I must have fallen asleep when I stormed off last night because when I awoke it was 5:30am so I decided I had had enough sleep and put on a short, yellow summer dress, that complemented my hips, so I could go for a walk down by the beach before everyone woke up and Reliy got the chance to start the lecture.

On the way past the kitchen someone was looking through the fridge probably looking for breakfast. He turned around or should I say Damon turned around and jumped when he saw me standing they're looking at him.

"I don't remember you being the early riser," He said in a flat tone. But it was true I usually wasn't.

"I got to sleep early," I said really wanting to be outside now instead of in a really awkward situation like this.

"Just out of curiosity what did you do on Saturday night?" Just like that all of the years we have spent together came rushing back and I went like he was my actual brother.

"It doesn't matter you'll just run off and tell Reliy! Why would I even tell you?" I asked in an irritated voice.

"Because sooner or later it's going to come out anyway" He seemed astonished I couldn't figure this out by myself.

"Not if I can help it" I mumbled as I walked out of the kitchen to the pool and sat in one of the sun baking chairs I knew he was going to follow me so I didn't go all the way down to the beach, here I could make an easy escape if needed. He followed me outside with a yogurt and sat in the chair next to mine.

"All I know is that you went to a party," he said in a way that was a meant to make me fill in the rest of the details. I did not want to go through this today so I attempted to end it.

"Yep and that's all" I said closing my eyes settling back into the chair, not needing to say anymore

"Did you drink?" He asked.

"Yep" I said expressionless. I opened my eyes to see his reaction and he seemed like that was not the answer he had wanted. He let out a breath.

"Your brother is not going to be happy" He said matter of factly.

"Of course he will because he isn't going to find out," I hissed. And as soon as I finished the sentence Damon leapt up and headed for my brothers room. I was onto him instantly jumping up onto his shoulder tying to tackle him. But he slowed but kept walking.

"Stop!" I yelled into his ear but he didn't seem fazed. "Don't tell, I'm allowed to drink!" He stopped when I said let yanking me off his shoulders and turning to face me.

"You are not allowed to drink and I'm telling so next time you won't drink because you will know the consequences!" He seemed worried. But it only last a second because the next thing I knew he was already walking up the stairs to my brothers room. I ran up the stair and went throw his legs and tried to push from the front with both my hands on his chest but he jabbed me which made me jump, there was no use. I gave up so went back down to the sun bathing chairs by the pool and worked on my tan. I decided on a different tactic, act natural.

I was starting to get sunburnt so I started to head into the kitchen. Hayley walked past me completely ignoring my and went to work on her tan again. Everyone was in the kitchen James and Reliy were sitting at the table eating, Damon was reading the newspaper and Jace was searching the cupboards for food. All ignoring me so I went on through the kitchen and up to my room where I stayed until lunchtime unpacking all my new clothes that didn't seem to interest me as much as they used to. When that was finished I decided to stare at the wall numbly it was better then being down stairs in the middle of a game of the silent treatment.

I hadn't eaten a proper meal since lunchtime yesterday and I still wasn't hungry, I usually eat snacks throughout the day but since I have been here things have changed with my eating habits. Someone knocked on my door.

"Stella lunch!" She was ignoring me to I could tell by her flat tone. She probably didn't care if I came down for lunch or not. I decided I might as well come down but not for lunch, I already memorised where every chip in the walls were located. I didn't want to confront them so I went straight out the front door and around the back up to the sun bathing chairs so I could see the what little view I had of the beach. My knees were getting a bit red at the top so I was about to go in when Hayley came out and sat in on of the sun bathing chairs next to me. She pretended not to notice me and I did the same. But I could help noticing the difference in size in our legs. She had perfect, skinny, tanned, long legs and mine were tanned but not long and skinny like hers and I hated that. I didn't like to be seen next to her she was one of those people who starve themselves to look good, lets just say I'm not like that.

I was busy thinking so I didn't see Reliy come out and sit in the sun bathing chair on the other side of me. He sat up facing me with a stern look on his face. Great.

"So you lied to us, went out to a party drinking?" He asked but what was I a meant to say, 'yeah I think so but I was to smashed to remember' not a good opening line.

"I'm old enough to" I stated to see if he would snap. It was kind of true, I was sixteen and that's when he started I just think he still thinks I'm he's little baby sister still.

"No you are not Stella! I'm allowed to do these things because"

"I'm only two years younger!" I tried to reason.

"Exactly TWO YEARS" He basically yelled into my face using his hands in big movements to make what he was saying clearer. Mphht. There was no use trying to reason with Reliy.

"Ok I'll will not get drunk until I'm legally of age" I said keeping my emotions in check. Which was hard because I was on the verge screaming into his ear until it went through his brain and out the other side. Yep I was that close. It seemed to stumble him that I would give up so easily it even caught Hayley's attention.

"You…what?...r really" he stuttered.

"Yep" I said in the flattest tone I could manage.

"Ok then, but don't think I'm uuumm not angry at you any more." Oh yeah! He was completely and utterly confused.

"No" I said pretending to be offended, "why would it even cross my mind" I was shaking my head to show my concern. I could practically feel the sarcasm dripping of my voice. It amazes me how he missed it. It's the ten year old shining through.
