And after all this time that you still owe You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know So take your gloves and get out Better get out while you can When you go would you even turn to say "I don't love you like I did yesterday"

~My Chemical Romance

The rain had stilled over Ipswich yet the slate coated clouds lingered, almost like they were a warning that more darkness was coming. Despite the ominous clouds in the weeks since Chase's disappearance the Sons had begun to heal and move forward from their ordeal. Caleb was adjusting to all the power he now wielded resisting the temptation it brought. Sarah, though happy with Caleb was battling the nightmares that continued to plague her secretly. Pogue was healing nicely but unable to wait to get out of the hospital. Whereas Kate, who visited her boyfriend briefly still managed to hold a grudge against him spent the majority of her time worrying where her "friend" Chase had gone. Reid and Tyler, though jarred from their experience were fine. Reid especially had more respect for his powers and what he could become if he wasn't more careful. (That didn't completely stop him from using though).

Caleb headed down the staircase toward the parlor to check on his mother, she had taken his father's sacrifice hard, and to tell her he was heading out. He and the guys as well as most of Spencer Academy were throwing Pogue a welcome back party. As he neared the doors he heard his mother's voice. He prayed silently she wasn't talking to herself or what she perceived to be his father.

"Georgianna it's always good to see you. It's been some time now since you were here." Her voice sounded pleasant but Caleb could detect the hint of fear in her voice. Who was this woman that had the potential to scare his mom?

"It's always good to see you as well Evelyn, and yes I haven't been back here since… before my girls were born. I was sorry to hear about James, I know it must be hard on you and your son." The woman responded her voice gentle, soothing almost but cautious and there was a hint of an accent their but she hid it well. What Caleb really wanted to know was how his parents knew her and why didn't he know her but she knew him.

"Thank you, I had heard Peter had passed earlier this year as well. I'm so sorry, how are your girls holding up?" Evelyn asked out of consideration.

"No, we lost Peter last year. It's been hard but we're healing. However I'm sure you know I'm not here to exchange pleasantries Evelyn." Georgianna stated honestly.

Caleb's curiosity peaked; he inched closer to the doors as quietly as possible. Listening intently as he wondered what she wanted then. All the different scenarios running through his brain of why this woman was here and what it was his mother could do for her.

"Yes I know, we all do Georgianna, but you have to understand our reservations though. The boys, my son, just managed to fight off the fifth Son of Ipswich. Alice's son will be ascending soon, we don't know if the fifth will be back for another fight or not. We can't risk Hunters coming here as well. We understand the predicament that your family is in; we're just concerned for our own." His mother explained carefully. Caleb could picture the worry in her eyes. This Georgianna must have some influence for his mother to be so cautious of her.

"Evelyn I understand that better than anyone. The boys were fortunate to have been spared this long. My girls haven't been as fortunate, they've had to grow up far too quickly. I don't want to see any harm come to this place, to your families. My family has maintained a place here and over the years Peter and I were restoring it for when we retired or for vacations. No Hunter knows of this place or about your boys. They're as much a myth in my part of the world as they are here, and if they did come we'd leave before anything could be discovered. I promise you that, I wouldn't subject those boys to that." Georgianna swore.

"The boys know nothing about you or your kind Georgianna." Evelyn warned.

"I would hope not we've worked hard to keep it a secret Evelyn. My girls don't know about your boys either, just the stories that they don't believe in." Georgianna reassured his mother.

"Alright Georgianna, I'll tell the others you'll be here for awhile. I'm holding you to your word Georgianna I won't lose my son too." Evelyn warned.

"You won't Evelyn. I'll show myself out. I guess I'll be seeing you around town now." Georgianna stated.

Caleb could hear the subtle scrap of a chair. He moved from the doorway as quickly and quietly as he could, hanging back in the shadows of the staircase watching as a woman he couldn't quite make out from this angle left his house. Caleb stood sighing as he heard the front doors close. He'd have to tell the guys later what he heard. He quickly entered the parlor to say goodbye to his mother before hopping into his car to get to Nicky's on time, his thoughts still stuck on the conversation he was never meant to hear.

