"Aunt Jane, I need to talk to you," Erin said, walking into the living room confidently.

"I thought you might want to, but first, how was it with Danny... I didn't know you knew each other," Jane said, looking a little confused,

"Yesterday, he found me and brought me back,"

"Oh," She nodded, "Well he's a nice guy,"

"Yeah," Erin said, smiling, twisting her brown hair around her fingers. "Anyway, enough about Danny, I need to know, why?"

"It's a long story, I'm not sure now is the right time," Jane said, looking at her lap,

"When will be then?"

"Good point." She sighed and patted the spot of the sofa next to her, "Come and sit down." Erin went to sit, "Your Dad went to college in America, you know that right? Well he was meant to come back, to help our Dad run the family business, that's the whole reason he went."

"Yeah, so?"

"He met your Mum, and decided he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He came back, to talk to our parents. My dad, your Granddad, was a strict man, and he lost it with him. He hit him, so David left, without another word. He said nothing to mum. He kept writing to me, he told me what was happening in America, about joining the new company, about marrying your mum, but I never wrote back. I was scared of Dad. None of us were allowed to mention David. Then you were born, and I told Mum, when Dad was out. She just nodded, but I could see her expression, she was pleased, obviously, but more than that she was upset because she knew she would never get to meet you."

"But she did, we came over here when I was three!"

"Yes, Dad died, when you were two and I wrote to your Dad, he came over, with you and your Mum, I thought Mum would be happy, but she has this old fashioned thing, respecting and honouring your husband, and she wouldn't talk to any of you. Then your Mum tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't have it. And you never came back, David stopped writing to me. Then I got the letter from your Mum telling us about the accident. I wanted to come to the funeral but Mum wouldn't have it, she said she didn't have a son."

"So why did you bring me over here? When you knew this would happen!"

"I... I thought seeing you, grown up, might help, I was stupid and wrong,"

"You used me as an experiment," Erin said,starting to get outraged again, this woman cared nothing about her feelings.

"No, Erin, that's not what I wanted, I was stupid, but I... I'm sorry," Erin just shook her head and walked out of the room, leaving her aunt on the sofa with her head in her hands.

Belle was pacing around the barn, she had worn the Pants again, because she needed to. These sure did make things happen alright. She had seen Nick that morning again, and he had just laughed at her, while she scowled at him. She had never despised someone so much. Suddenly the barn doors opened. Nick walked in, overalls and all.

"Hey, you still wearing those pants?" He said, smirking, as usual.

"What of it,"

"Well, you know, why do they have writing on them? It's a little... weird isn't it?"

He had NOT just dissed the Pants had he? There was no way... "What did you just say?" She said, quietly, feeling anger bubbling up inside her.

"Those pants, they're a bit weird, with the writing an' all." Before she knew it, Belle was flying across the barn, smack into him, ramming him to the ground. She stood up, dusted herself off, leaving him on the ground, open mouthed in shock.

"Don't diss the Pants!" She said, and she walked out with a smug grin on her face.

Erin was sitting on her bed when Justin came in.

"Hi,"

"Hey J, you alright?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask you that!" He smiled, and sat down next to her. She realised he looked a little like her dad. A lot in fact.

"You look like my dad," She stated, pointing to a picture of him and Aunt Jane when they were teenagers.

"Yeah, my mum always says so. When Gran isn't there of course." He smiled again, but Erin could tell he was a little worried,

"Are you ok? Your not worried about family issues? Because it will be ok, eventually, I hope anyway," Erin didn't know when she had realise this, but she knew it was true.

"No, I should be but no, I'm worried about Pete, he didn't come back last night, but I didn't tell Mum, he would usually be back by now though, but he hasn't been in."

"We should look for him, I'll call Danny!" Erin said, getting up quickly.

Dear Hazel,

I wasn't sure who else to write to, but I need to write, I am so annoyed! Angry! And yet I feel very smug! Let me explain, yesterday, while wearing the Pants (I'll send them soon, only a week and a bit to go, lucky you!) this guy bumped into me. Spilling my drink all over me, (a little got on the Pants) it then turned out that this ignorant pig, was Nick, a guy who works at my Aunt's farm! So he is being all smug and ignorant today, and I was about to lose it, when he came into the barn and insulted the Pants. So I did loose it. I smacked into him and he ended up on the ground, it was great! Totally exhilarating! Stupid idiot that he is!

Love Belle,

p.s say hi to Russ for me, you two have been hanging out right? I'm glad, I thought I was getting in the way of your friendship!

Hazel was showing the letter to Russ, who was laughing.

"That is totally Belle, I can't believe she smacked him though!" Hazel said, laughing too.

"I can! She hit me once you know! It was quite funny."

"We'd better be off!" They were going to another party, Hazel was so glad they'd bumped into each other, it was definitely nice getting to know him again.

Russell was wearing jeans and casual top, and Hazel was wearing a dress over jeans combo, they linked arms and walked through the neighbourhood to Russell's friend's house. Already there was music pumping and teenagers dancing as they walked in.

Marianna was also dancing, she was at a club with Hayden, Gavin and Bobby. Gavin and Bobby had each sat down, chatting to girls but her and Hayden were still dancing and drinking their cheap beer.

She wound in close to him, smiling up at him. "This is fun right?" She shouted,

"Yeah, you're hot you know!" He laughed,

"Thanks," She said, wiggling her eyebrows. Now, he will totally kiss me, she thought, but he just carried on dancing.

Erin, Justin and Danny were cruising the streets in Danny's car. They were all keeping an eyeout for Pete.

"Try Julie's," Justin said,

"They split up," Danny stated,

"Shit," Justin cursed, Erin could see him racking his brain for a place his brother might be.

"Don't worry J, we'll find him, maybe we should tell Aunt Jane."

"He would kill me," Justin said, but Erin knew he was considering it.

"There he is," Danny said, swerving round a corner. They all jumped out and Justin shoved Pete, who was casually walking down the street. Danny grabbed him,

"Whoa, what's up little bro'?" Pete said, smiling dazedly,

"Where've you been man?" Danny said, "You didn't go home last night,"

"Yeah I was with Kate, hey Erin!" He smiled at her.

"You are an idiot!" Justin said, pulling away from Danny and walking back to the car.

Erin followed him and they got in the back. Danny was driving back when Pete said to him,

"So you're friends with my brother as well as my little cousin are you now Dan? People'll be talking about you,"

"Shut up," Danny said,

"What's that supposed to mean?" Erin said, leaning forward.

"Dunno about in America, but here its illegal, you're under 16!" before Erin had a chance to say anything, Danny pulled up quickly.

"Get out now,"

"Hey I was only joking!"

"Just get out Pete," Pete looked at him, but Danny continued to stare forward. He got out, and waved at them as they drove off.
