"You're not Juliet." He said quietly, averting her gaze.

"No... I'm sorry."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Teddy Duncan."

He sighed deeply and his incredibly sad expression made her want to cry.

"You really loved her, didn't you?"

"She was... the best thing that ever happened to me."

"What happened?"

But he only shook his head sadly.

"I'm sorry. It's none of my business."

"No, it's okay. My sister's boyfriend scratched Juliet and caused her to lose her vampire powers and then she told me that she wasn't really a teenager. She was a lot older and I mean a lot!"

This wasn't making any sense whatsoever, but Teddy decided to play along.

"How old is she, like 40 or something?"

"2,193."

"Whoa! That's really old! H-how is that even possible? The only people who are that old are-."

"vampires." He finished.

"So... Juliet was a vampire."

"She is one. I guess she just..."

Teddy wanted to laugh. This was the most insane person she'd ever met-or the worst liar she'd ever met. He must be desperate for attention to make up a story like that.

For a split second, she considered leaving. He was obviously very deranged. Her mom would probably take one look at Justin and send him the psych unit at the hospital.

But the sadness in his eyes was unmistakable. And as much as she wanted to be furious with him, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She'd never seen a boy look this sad before... ever... not even her brothers or her dad.

He really had loved this vampire named Juliet... very much. And when he'd mistaken Teddy for Juliet... his one true love... she'd proceeded to break his heart.

She reached out and took his hand.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly. "I know how much it hurts... losing someone like that. I mean... Spencer broke my heart and I didn't think the pain would ever go away. I hardly feel it anymore, but every once in a while..."

She blinked in surprise when they both spoke at once.

"It comes back."

"I'm sorry too." He said turning to face her. "Did you love him?"

Teddy nodded. "I was devastated when he broke up with me. I don't think anyone will ever love me that way again."

"I felt the same way." Justin said.

"But someone did?"

"Yes..." he said as though remembering.

"What was she like?"

"Her name was Rosie and she was beautiful. A perfect smile... long red hair... and I really loved her."

"So what happened?"

"We couldn't be together."

"What? Why not?"

"She's an angel of darkness."

"Excuse me?"

He looked deeply into her eyes and swallowed hard.

"Teddy, there's something I think you should know."

"Okay..."

"I'm not... normal."

"So?" Teddy scoffed. "No guy is normal! I mean, my brothers and dad are so-."

"I'm a wizard."
