CALEB RIVERS

Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn) is a "bad boy" and Hanna's love interest. At first, Hanna seems to find him annoying and "sketchy" but their hatred grows to friendship once Hanna starts getting to know him. Once the school found out he had been living there, Hanna offered for him to take residence in her home. He stayed in Hanna's basement and lived in her home having to hide from her mother constantly. As he started living in Hanna's home, she found herself falling in love with him, their friendship growing stronger. To try and hide the fact that Caleb had been living there, she had to jump into the shower with him when her mother walked into the bathroom. After that awkward moment, Hanna starts avoiding him because she is afraid that he knows her feelings for him. Later, when Caleb is packed to move out of her home after the way she has treated him, they admit their feelings towards each other and kiss. One morning Caleb kisses Hanna on the neck and nearly gets caught by her mother, luckily being able to sneak out and come back in for a few more kisses with Hanna. Not too long after, however, Hanna's mother catches Caleb and her making out in the kitchen and figures out that he has been living in the basement, and kicks him out which makes Hanna furious. Because Caleb has no where else to go he and Hanna camp out and that night Hanna loses her virginity to him. Then, after Hanna yells at her mother the next morning she agrees to let Caleb live in their guest room for a few weeks. However, right after seeing how well Hanna and her mother treat him, Caleb is seen making a phone call where he says "I can't do this anymore, its over, I'm out." In the next episode you find out that Jenna paid Caleb to spy on Hanna and search her house for a key that Alison apparently left behind. When Hanna's friends tell her this she kicks him out, ignoring him when he tries to explain that once he realized that his feelings for her, he quit. He also states that he hadn't known Hanna at the time when he started the job and needed the money since he was homeless and that he is honestly and truly sorry. After failing to get Hanna's forgiveness, he decides to leave Rosewood to go to Arizona, in search of his birth mother who abandoned him at his aunt's house when he was five. Before he leaves, he writes a letter to Hanna saying that he truly loves her, he is sorry and that if she'll forgive him he'll stay in Rosewood. He goes to Hanna's house to give her the letter but instead ends up talking to Hanna's mother who says that he should go find Hanna and give it to her in person. However, at the festival Hanna hides from him and he is left with no other choice but to give his letter to Mona, who rips it up and throws it in the trash never telling Hanna that he tried to say goodbye.
