The Next Day- Masen's POV

I opened my eyes to a very uncomfortable brightness. Where am I?

"Good Morning, sleeping beauty." AJ said laughing. I realized that I was sitting on his lap and stood up. I looked around and saw that we were in the meadow.

"What time is it?" I asked sleepily. I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

"11:30" He said, standing up. He looked over at me, and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked. He put a hand on my shoulder.

"Have you seen your hair this morning?" I punched his arm.

"Oww. Now is that any way to treat your 'hero'?" He wiggled his eyebrows and laughed. I rolled my eyes.

"I was tired. I'd had a long day." I said, defending myself.

"Mhm." I started chasing him. We ran through the forest at full speed. I had almost caught him, when I saw something in the distance in front of us. I slowed down and saw that it was the Cullen household. I stopped running and was about to turn around and run in the opposite direction, when AJ grabbed me by my waist, to stop me.

"Wait. Your mom called last night and she wants the whole family to come to the house to talk about everything that's happened in the last couple weeks." he told me.

"What? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him.

"Because I knew you wouldn't come if I did." He responded.

"Exactly!" I turned again but he turned me back around.

"Masen, your mom wants us to be there." He said.

"Well, than you can go, but I don't want to." I crossed my arms.

"C'mon, Mase." He grabbed my hand and started pulling me, just hard enough that I was moving forward, but he wasn't hurting me.

"AJ, stop! I don't want to go!" I resisted and we stopped moving forward. I yanked my hand free and started running as fast as I could away from the house. It only took about 30 seconds for him to catch me and fling me over his shoulder though. "Put me down!" I was squirming trying to get him to let me go, but he had a good grip. He carried me into the house and set me down, after all the downstairs exits in the living room were blocked. Everybody was here, and they all stared at me. I glared at AJ. My mom stood up from her seat and walked over toward us.

"Thank you, AJ." My mom said to him, before she turned to face me. "C'mon, don't be getting mad at him, Mase. I'm the one who told him to bring you here." I crossed my arms and glared at her.

"Cheer up, sweetie." My mom said smiling.

"I don't want to be here. And I'm most definitely NOT going to 'cheer up'. I want to leave." My mom gave me a stern look, and then pointed to the couch.

"Sit, Masen." I groaned and sat down. My mom sat in her seat, next to my dad and AJ joined me on the couch. "Ok, Esme, you may begin." She started out by telling everyone about why we were here, which was to talk as a "family" about the past couple weeks. After about 2 minutes, I kind of zoned out, because honestly, I could care less what these people had to say. They lost all respect I had for them, the minute they left. Well, actually it was when I found out that Penny Head was my father.

"Masen? How would you feel about that?" I came back to reality at the sound of my mom's voice.

"About what?" I asked, completely lost.

"Where you even listening?" She asked.

"No…" I said quietly. "So how would I feel about what?" I asked, my heart racing at all the horrible possibilities that they could be asking about.

"Well, we were all thinking that maybe…Nessie, you, and I should move here, so we can all get to know each other better." I froze. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No! This can't be happening. I stood up and crossed my arms.

"Absolutely not!" I yelled. AJ tried to comfort me by holding my hand but I was still angry at him for bringing me here, so if anything it made me angrier.

"Masen, I know that it doesn't sound very appealing right now, but in the long run, it will be good for us. You can get to know the rest of your family." I flinched. "Your perspective on them might change. No, it will change." She tried convincing me. No, its bad enough that I have to see them at school, there's no way I can live with them.

"No!" I was literally shaking with fear and anger.

"I really hoped that I wouldn't have to do this, but Masen…you have no choice. We're moving in here, and you're going to at least try to get to know your family." She said, sighing. Tears filled my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.

"M-mom." I was having trouble speaking now and my breathing became unsteady. "Please, don't…" Her eyes were filled with pain.

"I'm sorry, Masen." She started staring at the floor, avoiding my gaze. The tears I had tried so hard to hold back were now falling from my eyes at a hundred miles per hour. AJ stood up, and pulled me into a hug, rubbing circles on my back. I would have told him to stop, but I couldn't find my voice.

"C'mon, Mase. It's not that bad. This is a good opportunity for the whole family." I heard my believed 'best friend' say. Oh my god. Even my AJ has betrayed me. I found my strength and pushed him off of me with all my might. He stumbled backward a few feet, but regained his balance quickly.

"How…How could you agree with them?" I sobbed. He started walking toward me.

"Mase…" He started. I stumbled backward, nearly falling trying to get away from him.

"What happened to you? Yesterday you were my best friend and today…Today you're just as bad as the rest of them!" I quickly walked toward the door, everybody moving out of my way. I could hear his all too familiar footsteps trailing me. "Don't. You. Dare. Follow. Me." I said through clenched teeth. I slammed the door, and began running, once again, but this time, I was alone.

READ!

Ok, I think you all have waited long enough for AJ and Masen to get together and I saw a pretty good opportunity for that to happen, so keep reading because it's coming up VERY soon. Possibly the next chapter (I don't have it written yet so any ideas would be very helpful).

Also if you have any ideas as to some of the things you want AJ and Masen to do after their dating, again, ideas would be helpful.

Point of everything I just said: Please Review. It's highly appreciated.
