Hey! Sorry it took so long for me to post, I was on Vacation and thanks for waiting for this chapter. I already apologize for grammar mistakes, I wanted to write a chapter as soon as possible, so I didn't proofread as carefully as I probably should've. Thanks again for reading this, I love your reviews and I would especially like to thank Kate2008 for her great reviews.

Mia's POV

I woke up to see an incredibly stunning guy looking down at me.

"Hey gorgeous," I mumbled at him.

"Hey to you also Mia," he laughed.

I sat up straight and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment. The guy was Eddie. He smirked as he saw my astonished face. Where was I? It was then that everything came back to me, the fight with Tyler, running onto the plane, falling asleep in Eddie's arms.

Eddie looked at me worried. "Mia, what happened with Tyler?" he questioned.

I sighed as the plane shook and the pilot announced, "Okay everyone, we will be arriving at our destination in about ten minutes. Gather your belongings and get ready to leave."

It was then that Rose and Lissa spotted me. Lissa glared, apparently she wasn't over our old battles but I was. I decided to be the bigger person and I waved. Lissa looked like she was thinking about waving back but then quickly turned her head away from me.

Rose looked at me, silently apologizing for Lissa's behavior. She made a gesture for me to come sit in the empty seat next to her and I started to move over there when Eddie stopped me.

"Mia, you need to tell me what happened, I'm worried about you," Eddie looked at me and I could tell that he was actually concerned about me.

"Eddie, I do want to tell you. I want to tell you really bad, but this story is going to take longer than ten minutes and I want to tell you the whole thing. Can you wait just a bit longer?" I asked.

He stared at me for a few seconds and then gave in. "Fine, but I expect a full explanation when we land."

"And you will get one," I assured him.

I walked over by Rose and sat in the empty seat. Lissa, who was sitting on the other side of Rose, continued to ignore me.

"Lissa, I want to apologize. I was extremely bitchy to you and Rose in the past and I feel terrible for it. I guess I can understand if you still want to ignore me, but I really have changed," I said to Lissa.

She turned to Rose, whispered something and then turned her head away from me again.
Rose's glared at Lissa and said coolly, "If you don't have anything nice to say about my FRIEND, then just go away."

Lissa glared at me, stood up and took a seat in the row behind us,

"Sorry, she can be rather immature at times," Rose apologized.

"That's okay. I used to be really mean to you guys and she can be mad if she wants to," I replied.

Rose shrugged and quickly asked me, "So I'm kind of curious. What's the deal with Eddie and you? And also, I don't think I like Tyler very much."

I laughed and replied, "I don't like him much either, i'm kinda running away from him." I was about to start explaining when I saw that Lissa was listening in on our conversation. "I'll explain later," I promised.

Rose agreed that now wasn't the best time to talk about it and Lissa stopped eavesdropping.

I walked over to my seat to collect my stuff and saw Lissa moving back to her seat while texting someone. Why did that girl hate me so much? Was I that bad in the past? And even if I was, I had apologized. She saw me staring at me and she quickly hid her phone.

I frowned at her lack of trust in me and put all of my stuff together. I was still standing, packing up the last of my stuff when the plane started to descend. It shook and I fell down onto Eddie's lap.

"I'm sorry!" I quickly apologized to him as he chuckled.

"Mia, its fine, don't worry." He smiled at me. I looked at him, surprised. If it would've been Tyler that I had fallen on, he would've barked at me. But this was Eddie, funny, kind, handsome Eddie and he just laughed.

He kept laughing and I started laughing also. Rose looked over at us and burst out laughing. Soon, all of the guys on the plane were laughing because Rose was laughing. It seemed like everyone was laughing but Lissa.

I stopped laughing for a moment and asked Eddie, "Do you know why Lissa hates me so much?"

"I think she thinks you are trying to replace her as Rose's best friend," he stated studying her like a scientist.

I laughed. "That's ridiculous. Everyone knows she and Rose have a strong friendship, why should she be so worried about me?"

Eddie looked at me in astonishment. "You really don't know what effect you have on people, do you?" he asked.

I stared at him, confused. "Me? I'm probably the least social person on this whole plane."

"No, that's not true. The guys all look at you with desire, and all of the girls want to be you." He replied.

"It's true, a few months ago you looked like a young, mean porcelain doll, you were immature and extremely catty. You've had to go through a lot and you have really grown up," Rose observed as she slid into the other seat by Eddie. "And Eddie, as for your theory about Lissa being jealous, I agree with Mia. Why would Lissa be jealous? She knows she's my best friend."

Eddie just looked at both of us. "You both are clueless," he stated. He started to say something else but Rose already pinned him to the ground.

"Looks like you are the clueless one," she teased.

"Let me go, this is embarrassing," Eddie whined.

"What do you think Mia? Should I let him go?" Rose asked playfully.

"Make him take back the clueless comment first," I replied, giggling. The rest of the plane looked as us with confusion.

"Eddie, it looks like we have an audience, you better take the statement back before any more people see this," Rose commented.

