I apologize for the wait. I'll try to update sooner, but with school starting again and the additional activities that have been chosen for me, it won't be as soon as I would like. But I promise I will really try.


"Alexander and I broke up." I said to Becky at lunch.

"Oh my god! Why?"

"Classified . . . but well, I said we need to talk because I, well . . . sort of slept with someone . . ."

"WHO?"

"Jagger."

"Trevor's friend? Luna's brother?"

"Yes . . . and well, Becky—"

"Oh my god! You're pregnant!" She shouted. Everyone in the diner stared, well, even more than usual.

"NO! I AM NOT!"

"Oh, good."

"I'm running away with him, but I'll be back soon."

"Okay."

"I'm surprised you're taking this so well."

"I won't tell your secret if you don't tell mine."

I nodded.

"I'm pregnant. It's Matt's."

Wow. I had not been expecting that.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to keep it."

"Becky, I can't leave. Not now."

"I want you to be happy. You leaving will make you happy?"

"Yes."

"Then you'll leave and call me every other day."

"I will." I promised.

"And you have to buy me lunch."

"Deal."

R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J-R&J

I turned around from my desk from writing a 'goodbye & forgive me' letter and Jagger was sprawled across my bed.

"Hi," I said as I blushed.

"Hey. Are you ready to go?"

"How long have you been here?"

"Long enough."

"As in?" I prompted.

Jagger rolled his eyes. "Ten minutes. Are you ready to go or not?"

"I suppose."

I was having second thoughts. What all was I leaving here? Becky and Matt and their unborn child. Nerd boy, Mom, Dad . . . Alexander . . .

"Second thoughts?"

"No," I lied. I was doing this. I could get what I wanted almost my whole life. Immortality. But that wasn't the only reason. I just couldn't help that I loved him. "Where are we going first?"

"I wanted to ask you that. Where would you like to go?"

That brought me up short. He was giving me a choice? The nefarious Jagger was giving me, a mere mortal, a choice?

"What?" he asked.

"I get to choose?"

"There are few people in the world I would give a choice to. You, my mother and father."

"Parents are always in charge. Why me?"

"I told you last night."

He told me many things last night, but one definitely stuck out more-so than the rest.

"You love me."

Jagger nodded before snapping; "Now where do you want to go? I'm getting impatient."

"Well, we'll have forever." I chewed on my lip.

"Where is it you've always wanted to go?"

"I want to go to . . . Italy."

"Italy it is then."


I'd never been on a plane before and so far I was enjoying it. Our flight was at night so Jagger was safe.

Our seats were in first class, which, I'm ashamed to say, excited me. I'd only ever been in my home town of Dullsville and to Hipsterville to shop and visit Aunt Libby.

We were both used to the stares that people would give us So we ignored them . . . for the most part.

I was walking off the plane when a guy maybe my age, definitely a jock, decided to trip me.

Jagger caught me before I hit the ground and he instantly turned on the man.

"Jagger, come on. Let's just go. I'm fine."

"Yeah, Jagger. What the fuck kind of name is that?"

His eyes were burning with anger, but not from the insult, and instantly it was covered up.

"You have a good night now, you hear?" I said as I pushed Jagger away. The eye contact broke between the two men.

"What the fuck was that about?"

"He hurt you."

"I'm fine, Jagger! You're overreacting and," as I looked in his I eyes I noticed hunger, "you're hungry!"

"Don't talk about things you don't know anything about!" Pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes he said, "I'll go get the bags, you go to the limousine."

I usually felt like I could trust him, but this time was different. He wasn't only going to get the bags; I could tell. From my usual curiosity, I followed him. I felt like a stalker, but curiosity killed the cat. I was the cat and I would be killed to satisfy my curiosity.

As I watched, I noticed the man from the plane.

Jagger was following him.

Oh my god.


Next chapter is being started tonight. I don't care if I have an acting camp to get to early. I owe you guys for the reviews and the love.

I promise I'll try harder! ;)
