Authors note: This is my first fanfiction so please review I will always need help getting better. I am currently part of a project to write a season two of TSC so please read it if you get a chance :D.

I will try and update once every week but failing that it will be once every other week so please be patient with me.

I do not own any of the characters or the secret circle if I did it would not have been cancelled!

Luckily for the residents of Chance harbour it had been an extremely hot summer and seemed to be continuing that way. It was only two weeks into the summer but the last week of the school year had been a build up to the amazing summer they had had so far. It was also lucky that Faye Chamberlain had a few good people to spend her summer with. She had spent a good few days just hanging around with Melissa, the two seemed to have drifted again but the two had spent a three solid days with each other. First they had gone out for the night, getting into the only decent nightclub in Chance Harbour because of the group they had slipped into. They spent the next day getting over their hangovers and just doing things all normal teenage girls should be doing at the weekend. Then Melissa had stayed over again that night before Faye's mom, Dawn, had taken them to school the next day and neither of them had cars and they were too lazy to walk. She had also been spending a fair amount of time with Jake, he had started meeting her after school offering her and Melissa a ride to where ever they wanted. Faye had been so grateful that Melissa and Jake were making the effort to spend time together, it wasn't as if the two hated each other or even disliked one another they just never seemed to talk. But now they were spending time together at the boat house after school and both Melissa and Jake were fine with Faye having to split her time with the two, it was exhausting.

Today was Jake day, he was sat in her garden at the table reading through a dusty book that had most of his attention and hadn't gotten any of Faye's. She looked over at her now boyfriend, they tended not to use those labels for each other but it's what they were, from her spot on the grass. The Chamberlain house was reasonably sized and had the perfect sized garden for the occupants that lived there, decking, grass and a path were all there making the image of the perfectly normal school principal's house. If they were honest neither of the women who lived there were normal and neither were a lot of their guests, including the boy who was currently sat reading at the table.

Faye was happy just led on the grass soaking in the rays of the sun, but something had been on her mind for a few days, tipping her head to the side she looked over at Jake
"You know, I think Diana had the right idea" she told him, not knowing if she would get a response or not, Usually she would be a bit peeved that Jake wasn't giving her any attention but she was pretty happy just led there sunbathing to complain.
"hmmmmm" he mumbled in reply not looking up from his book but proving he was actually listening to her.
"It might be a nice idea to get out of Chance harbour for a few days, maybe a week or two" she said turning her head back to its original position and not seeing the look Jake was now giving her, having finally removed his attention from his book.
"And you decided all this in the last few minutes?" Jake asked his full attention on Faye.
"A holiday away from Chance Harbour and the drama would be good. I mean I know these last few weeks have been fun and all, but everything here has been drama since Cassie showed up and screwed around with our lives" she said her tone slightly irritated "a few days away from Dark princess one will definitely do me the world of good" she said quietly. She knew they all had every right to hate Cassie, as soon as Cassie came they had to bind the circle and once they bound the circle demons and witch hunters had come after them and they had lost Nick. Cassie should have just stayed away.
"So what do you suggest?" Jake asked her finally standing up and moving away from the table, before walking over to where Faye was lying. He quickly took off his shirt and lay on the grass next to her.

Once he was settled she shrugged her shoulders "I just think it would be good to get away for a couple of days" she told him casually although inside she was praying he would go for the idea "I think I need to get away from here, my mom has been smothering me since she had to save us from the witch hunters and getting out of town and showing her that I am safe and she doesn't need to be hanging around me constantly would be a bonus!"
Jake frowned slightly in thought "a road trip could be fun" he said sounding slightly reserved "just pack some things and drive, no planning just spur of the moment decisions" he suggested, when he had left two years ago it had started off as a road trip, he had just needed to clear his head and get away from everything. Then he had met Isaac and his road trip had turned into him becoming a witch hunter and planning to kill the people he now cared the most about.

"That could work" Faye said thoughtfully pulling Jake from his thoughts "pack a bag and go?" she asked looking at him led next to her, when he nodded she smiled slightly "we should leave now" she told him "before my mom hears and chains me to her wrist" she told him, part teasing and part serious. When Jake shook his head she pouted,
"You need to let your mom know" he told her then was cut off,
"I could just leave her a note, it's not as if she could come after us" Faye told him, she was always the more rebellious one.
"And..." Jake said trying to continue on as if she hadn't interrupted him "we need to let the rest of the circle know, in case anything happens" he said looking at Faye and seeing her give a huge sigh.
" Kill joy" she muttered a small smirk appearing on her lips knowing he would have heard her,
"Oh really?" he asked before he was suddenly on top of her, pinning her to the floor with her arms secured by one of his hands over her head. Faye looked up at him waiting to see what he was going to do next, when he didn't do anything but watch her for a few seconds, his eyes travelling up and down her body for the first time since she had greeted him at the front door, she started chewing on her bottom lip knowing it drove him crazy. When Jake's eyes reached Faye's face again he immediately saw what she was doing and leant down to kiss her, the kiss quickly turned heated at some point Jake had let go of Faye's arms so that he could run his hands over her skin that had been heated by the sun. Faye's arms quickly slid around Jake's neck as the kiss continued, Jake's arm slid under Faye's back and his fingers started working at the knot keeping her bikini top in place.
Dawn came home knowing she would find her daughter in the garden, like most of the other teenage girls in chance harbour, soaking up the sun while they could. Dawn left her bag and keys on the counter intending to check on her daughter, before changing and joining her, when she saw the scene unfolding in her back garden. A stern look plastered on her face, Dawn walked through the open back door and crossed her arms over her chest. She watched the scene for a few more seconds before she noticed Jake's hand moving a little too familiarly round to her daughters back and cleared her throat. She watched as Faye and Jake slowly pulled apart their faces slightly red from the heat, the embarrassment of being caught in that situation or something else Dawn did not want to think about.

When Faye and Jake were rudely interrupted she was ready to have a word or two with the person who had done it, but when she turned her head to the door and saw her Mom standing there she kept her mouth closed. After a second she turned back to Jake who looked like a deer caught in headlights and tried not to laugh, it was definitely something she would use against him later.
"see what I mean she is always hanging around" Faye told Jake quietly snapping him out of his trance.
"Jake I think it's time you went home" Dawn said making a point that she was still there watching the two of them. Faye let out a small sigh and Jake nodded standing up before helping Faye up when she looked at him, once up Jake headed back over to the table to grab the book he had left there earlier. Turning back to Faye he tucked a stray bit of hair behind her ear
"remember to ask her about the road trip" he told her quietly not wanting her mom to overhear though it looked like she was trying to listen in "I'll call you later" he said before kissing her on the forehead and giving Dawn a small wave, as he left through the back gate.
Faye waited until she couldn't hear Jake's car before turning to her stuff and picking her things up including the t-shirt Jake had taken off earlier,
"I'll be in my room" she said as she walked past her mom and up the stairs to her room.
