I glanced up at Jasper absently. He was playing with Alice's hair, watching me attentively. That was really getting annoying. Ever since we came back from the beach a week ago, Jasper and Caius have been watching me like vultures watching their prey. I raised my eyebrows once and put them down –like Draco Malfoy does in the Harry Potter movies. Jasper shook his head at me and I went back to "finishing" my math homework. I don't do homework. Where the hell's Caius? I'll have him do my homework.

CAIUS!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!?

Can't talk love. In Italy. Be home late.

What the hell? God, some sort of text message. I sighed. He had a meeting with the Volturi again. There's been a lot of those recently, since… Well, best actually do my work. I sighed and looked at my math problem. Oh god… Oh god.

"EDWARD!!!" I cried. I had to wait about fifteen minutes before he came. By that time, I had finished problem one. Thirty problems… Fifteen minutes per problem… 450 minutes… Seven and a half hours. I would be moved down for sure. I glared at Edward angrily. "I don't want your help any more. It took me all of fifteen minutes," he smiled sheepishly, "for me to do problem one."

Jasper made a funny sound. We looked at him curiously. Alice was even looking at him funny. Jasper narrowed his eyes at me. "You said you were almost done!"

I grinned. "Could you not feel the plotting I felt?" I inquired softly. He squeaked indignantly. "I was going to make Caius do it but…"

Love! Vampires. Human Feeders. Coming your way. Midnight. Watch Out. Stay with Jasper or that werewolf at ALL times, Princess.

What the hell is up with him and his brief messages? Are we like in the Secret Service or something? Geez. I looked at Edward who looked at me funny. We both looked at Jasper then each other and then my math book. Simultaneously, we both tried to close it. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. I somehow ended up on my face with the book on my head. I do not know how. I could feel Jasper's annoyance towards Edward and sighed. I rolled over and propelled myself to my feet, managing to keep my balance… At some point, those Karate classes did help. I glared at Edward as the door bell rang. Probably someone trying to console me for my… Whatever. That or it's Brady!! I stepped around Edward and stumbled, catching myself on his arm. I glared at him again and this time he cringed and I continued making my way to the door.

I sighed as I entered the kitchen and I froze. Oh yes… Someone needed to clean this place. There was so much food and whatnot that I couldn't see the over-large refrigerator. I'll have to get someone to clean it. There's no way in hell that I'm going to clean it. I huffed as the door bell rang again and weeded my way through the kitchen and all its crap. I entered the living room and sighed. I stepped over the cat and swung open the door.

"Hey Pansy!" I paled. He then proceeded to push me out of the way and walk inside like he knows me or he lived here. "How you doin'?"

I shook my head rapidly. No, no, no, no, no! Not so soon! It's too soon… No, no, no, no, no, no, no… No! He can't be here! He can't! No!!! I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off.

"Nice place ya got here. So, where's your pops?"

I glared and shook my head. "No!!! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!!!" I screamed. I didn't care if Jasper, Edward, or Lucian came down; I just wanted Michael out of our house. "GET OUT NOW!!!"

He held up his hands in surrender. "Hey, hey now. No fuss about it love."

No! "You can't be here," I hissed at him. "You can't!" He grinned a small grin.

"Pansy…"

"JASPER!!!! LUCIAN!!!" I screamed hysterically. Michael raised his eyebrows. Apparently he thought no one was here. 'Course not. Lucian rode home with me today after school, Jasper, Alice, and Edward ran, and I only have one car –now two- in my driveway.

"Pan?" I whirled around. Lucian. Jasper was right behind him, glaring at Michael. Lucian glided to my side, putting his arm around my waist. He too glared at Michael as Jasper came to my side. "Who the hell are you?"

Michael chuckled. "I am Michael Avice, Pansy's old neighbor."

"Then that makes you a stalker," Lucian snapped.

Michael glared. I know he isn't used to his plans being foiled. He's used to getting his way. Bernadette gave him everything he could have ever wanted, except me. He gave Lucian and Jasper once over's and sighed. Shaking his head at me, he gave me this stalkeresque (not a word) grin. "Sure, sure. Well, I see you've company-"

"They live with me, moron. Get with the picture," I snapped. His grin fell and he glowered.

"What?" he hissed. I took an involuntary step backwards, away from him. "What? Where is Austin?" His voice was so cold… It scared me. What he said registered and I felt the tears come.

"Pan-"

"Pansy-"

"HE'S DEAD YOU ASSHOLE!!" I screamed at Michael. Austin's baby blue eyes flooded my mind. All I could see was the concerned light in Austin's eyes now. I felt my knees give out under me and I think that it was Lucian who caught me. It was. I heard Jasper shooing –kicking- Michael out the door as I cried on Lucian's shoulder. I was shifted from Lucian to Jasper when the doorbell rang again.

"Ah… It's Brady, Babe." Jasper let me go and I opened my eyes, rubbing the tears away. Brady walked in and looked around. He stopped when he looked at me. I continued rubbing my tears and whatnot away.

He walked briskly to my side and I saw Lucian discreetly motion for him and Jasper to leave the room.

"What…" Brady murmured as he pulled me over to the couch. He sat down and pulled me in his lap. "What in the world happened…? I swear I will kill whoever made you cry, Pansy." I threw my arms around his neck and cried harder still. He stroked my back, whispering sweet nothings to me. He never once said 'I understand' the whole time. "I don't know what you're going through, Pansy, but I want to help you get better… It must be hard going through Austin's death. If you need me…"

I smiled sadly. "Thank you Brady… Thank you so, so, so much…"

"Any time, love, any time…"
