Summary: Caden has grown up and is sixteen-years-old now. He and his family live in the cloudiest town in North Dakota, where it always snows, rains, and the sun is almost never out. Caden goes to the high class private Hogwarts Academy for the Specially Gifted and Talented with his old middle school friends. High school is rough on Caden due to bullies, just like middle school was, and Caden is becoming more withdrawn from his family. He gets angry, hateful, and sometimes he acts like he just doesn't care, and his family wants to make Caden see that those bullies mean nothing. Caden's faithful groups of friends stick by his side in the journey of finding himself in high school. Edward simply needs to save Caden from himself as his second high school year goes on.

Part 3 Chapter 4: Study Study, Holding it Together

''Caden! Hannah and Susan are here!'' Alice called out happily and skipped up the stairs with the two Hufflepuff girls following with smiles at seeing their friend again. Alice skipped away while the two humans stayed in the living room chatting away as they heard some foot steps on the stairs.

Caden came running gracefully and softly down the wide case of stairs with a grin at seeing the two girls out of uniform and in more comfortable clothes and some bags on their shoulders. Emmett chuckled at his little brother jumping down the steps from his place in front of the television.

''Hey girls! Come on up! Neville and Hermione are upstairs in my room working on Algebra, and Ernie and Justin are playing the DS.'' Caden greeting and gave each of them a hug normally.

''Okay! I just wanted to say that my mom might call your home phone later to see if I'm really here and stuff like that.'' Susan warned with a wave of her hand. ''She still doesn't trust me somehow.'' She mumbled.

Caden nodded with a laugh.. ''Not a problem, Sus. My mom will most likely answer it. She'll tell her that you're really here.''

Susan nodded and agreed to it and her and Hannah ran upstairs with their bags to see Hermione and Neville in Caden's room with Ernie and Justin; just like Caden had said.

Caden went into the kitchen to see his mother cleaning things up and looked to him with a smile. Esme was quite happy to hear that Draco and Caden have tried a relationship out . While Esme knew Edward wanted his mate to try out other people before he made his move: the mother knew that it was difficult for her vampire son to see them and smell them after their little sessions.

Caden was quite the hormonal teenager since Draco had given him a blow job for the first time. He was used to Emmett's teasing about it, and he just ignored it now. Emmett would never change, and Caden didn't mind it one bit. he was satisfied with Draco's touches. He wouldn't lie about that.

What did bother the Cullen human; his brother Edward was more and more distant with him. While he would talk when Caden engaged him in conversation – which was difficult to do on a good day – afterwards, he would disappear for hours. Caden wasn't even able to sleep in his room anymore due to Edward never being there at night anymore. The human was so confused and thought Edward might hate him at times due to his relationship with Draco. Caden didn't react to it though. He thought that Edward would get used to it and act normal again when he knew that Draco wouldn't do anything to him without Caden's approval.

Draco Malfoy was proper with things in a relationship. While he took what he wanted in sly ways that made Slytherin house proud: he did it with approval. He wouldn't take without Caden saying yes in different ways. Draco and Caden still acted like they did before. They hung out, played video games, practiced piano, homework, and spoke like normal. The only few differences: Draco and Caden openly showed affection to each other in school and out. Holding hands was like second nature to the two teenage geniuses, and also those small sweet kisses they would share at random times.

Luna seemed to enjoy the time they spent together, and also Hermione. Those two girls liked to spy on the two boys when they had what they classified as 'alone time'. Ginny one the other hand, hated it. She officially began drama making more and more when she discovered that Caden – who she had liked since she knew him – was taken. By a male no less. Ron was just oblivious like always. He didn't care about anything.

Draco had discovered the day after Ron had turned in his test for music class that he used his and Caden's personal song. Draco had lost it and let the Weasley have it. Stating that it was personal, and he should have asked anyway instead of stealing that song. Ron was stumped stupid after that. He didn't see the problem in borrowing the song. After that, Draco, Caden and Ron along with Ginny had cut ties with each other. They weren't vest friends, and the tension between the four people just kept going up and up,and Griffindor house and Slytherin house was at a stand still in Caden's circle of friends.