Meanwhile Tyler had been fighting with Pogue for a good half hour to come with him to the bar. Getting the guy to his own party was more difficult than keeping it a surprise. Pogue hadn't been in the mood to go out, Kate had blown him off again and he was in a bad mood. Tyler finally pulled up to the bar getting out and making his way inside. Walking tentatively away from Tyler's hummer Pogue slowly followed his friend to the worn wooden doors of the pool hall where he was met by a sea of screaming voices all saying "WELCOME BACK POGUE!" Caleb and Reid push their way through the mass amounts of Spencer students smiles barred coming up to greet their greatly missed friend patting Pogue carefully on the back.

"Welcome back gimpy." Reid teased.

"Thanks Reid." Pogue shook his head at his friends, "You didn't have to bring the entire school out you know." He said to Caleb.

"Yea well you're just really loved man." Caleb shrugged, "Come on we have another surprise for you." Caleb said leading his gimping best friend by the arm through the crowd.

There sitting in the center of the dimly lit pool hall stood a Ducati 999 in glossy black. Pogue looked at the sleek new bike under the fluorescent lighting a shocked expression running across his face as he limped over to the motorcycle. Pogue ran his hands over the fiber glass frame inspecting his new bike before looking at his friends.

"You guys bought me a new bike?" He asked pretty much stunned, he was so pissed when he had heard his old bike was totaled.

"Well we picked it out and chipped in a little but mostly it was your parents." Reid explained.

Pogue shook his head laughing. Caleb nodded,

"We wanted to make sure your mom didn't end up getting you a tricycle or something. The girls seemed to love it too. Sarah referred to it, 'An orgasm on wheels' and I know a lot of the ladies here would love to be riding with you." Caleb teased his best friend hoping he'd finally dump Kate and move on. Pogue quirked one of his eyebrows and gave his friend a look before shaking his head.

"Dude please tell me you didn't do nasty shit on my new bike with your girl?" Pogue questioned.

"Nah man she just liked the bike." Caleb laughed as he reassured his friend.

Tyler rolled his eyes patting Pogue on the back, "You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, being stuck with the couple, and the kid who can barely keep his pants on was hell." Tyler whispered to Pogue scrunching up his face.

"Aww baby boy calm down it wasn't so bad," Reid teased winking at Tyler in a purely joking manner going on to say, "you got to learn something new these past couple of weeks. It took you a while, but you finally learned how to say my name."Doing his little dance, Reid went over to ruffle Tyler's dark brown hair before scooting off to mingle dodging Tyler's hand that came swinging for him.

Tyler began moving away from Reid twitching somewhat, saying in a disturbed tone,

"You're so lucky to not have a roommate man. He can be really creepy sometimes… Pogue enjoy your party man I'm going to the other side of this bar and hopefully Reid will get preoccupied with some girl, but go to her room and not bring her back to ours… I really don't need to wake up hearing that shit again." The poor boy shook his head again walking over toward the foosball table.

Pogue smiled as his friend walked off. He looked over his bike again running a hand through his shaggy dirty blonde hair, taking a deep breath as swarms of people rushed over to welcome him home, asking how he was feeling, telling him how happy they were that he was back, taking up most of his time. By the time the crowd dispersed Pogue had been cornered into a table, his bike moved out back and the one person he had expected to see still hadn't shown up. Caleb had long since been shoved aside to make room for the others. He sat beside his friend handing him a Pepsi and taking a seat.

"Thanks man, can I ask you something?" Pogue asked quietly taking a sip.

"Course man, what's up?" Caleb answered resting his elbows on the table.

"Have you seen Kate? She didn't really come by my room at the hospital or the house when I was discharged and now she won't come by my room and she hasn't answered my calls." He asked.

