Hey guys. Thanks for the reviews. I have over 100 hits, so I decided to write. I still wish I had gotten ten reviews. All well though. At this moment, I have 6. Some of the comments were funny. I am happy you guys like my style of writing. Thanks for reviewing and I hope that you continue to review.

I own nothing. Stephanie owns it all. I only wish I could be that famous…

Chapter 3

Hesperia, CA

Vivian P.O.V.

I woke up the next day to the sound of my alarm clock's music blaring next to my head. I grumbled to myself and turned off the sound that wouldn't leave me alone. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. My body automatically stretched and yawned. I got a pair of black skinny jeans and a blue tee shirt whose sleeves went off the shoulders. I loved this shirt. I grabbed a pair of socks and my Vans and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

As I got out of the shower, I suddenly remembered what was going to happen today. I sighed. I got dressed slowly then walked out of the bathroom. I walked into the kitchen and made my mom her coffee. I couldn't drink coffee. It made me very grumpy. Not to mention I just didn't like the taste of it. I ate a bowl of fruity pebbles while I waited for the coffee to be done. I just finished drinking the milk when I heard the little beep that was my mom's alarm clock. I got up and made her a cup of coffee and brought it to her. I nudged her gently and whispered for her to wake up.

"You have to wake up mom. I need to go to school." I said. "Your coffee is here."

She grumbled and yawned. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. I put my shoulder length brown hair into a half pony and applied my eyeliner. Eyeliner was the only make-up I needed, since my complexion was such that I only got pimples when I was stressed. I neither needed concealer nor liked it. I looked at my reflection, my incredibly dark brown eyes watching me in the mirror. They were darker then anyone else's I knew. Almost black. I walked out of the room and got my bag together. Today would be difficult.

I went back to my mom's room and she was just getting her purse ready. I grabbed my fluffy white jacket and walked out the door. My mom was just behind me. I looked down at the ground waiting for her to unlock my door. She did and I sat in my seat. She started up the car and we were on our way.

"I'll be picking you up today, since I don't have to work." She said.

"Alright." I murmured. I still did not like the idea of telling my friends.

"We're here. Have a good day. I'll see you after school. I love you." She said.

"Love you too." I said, grabbing my bag and hopping out of the car. I walked to my usual spot in the school and sat on the wall-type thingy. It was a knee-high wall that enclosed the bushes. I waited for my friends to arrive, and for the cafeteria doors to open. As I waited I thought about how much I would miss this. It wasn't the best life I person could wish for. I wasn't rich in the least, and I've had my share of heartbreaks. But I was happy with my friends and family. Nothing could compare to the love friends brought. I loved my friends more then anything in the world, and I would never wish to give them up.

But, then again, who wouldn't want to live in a castle. It is every little girl's dream. But I wasn't a little girl anymore. I was seventeen years old. I had to be happy for my mom, though. She deserved this job. It is everything she had ever wanted. I was happy for her. I would just miss my friends. Moving from California to Italy would be a big change for me. But I was happy.

I was startled out of my thoughts by my wifey Jamie hugging me. I hugged her back.

"You'll never guess what I heard last night." I told her.

"What?" She asked me.

"I have to move." I said, looking at the floor.

"Where?" She asked.

"Italy…?" I said, phrasing the answer as a question.

"Why?" She asked.

"My mom got a job as a secretary. At Castle Volterra." I said.

"Whoa. Do you get to live in the castle?" She asked me.

"Yeah. I am happy that I get to live in a castle and everything, but I'm gonna miss everyone. You know? It's gonna be difficult to not talk to you guys all the time." I said.

"I know, Vivian. But you will be able to talk to us on the computer and such. And call us, every once in a great while." She said. I laughed.

"Yeah. I don't want you to get in trouble for long distance calling." I said. We both laughed. Jueli walked over to us and smiled.

"Having fun?" She asked us. I sobered at the sight of her. I would miss these two and Emily more then anything. I hugged her and told her about my moving.

"I don't want you to move. I'll miss you too much." She said. I smiled.

"I REALLY don't want to, either, but it is my mom's job. She is going to get a LOT more money, and I am going to get a private tutor." I said. They knew how much my education meant to me. I wanted to be a teacher, and I knew I would never have enough money to pay tuition at any college. And I wouldn't exactly get a scholarship if I didn't have great grades. They nodded.

"I just wish that it wasn't so far away." Jamie said. I nodded and hugged them. The bell rang then and Jueli and I walked over to our first class. We didn't share the same class, but it was in the same area of campus. Emily was in my first period though. She was the one I was really dreading.

~lunch.~

"This day is going too fast for my liking." I told Jamie. It was, and I didn't like it. This was the last day for me to see any of them.

"I know. I'm going to miss you." She said.

We walked to the lunch line talking about inside jokes that no one besides us understood. We walked to our tree. Alonna, Emily, Nicole, Anthony, Paul, and Alex were all there already in their usual spots. Emily was sitting under the tree, Alonna was cuddling with Alex, Nicole was standing with her group over by the building, and everyone else was scattered around. I smiled at them, already missing this normalcy. I sat down next to Emily. There was one person missing, but I wouldn't think about him. It depressed me. He moved schools at the end of the previous year, and we ended things between us because of lack of contact. I sighed.

