Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the reviews and trust me, I am really grateful. But I can't update everyday because I have school, and sometimes I'm really busy. Like on Wednesdays, because I have student council and CCD, so don't expect updates then. The next chapter will probably be up on Friday or maybe Thursday so stay tuned! All right here's chapter four!
Rated K+ for comic mischief, crude humor, and suggestive themes.

Don't Ever Forget Me . . .
Chapter Four
Mason embraced me in another tightening hug. He could probably knock the wind out of me if he tried, I was so weak. I needed to lie down for a while, at least a year, but there was no time for that. Soon enough, Justin would be back, ask me what I did and help him find Juliet. I was so dreading that. I mostly wanted to avoid him because well, he was my brother, hello? And secondly, I didn't really have a solution to turn Juliet back to her teenage self. I really just said that so he would help me find Mason. But when he figures out what I did to turn Mason into a werewolf, he won't be happy. He'll run off and tell Dad, because, um, technically transferring half of my power to someone is illegal. It's kind of like giving my power to Harper, a mortal. It just simply isn't done. But what my real question was is Mason going to be in werewolf form, forever?
"I'm so happy you've found me," he said in that perfect English accent.
I smiled as he placed his arm around me. Suddenly, I heard the faint sound of footsteps urging toward us. Uh-oh. It was Mom and Dad. And they did not look happy.
"Alex? What's . . ." Mom trailed off. She exchanged awkward glances from Mason to me, and I silently started to panic inside. Oh, no what was I going to say? 'Hey Mom, Dad, Mason's back!' Of course they'll have questions . . . and I still don't know what I'm going to tell Justin. Ohh, I can tell by Dad's face, he is both confused and slightly enraged. And Mom . . . well, I just didn't bother to look at her face because she already absolutely despises magic, and it is pretty obvious that magic was involved.
" . . . Going on?" Dad finished Mom's sentence, inclusively.
"Nothing, is going o—" when I saw my mother's face I stopped dead in my tracks. I knew neither of them was buying it. When my eyes glazed over to my father, I noticed instantly that he would not believe this lie. So I gave in, like a little girl. "All right, fine." I placed Mason's arm off my shoulder, judging by the look my dad gave me, I could tell that this was making him a bit uncomfortable. I took a seat in the substation and prepared myself for what was to come. "When I went—"
"I can't believe you didn't help me search for Ju—hey, Mom, Dad. What are you doing . . . here?" Justin suddenly flashed in, interrupting me, thankfully. I could only imagine what my parents were going to say to him. But instead of being a total snitch, I shut my mouth and listened to what they had to say.
"Guys . . . what is going on?" Dad asked, finally, and then continued, "And what is Jason doing here?"
"It's Mason!" Justin and I both corrected, simultaneously. Justin took seat next to me, as did Mason, except he held my hand comfortingly. I took a deep breath. Ugh, what should I say? I really was trying to be as honest as possible, but then I'd get triple grounded. I turned to Justin, worriedly. He just sat there like a miserable bump on a log and stared at his feet. Wow, Justin. How professional. "I gave Mason half of my power, so he could become human again. But something went wrong and now he's a werewolf." Ohh, I cannot believe I just said that. What was I thinking? Did I seriously just blurt that out?
"You did what?" Dad screamed from the top of his lungs. To be honest, I didn't believe it either. Especially since everybody thinks that I am so selfish, my Dad probably thinks I was out of my mind to do something like this, and maybe I was. But I was willing to do anything if that meant I could see Mason one last time. But I really do not know what had come over me. Was my selfish streak gone? No it couldn't be. That was one of the words that described me and made me Alex Russo. But lately . . . oh I don't know . . . but maybe . . .
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the irritated sound of Justin's voice. "Oh, you heard her Dad." Justin quickly turned to me as he spoke the words. Did he want me to get into a huge heap of trouble? Or was he just trying to be right for once? Because if that was the case, he should just shut his mouth right now.
"Daddy?" I asked in my best little girl voice. "Am I in trouble?" I used my puppy dog eyes. That usually always did the trick on my old man. But this time when my eyes smoothly glazed over at him, his serious glare stood smack across his face. Uh-oh. I was in big trouble. Dad opened his mouth to say something, then. Oh gosh, here it comes . . .
"Alex, I don't know where to begin. Though let me start by saying, no."
