A/N: Ach. This one isn't that great. Sorry. I'm kind of restless and it's been affecting the way I'm writing. I think I want to get one or two more chapters into this fic, but, like I said, I'm leaving tomorrow and I won't be back for a month. Sorry to those who are reading Between the Lines; I know I sort of promised you another chapter. God. I'm so flaky. Please don't hate me.

Disclaimer: Own, me? Nothing, no.