"What's with the depressing sigh?" Emily asked me.

"Just thoughts about Justin. I shouldn't have broken up with him. I still miss him." I said.

Emily rolled her eyes. "He stopped talking to you. He is the one at fault." I nodded.

"Doesn't mean I don't miss him." I said.

"Isn't it better that you did, I mean, since you are moving and all? Do you even talk to him anymore?" She asked me. I shook my head. "Then don't get upset over something you can't change." She said. "There are probably going to be a lot of gorgeous guys in Italy anyways. Even in that castle. I'm kind of jealous." She said.

"Yeah," Jamie replied. "When you think about it, the Volturi lived in Italy in Twilight. Maybe you'll find an Edward for yourself." I laughed.

"Or an Alec. He seems to be the hottest guy in the volturi. I mean, on the team Volturi Tee shirts, he is the only one who doesn't look constipated." We all laughed at that.

"So when do you move?" Alonna asked me.

"After school. My mom is picking me up from school." I looked down at the grass. I concentrated on picking the blades apart piece by piece. They all went to their own conversations. It continued like this until the bell rang. I got up with Emily's help and we walked with our arms linked like always. We were quiet on the way to class.

~After school. ~

My mom was waiting in the field across the street from the school when I walked out. I crossed the street to her car and hopped in.

"I picked you up something for the plane ride." She said. I looked in the back seat and squealed. It was all my favorite vampire book series'. Vampire academy, The Immortals, Blue Bloods, Morganville Vampires, House of Night, and many more. I hugged my mom tightly and she laughed. "I'm guessing you liked it?" She asked. I nodded vigorously. "I have another surprise for you. We have about an hour before we have to actually leave for the airport, so I am bringing you to see Justin before we leave. I gaped at her.

"Um… I don't know what to say. I want to see him… but I don't know what to do..." I hadn't seen Justin since before we broke up. We were incredibly happy that day… Then he stopped talking to me, and it wasn't until after I broke up with him did I know that he had gotten his phone taken away. 'Still could have talked to me. Told me what was going on.' I grumbled to myself. By the time I was done grumbling, we were at his house, and my mom was parked in his driveway. I slowly walked up to his front door and knocked on his door, praying to myself that he wasn't there. I didn't really have a religion. I wasn't atheist; more like knowing there is something there, but don't want to put a name to it. Names make things more real. And I didn't want anything controlling my life but me. The door opened and just my luck, Justin stood in the doorway in all his glory.

I realized in that moment that I missed him more then ever, and I couldn't speak. He looked shocked to see me. I smiled at him.

"H-Hi." I said.

"Hey. What are you doing here?" he asked.

"My mom had me come for a visit. I've got about an hour before I leave for the airport. Is anyone else here?" I asked him.

"Um, no. They are all at the movies. Watching Tron." I smiled at him. "Come in." She said. I walked into his house and he led me to the living room. I nervously sat down.

"So…" I said. I looked at him. I honestly did miss him, but I wouldn't let him know that.

"You said the airport?" He asked me.

"Yea, I am moving to Italy. My mom thought I would like to see you before we moved." I said.

"Oh, well, I'm kind of glad you did stop by. I've missed you." I stared at him. He wasn't one to say things like this.

"You've missed me?" I asked.

"Like crazy. I know it was my fault that you broke up with me. I never told you that my phone was getting taken away, and my facebook was messing up. I had to make a new one. Why Italy?" He asked me.

"My mom got a new job there. I'm going to miss everyone so badly." I said. He was sitting next to me, and I was incredibly aware of the last day we saw each other. Making out in a bounce house is incredibly fun. But it was the last day that we saw each other. I looked at him.

"I'll miss you too." He said. I was surprised at his words. He kissed me, without any warning. He pulled back a second later. It was just a brush to the lips, but it left me stunned. He grinned at me, and I closed my eyes. My mom honked the horn outside and I nodded to myself.

"I'd better go. I'll miss you. Bye." I said. He kissed me again before I opened the door, and I ran out to the car.

"Have fun?" Mom asked. I nodded. "Well, we had better get going. Don't want to miss the flight." She said. I nodded again, and we pulled out of his driveway.

Just a little more about Vivian's life. This story is coming surprisingly easy for me. I just hope I get more reviews for this chapter then I did for the last one. Anyways… Did you like this episode? I am going to skip the plane ride, because that would just be a bunch of boring-ness. I would not be able to live through it. Nothing interesting would happen anyways. Review, PLEASE. Let me know if you are enjoying this story as much as I am at this time. I can't wait till 'mom' and Vivian get to the castle. I may do a lot of description on the castle, but yet again, I may not. Should I do a chapter in Alec's Point of View again? Or shall the rest of the story be in Vivian's Point of View? Anyways, review and tell me what you thought.

push that button down there, please and write what you thought.
