Eddie POV

I ignored Mia the whole next day even though it hurt not to think of her or see her. I couldn't believe that she had a boyfriend. How could she not tell me? I sighed, thinking about what life would be like with Mia and I as a couple. I could picture us kissing in the rain on a gorgeous beach in Hawaii. I could picture us having a picnic in the park, gazing into each other's eyes. But I had to get these thoughts out of my mind. She didn't like me like I liked her.

Rose tried to comfort me. "Eddie, I'm sure she also has feelings for you," she said as she tried to make me feel better. I just stared at Rose showing her the hurt in my eyes and eventually, she left me alone.

I decided I needed something to get my mind off of Mia. I approached Rose. "I need you to take me to a party," I stated. Instantly, she went to pick out my outfit. I smiled. A party was exactly what I needed.

This party was different than the one the night before. There were still many Moroi and Dhampirs, but you could tell that this party was more exclusive. There were strobe lights and a crazy DJ. It was the perfect party.

"How did we get into this party? It seems pretty exclusive," I remarked at Rose.

She grinned. "I have connections," she replied as she started looking around. All of a sudden guys started coming toward Rose and she laughed. "Don't worry guys, there's plenty of me to go around." She looked at me and said, "Try to have fun Eddie!" With that, she was swept into the crowd of guys.

I walked around looking for something to distract me. As long as Mia wasn't here, I was pretty sure I'd be okay. I glanced around the room and didn't see Mia. I did however see Mandy, the girl from the night before. She approached me and gave me a seductive look. "Hey, want to dance?" I nodded and we moved to the dance floor. She had asked me to dance, but what we were doing, I wouldn't really call "dancing" It was more like her moving as close to me as possible.

She moved closer and closer until our lips met. The kiss was good, but there were no sparks or anything. Mandy looked satisfied though. I decided if I was going to be completely distracted, I would need a girlfriend. Mandy worked. In her ear I whispered, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

She gazed at me and replied, "Of course I would, you are like my savior!" She batted her long eyelashes at me and put her hand in mine. She nudged me, "Hey isn't that your friend?" I followed her gaze. It was Mia! She was wearing a light pink dress that covered up a lot, yet she still looked gorgeous and almost every male eye in the room were on her, well all the eyes that were not gazing at Rose, that is. Her date however, didn't look like he put very much work into his look. He was one of the tallest guys that I had ever seen and he had a possessive hand placed on Mia's back. He glared at all of the guys as if to say, "She's mine!" Mia looked uncomfortable with his hands on her and she awkwardly shifted away from him. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She saw me and we both stared at each other for a moment.

Mandy turned my head so that I was staring at her. "So what do you think of my dress?" she asked flirtatiously.

I looked at her dress. She actually looked kind of trashy. Her hair was a wild mess, she was wearing too much makeup, and her dress wasn't long enough to be called a dress in my opinion. But, I lied and said, "You are the most beautiful girl here." She smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist. I tried to only look at her, but every once in a while, I would look over at Mia. Mandy sensed that I was looking around and guessed that I didn't want to dance anymore.

She grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go mingle!" I followed her into the crowd. She stopped at Mia and her date. Of course, she took me to the only people I didn't want to see. "Hi Mya! So nice to see you again," Mandy exclaimed.

"Actually, it's Mia and same here!" Mia replied politely, even though you could tell that she wasn't very pleased to see Mandy.

"So, guess what? Eddie and I are a couple now!" Mandy squealed as she pecked me on the cheek.

Mia frowned. "When did this happen?" she asked, looking directly at me. I avoided her eyes.

"Just a few minutes ago actually. We are both so excited!" stated Mandy.

"Well how wonderful! Eddie, Mandy this is my boyfriend Tyler," Mia said. Tyler glared at me and put his arm around Mia's shoulder. Maybe he thought I was a threat. I smiled to myself at the thought. Mia plastered a fake smile on her face and said, "Well it was so nice seeing you guys again! Maybe we will see you both soon." As she was talking she gave us both hugs, but when she was giving me a hug, she slipped a note into the pocket of my pants. No one noticed but me. Mandy soon dragged me away.

"It seemed like you were looking at Mia more than me," Mandy complained.

