So, I won't be able to post any new chaps after this for maybe a week because I'm going home where I have no net. I believe you can be patient since I gave you all of The Vampires within what 3 days? I may add a 2nd chapter to this before I leave but I will work on it at home and post when I can. Read and review.

Chapter 1: New Friend

Alex was sitting in her bed, under the covers, curled up in a ball. It'd been a month since Juliet disappeared and Alex still wasn't over her. She didn't leave her room. She would conjure up food if any. She kept thinking of Juliet. Everywhere. No matter what.

Sure, Justin and her family tried to get her out of her room, even Max and Kelbo came to try and cheer her up, but after trying for awhile they left. Now they only check to make sure she's alive (Justin caught her almost killing herself, which he thought was her overreacting). Harper would come over sometimes and try to talk her into moving around her room at the least but Alex wouldn't budge. "My hearts gone. Alex is gone. She left with Juliet. I'm just the shell that was left behind." she would say.

She would also make reasons to why Juliet left such as: she blames herself for me getting stabbed or she's just on vacation they left they're things they'll be back. She tried calling Juliet's cell phone and all she got was a message saying "this phone has been disconnected."

Alex's injury was all healed up and Justin's arm was almost fully healed.

Justin walked in. "Alex."

She glanced at him then stared at her knees again.

He sighed. "Alex c'mon. You need to get out of bed. You're gonna get bedsores!"

"Bedsores? That is a minor pain compared to what I'm feeling right now." Alex glared at him. How could he think she's worried about damn bedsores.

He rolled his eyes. "Okay fine. You want to do this the hard way?" he flashed her down to the sub shop.

"Justin!" She yelled, at least she was in clothes. She was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, lounging shorts. She stormed out from behind the counter and bumped into a guy, his drink hit the floor.

"Oh, gosh. I'm sorry!" She said.

"It's quite alright." the boy said, in a British accent. Alex looked up at him.

"I'll get you another. What did you have?" she asked, running behind the counter to get a new glass.

"I believe it was called a Coke. I'm not quite sure exactly." the British boy sat on a stool at the counter.

Alex poured the drink and gave it to him. She thought he was good looking and the accent made him dreamy but she still preferred Juliet's voice.

"I'm Mason, you're Alex aren't you?" He asked her, taking a sip.

"Yeah. How'd you know that?" She raised an eyebrow. Though she wanted to go back to bed she was curious.

"I overheard the owners talking about how their daughter wouldn't come out of her room and they were planning on trying some tricks to get her out."

"Oh."

"Also the man that makes the sandwiches. Someone dropped a plate and he shouted 'Alex!'"

The wizard rolled her eyes. "Something breaks and I get blamed for it."

He smiled at her. She smiled back, then shook her head lightly. "I'm going to go crawl back into bed."

"Wait." Mason grabbed her wrist as she turned away. "I want to talk to you."

Alex wrote her cell phone number on a napkin and gave it to him. "Text me. I'm sorry but I really want to crawl back into my bed." Alex ran up stairs.

Mason let her go this time.

Through the next couple of days Mason would text Alex almost 24/7 and occasionally called. She knew he liked her but she didn't want to get into another relationship. She loved Juliet. Even if Juliet did abandon her. Mason would ask her out on dates and everyday Alex would say no.

Mason asked her to go see a movie about killer sharks and she finally gave in and said yes.

Alex didn't want to go but she thought if she went with him once it'd make him stop asking. He came and picked her up later that day and they went to the theater. Alex wouldn't let him buy anything for her and went without. Alex tried to pay attention to the movie, but it was hard with one of the characters being her lovers name. Mason tried to hold her hand a couple of times but she would scratch her nose or something so he'd let go. Despite herself she couldn't help but feel a sort of attraction to him. Nothing nearly as strong as her attraction with Juliet but enough to make her realize it, though she hated to admit it. He took her home after the movie ended and, though he looked like he wanted to, didn't try to kiss her.

Her brother was watching TV in the living room when she walked in. "Have fun?"

"I guess. It was hard with one of the characters being named Juliet." she said. "he kept trying to hold my hand."

"And you didn't let him right?" Justin knew the answer already.

Alex sighed. "Ohhh know I just screwed him there. Of course I didn't Justin. I just went so he wouldn't ask me anymore. I'm waiting for Juliet, you know that. She'll come back." Alex said, sounding as though she was trying to convince herself.

"Yeah. Okay Alex." Justin said, trying to hide his worry.

Alex walked back upstairs and into her room.

A/N I kind of came up short with ideas for the first chapter. It'll get better and longer, and no one take that in a pervy way ya bunch of pervs. :P
