AN: OMG! I finally got my hands on the hunger games loved it and I loved Peeta! and Gale but I don't know which one I like better. Anyone else read the hunger games?

sorry for the late update I was just so busy with sports and assignments but I'm on my vacay now so hopefully It will be more frequent no promises. Hope you guys liked the sneak peak I'll tell you guys if I'm going to be late U.D

I couldn't believe it Rosemarie Hathaway was standing there smiling at me like it's just a normal day. I however did not find it normal to see my well I don't know what to call him my kind of boyfriend ex girlfriend standing at his doorstep. I suddenly felt insecure, Adrian was in love with her, well he had been in love with her until she broke his heart. What if her being back bought up old memories and he started loving her again and left me. Stop it Sydney she's going to know some things up.

"Can we come in?"

"We?" I asked.

"Yeah." Rose said and then I saw Queen Vasilissa Dragomir standing outside making her way toward us and her boyfriend Christian Ozera they made a cute couple, they both had stunning looks that contrasted well together.

"Sorry come on everyone's in the lounge." I walked in with them and Adrian's eyes widened in shock.

"Rose!" Jill said gleefully and hugged the older girl.

"Hey Jill how you been?, We heard what happened." Rose said with a grim face. Adrian just stayed silent like he couldn't quite believe Rose was standing right in front of him.

"I've been good, I missed you guys." I could tell by Vasilissa expression that she was pained to be in the same room as Jill and I could tell Jill felt uncomfortable because she could tell, that Vasilissa wasn't use to her. "Is that why your here because of the vampire hunters?" Jill asked.

"Vampire hunters?" Dimitri and Sonya recapped what we just told them, while Adrian continued to look dumbstruck. I wish he would tell me that everything was going to be okay between us even though Rose was here, But I know that was me being selfish and insecure. His eyes met mine from across the room.

"Hey Sage can I talk to you in my room." All eyes were on us. I felt insecure more than ever surrounded by all these beautiful people.

"Uh...sure." I said. I could feel their eyes on my back. He lead me through a small hallway that lead into his room which was dark his bed was unmade and their was paintings everywhere some of them were covered while others were hidden behind another painting. I realized I've never been in a boys room before. I blushed at the thought of being in Adrian's room.

"I wanted to show you something." Not the words I wanted to hear.

"What?" I asked softly. He pulled out a painting from behind, and I gasped. It was a painting of me.

" I know it doesn't do you justice I couldn't get your eye's right."

"No Adrian's it's beautiful you made me look so... beautiful-." My voice broke a little. I felt a lump in my throat.

"Sage you are beautiful." I felt my cheeks heat up again and I look to the ground. I felt Adrian's hand on my chin as he tilts it up so I have to look at him. I get lost in a sea of green. "Sage you don't know how beautiful you are." I want to look away but I just can't he inclines his head closers to mine and kisses me softly. I know things are going to be all right with me and Adrian even though Rose is here. I hear a soft knock on the door. Adrian takes a step away from me and clears his throat.

"Come in."

"It's only me." Sonya say's. "you don't have to hide your relationship from me I can see it in your Aura's." I blushed again and Adrian puts his arm around my waist.

"Yeah she's my girl." Adrian says playfully with a wink.

"Sonya can you not tell the others just yet were's still sorting some things out." I said. I think Adrian agreed with me because I still didn't know were we stand.

"Of course dear, We've contacted your school and told them you wouldn't be going back to Amberwood straight away." I was relieved to hear that I needed some time to get over what happened.

"You could stay with me if you want?" I would rather take Adrian's apartment then Clarence's creepy manor. There was a hotel

"I'll think about it." But inside I was actually dying to say yes! but didn't want to seem creepy I'm not really good with social cues.

"Well you guys if you don't want people to get suspicious then I suggest you shouldn't be cooped up in here for too long or they'll get the wrong ides." She winked at us. I felt myself go red again, Adrian seemed to be loving this. I was so screwed. I had feelings for a vampire party boy, and was really getting attached to Jill, Eddie and even Angeline. I was scared of re-education centres but I couldn't just pretend like I don't have feelings for Adrian or have become attached to vampires. Their really not as bad as Alchemist make them out to be.

"Sage." Adrian's voice bought me out of my horrible thoughts. "Do you wanna go back into the lounge?"

"Sure." I said putting a fake smile on my face. Adrian takes my hand.

"Sage is everything okay between us I mean I know it's got to be weird with...you...uh.. know." I could see the pained expression on Adrian's face just talking about her. I try to mask my pain.

"It's okay I get what you're saying." Adrian looks relieved. He drops my hand as we get closer to the lounge I already miss the warmth of it. I see Rose and Dimitri are nowhere in sight they probably catching up with each other. I guess it must be hard for both of them, being apart for so long. Adrian notices too I can't read the expression on his face. I also noticed Jill and Eddie were gone I think it's probably because Vasilissa was here and she must feel awkward and Eddie would have to follow her because he's her guardian and is totally in love with her. I wonder when their going to drop the bomb. Vasilissa bought of my thoughts.