"I only have eyes for you, sweetie," I replied in what I thought was a romantic enough voice.

She beamed, "Yeah, you are right. Why would you go for a poor, cheap, bimbo like Mia anyway?" The words that came out of Mandy's mouth made me angrier and angrier.

Finally, I replied, "Because she is more gorgeous, nice, and considerate than you will ever be."

I walked off with Mandy shouting, "So we are over? Please don't tell me that we are over!"

"Yeah Mandy, I would say that we are over," I yelled back at her as I walked out of the building. Rose heard the outburst and followed me out of the building.

"Eddie, let me take you back to your room," she stated. She led me to my room and said, "Was it just me or did that relationship last less than ten minutes?" she asked. We both started laughing then Rose asked me, "Were you dating Mandy to make Mia jealous?"

I sighed. "Guilty," I replied.

"Eddie! I know Mandy is a brat, but you can't treat girls like that," Rose complained.

"I know and I'm sorry. I just miss Mia, I don't like that Tyler that she's dating, he seems too overprotective," I told her.

"Well don't worry, we will be leaving tomorrow and then you don't have to see Mia for a long time. I'm going to go back to the party but try to get some rest," said Rose. She leaned over and gave me a hug and then walked away.

I realized that I hadn't looked at Mia's note. I quickly dug into my pocket and retrieved it. When I read it, I wasn't sure what to do.

Eddie, We really need to talk. Meet me at outside, by the fountain at 10:00 tonight. –Mia.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to meet her there. I looked up at the clock. It was 9:30. I had a half hour to kill, so I paced. I always paced when I was nervous, it calmed me down. Eventually, it was almost 10, so I headed to the fountain that Mia was talking about. It was the only fountain in the royal court that was outside. It was made out of marble, and looked extremely old. It was beautiful though. There were intricate details all over and water cascaded down into it.

I stood there at 10, waiting for Mia. The time ticked by, I waited until 10:30 and there was still no Mia. "She stood me up," I muttered to myself. "Why am I not surprised?" I walked back to my room and collapsed onto the bed. I was sick of Mia Rinaldi and it would be fine if I never saw her again.

I woke up in the morning ready to board the plane back to St. Vlad's. I was so happy to be going back, I was so happy that I never had to see Mia again. I got all my luggage together, found Rose and Lissa, and we all boarded the plane together. We sat in the plane for about 15 minutes. What was the holdup? All of us were already on the plane. I walked over to a flight attendant and asked, "Excuse me, what is the holdup? Everyone who's going back is on board."

She turned to me then and replied, "Actually not everyone is. We have one more person who decided that they wanted to come with us." I went back to my seat wondering who the other person was. Was it Mandy? I couldn't survive a plane ride with her obnoxious voice. Was it another guardian? Who was it? Just then, the person I least expected boarded the plane.

"Sorry I'm late, I had a few things to do before I left." My mouth dropped. It was Mia and she smiled as she sat in the seat right next to me.

Mia's POV

I got ready, expecting the party to be a completely normal one. It was more exclusive, so hopefully Eddie and Rose wouldn't be there. I styled my hair into giant, fabulous waves and just as I was putting lipstick on, two hands covered my face. "Guess who?" the person asked. I turned around and there was Tyler. I froze.

"Tyler, I thought you had plans tonight, " I stated, probably sounding as surprised as I felt.

"I cancelled them! I haven't been spending enough time with you," he said as he tried to kiss me. I pulled away.

"Oh, well okay," I replied in a monotone. I grabbed my lipstick and started applying it again.

Tyler was shaking his head, "Why don't you seem very excited to see me?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

I grabbed my short, teal party dress from my closet and replied, "I am, I'm just surprised."

He took a look at the dress that I planned on wearing and said, "You can't wear that dress. It's too short. I don't want any guy seeing that much skin besides me. What did you wear last night?"

I sighed and pulled out my blue minidress that I had worn the night before. He slapped me across the face. I stepped back, shocked. "I thought I could trust you with your clothing choices, but apparently I can't," he said sternly.

"Ty, it's just a dress, no big deal," I complained. He snatched the dress out of my hands and immediately went digging through my closet. He eventually came out with a pink dress that was longer than my knees and showed no cleavage at all.

