I have a confession: This chapter could have been finished and Beta read by wednesday night if it wasn't for me getting sidetracked by tv, watching jp play Minecraft and me playing Terraria. Constantly.

Toby: Wait! You mean I've spent around 24 hours sitting awkwardly in a car with Cece and Georgia because you're easily distracted?

Me: I'm not easily distracted! I just . . . Ooh! Something shiny! *completely lost focus*

Toby: *sighs* Well, here's chapter 10 everyone . . .


"Tell me the full story."

I looked over to Cece, who was sitting in the back with me, silently asking her if we should tell her.

"It's okay, Mom knows about my ability." the red head whispered. I nodded and looked back at Cece's Mum.

"Miss Jones-" I started.

"Georgia." she interrupted.

"Sorry . . . Georgia . . . Anyway, as you know from Cece there are people in this world who aren't human. Tonight I had to deal with one. A demon named Damien, before you ask – yes it was the new Shake It Up dancer, had planned to take Rocky and ultimately make her his mate. I was sent here to stop him because that's my job, I'm a Hunter you see. I track down supernatural beings who are being reckless and either exposing the supernatural world or are planning on causing harm to humans. I stopped him"

"And the explosion . . .?" she asked, letting all the previous information sink in.

"Ah, that was my fault. Sorry. But I'll pay for some of the damages I caused." I saw Georgia's look and continued, "Hey, I'm not made of money y'know!"

Georgia rolled her eyes and started the engine, finally heading to the hospital.


The trio had just gotten out of the car and quickly made their may into the hospital.

"Hey . . . Where's Flynn?" Cece asked, finally registering that her brother had not been mentioned or seen since this morning.

"He's staying round Henry's" Georgia told her.

After walking into the hospital,Toby walked straight over to the desk, mumbling quietly for some time before checking in and taking a seat by the Jones'. They slipped into a comfortable silence for around 20 minutes until a blonde doctor stepped out and called out Toby's name, who got up and followed the doctor into a nearby, empty room.

The doctor quickly informed Toby that his arm was broken and his wrist was sprained then proceeded to put a cast over his arm.

Toby also told the doctor about his possible concussion and had that checked. He did indeed have a mild concussion and was told to take it easy for the next day or so.

The two walked back to the waiting room, the doctor put his hand his shoulder and stopped him, "Don't worry about paying Toby, I still owe you for saving me." he smiled, his eyes flashing a deep red for a split second and the young hunter smiled back. About a year ago him and Kim saved the doctor, who was half vampire, and his family. He had been eternally grateful and offered free hospital treatment and a place to stay if either of them needed it.

Toby walked into the waiting room and let Cece and her Mum know that he was good to go.


The car ride home was awkward to say the least. Mom was still letting everything Toby told her sink in, Toby was absent-mindedly staring out of the window, lost in thought I assumed, and I didn't know whether to start conversation or let the silence continue.

Not long later Toby let Mom know where his hotel was before silence fell upon us again. I looked out of my own window and stared up at the stars twinkling in the indigo sky above.

It had never occurred to me how easily someone could be damaged and broken until tonight. Toby had come close to dying and Damien was half dead after Rocky shot him . . . Rocky, damn! She must be feeling terrible right now! "Mom?" I said quietly, "Would Rocky be able to stay round tonight? She probably wouldn't want to be alone right now . . ."

I raised my head and saw Mom nod "You're probably right." I pulled out my phone and texted Rocky. Wanna stay round 2nite? X

It wasn't long before I got my reply. If thts ok thn sure x.

Course it's fine, txt ya wen im home x

I looked back out of the window and mused. Perhaps I should tell Rocky about how I feel about her. Life is short after all.


I carefully stepped down the fire escape and came back in through the window. Cece was sitting on the sofa staring blankly at a still turned off television. "Hey Cece." I mumbled. My best friend turned her head and smiled.

"Hey Rocks." she spoke softly, rising from her seat and walking over to me. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she pulled me into a hug and I buried my head in her neck.

"Not bad but not good either." I muttered against her skin. I swear I felt her shudder but who knows. It's been a long day.

"Understandable." she said "Wanna go to bed?"

"Sure"

Not long later we were both lying in bed. I was wrapped in Cece's arms, her chin resting on my head. I had my arms around her waist and rested my head in the crook of her neck.

I wouldn't admit it but I really needed this tonight. I was still upset about what happened and I think Cece could sense it. I sighed slightly and Cece tightened her arms somewhat.

I felt my eyes droop and sleep started to overcome me.

The last thing I remember thinking is that going to sleep like this every night, wrapped in Cece's arms, would be a great way to go to sleep.

And an even better way to wake up.


A little, fluffy scene right at the end there, hope all you readers enjoyed it.

Just a note, Toby's British (like me) so that's why he (I) says "Mum" while Cece says "Mom".

Also, I should open chapters with Toby more often! It's pretty fun! :)

Final note: Reviews make me giddier then a chipmunk on drugs. They are much appreciated.
