I'm spoiling you all. Two chapters in one day! =)


"Where are you?" The voice on the other end said calmly but Jack could sense the underlying anger.

"I'm at home..." Jack turned the key in the ignition of his car and pressed the button for the garage door to open.

"I hope you are driving the rehearsal dinner which you are almost an hour late for," Mimi said coldly.

"Yep. I'll be there soon."

"You better. People are starting to talk." She hung up.

Jack rolled his eyes and put his phone in his pocket. He was definitely going to be even later for the rehearsal; he was driving Schuyler to the airport.

He knew very well that this could be the last time he ever truly saw her and felt what he felt for her. He wouldn't be unhappy though, it would be as though they had never met. Everyone else would know the truth but he wouldn't. After tomorrow Mimi would be the only dark star in his universe.

Jack had spent the entire day with Schuyler. They had gone for coffee in the morning, walked around Central Park enjoying the warm, sunny weather, and wandered through some stores. He had been sure to keep her away from the magazine racks which were plastered with pictures of Mimi and him and news about their "wedding". As far as he knew, Schuyler knew nothing about the looming bond.

Jack put the car in park outside the townhouse and waited for Schuyler to come out with all her luggage. He looked ahead and saw a teenage boy running down the sidewalk. Jack frowned. It was Oliver. Jack cut the engine and got out the car.

"What do you want?" Jack asked icily.

"Your dad is bloody mad! He's had me on lockdown for the past week and half!" Oliver said breathlessly. "His bodyguards smashed my phone when I texted her."

"How did you manage to get away from vampires?"

"They went to the rehearsal dinner. By the way, aren't you supposed to be there?" Oliver said raising and eyebrow.

Jack clenched his teeth.

"Anyways, I came to see Sky," Oliver said his eyes wandering up the windows of the townhouse.

"We were just leaving."

"She is going with you the dinner? Isn't she upset about the bonding?"

"I didn't say we were going to the dinner."

Oliver looked alarmed. "You're running away and taking her with you?"

"I'm not running away."

"Then what are you doing?" Oliver's eyes narrowed.


Schuyler dragged her two suitcases down the hallway. She had packed an awful lot for only a week's trip. She had considered going back to her room and repacking but she didn't have anytime. The Force private jet ran on a strict schedule and she couldn't afford to be late. Or maybe she could. She could miss the plane and not have to go to this unknown place to stay with people she barely knew. Her hand hovered above the door handle.

She heard arguing outside and yelling which caused her to open the door and see Oliver and Jack in a clearly heated disagreement.

"Ollie?" Schuyler hadn't seen him in a week. He hadn't called or texted at all.

Jack walked up the steps and grabbed both Schuyler's suitcases and put them in the trunk of the car. Oliver looked at her with a shocked and pained expression.

"Where are you going?" He said dryly.

"I'm going to Senovia," Schuyler said clutching the handrail.

"Senovia? You aren't supposed to know about that!" Olive exploded. "Senovia was the fucking reason I was placed on bloody lockdown! Who told you? Who fucking told you?" Oliver was in front of her now and shaking her.

"Why does it matter!?" Schuyler pushed him away from her. "It hasn't got anything to do with you." She pushed past him on her way down the steps.

"Oh I suppose he is going with you. I bet you'll both have a grand old time."

"No. Jack isn't going with me. Keep your comments to yourself." She spun around to face him. "I don't know what your problem is but ever since – "

Schuyler was cut off by Oliver who had closed the space between them and crushed his lips against hers. Schuyler was about to push him away but Jack had already ripped him away from her.

"Oliver! What was that for!?" Schuyler shrieked.

"Sky, I'm losing you." Oliver said breathlessly. Jack was still holding him by his shirt collar.

"No, you aren't. I'm going to be coming back to New York in a week."

"No," Oliver slapped Jack's arm away. "I'm losing you to him... again."

"Oliver, I can't talk about this right now."

"Sky you are going to lose him, do you really want to lose me as well?"

"We need to go." Jack whispered to Schuyler before getting into the car.

