Please, please don't hate me! I have good reasons for the long wait. Ok, they aren't that great, but one of them is pretty epic. I found out someone had plagiarized one of my twilight stories on this site. I was so angry that I considered not writing here anymore and taking down all my stories. I will not do that though, I promise.

On a happier note, thanks for all the reviews! They were great. It seems some of you liked the kiss and others thought it was out of character for Warren.

Personally, I don't think it was. Why is that? Let me explain. Warren wasn't the main focus of the movie, and what we normally saw of him was a bad ass guy with daddy issues. He did show a softer side while with Layla at certain moments. This let us know he was a good guy. The main point is, we don't really know that much about him. How would he act if he was in love? How would he act with his family members? We don't really know. So basically, to say that him kissing a girl is out of character, I don't really agree. He told her to shut up, therefore keeping some of his bad boy edge, yet still showing that he has feelings.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that I don't think I wrote him out of character at all because we don't know much about him to start with. Everyone on this site always tries to make him out to be this big tough bad boy, but maybe he doesn't always act like that outside of school. So, I think he is free to have any personality that anyone wants to give him.

I'm not trying to fight any reviews, because I totally agree that it was a very random kiss. But that was how I wanted it to happen. And I'm not trying to fight with anyone, I just wanted to say my ideas on the subject of Warren's character.

Oh, and just because he kissed her, doesn't mean he likes her. Roxie's problems are just starting.

　

By the time I realized that Warren's lips were on mine, I could feel the tears slipping out of my eyes. No, I wasn't crying because we were kissing. I was crying because I just realized what had happened to me. I had been under some crazy trance and I wasn't really sure how to feel about it. How is anyone supposed to feel after having someone take control of their body?

"Hey, hey, calm down. You're alright," whispered Warren. Calm down? Yeah, right. I was pretty much sobbing by now. I was so loud that I basically had the whole restaurant looking at me. "Come on Roxie, let's get you out of the public eye." I heard a chuckle come from him, and if I wasn't in such a state, I would have punched him in the face. Laughing at a time like this, what a jerk.

Warren took me into the back, break room of the restaurant. He sat me down in a chair and walked away. I wanted to grab hold of his hand and make him stay with me, but that seemed a little clingy. I wanted to try and seem somewhat brave. I was already a crying mess. I wanted to at least try to make it seem like I didn't need him every second. When Warren came back, he was holding a cup in his hand. He handed it to me, and I slowly sipped the water that was inside. I was no longer having a panic attack, but I still had some tears falling down my face. Warren kneeled in front of me and placed a hand on my cheek. His thumb slowly got rid of the tear that was in the process of making its way to my chin.

"Thank you," I whispered. I took a hold of the hand that was on my face and gave it a squeeze. "You saved me."

"Just doing my job as your hero," he said, with a small laugh. He seemed almost uncomfortable with me thanking him. I didn't really understand why. I wasn't the first time he had saved me. It was like the third. Sure, this was the biggest save, because it was a real, out of school problem, but still, it wasn't the first save. I looked up into his eyes, and gave him a small smile. He seemed to finally realized just how close we were. Giving a small cough, he let go of my hand and stood up. "We should call your mom, or something." He was trying to change the subject. I knew that. I wasn't going to fight him right now though. I wanted to forget about Justin. I wanted to ask him about the kiss. Now was not the time though.

"Yeah, that is probably a good idea." I pulled out my cell phone from my purse and called my house.

"Hello?" came my mom's voice.

"Mom?"

"Roxanne? Whats wrong? Aren't you on your date?"

"I need you to come get me at the Paper Lantern."

"What happened? You sound upset."

"Mom, I have a lot to tell you."

To say my mom freaked out would be an understatement. When I first told her what had happened, she rushed me home, hugged me so tight I didn't think she would let go, and then she did something I found so hard to believe. She called my father. My father wasn't a hero and he wasn't a sidekick. He was normal. He traveled a lot for work, and had been away for a week or so. Normally, he didn't like getting involved with all the power stuff, but when he heard what happened, he freaked. He told us he would be home as fast as he could.

I was currently sitting in the living room of my house. I was still in the same clothes from my date, so i was still wet. Mom hadn't given me a chance to go change. She wanted to have a serious talk about everything. I had Jasper sitting on my lap and Berko was at my feet. I told them what had been going on. Jasper was pretty pissed off and Berko, well, he didn't really understand. All he knew was someone was being mean to me and he decided that I couldn't leave his sight.

