Hey again! I just wanted to say, thank you for the reviews, I really liked hearing what you guys thought of the story. Thank you so much for reading and for reviewing. :). Well anyway, This chapters longer and i'm hoping to write an even longer chapter for chapter 3. I also have decided that i'm going to write another story, but i'm thinking I might still continue this one!

Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me, they belong to the fabulous Richelle Mead. I kind of wish I owned every single one of these characters, but I don't. However, there are a few new characters that I made up that I do own :)

Oh, and I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes, I try to do my best to proofread, but I can be a fail at it sometimes.

Eddie's POV

Mia Rinaldi. I thought of the gorgeous moroi that I had just held in my arms. I wanted to kiss her so badly! She was too good for me, with her perfect face and shining smiley eyes. I looked back and saw her standing where I had left her, frowning. Could she have wanted that kiss as much as I did? I dismissed that thought, knowing that Mia could never have feelings for a guardian. I walked off with Rose still thinking of Mia.

I thought about her all day. I simply couldn't get her off my mind. Rose approached me, "Okay, so what's up? Why have you been in a daze all day?"

"I don't know. I can't concentrate on anything I guess," I replied.

Rose looked at me and then asked, "Does this have anything to do with Mia?" I looked at her in shock, how did she know? She smirked at my shocked face and continued, "Well, there happens to be a party tonight and Mia just might be there." My face lit up at the thought of seeing Mia again. Rose noticed this and said, "Just be careful Eddie, I don't want any hearts broken." I gave her a quick nod and walked away to get ready for this so-called party.

Rose stopped to pick me up for the party at nine. She was wearing a very revealing red cocktail dress and her brown hair cascaded down her shoulders. I immediately decided I couldn't let her go out looking like that. "Rose, you can't wear that. It's too revealing," I stated.

She glared at me, "Sorry Eddie, I can wear what I want. But what are you wearing?"

I had on the same white t-shirt from earlier and some jeans. "What?" I asked defensively.

She just looked at me and replied, "Your dressed perfectly for a rock concert but for a party? No way. Here, let me see all of your clothes." I walked her over to my suitcase and she picked out in what her words was "the perfect outfit". I took her arm in mine, and we walked to the party.

The party was the craziest I had ever seen. Probably every dhampir and Moroi that I had ever met was here, plus more. I had no idea how I was going to find Mia. All of a sudden, I heard a loud scream. I ran towards it. Three Moroi guys were surrounding a Dhampir girl. "C'mon Mandy, what's wrong? I thought since your sister was a blood whore, you wanted to be one too," one of the guys mocked. I had never seen any of them before, but I felt horrible for the girl, Mandy. I quickly was about to walk in and save her when someone else did. An attractive blonde girl in a short blue mini dress marched over to where the girl was standing, and tried to guide her away from the guys. I soon realized that the blonde girl was Mia. The guys looked at Mia in shock.

"If you could please step aside, that would be wonderful," Mia said sweetly.

The guys just laughed to each other. "Look here, there's another girl who wants to join the blood whore party. Hate to break it to you sweetie, but you are a Moroi," one of the jerks said.

Another one of them stepped toward Mia, "Hey it's not a big deal, I'll still show you a good time." He looked at her with what he probably thought was a seductive look.

"Step away," Mia growled, but he didn't. He moved closer and closer to Mia until his lips were on top of hers. She pushed him back, but he just came closer and closer.

I stepped forward, "She said step away!"

The guy looked at me with interest. "Who are you? Do you speak for blondie? Are you her boy toy?" he mocked. I stared at him with anger and then I shoved him.

He hit the ground and I said, "Don't ever touch Mia, me, or any of my friends, ever!" I punched him in the jaw and he scowled.

"Fine, go back to being blondie's blood whore. I hope you have fun."

I was about to punch him again, but Mia held me back. "He's not worth it. Let's just go." I sighed and we started to walk away when the two other guys came toward me. I punched them and defended myself as long as I could, but I was outnumbered.