"It's Sydney right?" I nodded I realised we hadn't been properly introduced with all the chaos going on. "I'm Lissa and that's my boyfriend Christian."

"How's it going." He said with a half wave.

"Fine, I don't want this to sound rude or anything but what are you guys doing here anyway?" Vasilissa smiled.

"Well Dimitri told us that Jill was missing and we got really worried and kept thinking it was Moroi rebels and then we find out Adrian's gone too, so we flew out in a private jet to find you guys but it looks like we missed all the action." I remember something Jill told me that she feels that the reason why they protect her so much is because of Vasilissa because they all still want her to be in power, I don't know if that was quite true but Vasilissa made it quite obvious she's not use to Jill. I knew Vasilissa wasn't a bad person and neither was Jill I would hate to be in their position. I suddenly missed Zoe and her sweet smiling face. I really hoped she's forgiven me, she was still so young and innocent and couldn't be mixed with the Alchemist world I will not let that happen, I can't let that happen. It will destroy poor little Zoe who was still very naive. Oh how I wanted to hug her right now and see her with her two cute little pigtails. In a way Zoe was a lot like Jill. I guess I always kept thinking of Jill as Zoe.

"Sage you okay?" Adrian whispered in my ear. I felt his warm breath on my neck and shivered. It felt tantalizing. I got goosebumps down my arms.

"Yeah just feeling a little homesick." I thought of Zoe's in here cute pyjamas again.

"Your missing your folks, I'm glad I'm away from court." I shook my head.

"No I don't miss my parents, well let me rephrase that I don't miss my dad I miss my sister Zoe and my mom."

"You don't like your dad?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. "That makes two of us." He said with a devilish grin on his face.

Typical Adrian. I shake my head, he's never going to change. But I'm wrong he has changed he's becoming a better person.

"Hey Sydney can I talk to you?" I turn around and see Rose is back.

"Ah yeah sure." What could Rose want to talk to me about? Did she know about me an Adrian. Calm down Sydney your jumping to conclusions.

"So how you been Sydney?" I let out a sigh of relief, I knew I was just jumping to conclusions.

"I've been good." But I could be better I thought.

"How's Jill been? I didn't really get a chance to contact her and ask her how her first day went, I was going to ask her before but she disappeared." Confusion lit Rose's features.

"She's been good as well, she had a few problems at the beginning but we dealt with it." She had mixed emotions on her face.

"What sort of problems?" I didn't quite know how Rose would react to the news that Jill was getting bullied because this guy who looked like a dead ringer for Mason Ashford liked Jill. But I was saved by Adrian.

"Hey there you are Sydney, Sonya wants to see you." He saw Rose and the smile on his face was instantly gone. His eyes darted back and forth between us. "I can tell her to wait if your busy?" He said in a tight voice.

"Ah no, no I wouldn't want to keep Sonya waiting." I said nervously. Why should I be nervous I was just talking to Rose about Jill. "I'll talk to you later?" Rose just nods and looks at Adrian weirdly.

"Definitely." I walk towards Adrian and he puts his hand lightly on my lower back.

"What were you and Rose talking about?" I felt a pang of jealousy again.

"Nothing, just about how Jill's been."

"Oh." Again I couldn't read his expression. I wish I knew what he was thinking. I could ask Jill but I think that would be weird. "You know Sonya didn't actually want you I just wanted you all to myself." I felt my heart rate increase again. Adrian Ivashkov you causes so much emotions to swirl in me do you know that. I thought. One minute you make me feel insecure and then the next you make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. The door bell rang.

"I'm guessing that's Trey."

"I'll get it." Adrian said. He dropped his arm from my waist. He opened the door and saw Trey he didn't look that bad he had a few scratches and cuts but that's about it.

"Do you want me to get the first aid kit?" I ask Adrian.

"Ah yeah it's in the kitchen." Trey sits down on the steps he looks drained. I was just about to walk into the kitchen when I hear Rose and Lissa talking in the kitchen. I freeze, I stay extremely still and hold my breath. Vampires had amazing hearing.

"Did you notice how weird Sydney and Adrian were acting today, do you think something's up?" Lissa said.

"What Adrian and Sydney?" Rose asked shocked. "It could happen but I don't think Sydney's Adrian's type, maybe Adrian's using her as shock value for his parents." Rose said with a shrug.

I felt tears threaten my eyes would Adrian do that? Of course your not Adrian's type I mean he dates pretty girls who look like supermodels. I'm nothing like Rose or supermodels. I take a few seconds to compose myself and then take a deep breath, I push open the door and grab the first aid kit and walk out again.

"Here." I said to Adrian I couldn't look him in the eye. He raises and eyebrow at me, which makes him look hotter than he already is.

