Thank you for reading.

Grandma looked at the rag-tag group of teens that stood and sat in various places in her living room. Curled up on the couch were Ethan and Benny; next to them were Kendall and Logan, each couple holding hands. She smiled sadly at how happy they were. With a shake of her head, she looked at the rest of the people in the room. Sarah and Rory stood there, happily chatting with Carlos, who kept looking worriedly at the last two people in the room. Grandma let her eyes go to them, her lips now in a grim line. Standing in a corner, far away from the rest of the people, were James and Erica. James was jittery and shaky as he looked around the room, eyes not meeting anyone's. Erica looked bored, but serious as she kept a sturdy hand on James' arm, keeping him from sprinting out of the house.
"Thank you for coming everyone," Grandma said, making the teens all turn to look at her. She smiled sadly again and coughed a bit before speaking again. "I suppose you are all wondering why I had Benny and Ethan call you all here." There were murmurs of agreement among the teens and various nods. She nodded herself before she sighed. "Well… You all know that, like my grandson, I can do magic." James looked around perplexed while Carlos looked stunned. "Okay maybe all of you didn't know that… Anyway. James," she said, turning to the jittery teen, who stared at her, eyes wide. "This isn't the life for you. Do you want help?"
"Yeah James, grandma's blood substitute will help you a lot… Ya know, until you're ready for real blood," Sarah said, smiling at him. He shook his head, not saying anything.
"That's not quite what I was getting at Sarah, but thank you for the compliment… I guess," Grandma said uncertainly before looking at the hazel-eyed teen again. "But James… you were never meant for the life that Erica has given you." James took a shaky step forward, but was stopped by Erica.
"What are you talking about?" she asked the older woman harshly.
"Erica, James isn't meant to be a vampire."
"Like any of us had a choice!" she hissed, that vampire anger flaring up. "Besides, this life is so much better than any puny human life could ever be!"
"James already has a good life. Just because being a vampire worked for you doesn't mean it'll work for him," Grandma replied, voice still calm as she spoke. "It's his choice. James, do you want to be a vampire?"
"No," he said quietly, staring at his friends with a shaky gasp. "I… I don't want this life. Erica, I'm sorry. I like you, but you're kinda crazy," he said, now looking at her, eyes sad. She frowned and turned away from him. "I'm sorry," he said softly before turning to face Grandma. "How can you fix me?"
"Yeah Grandma, how can you fix him? I mean, if you can make him human again, why didn't you offer that option to us?" Sarah asked, making the older woman sigh and rub her temples.
"I knew that you were gonna ask that," she muttered before smiling tiredly at the young vampire. "Sarah, think about the life you have now. Can you honestly say that the life you had was better than this one?" Sarah was quiet for a minute before looking at the older woman.
"I had a future."
"You still do. Think about it. You can still go to college. Many women don't get taller after 17 and they don't start looking older for years… I know you don't get the life you wanted, but you can have a life." Sarah smiled softly and nodded.
"You're right." Grandma now smiled.
"Well, back to James. I do have a backwards potion that can make all of this go away, and you'll be human again."
"That's great!"
"But there's a catch," she said, looking at the happy couples on the couch. "It doesn't just affect James… I can make it back to the day you all arrived here in Whitechapel."
"So… We'll be back on the bus…" Logan started, making the older woman nod.
"And won't remember any of this. I can also make it to where your bus doesn't crash. You will go on with your lives."
"But then… Logan and I won't be together anymore," Kendall mumbled, looking at his boyfriend, who wasn't looking at him.
"That's not all. If what Grandma is saying is true… then we won't be together anymore either," Ethan said as he looked at Benny, whose eyes were wide.
"It's James' choice everyone. Let him decide."
…
James stood there, looking at his friends and the people who he had just met. As much as he didn't want to ruin their new lives, he really wanted to be human again. He watched as Kendall and Logan untangled away from each other before coming up to him.
"It's okay James," Logan said to his friend, who took a cautious step back. "You won't hurt us." James was jittery and held his breath. "James. Let Benny's Grandma help you." James spoke so quietly that Logan had to lean forward to hear him.
"I can't do that to you guys…" he mumbled, but Logan and Kendall both shook their heads.
"If we're meant to be together, then we'll find a way," Kendall said, smiling at James. "But what would be the point of us having a happy life together if one of our best friends wasn't there to drive us crazy?" James smiled but then looked at Benny and Ethan, who were watching him. As slowly as he could, he made his way to them.
"If I do this… you two won't be together…" He spoke slowly, as if he would scare them. But Benny and Ethan just smiled.
"We've been arguing about becoming more than friends for weeks now. Going back a few days' time to save a life won't change the fact that eventually-" Ethan started, only for Benny to interrupt.
"We'll be together," Benny finished, still with a happy smile. James smiled at them before turning to Grandma.
"Fix me."
…
Grandma had all the teens gather in her kitchen, which was cramped with so many people. James was still jittery, but Sarah and Erica both held on to him so he didn't do anything. As the older woman passed out steaming mugs of her potion, Benny and Ethan held onto each other as did Kendall and Logan. Carlos was quietly pestering James to show him his fangs just once before they all became human again, and Rory was staring intensely at one of her pots that was hanging on the wall. She shook her head, a soft, small smile on her lips.
"Everyone has to drink at the same time for it to work right," she said as she herself took one cup. "And you have to drink it all in one gulp." Everyone nodded their understanding as they all grabbed their cups.
"I love you," Kendall said suddenly to Logan, a small smile on his face. "I just wanted to make sure you know that."
"I love you too," Logan said as they shared a brief kiss. Benny and Ethan copied them before smiling at each other as well.
"Everyone ready?" Everyone nodded and, as one, they all drank the muddy liquid down in one gulp.

