shaking with sobs.
“If loving me means letting go and wishing me the best…. I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less”
Y/n was called into the confession room by the producers.
“How do you feel about you and Caleb and your journey in here?” they asked.
“I think me and Caleb…. our connection was amazing. I fell in love with him. But we just weren’t good for each other and I think we liked each other too much that it became toxic,” she sighed wiping at her eyes. “But maybe in another life things would’ve of been different and we could love each other forever.”