"Here's what you get for punching Riley, and ruining our fun," one said as he punched me in the gut. I fell down on the ground and Mia looked at me with concern. They continued to punch me, and then all of a sudden, water came out of people's glasses and splashed onto the guys heads.

"What the heck?" one of them muttered as he wiped the water off of his face. The water gave me just enough time to get up and start fighting again. I grabbed both of their heads and clashed them together. They both collapsed holding their heads.

"We will be going now," I smirked as I escorted the girls out of the crowd. The Mandy girl hugged me and then started sobbing. Mia remained silent.

"Mandy, how about we walk you to your room?" Mia suggested. Mandy leaned onto my shoulder and nodded while crying. I awkwardly patted her head. We walked her up to her room and said our goodbyes to her.

"Thank you so much Eddie, you are like my savior," she said. Mia rolled her eyes.

"If you're going to thank anyone, thank Mia, she was the one who defended you in the first place," I pointed out.

"Thanks Mia," she grumbled quickly. Mia slightly smiled back. "Thank you so much again Eddie," she gushed. She waved flirtatiously and then walked away into her room.

"You're my savior Eddie," Mia imitated Mandy perfectly. I chuckled. Was Mia jealous? I quickly dismissed the thought.

I looked into Mia's eyes and said, "Thank you Mia, for the water thing. You saved me."

She looked shocked. "How did you know that was me?" she asked.

I shrugged, "I just, knew." She smiled at me and I leaned my head toward hers.

I was about to kiss her, when she pulled away. "I'm sorry Eddie, I can't," she said.

"Why not?" I asked, confused. Maybe she didn't like me. Maybe I had been imagining her gazing into my eyes.

She sighed and replied, "Because I have a boyfriend."

Mia's POV

The party was wonderful. I was having fun, I had the perfect dress, and I was forgetting about my problems for a night. I danced while I waited for Eddie and Rose to come. All of a sudden, I heard a scream. These jerks were picking on a Dhampir girl, saying things about her being a blood whore. I instantly felt bad for the girl, and stepped over to help her. I started to move her away from the guys, when they blocked my way.

"If you could please step aside, that would be wonderful," I said to them in what I thought was a fairly polite voice.

One of them called me a blood whore, and the other started hitting on me. I told him to step away, but he wouldn't. Each time he stepped closer to me, my mind screamed out in fear. He wouldn't stop. Then, Eddie stepped forward. I blushed as he defended me. He was so handsome with his tousled hair, dreamy muscles, and gorgeous eyes. Soon, he was throwing punches. He was so strong. He knocked the guy to the floor.

Soon, the guy was knocked out, but the other two guys were approaching him. He managed to last for awhile, but these guys had clearly fought before. They smacked him to the ground and took turns punching him. I knew I had to do something. I saw people around me with glasses of water in their hands. I knew what to do.

I lifted the water from the cups, and splashed water all over their heads. It gave Eddie just enough time to get up and smack their heads together. They fell down, and Eddie led us out of the crowd.

Mandy started sobbing, and I rolled my eyes. She obviously hadn't been in a situation with real danger before. She clung to Eddie like if she let go, the world would explode. I don't know why, but it really annoyed me. She thanked Eddie with almost too much enthusiasm, and quickly thanked me. She said goodbye, and waved flirtatiously at Eddie. I stopped myself from rolling my eyes again. I waved goodbye, but she didn't wave back.

Eddie and I started walking back when he thanked me for the water trick. He gazed into my eyes and I wondered how he knew. I asked him and he said, "I just knew." He leaned closer to me, looking like he was going to kiss me, and I wanted to give in and kiss him with a giant amount of passion, but I knew I couldn't.

I pulled away. "Sorry Eddie, I can't," I said sadly. He looked confused and depressed. "Why?" he asked. I looked deeply into his eyes once more, knowing that this might be the last chance I'd ever get to look in them again.

I sighed and said, "Because I have a boyfriend."

He looked shocked at first, but then quickly pretended not to care. "Oops, big mistake there," he stated as he tried to laugh it off.

"Eddie I am so sorry," I started to say, but he cut me off.