Caden hated that they were fighting, but he agreed with his boyfriend: Ron should have asked first, not just take it. Esme had wondered what was happening between the two boys and the Weasleys, but she didn't question it after Caden asked her not to. Carlisle had seen his son distresses over the subject, so he hadn't brought it up either. Ron had been Caden's friend for years, and when he learned that the Weasley used Draco and Caden's song that they had made together, he thought he understood.

That song was important to Caden Cullen. Everyone knew it. Draco had taken it the most personal due to him actually creating the melody for Caden himself. The Malfoy didn't bring it up when he was around Caden. He knew that Caden felt betrayed by the Griffindor, and wouldn't talk about it in any way. It was really only a matter of time until the easy sailing Cullen blew up and dealt with it at last.

''Hey mom?'' Caden asked and leaned against the counter.

Esme looked to her son. ''Yes, baby?''

''Do we have any soda? Or is none of it cold?'' Caden questioned his mother who went to the fridge and pulled a few for her baby and his friends.

''I'll put more in here later. Don't drink too much, dear. Your father will flip if you are wired on sugar.'' Esme teased with a smile.

Caden laughed. ''I know. Jasper does the exact same thing.''

''Yep. Your emotions are difficult to handle when you have too much sugar in your system.'' Jasper glided in the room with a raised eyebrow.

Caden shrugged. ''Not my fault. Sugar is delicious.''

Jasper rolled his dark eyes. ''Have fun not sleeping, little brother. Oh. Edward wanted to speak with you later if you're not too busy with your friends.'' He propositioned softly, not knowing if his brother would just ignore him on the subject again or accept it and let his emotions go.

Caden shrugged and put the sodas in a bag with a few snacks for the people upstairs in his room. ''if he wants to. I didn't know Edward needed to go through someone else to just talk to me.'' Caden asked softly and turned his emeralds to his brother who seemed a little saddened. ''He just needs to stop and talk to me. I'm not that fragile. I can take what he has to say. That is: if he even has something to say.''

Caden finished and left the room silently with the bag to leave upstairs.

Esme sighed lightly. She didn't like this situation between her two sons. She knew Edward wanted to let Caden explore and experiment with humans, but at the same time; he wanted Caden for himself. The vampire in Edward was slowly becoming angry with his mate being sexually active with another man. A human no less. An inferior male in his eyes.

Jasper shook his head but didn't comment. He knew Caden didn't understand mate and vampire connections. He didn't even know that he was a mate to Edward. The behavior of Caden wasn't really submissive mate actions. The submissive mate to a vampire was usually eager to do what the dominate wished right away. Caden was just so different. Maybe he would change when Edward told him, but Jasper just didn't know.

'You're kidding, right?'' Caden asked dryly as he stood with a hand on his hip.

He was in his brother's room at his request to speak with him. Edward was sitting on his bed with his elbows on his knees as he looked entire serious.

Caden couldn't believe what his brother was asking him to do.

''Repeat that please, Edward. I don't think I heard it right.'' Caden requested dryly.

Edward nodded. ''Of course. Break up with Draco. Now.'' Edward ordered seriously.

Edward just couldn't take it anymore. He wished for Caden to experiment, and he did. Quite a few times actually, so he was satisfied that his brother had done that. Now; Edward wanted his mate single, and untouched again. Draco was a nice teenager, and good to Caden, but Caden Cullen belonged to Edward Cullen. End of story.

Caden shook his head. ''Unbelievable. Edward. Why? I like Draco, and he likes me. I'm not breaking up with him because you want me to.'' He told his brother firmly.

Edward could feel his vampire begin to surface at the rejection of the order he gave out, and pushed it down as much as he could. He wouldn't lose it. Caden was too precious to scare because he couldn't handle himself.

