Mina eventually let Teague in.

"Teague... what's going to happen after the vacation? With the curse?" Mina wondered.

Teague sighed. "Well you'll still have to defeat the tales. I can just lighten up on them. And make sure you don't get hurt."

Mina's heart filled with warmth. She hugged him and he wrapped his arms arms around her. "Thank you, Teague."

"Anytime, Mina."

Suddenly the two heard a knock on the door.

"Jared..." Mina whimpered in fear.

"Don't worry. He won't hurt you while I'm here." Teague stood in front of her, protectively when the door opened.

"I have returned! And with me I bring gifts of deliciousness!" V yelled with great excitement and triumphantly held up a bag of Chinese food.

Teague laughed and pulled Mina up and into the kitchen. V set out the dishes and food on the counter.

"Hey, I thought you were gonna get potstickers?" Teague asked, searching the take-out boxes for them.

"Oh. I did." V answered while getting some Chow Mein.

"Aaaaand?" Mina tried to finish her sentence.

"Ha. In the car...I...kind of ate them." V giggled.

"Really?" Teague scolded.

"I have no regrets."

Teague and Mina Sat at the table, eating and talking (Mina at the same time). V went to Jared's room and knocked on the door.

"Jared? Dinner's here!" V happily exclaimed.

"I'm not hungry." Jared answered monotonously.

"Okay..." V replied before heading back towards the table. "I take it the break up didn't go to well?" V said bluntly.

Teague was silent and Mina looked down.

There was one of those awful awkward silences.

"Jared's a b!tch." Teague broke the silence.

"Teague!" Mina punched him on the shoulder.

"Geez. What'd he do?" V asked.

Teague leaned closer to her ear and whispered.

When he pulled away V stormed over and pounded on the door. "JARED, LET ME IN." She demanded.

When he didn't answer, she let fourth a burst of Fae magic take down the door.

"Mina...you probably shouldn't listen to this." Teague suggested. With a wave of his hand, he cast a spell over them that prevented any penetration of harmful words towards Mina.

Jared lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling.

"What do you want?" He asked, clearly not interested in what she had to say.

"I can't believe you'd say something like that! You know how much that hurts Mina. If you really loved her, you'd never have used Charlie's death against her!" V screamed at him, however, it didn't seem to effect him.

"You think I didn't love her? Can you look me in the eye and tell me, I didn't love her?" Jared sat up, waiting for a response.

"You're hurt, I get it. I am too. But that's no reason to be such a jerk!" V defended.

Jared laughed, a short hollow laugh. "I made one mistake. Teague's done so much worse to her, but she loves him. The bad guy isn't supposed to get the girl."

V rested a hand on his lap. "Listen to me, Jared. Teague isn't such a bad guy. He's a lot more like you than you think."

Jared's eyes filled with burning rage. "Don't you ever compare me to Teague again!" He demanded.

"I will do as I please." V lifted her chin, defiantly.

"Don't push me, V." Jared warned.

"Fine. You want to live your life, shutting everyone out? FINE BY ME. But you stay away from Mina. She doesn't deserve this. And you know it!" V Shouted.

"It's Mina's fault I feel like this!" Jared ran his hands through his shaggy hair in frustration.

V let a cruel laugh escape. "And you wonder why she Doesn't love you! Teague is the only one who's been there for her! And what have you done? You torment her with tragedy!"

"I don't care! She belongs with me!" Jared retorted.

"If you loved her, you'd let her go!" V yelled.

Jared was silent for a moment. "She loves me."

"Yeah? Then why isn't she here at your side right now? Why is she, instead, at the table with Teague, smiling?" V gestured towards the door.

"Teague took her away!" Jared yelled, uneasy.

"You. Drove. Her. Away." V said with great confidence.

"No! Shut up! Get out!" Jared waved his hands and sent V flying into the dresser, badly bruising her legs and stomach. Teague and Mina couldn't hear due to the spell so she lay there motionless for a few moments until finding the strength to get up.

She brushed stray bits of rubble off her blue babydoll shirt. "You think you're so much better than Teague...but you're not, you never were, and you never will be." V stormed out back to the table and Jared was left alone, on the ground, allowing pain to wash over him like a tidal wave.