"Thanks." He said.

"Do you want me to do it since your not very good with bandages and I think Trey would be more comfortable with a human doing it." I just verbally bitch slapped Adrian. He looked stunned for a moment than composed himself quickly.

"Fine." He says tightly and leaves. While Trey just looks confused.

"What was that all about?" I shake my head.

"Nothing." I said and started wiping the cut near his eyebrow. "How did you get injured so much."

"I had to knock some guys out the place is monitored." I never thought of that I felt guilty. Trey was trying to read my expression.

"But it's okay I'm okay." He said trying to make me feel better. I felt a little better but was Adrian did Trey really like me like that?

"Thanks for trying to make me feel better." I said with a half smile. He grins at me.

"Your welcome." He looks deep into my eyes and gets a weird look on his face. Then I feel his lips on mine I don't have time to respond because I'm so shocked. Someone clears their throat behind us. I pull away and see it's Adrian. He looks hurt and angry. He storms into the house.

"Adrian wait." I feel so guilty. I see every ones looking at us but I don't care I need to explain that I didn't kiss him back I don't even know were that kiss came from. I follow him into his room

"What Sydney? shouldn't you be making out some more?" I knew this is serious he called me Sydney.

"It's not what it looks like." I say softly. my eyes burn and I look at the ground.

"Really? Cause it looked like you were all over Mr quarterback!"

"Why do you care your just using me for shock value!" I say angrily.

"What?" He looks confused. "I'm not using you for shock value I never have! where'd you get that idea from." I look away.

"Never mind."I whisper I just blew it with Adrian. Why can't I just trust him I'm so stupid.

"What so you make these claims and you don't have any thing to back them up?"

"I'm sorry okay." I say more to the ground then him I don't even know if he even heard me.

"Sydney would you please talk to me I'm really confused here.'' He throws his hands in the air in exasperation.

"I overheard Rose and Lissa talking about us." I said softly. He takes a step towards me. He looks mad but I know it's not at me.

"What did they say." He said with his teeth gritted.

"That I wasn't your type and you if we were to be going out that you would be most likely using me as shock value." I've never seen Adrian so pissed in the time I've known him. "Adrian please don't just leave it." I grab his arm. He looks at my pleading face.

"Fine." His face softened.

"Adrian I'm serious I...I don't like Trey like that I don't know he just kissed me and I was just so shocked." He cups my face with his hands.

"I know, I believe you sorry I blew up at you I...I just really like you and don't wanna lose you." I felt giddy. He pressed his forehead against mine.

"I really...like you too." He chuckles.

"I love it when you turn all shy." I felt blood rushing to my face. His lips presses onto mine, Their soft and want me craving for me. I press myself closer to him and things start to get hot. He pulls away. My eyes feel heavy after that kiss.

"Wow." I blushed again what if I took things to far or things were moving to fast. "That was amazing, you're amazing." I giggled. "I...I think I wanna go public with out relationship their gonna find out sooner or later and that way nobody can say anything about you."

"Okay."

"Lets do this." He grabs my hand and marches up to everyone. "I have an announcement everyone." All eyes were on us I felt more uncomfortable then ever. "Me and Sage here ARE going out." He put and emphasis on "are." everyone looked shocked except Sonya. "And thought you should know in case there was any confusion." I saw Lissa and Rose blush. Everyone came and congratulated us, it felt as if we were getting married.

"Umm...I have something to tell you guys too." Jill said nervously.

"Do you really want to tell them now?" Eddie whispered. Rose, Lissa and Dimitri all looked very interested now. I think Sonya already knew from their aura's

"Now or never." She took a deep breath. "Me and Eddie are sort of going out too." There was just silence. Here face turned a light shade of pink. Vasilissa mouth drops open. Eddie looks to the ground like he knew this was a bad idea. Sonya breaks the silence.

"That's lovely you two." I relaxed I hadn't known I was so wound up. Adrian offers a encouraging smile to Jill.

"Adrian." I whisper. "Yes." He raise one eyebrow again.

"Yes to what?"

"Yes I will stay here if... if you want me here." I say shyly. He looks at me like I'm nuts.

"Of course I want you here" He wraps his arm around my waist kisses my head.

"We should really help them out they look like their dying."

"So Castile you and Jailbait." He was acting like he didn't know about them. Eddie looked grateful.

"That's great!" I said. Lissa and Rose are just looking at all of us like we've gone mad.

"That is great." Dimitri agreed Adrian's gaze went to Dimitri. He looked shocked.

"Eddie can I talk to you." Lissa and Rose said. He gulped I felt sorry for him. Adrian chuckled.

"Poor bastard." He's gonna be a dead man. I think my life would be a whole lot worse if the Alchemist found out about me and Adrian the fears came back but this time they hit me like a tonne of bricks I couldn't breath.