"Sky, don't go. Please. Not with him." Oliver pleaded.

Schuyler shook her head, her eyes filling up with tears.

"You're wrong for each other. The relationship will never work out."

"I love him."

"You said you loved me."

"It's complicated."

"So you didn't mean it?"

"Not in the way you wanted. I can't talk about this right now," Schuyler said reaching for the car door.

"Schuyler, this isn't going to end well and you know it." Oliver grasped her arm.

Schuyler took a breath.

"I'll be here waiting when he leaves you. I can only wait so long though."

Oliver stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked off down the street.

Schuyler opened the car door and slid inside.

"He'll be okay." Jack took her hand in his.

"I hope."


At most rehearsal dinners the Bride was all smiles while he groom stood besides her showing off his love. That was the exact opposite for Mimi. She looked stunning in a super short, diamond covered dress and off white pumps. Her lips were blood red and her long blonde hair was pulled into an intricate updo. But Mimi Force sat at her rehearsal dinner with her arms crossed and a sour look upon her face. The so-called "groom" was nearly two hours late. Things were not looking good. People were starting to ask questions.

Mimi stared down at her plate.

We're almost there.

She heard Jack. She looked back up, expecting to see him in the door but there was nobody; only guests mingling. She was hearing inside his mind. He had forgot to close it ; he was getting sloppy with his vampire abilities. He was on his way to the airport with Schuyler. Mimi almost screamed. He was running away. He was fucking running away! Mimi shot up out of her chair and stormed towards to doors of the ballroom.

"Where are you off to?" Charles stopped her and sipped on his champagne.

"I'm going to get him. He's trying to run with her." Mimi spat.

Charles spat out his champagne. "What?"

"They're on their way to the airport right now. Care to join me in stopping them?"

Charles put his glass down and both Mimi and him left the party. Jack Force would not be getting away with this.


Hearing Schuyler's confrontation with Oliver had only made Jack feel worse about what he was about to do. They both stood on the tarmac. Schuyler's bags were already on the plane and everything was ready to go. All that was left was to say goodbye. Jack took a deep breath.

"I got you something," He said reaching into his pocket.

"Really?"

Jack pulled a small blue gift box wrapped in a bow. Schuyler took it and opened it.

"Jack," Schuyler gasped. "It's beautiful!" She pulled the dainty gold locket out of the box.

"Look on the back." Jack smiled.

She turned it over and read the inscription: Yours always.

He watched as her eyes lit up.

She leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you."

Jack took the locket and put it around her neck. He smiled when he saw how beautiful it looked on her. He could feel his heart tearing into a million pieces.

"I just wanted you to know that no matter what, my heart will always belong to you."

"As does mine," She smiled.

JACK FORCE YOU ARE DEAD. HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING? ESPECIALLY WITH HER! YOU BETTER RUN BECAUSE ONCE I GET AHOLD OF YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET IT.

Jack heard Mimi's angry thought. Great. Way to ruin a moment.

"I guess you'd better go," Jack tucked a strand of hair behind Schuyler's ear.

"I'll see you in a week," Schuyler turned to go up the stairs to the plane.

Jack grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. He leaned in and kissed her with a passion. He savoured every bit of her, knowing that this would never happen again. He broke away and wrapped her in a hug. He could feel a lump forming in his throat.

"I'll miss you," He whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too," She whispered back.

She turned away again and went up the stairs to the plane. She turned around one last time and smiled and waved. Jack walked backwards, back to the terminal. He watched as the stairs were pulled away and the engines came to life. The plane began to move slowly down the runway; getting ready to take off. Jack felt awful. She hadn't suspected a thing. Schuyler trusted him so much that she hadn't suspected anything. He felt like he was going to throw up. He heard the roar of the engines and saw the wheels lift off the ground. Just as the plane began to fly, he heard a voice behind him.

"Where is she going?"

Jack turned around to face Charles and Mimi. Mimi looked ridiculous in a diamond covered mini-dress and a huge fur coat that touched the ground. He took a deep breath.

"Senovia. She is going to Senovia."
