I originally wanted to put at least one song in every chapter but every time I go to write I get kicked off the computer but I'm going to try it starting next chapter.

I realized the last few chapters I forgot the disclaimer so here it is, I do not own anything in this story except the plot, Jo, Aria, Casey, and John. Richelle Mead AKA my favorite author owns everything else!

Last thing, thank you to everyone who has read and commented, or done any alerts. They make my day because I honestly didn't think anybody would read this and I'm still not sure if it's good or not because some parts are harder to write than others so please R&R and help me out. I have part of the story planned out but I need some ideas so if you have any please feel free to share. Well that's it and I'll let you read now. R&R please.

Love always, Cassandra

Once I was ready we headed to the bar. Normally I would be bartending but since today was my birthday, oh yea I forgot to mention that earlier, Jo insisted that I had the night off and the only thing I was 'allowed' to do was drink and have fun. Like that's going to happen. Since Jo now owns the bar we had to show up a few hours early and since I wasn't allowed to do anything I went over to look at our song selections trying to decide if I was going to sing tonight and if so what.

A few hours later I had finally decided I would but still was unsure about what. Right about time to open I walked over to the bar to talk to Jo and Casey the other bartender. About a year after working here Casey got hired on and we've pretty much been best friends ever since. She knows some of my past but I wouldn't tell her everything and as much as I hate to admit it our friendship wasn't half as good as Lissa's and mine had been. Stop thinking like that roseI scolded myself you've moved on and so have they.

"Hey are you ready?" Jo asked

"Hah your funny. I don't think I'll ever be ready but I guess I'll just have to get over it huh?"

"Relax you'll be fine you've got me and everyone else. We're here for you and we're so getting you drunk!"

"Oh yea lets have a repeat of her 21st party that's smart" Casey said with heavy sarcasm.

"Ok that was pretty hilarious. You've got to admit you were thoroughly entertained for the night and the next month every time you saw rose" said Jo with a smirk. Last year Jo got me so plastered I forgot most of the night, but the little I could remember I wished I could forget. Lets' just say I woke up naked on the bathroom floor at Jo's house with a new tattoo and wearing an electric blue wig. They still won't tell me what all happened 'for my own good.'

"Yea your right it was f'ing funny" said Casey.

"oh god please let me remember tonight I hate not remembering what I did last year, some of the regulars still give me creepy grins and thumbs up every time I see them! Oh and please don't let me embarrass myself"

"sure posie we'll watch out for you" he said with a grin.

'Oh god this is going to be a long night and I hope I remember it' I thought but then I remember THEYwere coming tonight 'ok maybe I do want to forget some of tonight, depends on what happens'

Right about then people started showing up so I went to the bathroom to check out how I looked. I glanced in the mirror and applied some more lip gloss and checked out my outfit. I had chosen to wear a black mini dress. Normally I don't wear dresses because they made it hard to fight, a lesson learned from the time I was kidnapped a year and a half ago but lets not go there it still really hard to deal with, but I decided with Lissa and them coming she'd bring enough guardians so I would be ok (even though I wasn't involved in the vampire world that much strigoi are still around and I've still kept up in training and still fought them) plus this dress was just way too cute! It has long sleeves and goes to about mid-thigh. It has horizontal slits randomly and up the sleeves showing the red satin material. It fit snug, not slutty but enough to show off my assets. I had chosen some black 3 inch stilettos that had sparkly red and black straps criss-crossing randomly up to the top of my ankle. For jewelry I was wearing a black, silver, and red dangling necklace with a bunch of random charms hanging together and the bracelet Jo bought me for my birthday. On my make-up I decided to use bright red lip-stick and black smoky eyes with a touch of blush and bronzer. 'Damn I look good!'

With one final glance I walked out and ended up bumping into someone.

"sorry I should have pa…Little Dhampir? So this is where you've been hiding" said the one and only Adrian Ivashkov, "dang girl you look hot!" He hasn't really changed much but then again I see him 2-3 times a month in my dreams, I've just never told him where I was for fear of him telling someone or trying to come get me himself.

"So you finally found me. Damn looks like its time to move again, and does your girlfriend know where your at? She might want to keep a better eye on you" I said jokingly.

"Ah Little Dhampir how I've missed your smart ass comments, Christians just aren't enough. And for your information Aria is over at the bar you should come finally meet her."

About a year after I left Adrian met Aria his fiancé. I've heard all about her and have been wanting to meet her but seeing as I haven't even seen him in person I kind of couldn't.

"I take it yall are still going strong? And duh firecrotchs' comments aren't half as good as mine I'm the queen at comebacks and smart-ass remarks."

"That you are little dhampir, that you are. And yes the wedding is about a month away and I really hope you will come. But before we get into that why don't you come meet her?"

"is everyone over there? I heard they were coming."

"When I left they were all at a table in the back and just Aria was waiting for me at the bar."

"Okay good lets' go."

We walked over to the bar and he pointed her out. She was wearing a glittery purple mini dress that was tight at the top and flowed out to her mid-thigh, it really went with her dark red hair.

"Aria meet Rose. Rose this is my Fiance Aria."

"Rose its so good to finally meet you Addie's told me all about you but I was starting to wonder if you were real or not," she said with a smile.

"I hope it was all good things but knowing me it probably wasn't" I said laughing "Adrian's told me about you too and I'm really happy to meet you. Sorry we haven't met before its just kind of hard to travel all the way up there with my job and stuff."

We kept talking for about 15 minutes and I decided I really do like this girl we have a lot in common and she seems hell-a fun! After a little while a song by Cobra Starship called 'Hot-mess' came on and Adrian and Aria went to go dance. One of the regulars named John came over and we decided to go dance.

I'll admit if I actually dated he would not be a bad choice. He was hot with his brown hair and piercing blue-gray eyes, and he was pretty muscular but not in the gross over done way. He really was a nice guy and I've thought about dating him but I know it'd be unfair to him. I told him all this once and surprisingly he's ok with it and now he's kind of just like my big brother up here, if a guy won't leave me alone or starts hitting on me, or whatever he'll come over and help me out if Jo doesn't beat him to it.

After the dance I head back to the bar and Casey passes me a shot of vodka and a strawberry margarita. As she's sliding them over I hear a voice I've been dreading like crazy.