Caleb sighed and looking down as the doors of Nicky's opened again as two figures moved through the crowd coming up beside Pogue and Caleb. Sarah dressed in her jeans and a sweater bending over to hug Caleb, smiling at Pogue saying,

"Glad to have you back Pogue." The boy smiled back at her, turning his attention to his MIA girlfriend.

"Hey baby, welcome back." Kate said leaning in kissing his cheek smiling down at him in her red Hollister shirt and Abercrombie jeans.

*Author's Note*

IT'S THE DEVIL! AHHH IT BURNS! IT BURNS!

"Kate… hey… where have you been? You didn't come and visit me and you didn't return my calls. I was worried about you." Pogue said looking her over for any remaining signs of Chase's spell.

"Oh, well baby I was sick of being in that hospital. Cooped up for those few days were torture, and I couldn't bear seeing you all hooked up to machines and such. I've been a bit busy too that's why I didn't answer your calls." She explained picking at her finger nails, saying as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You couldn't come because of machines and wires and because you were sick of the hospital? Kate I was in that hospital for a week and laid up in my house for another and Caleb, Reid, and Tyler came to see me almost every day. My entire family, including those who live out of state came. Sarah came by, hell even Mrs. Danvers came, while my own girlfriend couldn't spare five minutes to visit me. What was so important that you couldn't take some time out of your oh so busy schedule to come see me?" Pogue said getting pissed off.

Kate glared at him scoffing, "God Pogue, I was looking for Chase, he just disappeared after you were in the hospital. I'm here now though isn't that enough for you?"

"Chase? You were worried about Chase Collins seriously!" Pogue began, standing up from his seat unsteadily, "I'm your boyfriend, who was in an accident… almost dying, and you worry about that some jackass who just wanted to get in your pants?" Pogue yelled getting even more frustrated. Wishing he could just scream at her "He also tried to kill you with spiders!"

Sarah covered her mouth nervously watching the fight. Caleb shook his head looking disgusted at Kate. By then Pogue and Kate's fight had caught the attention of most of the people in Nicky's. People in the crowd glared at Kate, most of them being jealous girls. Reid and Tyler and slithered their way through standing near Caleb and Sarah.

"Yes I was worried about him Pogue, he's my friend who just so happened to disappear into thin air. I knew you'd be ok. If I thought you were going to die I would've been there." Kate insisted crossing her arms huffing.

"Yea I'm sure you would. You sure you wouldn't be off flirting with the next guy who shot you a smile and a wave." Pogue bit back glaring at Kate, he had always wanted to believe the best in her, but he had enough.

"Oh my God Pogue, do you like ever stop? You get so jealous over stupid things. What do you think I don't see when you Reid and Tyler look at other girls? I'm not stupid Pogue. Am I not allowed to have other friends who are guys? God your jealously bit is getting real old real fast." Kate explained glaring back at him rolling her dirty brown eyes looking away from him.

"I might've looked Kate but I don't initiate anything with them. I don't talk to any of them, and I sure as hell don't go off flirting with them, so explain why you go off giggling and acting like some two timing slut." Pogue had finally lost it, he was still unsteady and now this shit was happening.

Sarah gasped and glared at Pogue, she didn't agree with Kate going out looking for Chase, but she did think Pogue was over reacting a bit. She rubbed her temples the stress of everything that had transpired pressing down on her mind. Caleb watched his best friend and his best friend's girlfriend fight hundreds of times but never as bad as this. Kate had no idea what Chase was like, and she did flirt a lot with other guys to just piss off Pogue.

"How dare you Pogue! I'm not some two timing slut, ok I was just worried about my friend. God you're nothing but a stubborn, jealous, overbearing, jackass whose antics belong on a soap opera. Chase was there for me while you were fiddling with that hunk of metal," she spat referring to Pogue's old bike, turning to look out the window at his new Ducati then back to Pogue, "And now you've got a new toy to replace me with so take your crocodile tears and bad attitude and back off." Kate hissed giving him a look. Like Pogue would dare break up with her.

Several people gasped and watched the scene, a wave of whispers spread around Nicky's. Caleb glared walking over to Pogue,

"What the hell Kate, Pogue has never done anything but been a good boyfriend to you."