I quickly turned to Justin and smiled widely. In a sing-songy voice I said, "I'm not in trouble! I'm not in trouble! And oh, look who's wrong again?"
"Alex! Stop it! You are so in trouble," Dad noted, in a final tone. What? He was so confusing, sometimes. Then again, there isn't much in this world that doesn't confuse me so . . .
"Ha! I was right," Justin bragged.
Mason turned to me. He stared at me with a look of despair which led me to say, "Yeah, sometimes he wins." Mason then nodded understandingly and I respectively turned to my Dad. He looked extremely agitated, though he always gives me that glare when I do something wrong so really, nothing to worry about here. Except there was . . .
"Excuse me!" Dad exclaimed, looking as irritated as ever. "There is a situation going on, and we do not need your bickering right now, Justin." Dad's eyes glazed over to Justin, who slumped inside the kitchen with Mom. I noticed that Mom didn't even try to mellow the situation out; instead she just triumphantly decided not to get involved, which was totally fine with me. "All right. Now, first thing's first. Alex, you are going to turn Mason back into a wolf." Mason and I both stood up to protest. Mason opened his mouth, probably to say something witty with that perfect accent of his, but I beat him to it.
"What? Why?" I was furious. I just risked my entire powers on Mason to bring him back, why would I just take them away and send him back into the forest? Dad wasn't making any sense.
"Because if Mason was meant to be a werewolf or a human, it would have happened on its own. Now change him back." Dad was fighting me on this. I didn't understand why the one thing in the world that would make me happy, he was decisive about. I bet that he wasn't even sure if this is what he wanted. Heck, he doesn't even know what pizza topping he wants, most days. Why was he so final on this?
"Dad, it's already done. Why can't he stay? What's your problem?" I asked disrespectfully. I knew I shouldn't question him like that, but something came over me and I couldn't stop myself.
"Alex, it is against the law. You're not allowed to do stuff like this. If Professor Crumbs were to find out, he would have everyone in this family's powers suspended, immediately."
Ugh, I already knew that. Lending your powers to someone was illegal. But doing this was my decision and it has become my problem, therefore it was my responsibility. Not his.
"Dad. I am sixteen. You can't keep telling me what to do," I said, standing my ground. Mason supported me by resting his arm on my shoulder. Um, could he say something to help me out here? I nudged him in the shoulder, slightly and when he realized what I was implying, I knew what he was thinking. This really was my responsibility, and it was up to me to fix this mess.
"Just because you're sixteen doesn't mean that you're an adult. You can't go off and make decisions for yourself."
"Yes, I can!" I exclaimed. Suddenly, my knees felt very weak, and gave out. Thankfully, Mason helped me, cautiously, preventing my fall. He sat me down in a chair and my Dad gave over adjusting my body upright. "What just happened?" I asked, utterly confused.
"Since you're not a full wizard and you only have half of your power, sometimes your body just can't take it. Which is why you need to switch Mason back," Dad explained, swiftly urging back into the spot he was standing, or lecturing, in before.
"No," I said firmly, shaking my head from side to side. "You can't make me." My eyes switched from Dad to Mason, as I ordered, "Come on, Mason. Let's go." I took his hand and entwined his fingers with mine. I got out my wand and flashed us into a place no one would find us. Well, rather a place no one would think to look. The park.
"Your Dad seemed rather angry," Mason told me, once we were both seated on a bench.
"Yeah. But I'm not losing you. Not again," I said. And I meant it, too. Nothing and I mean nothing could convince me to change him back into a little, defenseless wolf.
"Oh really?" he asked in a joking tone as he adjusted he arm around my shoulders, as he does so often. I made myself comfortable as my eyes glazed over to the sight of the beautiful sky and how the trees just fit into nature perfectly. How their branches shook when a ghastly wind transformed through the sky. Then I suddenly noticed two butterflies in the corner of my eye, flittering through the sky without a care in the world. I turned my head, to get a better view. I saw that they both rested on the same branch of the tree as they fluttered together, in chemistry. In the same tree, I saw two birds in the same nest, and how they were chirping together simultaneously, which caught my eye. I realized I wasn't paying much attention to Mason, when he said, "You promise?"
"Promise what?" I asked, still stunned by the works of Mother Nature.
"That you're never losing me again?"
"Oh," I said, giggling slightly. I noticed the big bright moon in the evening sky and smiled while turning to Mason, "And yes . . . I promise."