"No it's my fault. If you will excuse me, I have to go," he said, as he ran away as fast as he could. I tried to run after him, but he was too fast. I collapsed on the ground and started crying.

Rose suddenly appeared. "What's wrong Mia?" she asked.

"Just, go find Eddie!" I sobbed. She gave me one look, and then ran off toward Eddie's room. I managed to make myself stand up and walk to my own room. My own room where calls from Tyler would be waiting. I was sick of this. Sick of wanting Eddie when I had Tyler. I couldn't live with myself if I was dating Tyler and thinking of Eddie. But, I couldn't break up with Tyler. He would wither without me. He had told me that many times. I couldn't dump Tyler, I was too afraid of what he would do if I did.

I met Tyler about two weeks before Spokane. He was a nice, Moroi boy that liked to talk about offensive magic. We had that in common. He specialized in Water just like me, and we were both amused at how much we had in common. Little did I know, we had less in common than I thought.

Tyler asked me out a week after Spokane. I told him I wasn't ready for a relationship, and he seemed okay with that at first. But then the next day he came back and showed me scars all over his arms. I gasped and asked him why he would do that. He told me if I wouldn't be with him, there would be more scars, maybe even death. I panicked, so I said yes to his offer. Now, we've been dating for about three weeks, and every moment has been torture. But how could I tell Eddie that? How could I tell him that I had befriended a psycho who threatened to hurt himself if I didn't date him? I couldn't tell Eddie, I couldn't ever tell Eddie.

I got home and sure enough, there was a message on my answering machine from Tyler. "Hey Mia, it's me. I've missed you so much. I'm sorry I couldn't come to the party tonight, but I love you. Call me back, I need to hear your lovely voice, I need to hear you breathing.. I love you and couldn't live without you."

I sighed and punched a pillow. Why couldn't I have a wonderful guy like Eddie? Why did I have to fall for Tyler's stupid trap? It turned out he wasn't into offensive magic and wasn't a water user either. Everything I had with him was based on lies. I plopped down on my bed and started crying. I cried myself to sleep, I cried until I had no tears left to cry.

Rose's POV

I ran out of the party and soon saw Mia sitting on the ground sobbing. She looked like a mess. Mascara ran down her face, and her hair messily dangled by her shoulders. I already suspected that it all had something to do with Eddie.

I leaned down and looked at her. "What's wrong Mia?" I asked.

Her answer came out in choked sobs, "just go find Eddie!" I gave her one last look and then ran to Eddie's room. I prepared myself for an emotional wreck. If Eddie was anything like Mia at the moment, I would need a couple boxes of tissues. I walked in and furniture was all over the floor. The room was torn apart. In the middle of it all I saw Eddie. Sweat ran down his forehead and he was punching the bedpost.

"Eddie, you need to stop," I stated calmly. He scowled at me and continued to punch the bedpost. His knuckles were starting to bleed and I was getting nervous. "EDDIE!" I yelled.

"I DON'T WANT TO STOP!" he screamed back at me. I took a step back in shock, Eddie had never screamed at me before. He realized this, and stopped punching. "Rose, I'm sorry I'm having a bit of a bad night," he explained.

"No kidding!" I said. "Eddie, what happened with you and Mia?"

He scowled. "I was so stupid. I actually thought she liked me. I actually thought that I would get the girl for once," he rambled on, "I mean I'm not unattractive. I really thought we had this connection. I was wrong! I should've noticed. I should've asked, I should've," I cut him off, "Eddie, stop rambling and tell me what's wrong."

A tear slid down his cheek as he replied, "Mia has a boyfriend." My mouth dropped. She had a boyfriend? I couldn't believe it! She had seemed so into Eddie, she hadn't seemed like she had a boyfriend. I needed to have a talk with her. Silent tears glided down his face and I tried to comfort him.

"Don't worry Eddie, one more day and then we will be back at school, boring school. Don't worry, things will get better."

"I hope your right," he murmured as he drifted to sleep.

Well, that concludes chapter 2, thanks for reading it and I would absolutely love if I got some reviews, even if they are bad ones :)