Reid and Tyler moved over with Caleb nodding in agreement. Kate just scoffed rolling her eyes.

"Of course you'd all follow Caleb; you're like his little bitches, and Pogue you're the fucking worst, you're like his little man slave. Caleb calls and you're at his side in a second. So yea I flirt a bit, but it's nothing serious. I feel like I have to compete with three other guys and a fucking motorcycle for your attention." She said shaking her head at them giving them a look like they were all fools.

Sarah walked over to Kate resting a hand on her shoulder,

"Come on Kate; let's go… this is getting ridiculous, and I think we all need to just calm down." She said sighing. Caleb looked at her in shock stepping forward.

"You've got to be kidding me Sarah, you don't actually agree with her do you?" he asked astounded.

"I don't agree with her on looking for Chase, cause he was a fucking prick, but the way Pogue thinks he can control her isn't right." She explained looking up at Caleb, "Caleb you're not a jealous guy, I know that, but because of the way Pogue acts I make very few friends, male or female. I'm hated by the girls because I'm dating you, and guys fear coming around me because aside from Aaron they're all afraid of you." Sarah exaggerated moving her hand in a circular motion at the boys, "You all don't think we haven't seen you look at other girls, we're allowed to look at other guys, and have guys who are just friends." Sarah explained defensively using whatever reason she could to push him away a bit. She wasn't afraid of what he was she just didn't think she could be around it or him for a while.

Caleb gapped at Sarah his dark chocolate eyes struck with surprise, his mouth opening and closing, not really knowing what to say.

"How can you side with him Caleb he tries controlling who she hangs out with and everything it's wrong, he has no right." She defended.

Pogue looked at Sarah glaring, "I have only tried to protect her, especially when it comes to bastards like Chase Collins."

"Well since you're not my father that's not your job, and Chase never did anything to hurt me Pogue so lay off." Kate bitched

If she had only known how much of a self serving bastard Chase really was, maybe, just maybe Kate wouldn't be such a bitch. Reid looked both of the girls over and shook his head.

"Ok listen very carefully you dumb second rate princesses, Pogue and Caleb are just trying to protect you both, for what reason who knows." Reid added into the conversation.

"Leave it alone Reid, let them think what they want. Pogue, Kate is so not worth your time." Caleb whispered, glaring at Sarah speaking for the first time.

"You're exactly right Caleb," whispering back, lowering his eyes to look at Kate, "Kate I don't need you or your drama anymore. I've dealt with it long enough. I've gone through hell and high water trying to be everything for you and you still treat me like shit, we're over." Pogue said looking down, shrugging his shoulders turning his back to her.

Kate gasped grabbing him by the shoulder whirling him back around to look at her. Pogue winced stumbling slightly to regain his footing, a brief streak of pain crossing his face.

"So that's it, you're dumping me just like that? You don't love me anymore? I wasted how long with you?"

"No Kate, I don't love you like I did before… you aren't the girl I fell in love with and you sure as hell won't be the girl I miss, now get out." He said throwing his hands up at her.

Sarah grabbed Kate's hand as it swung to hit Pogue,

"Forget him Kate, I'll take you home." She said quietly leading a fuming Kate outside to her car. As the two walked away a loud cheer rang through the pool hall.

Pogue wandered off through the people heading outback among the empty kegs, glass bottles and fading newspapers to think. Caleb watched sadly as Sarah left his side, betraying the trust he thought he could have in her. Reid of course trying to keep a light mood turned to the crowd that formed around them,

"Well this is a celebration people, let's get this party started!" he called out walking into the hoots and hollers turning on some tunes and heading to his favorite pool table.

Tyler patted Caleb on the back heading over to the bar to get some food. Caleb sighed walking after him. Wondering now if he even had a girlfriend still, he expected not. While the boys were trying to keep the mood light, and stir up the crowd, they missed Aaron and one of his goons slipping out of the pool hall after Kate and Sarah.