''Just do it, Caden. I know you like him, but – just do it.'' Edward told him.

Caden scoffed and rubbed his head. His brother wasn't even giving him a good reason to just break off his three day relationship with Draco. Who happened to be a very lovely boyfriend to have.

''Edward. We'll talk later. When my friends leave tomorrow, okay? Not now. Draco and Luna are about to go crazy with Hermione talking about politics again for no reason.'' Caden said truthfully and turned around to walk to the closed door. Hermione was going crazy with the new revelation of senators for some reason, and Draco never cared for politics. Luna just didn't know anything.

Caden was about to open to the door to leave, but a hand stopped him from opening it. Caden sighed when he saw that pale hand on the door, easily keeping it closed with that strength.

''Edward. Don't be like this. What is with you lately?'' Caden asked and looked to his brother and stopping himself from speaking again.

Edward's eyes had gone black, and Caden hushed himself smartly.

''Caden; do not turn your back to me.'' Edward told him softly with a hint of something Caden couldn't place.

Edward really didn't like the fact that his mate had walked away before he finished talking, and decided something on his own without Edward agreeing.

The human Cullen nodded silently. Caden knew Edward wouldn't hurt him in anyway, but that vampire of his was close to the surface. Caden knew vampires were nothing to trifle with in anyway. He was family, but he was still a breakable human that could easily be crushed from the strength they possessed.

Edward paid no mind to the thoughts of Caden.

''Have it your way, Caden. We'll have a talk after your friends leave tomorrow at noon at the latest. The Malfoys included. Until then; enjoy your time, and have fun.'' He stated softly and moved his hand from the door. He could hear Emmett from his room next door telling him to let Caden return to his friends. He knew his older brother was planning to enter the room after the human left the room.

Caden opened the door calmly and left for his room at the end of the hall. He could faintly hear Emmett go into the room and drag his brother away to most likely hunt.

Caden wanted to know what the hell was going on.

''But did you know?'' Hermione asked softly.

Hermione was sitting on the bed with Luna and the two Hufflepuff girls listening to Caden talk about school life. The boys were in the game room playing a video game together from the noises they were making.

Caden sighed. ''I knew that she liked me, but damn it! I don't like her! I'm gay!'' He told her.

Hannah nodded. ''We know, honey. But you have to make her understand that you have no interest in her. You can't lead her on.'' She said gently.

The Cullen nodded. ''I know I know. How do I do it? She won't take no for an answer. I've tried.''

Susan understood that. Ginny Weasley was really a nuisance that just needed to take a hint. ''We know that. Just let her have it. You're taken, gay, and not into her.'' She instructed.

Luna hummed and continued filing her nail with the file she got from Rosalie. ''It'll take a few times to get it through her head, but she'll eventually take the hint.'' She said dreamily.

The Cullen nodded. Her trusted Luna's judgment from her feelings. ''I can try.'' He finalized.

Hermione agreed and patted her friend's shoulder. ''How's Draco been to you?'' She asked with curiosity.

Caden smiled and bit his lip. ''He's awesome. He's a really cool guy. Nothing has really changed, but things just feel so different between us.''

Susan cooed. ''You two are so cute together!''

Hannah agreed with the two Ravenclaws. Caden totally agreed. Draco and him were a lovely couple in his mind. His mother and father encouraged him, Emmett and Rosalie, Alice and Jasper. Not Edward though. Edward just suddenly turned to hating the blonde. He didn't understand it at all.

He wanted to talk to him about it, but something just told him something big was going to happen.

I'm sorry again! Tons of junk is happening. I am helping out the Colonel with her sister that had a baby, so things are somewhat stressed for me.I know it's short, but again: I'm just in a stressful situation with home and friend's niece. I wanted to keep you on your toes for the next chapter.

I'll attempt to update quickly, but again: babies are spontaneous :)