A dark tour bus chugged slowly through the pouring rain, all its occupants asleep except for the driver, who squinted to see through the downpour before him. He wanted to pull over and wait for this storm to pass, but he could barely see the road enough to even know where "over" was. Before he knew what was happening though the bus jolted. Luckily, it didn't spin or anything, it just continued on its way. The jolt had awakened only a couple of the sleeping occupants.
"Loges? You okay?" a croaky-voiced, sleepy-eyed blonde asked the shorter brunette, who had also woken up.
"Yeah, I'm okay. You?" he asked, rubbing his eyes to look at their surroundings. They were still on the bus as it got through some dense rain. Logan could see a small town outside the window, flying by along with some passing headlights. "Where are we?" he wondered out loud, only for the bus driver to quickly explain.
"Small town called Whitechapel. Just passing through then we'll be back on the main road to your next concert." Logan nodded and saw Kendall watching him.
"You okay Kenny?" he asked the blonde, who nodded then shook his head.
"I don't know. I had a … weird dream. Something about… magic… I don't know," he said as he shook his head again.
"Hmm… I had something similar to that… We probably saw a light outside the window in our sleep and our subconscious did the rest."
"I guess… Well I don't think I can sleep anymore. Want to sit up with me and listen to some music?" Logan nodded and moved next to Kendall, who wrapped his blanket around him before wrapping an arm around the slighter shoulders of his friend. Logan smiled at him as they shared headphones before placing his head on the blonde's shoulder. No words were said as the two friends fell asleep like this.

Ethan was tossing and turning in his bed, unable to sleep as he felt like something was amiss in his life. Only when he recognized the sound of his phone vibrating on the small table next to his bed; grumpily, he reached for it. Recognizing the smiling picture of his best friend, he tiredly answered the phone.
"What?" he asked, yawning as he did so. He heard a matching yawn before a tired voice responded.
"E?"
"Who else would answer my phone at … midnight?" he asked, glancing at his watch.
"Good point. I can't sleep. Can I come over?"
"And how do you expect to get in? I'm not sneaking you in through the front door."
"I'll climb through your window if I have to. I just … I want to see you," he said quietly, but Ethan still smiled.
"Be at my front door. And be quiet."
Ethan stared at Benny, who stared right back. Neither spoke, only looked. Ethan blinked and Benny grinned.
"I win!" he stated with a happy smile, to which Ethan rolled his eyes.
"I'm tired. Goodnight," he said suddenly, flipping over on his side to go to sleep. Benny forcibly rolled him back so he was facing him before lying down with him.
"Fine. Goodnight." Ethan stared at Benny, whose eyes were closed. With a soft smile, he too closed his eyes. He felt faint fingers ghost over his hand before settling gently on top of it. Now both with small smiles, the two boys fell asleep.