"Wear this, and pin your hair up. Take that red lipstick off and replace it with a more subtly color. I want my girl to appear unavailable." I did as he told me. I was scared, I couldn't believe he had slapped me. I needed to get out of this mess. When Tyler wasn't looking, I wrote a note to Eddie. Maybe he could help me work things out with Tyler. I placed it in my handbag and let Tyler lead me to the party.

When we entered the party, Eddie was dancing with Mandy. She had the shortest dress that I had ever seen on, and she was snaking her arms around him and pressing her chest to him. Some people would call this dancing, I did not. Tyler and I walked over to the dance floor and started dancing. He was one of the worst dancers that I had ever danced with. He danced with his arms protectively wrapped around me. I hated this, I wasn't his property. I was my own person. I backed away from the dance floor, claiming that I needed a break.

Tyler followed me and I soon heard a voice, "Hi Mya! Nice to see you again!" It was Mandy and by the way she looked at me, she didn't really think it was nice to see me again. Her hand was holding on to Eddie's and as he continued to stare at me, she looked like she pinched it to get his attention.

"It's actually Mia and same here!" I gushed. I just wanted to get away from Mandy and Eddie. Eddie looked gorgeous and the thought that he was holding hands with Mandy made me sick inside. It made me feel even more sick when Mandy announced that they were a couple. I stared into Eddie's eyes as if to ask if it was true. He shifted his eyes away from me. I told them that it was nice to see them and went to give them hugs. But what Tyler and Mandy didn't know was that when I gave Eddie a hug, I slipped a note into his pocket.

As they walked off, Tyler grabbed my arm harshly. "I saw the note!" he yelled as he dragged me outside.

"Stop Tyler you're hurting me," I yelped.

"Good, maybe that will force some sense into you. You are with me and only me. Your charade with this Eddie guy is now over. You will not tell him anything," Tyler said through gritted teeth.

"Tyler, I want to breakup," I said to him.

"No you don't, if you do that it will break my heart and I'll kill myself," he mocked. "Did you really think I would kill myself? I'm too important for that," he smirked.

I tried to run away but he held tight on my arm. "Sorry Mia, but you are going to do exactly what I tell you. First, you are going to go back to your room like a good little girlfriend. Don't meet up with anyone. I will know if you do. Next, you are going to have a lunch date with me tomorrow at 12:30 exactly."

"And what if I don't?" I spat.

"If you don't, your friends will be hurt by your decision. Starting with that dark haired brunette, Rose I think her name was. She seems like a blood whore in the making," he replied with a sinister grin on his face.

"Don't you dare hurt any of my friends," I said to him.

"I won't, as long as you play by my rules," he replied as he walked me to my room, still grinning that terrible grin. I knew what I had to do. I had to leave and get away from Tyler. I got permission to go back to St. Vlad's and I packed my stuff as quickly as possible. Thankfully, the flight was at 11, so I could leave before my lunch date with Tyler. I went to sleep dreaming of Tyler biting Rose.

The next morning, I woke up at 10:55. I was late. I rushed to call the airport and ask if they could wait a few minutes for me, I would be right there. I grabbed my stuff and ran as fast as I could out the door. But not fast enough apparently because I ran into Tyler on my way out. "Where are you off to?" he asked me. He grabbed my hand and I knew that I had been caught. He slapped my face as hard as he could. "You are not going anywhere," he stated. I saw a water fountain next to us and quickly, using my water ability splashed water all of his face. Like I guessed he would, he let go of my hand to wipe his face off. I took off running.

When I finally reached the plane, I was out of breath. I boarded it and took a seat by Eddie. A gave him a smile, but he didn't return it. Why was he ignoring me? It was then that I realized he thought I had stood him up.

"Eddie, please let me explain, I would've come if I could've," I explained as the plane took off.

"It's not like anyone was forcing you to not come," he spat. He looked me in the eyes and then realized that the statement he had just said was completely false. "He forced you to stay in your room?" he asked, astonished.

"Yes, and I'll explain the rest when we get to , but right now, I need to rest," I said as I leaned my head into his strong shoulder and closed my eyes.