"I can not believe this happened! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't you tell your teachers, or the principal? Roxanne, you need to tell people when you need help. You aren't a hero, you're hero support. You can not do this all on your own!" my mom cried. She was freaking out worse than me by now.

"Mom, calm down before you..." But it was too late. With a small little "pop" sound my mother was no longer standing before me. Well, my mother's human form was no longer standing before me. In her place was a small brown cat.

"Look at what you made me do Roxanne. You like seeing your mother like this? Cause, you know I'm not a fan of being in my cat form!"

"Another cat! Another Cat!" yelled Berko, getting up and going after my mom.

"Oh wonderful! I'll be back!" Mom yelled, running out of the room. If you haven't guessed, my mothe'rs power is turning into a cat. Not a powerful cat. She was just a normal, everyday, domestic house cat. She coudl change into the form at will, but she couldn't really control the power. Whenever she gets really stressed out, she just changes form. When this happens, she can't change back right away. She can only change back when she has calmed down enough. Unlike Magenta, she doesn't change back with her clothes on either. This makes it kind of strange when she randomly changes in front of people.

"You know, your mom makes kind of a cute cat," said Jasper. He loved seeing mom as a cat.

"Shut up Jasper," I said, taking him off my lap and standing up. Normally, I thought that it was funny that he found her cute as a cat, but right now, nothing was funny. It was late and I had had enough stress for one day. I walked into my room, changed into some nice pjs, and went to sleep.

The next morning, I didn't feel like getting out of bed. I felt like sleeping all day. I would have done that too, if my mom hadn't stuck her head inside my room to wake me.

"Roxanne, Warren is here to see you." I got up faster than I ever had and changed my clothes in record time. I ran to the living room, and found my hero playing with Berko. He stopped the second he saw me enter the room.

"Hey," Warren said. "How are you feeling today?"

"Emotionally exhausted."

"I bet you are." We stood there for a couple seconds, not saying anything. The silence wasn't comfortable. Something had changed between us, and it wasn't a good change. I looked over at him. He didn't look relaxed. His body was all stiff, and he looked as if he was ready to run away any second. Why would he want to run from me? Was he scared of me for some reason? I wasn't the one who kissed him, he was the one who kissed me.

"Look, about yesterday.." I started.

"What about yesterday?" he asked quickly.

"Well, the kiss, it was.. well.. I mean.. it was, nice."

"Roxie, look, it was just a kiss," he said, with a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, it didn't mean anything. You were in that crazy trance and I was just happy once you got out of it. I shouldn't have kissed you, I was just stuck in the moment."

"You came all the way over here just to say that? Don't you think that could have waited?" I asked. I was getting angry now. Ok, he didn't like me. I get it. This was not the time to be telling me all this. I was already stressed out. I didn't need anymore bad news.

"I came over here to make sure you were ok." He sounded angry now too. I could even feel the heat coming off of his body. I walked over to the front door and opened it.

"Well, as you can see I'm fine. Now, I think you better leave."

"Roxie, why are you acting like this." He is lucky he didn't ask why I was acting like a bitch. I knew that was what he meant, but if he had actually said it, I so would have punched him.

"Cause you're being a jerk. First you hate me, then we're friends, then you flirt with me, then save me, then you kiss me, and now you don't like me again. Really, I just can't take you right now."

"Would you stop acting like this. We are friends."

"No Warren. We aren't friends. I'm just your fucking sidekick. Now get out of my house." When he stormed past me, I was so surprised I wasn't burned.

I was surprised with myself for swearing but it was needed. I couldn't deal with this crap right now. So, instead of dealing with it, I went right back to bed. I would deal with Justin, and Warren, and life when the weekend was over. Come Monday, I know my mom was going to march me right into the principal's office to tell her everything that happened. So, for now, I just wanted to try and forget. Too bad forgetting Warren's kiss was never going to happen.

Ok, I know that this chapter was wicked short. I just wanted to get something out for everyone to read to let you all know I'm still alive. Yes, I'll try to update much faster. I'm sure I'll be able to. I just needed time to get over my anger from being plagiarized. Now that I'm over it, and my writers block is gone, I can start updating this story faster. Thank you to everyone who is still reading this and once again, I'm so so so sorry for taking so long!
