Charlotte woke up rather early the next morning.

Surprisingly, the boys were downstairs already making coffee and breakfast. She had suspected that they would not get out of their pits until midday at the least due to the amount of alcohol they had had the previous night.

She yawned and stretched in her bed- her virtually naked body stretching muscles and getting ready to move. The she sighed and sat for a second, remembering about Damon's request. As much as she hated to admit it, Damon was right- she did have nothing to do that day. Damn, why did he have to be right all the time?! It aggravated her so much.

Charlotte slowly got out of the warmth of her bed, and walked over to her large closet. There was a long jumper there- and she put it on, with it coming down to around mid-thigh. The boys didn't mind her walking around like that- although she did find rather amusing sexual thoughts about herself in the guys minds. Especially Kian, who had a girlfriend who just wasn't putting out. She couldn't really blame him for having those thoughts about her, she did have gorgeous legs- and of course her body looked beautiful even in a long jumper.

She strolled downstairs and walked past Kian to make some coffee. Even though she was a vampire, coffee still woke her up in the morning, and- well, it tasted good and she had been practically brought up on coffee.

"Hey boys," she said to Kian and Lee, who were yawning beside the kitchen table.

They grunted in response, and then both looked her up and down- Lee in adoration and Kian in part-lust.

She smiled at little, then walked past them to turn on the coffee machine.

"Kian, put your eyes back in your head," she sighed. Kian blushed a little and Lee glared at him.

Two minutes later, and Lee was groaning his way through a fried breakfast- with Charlotte glaring at him over the rim of her coffee mug. I mean, man up- she thought.

The doorbell rang, and none of the boys moved, so Charlotte was forced to answer it. She could sense three qualities: Vampire. Stupidness. And overall a complete washing basket.

It could only be Stefan.

Woohoo, she was right.

The wimp stared at her for a second before his face turned awkward and embarrassed.

"You could put more clothes on in the morning," he murmured.

"It covers the basics," she replied coldly.

"You live with three boys," he said angrily.

"They don't mind. What do you want?"

He glared.

"I was wondering if you could meet us at midday at the boarding house," he said, suddenly serious.

"Damon already invited me."

"When?" He seemed confused.

She sighed angrily- bored and annoyed that her brother was so slow.

"Ask Damon, Pixie-Pants."

"Why are you so much like Damon? This isn't how father raised us," he said furiously, looking strangely hurt.

She glared at him, and he stepped back in what looked like fear.

"Go ask Damon. Just because I'm a girl, it doesn't mean I won't kill you, Stefan."

His expression changed to sadness.

"We used to be so close, Charlotte. You and me."

She sighed.

"Times were different back then, Stefan. Until Katherine came we were all fine- then you turned into an asshole," she said coldly.

The sad look continued. Charlotte began to think that he looked like a little lost puppy standing on her doorstep.

"So can you come?" he asked.

She just glared at him.

"At least think about it. Please."

Then he turned his back on her and walked down the path.

What is it with the Salvatore family? We were turning into the Dramatic Italian's of Fell's Church- Charlotte thought.

She slammed the door shut, and turned around- only to meet Lee's confused handsome face.

"Why didn't you tell us you have brothers, Charlotte? And I know I asked that yesterday, but seriously- why?"

Charlotte just looked at him coldly- why should she tell him? He was a human, and she was a vampire. She was the superior race- food chain and all that.

But she knew that he wouldn't stop asking, and Stefan was being enough of a pain in the ass- she didn't want another one.

"We were all fine until Stefan turned twelve. He began getting distant and stuff- and then this girl came along, and he crushed on her. And then suddenly I was a spare part to them, okay? Now fuck off," she said coldly to him. Sympathy was on his face, and she stalked past him up to her room to get dressed.

No way was she going to make an effort to look pretty when she felt like shit- especially just to meet her brothers. But she looked drop dead gorgeous anyway in her plain black hooded jumper, black jeans, and black boots. Stomping down the stairs, she heard Lee's heartbeat quicken already- and she smirked. Passing by him, Charlotte could feel his heart beating so fast that it was threatening to come out of his chest. She had to fight not to look at him- hey, he was half-naked.

"Where are you going?" she heard him ask as she was pulling the door open.

"Out."

And she flounced out the door.

Time to go see her pathetic brothers and their chew toys.

Eeurgh.