"Alright, alright I take it back," Eddie scowled as Rose released him and gave me a high five. The rest of the plane laughed to themselves and then went back to their own business.

Rose and I started laughing when the plane reached the ground. "We have now reached your destination. Thank you for flying." The pilot said as his voice echoed through the plane.

I got off, and started to walk to the headmistress's office at St. Vlad's when Eddie and Rose both each grabbed one of my elbows and dragged me to Rose's room.

"Okay, spill, what's the deal with this Tyler clown?" Rose asked.

I started by telling them how I met him and how he had deceived me. I told them everything and when I got to the part about him hurting me, Eddie growled slightly. When I had finished the story, they both had clenched fists.

"What a jerk! I knew something was off with him." Rose exclaimed.

Eddie remained silent and I took it as him not wanting anything to do with me. I immediately understood and grabbed my stuff to go when he said, "Stop please. I want to be friends with you Mia, I'm just thinking."

"About?" I questioned.

"If Tyler knows where you are or not," he replied. I looked at him in horror.

"Do you think he knows where I am?" I asked.

Eddie shrugged. "You didn't tell him where you were going, and you could've ran away anywhere, so unless someone told him where you were going, your safe for awhile. Did you tell anyone else what happened?"

"No one except I think I saw Lissa listening to our small conversation about it on the plane," I told Rose.

"Lissa's harmless, she wouldn't tell anyone, she really has no one to tell," Rose replied.

I sighed in relief and so did Eddie. I looked at him and he looked as gorgeous as ever, but his forest green eyes had a huge amount of worry in them. I didn't want to be the cause of that worry.

"Eddie…" I started to say when Rose cut me off.

"Well, I have to go unpack, so I'll just leave you two alone." she gave me a knowing smile as she slipped away.

"You were saying?" Eddie asked.

"I was about to say that I think you should leave now and never talk to me again. I'm causing you so much worry, so much worry that you don't deserve and I feel terrible about it. I can't stand putting you through so much stress." I told him.

His green eyes stared into my blue ones. "Mia, I could never leave you. It's not you causing the worry, it's Tyler. He was such a jerk to you and I can't believe anyone would do that. I promise that I will never let him hurt you again," he replied.

"Thank you, thank you so much," I stated as tears started to run down my face. As I cried, he wrapped his arms around me into a big hug. I leaned into his shoulder and cried.

When I had finished crying I said to him, "I'm sorry, all of these emotions were building up inside of me and I had to cry."

He stroked the hair out of my face and replied, "You don't have to apologize for crying."

His face moved closer to mine and his lips passionately kissed mine. The kiss felt gentle and sweet but hard. His lips tasted like chocolate and were smooth, but a bit chapped. The kiss was the best kiss that I had ever had. I leaned back and looked at him in amazement. He looked back at me with the same exact expression of amazement as me.

"Wow," I stated. My cheeks turned pink. Had I really just said that?

"You were completely honest with me about the Tyler thing, now it's my turn to be honest with you. I have to tell you something." Eddie said as he looked me in the eye.

I curiously looked back at him. "What is it?" I asked.

"I think I'm falling in love with you," he replied.

By the time I got to the headmistress's office, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Eddie was the most wonderful guy that I had ever met. After he had admitted that he thought he was falling in love with me, I told him that I thought I was falling in love with him also. We talked for hours and there was a lot more kissing involved.

I entered Headmistress Kirova's office and convinced her to let me come back to St. Vlads. She told me that I had a lot of things to make up; but that she was sure I would be able to catch up.

I couldn't believe I was back at St. Vlad's. I never had realized how much I loved this place. I walked to my room and fell asleep thinking about my wonderful school, my wonderful friends, and the wonderful Eddie Castile.

I woke up with a smile on my face. I was here, away from Tyler and close to Eddie. I happily got ready for classes and headed to my first class, magic studies.

I took a seat close to Lissa and smiled at her. She frowned back at me. I shrugged. I was sick of Lissa's attitude.

"Mia hey! How's it going?" Lissa's boyfriend Christian exclaimed as he walked into the room and took the seat between Lissa and I. Lissa glared at Christian but he didn't seem to notice.

"Hey Christian, I'm great and glad to be back. How have you been since… Spokane?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "I get nightmares from time to time but I'm working on getting over it."

"I don't know what would've happened to us if it weren't for you and Rose," I admitted.

He was about to say something when Lissa coughed loudly. "You okay Lissa? Are you coming down with something?" he asked her.

Glad to have the attention back on her, Lissa made up some kind of sickness she was having and started talking to Christian about it. He gave me an apologetic look and then turned back to Lissa. Thankfully, we didn't have to hear about her "sickness" very long because Mrs. Carmack entered the room.

"Okay, we have a full schedule ahead of us today but before we start I'd like to introduce two new students. One is Miss Mia Rinaldi who decided to come back to St Vladimir's and the other is a completely new student who goes by the name of Tyler Szelsky.

My mouth dropped as Tyler walked into the room and smirked at me. He sat in the vacant seat next to me and leaned towards me.

"Didn't think you would get rid of me that easily, did you?"
