Well, I'm trying to stretch it for the few people who don't want it ended yet.

What the hell happened when I left? Before I had left, Trevor would have told me to suck it up and find someone else to help me or he would do it for some stupid and cruel stipulation. Now . . . now, he didn't even want me to beg for him to help; I just asked and he agreed. If Trevor had changed that much since I left town just a few days before, what about my mom and dad? Billy? Oh god, Becky. What about Becky?

I swallowed the lump in my throat and grabbed Sirius' hand. "Are you ready for that ice cream?"

"Yeah!"

"It's going to be a little while before my friend comes to pick us up. Are you sure you don't want something a little more . . . foodie?"

I noticed he glanced at my wrist with hunger in his eyes. "I'll take that as a no."

He giggled. "I won't bite you, silly!"

I have to admit that for a minute there I was a little scared. Sirius was a vampire in a little boy's body. Well, half a vampire in a little boy's body. It could possibly be intimidating.

My phone buzzed as we walked to the food court of the airport. I'm not sure why I didn't even think to check the caller ID. I should have. I guess I assumed to was Trevor or maybe Amelia. I was far off. Way, way far off. It wasn't that I hadn't wanted him to call, well, it might've been. No! No . . . I just didn't want to hear him confirm what I was sure he felt for me. Hatred.

"Raven, I swear—"

"Jagger, please. Don't say it. Please, don't say it."

There a silence ensued and Sirius looked up at me with the bright eyes of a kid his age when he spotted the ice cream stand. I handed him a five dollar bill and followed him over to the stand.

Jagger still hadn't said anything. All I could hear was his breathing.

"Goodbye, Jagger."

When I saw Trevor I jumped up from my spot on the bench next to Siri. "Oh god, Trevor! I don't know what I'd do without you!"

His arm's wrapped around me and his lips pressed to mine in a heated way. I got caught up in the moment and I kissed him back. His hands wrapped into my hair and I am ashamed to admit I moaned. Suddenly Trevor pulled back and I followed his gaze down to Sirius.

"Miss Raven isn't sposed to be kissing you," Siri said solemnly. "Mr. Jagger will hurt you if he finds out."

"Is this your plus one? A kid?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem with that, Trevor?" I asked in my grouchiest voice possible. I had to be mean now. I just cheated on Jagger

"Not one bit." He smiled.

It was slightly charming.

"Sirius, this is Trevor. Trevor, meet Sirius." I introduced.

Sirius had fallen asleep in the backseat when Trevor's hand slid over and brushed against mine. I could take a hint. He wanted to hold my hand and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what I could do. It all depended on what Jagger and I were and I wasn't sure anyone knew. Neither of us actually said the words 'we're done' and we didn't feel like a couple the last time I saw him. Nothing was certain. But why would I want to kiss Trevor and hold hands with him? Last I checked we were supposed to hate each other. It didn't mean that I really did hate him, but we were supposed to. A preppy boy and a Goth girl getting along? No way.

"Trevor . . . I can't. Just because I came home . . . doesn't mean that Jagger and I are over, that I can be with you."

"Jagger? You're with him? How did this happen?"

"I can't say a relationship status exactly . . . it's a little complicated . . ." I glanced at Trevor quickly and looked back to the dash. "I was dating Alexander and I loved him. I really did, but Jagger . . . I fell in love with him a little bit more each time he showed up. Then I had this weird dream and I told him I'd travel around the world with him."

"What do you have Sirius?"

I'd worked on a backstory on the plane so I was prepared for this. I knew everyone would wonder why I had a kid with me.

"He's Jagger's cousin. Their family is having a lot of problems and I wanted to help. Siri's mom said I could help by taking him here and watching after him for a while."

"And are you sure you're ready to face your parents?"

"No."

"Well, you two can stay at my place tonight if you want. My parents are going to be out of town for a while."

"Really?"

"Yep," he said popping the 'p'.

I felt a black hole develop in the pit of my stomach. This probably wasn't the best thing for me to do . . . not to mention Sirius. I had already kissed Trevor. What the hell would I do with him stuck in his house with him? Then with Sirius . . . I don't know a lot about him. He'll need blood and if Trevor—or anyone for that matter caught us—the situation would not be good for anyone, especially us.

"I'm not sure how to thank you."

He chuckled and I swear, under his breath he said, "I might be able to think of a few things."

Thanks for reading! R&R!

I really want you to tell me if you like the little bit of R/T and if you do, want you want to happen in the next chapter. I won't start writing it until I get a couple of ideas. (I'll give you credit for them if you contribute!)
