Hey Devices! I think TID fans should be either called Devices or Infernos or Clockworkers or even Angels (from Tessa's clockwork angel). Hmmm. I think Infernos or Clockworkers would be an awesome name for the fans. What do do you guys think?

Back to business, thanks for the reviews guys!

Hearts With Love: I'll work on the Sideon story soon! You're not like her, you just (somehow) remind me of her. I don't know xD. Thanks! Is fantablous even a word? :P I guess it is now. I hate to break it to you but you'll find out why Will acts like this in the last few chapters of the story. I'm so evil.

Depthsofthemind: I'm happy that you're confused as Cecily! I want my readers to be confused, always! Ugh, I'm so evil (writers are evil). I think their ship name is Sideon? Not quite sure.

MagicMissy: Thanks! :)


Will dropped Cecily off at their apartment and went out, giving her strict orders not to leave the house. Probably off to see Tessa, she thought glumly. Anyway, why would he want to stay with her when she got him mad over something that he couldn't control? Well, the Tessa thing he could control, but accusing him of never being the brother she wanted was low. He couldn't be her brother because he was afraid, but still Cecily really wished Will acted more like her brother.

It was so silent in the apartment and also in the building like every Saturday morning. Everyone would have been partying too hard last night that they'd get a hungover. Typical. Cecily sighed and thought of her parents who were living in a different town. She missed them. At least they acted like her parents. She tried to brush off those thoughts. Will was afraid, she needed to drill this into her head.

A knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She sighed in relief. This was a good distraction. Maybe it was Will! She ran to the door and swung the door open. It wasn't Will, it was Jem. She exclaimed in surprise, "Jem?! What are you doing here?" She was starting to panic which was stupid. She didn't do anything wrong.

"Hey Cecily," he said smiling, "did I scare you?"

She shook her head. She was trembling. "No. I thought you were Will." Tell him.

"Can I enter?" he inquired. She nodded and stepped aside. Jem entered and closed the door for her. Tell him. "Where's Will anyway?"

Tell him. "I don't know," she muttered, "but Jem I have something to tell you.."

Jem turned and looked at her. He looked happy. Guilt welled in her chest. "What is it?" he asked her kindly. That was Jem. Always kind and happy and understanding. Would he be understanding about Will and Tessa?

"I-" she was cut off by a knock on the door. Will. Relief welled up in her chest and she opened the door. She was disappointed once again. It was Gabriel. That was a surprise. "Gabriel?"

"Hey," he said, "I thought you might wanted to hang out."

"I-" she began, but was cut off again. This time it was Jem's voice.

"Gabriel?" Jem said, astonished, "what are you doing here? Did Will do something to you again?"

He doesn't know about Gabriel owing Will, Cecily thought in realization. Jem obviously didn't know a lot of stuff. Tell him, he deserves to know. She was distracted again when Gabriel spoke up, "This has nothing to do with Will. I came over to ask Cecily if she wanted to hang out."

Jem glanced at Cecily, shock in his eyes. "You guys are friends?" he asked. Gabriel raised an eyebrow. He must have understood that she hadn't told Jem yet. Which she should. Because it is the right thing to do. Right?

"Sort of, it's a long story," she muttered. She suddenly felt the need to get out of the apartment as fast as possible, despite Will's strict instructions. She turned to Gabriel. "Sure, let's hang out. Where do you want to go?"

"Movies?"

"Sure." She turned to Jem. "Sorry I don't know where Will is," she apologized then an idea hit her. "Maybe Tessa knows. Go to her house and ask," she said innocently. From the corner of her eye, Gabriel's eyes widened.

But Jem shook his head. "No," he said, "Will would get mad if you hanged out with Gabriel. I can't stop you, but I'm coming with you."

"No! Go to Tessa!" she protested.

"If I don't go with you, I'll tell Will you went with Gabriel to the movies," Jem stated.

"Jem's right because going to the movies alone with a guy is very scandalous," Gabriel muttered under his breath.

She and Jem stared at each for a few minutes before Cecily gave up. "You win," she sighed, "you can come." Gabriel was about to protest, but Cecily shot him a warning look.

"Fine, but you are not choosing the movie Carstairs," he grumbled.


After the movie, they decided to go to pizza place and eat lunch. Despite the stony glances between Jem and Gabriel, Cecily didn't mind that they'd also be eating together. She hadn't eaten breakfast and was foolish enough not to have popcorn during the movie. When they finished ordering, Jem needed to go the bathroom. He left with Gabriel and Cecily sitting across each other awkwardly. Cecily so wanted to mention the kiss and ask what they were now, but she couldn't find a way to casually open the topic.

"About last night," Cecily muttered, deciding to take a risk.

Gabriel smirked slightly, but this smirk was sort of like he was sharing an inside joke between them. "Last night?" he mumbled. He went and sat down beside her. "What about that?"

Cecily blinked. "I-uh- what does that makes us now?" she blurted out.

Surprisingly, Gabriel blushed. "Well," he stuttered, "if you want to, we can date." She felt her head spin at his words. This was so direct and forward. She never thought a guy would be ever interested in her. Boys stayed away from her because they knew Will would beat them up if they tried anything her. Yet here was Will's arch enemy asking her out. Sort of. She didn't know what to say. So she just kissed him.

That was a bold move, but Gabriel just moaned into her lips and kissed back. Someone cleared their throat. She pulled away and expected it would be Jem, but she was wrong. It was a waiter with their drinks. He awkwardly put their drinks on the table and left. "Well," she said, "that was interesting."

Gabriel seemed to be in deep thought. "Do you think we should have invited him?"

Cecily punched his shoulder. "Don't be stupid," she told him, grinning. "And if you did, you can kiss him. I am not kissing strangers."

"We must take risks for love," he joked. The word love made Cecily's skin tingle.

"But we can't tell anyone," Cecily warned him, remembering Will, "not yet."

He nodded. "You're right. I want to live a bit more."

Jem came back and frowned at them. "Weren't you sitting infront of Cecily?" he asked as he sat down across them.

"Nope," Cecily said, "you must be mistaken." Gabriel grinned.
